Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 919

Realizing she had nothing left to lose, Amber slowly lifted her head. The terror and submissiveness vanished from her eyes.

Instead, she let out a bitter, mocking laugh. "Yeah, I'm a whore. But didn't you force me into this? Declan and I grew up together. We loved each other. You're the one who used your power to rip me away from him. You forced me to marry you!"

"Marrying me was one thing, but making me your third wife? Did you think we were living in the dark ages? This is the modern world! I was a respectable girl, forced to be your side piece! On the surface, I had the glamour of being the Lady Amber of the Sinclair family, but behind closed doors? Do you have any idea how many people mocked me?"

"I haven't been able to hold my head high for decades! And the worst part? I was just a stand-in! Just because I looked like her, you ruined my entire life. Xavier, I will hate you until the day I die!"

"I had an affair, and I don't regret a single second of it! I never loved you. The only man I ever loved was Declan! We belonged together, but we were denied that because of you. I have been sick of you for decades!"

Amber's hysterical confession echoed through the hall, leaving everyone paralyzed with shock.

Xavier trembled with catastrophic rage.

Crack!

He raised his heavy cane and struck Amber viciously across the back.

"You shameless bitch! You disgusting whore!"

Patricia and the others shrank back in terror, too afraid to even breathe.

"Take her away! Lock her in the Dungeon! And let her starve!" Xavier roared.

The guards hauled a frantically struggling Amber away.

"Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahahaha!" Amber's manic laughter faded down the corridor.

"Xavier, please mind your blood pressure," Scarlett said, her voice dripping with calculated 'concern'.

Xavier waved a dismissive hand. "I'm exhausted. Everyone, get out!"

He was getting older, and his health had been rapidly declining over the past year. This shock was almost too much.

Ethan grabbed Elena's hand, preparing to lead her away.

"My brother and Elise are still hostages in your mother's hands. When are you going to make good on your promise?"

"So if it weren't for them, you would have just run off with him?"

Elena shot him a glacial glare. "Why do you even care? Even if I did run off with him, wouldn't that be perfectly normal? I will go back to him eventually. You and I are nothing but a business transaction. Don't you forget it!"

"Heh. Do you really think I'm holding onto you out of affection? You think I actually want you?" Ethan scoffed dismissively.

"Good. Did you manage to get the antidote?" Elena demanded.

Ethan reached into his pocket and tossed her a few small pills.

"Here. But it's not instantaneous. It'll take at least two days for your strength to fully return."

Elena didn't hesitate. She swallowed the pills dry.

Once her strength returned, and Ethan rescued Harrison and Elise, she would finally be free from Scarlett's suffocating control.
