The Heiress Reborn with A Mystic Space
Chapter 162 His Fury
Jill had been distraught the entire day. Finally, when she spotted Nora at the school gate, she rushed forward and slapped her hard across the face.
“You bitch! What did you do to me and Rina yesterday p>
Finished
Nora was stunned by the blow, her cheek burning. But when she thought of how that wretched Lillian was finally gone, her heart swelled with delight. Instead of anger, she laughed. “Senior Jill, what are you talking about? I don’t understand. Yesterday we argued, and after that, I left p>
“That’s right, you must be mistaken,” Eda added softly at her side. “Nora was with me shopping yesterday p>
Jill sneered. “Keep pretending. Yesterday, right in the middle of our argument, how did Rina and I suddenly lose consciousness? And you say it had nothing to do with you? Who would believe that? Are you going to admit it or not p>
“What exactly do you want me to admit?” Nora denied fiercely. “We argued yesterday, we both lost our tempers. I think you must be remembering wrong p>
“Lost our tempers? Don’t make me laugh. You drugged me and Rina, then had us taken away. You worked with those people, didn’t you? You helped them lure me away so they could threaten Lillian and take her. Isn’t that what happened?” Jill’s voice was sharp with fury. She was certain Nora had been in on it how else could it have happened so perfectly?
Nora looked at Jill’s rage-filled face and felt a wave of satisfaction like never before. Yes, she had been the bait that day, working with those men to lure Lillian into their hands. The moment she heard it was to deal with Lillian, she had agreed without hesitation. And now, with Lillian gone from school, the resentment she had bottled up for so long had finally eased.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Nora said quickly. “Lillian just asked for leave, didn’t she? How could it have anything to do with me? I’ve got things to do, so I’ll be going p>
“You-” Jill raised her hand to slap her again, but Nora caught her wrist mid-air.
Staring at Jill, Nora sneered. “What, you think you can hit me twice? Lillian’s disappearance has nothing to do with me. That first slap, I’ll let it go because you’re upset. But don’t push your luck.” She flung Jill’s arm aside and smirked as she turned to leave.
But as she turned, a figure appeared before her.
The man’s deep eyes burned with a chilling, murderous light. “Say what you just said again. What happened to Lillian p>
Nora froze on the spot, her body trembling, unable to get/a word out.
Eda’s heart skipped at the sight of him. In her entire life, she had never seen a man so powerful, so breathtaking. Her heart raced wildly, though she forced herself to stay composed. She feigned sorrow as she spoke, “Jill is slandering us. Out of nowhere she claimed Lillian went missing, and said it was connected to Nora. That’s why the argument started p>
Sebastian didn’t even glance at her. His gaze locked on Jill, his voice like steel. “You. Tell me what happened p>

Jill looked up at the man. She didn’t know his exact connection to Lillian, but his presence was
overwhelming, his aura impossible to ignore. Since he knew Lillian, maybe he could help. She quickly explained everything that had happened, from beginning to end.
The moment she finished, Nora panicked. “She’s lying! I don’t know anything p>
But faced with Sebastian’s dark, tightly drawn brows and the aura of cruelty radiating from him, she shuddered uncontrollably.
His eyes narrowed, his tone icy and absolute. “Speak. Tell me everything you know. If I find out even a single lie, I will make you wish for death p>
Nora’s teeth chattered as she stammered, “I… I… I don’t know what you’re talking about. I-I don’t know anything p>
The triumph she had felt earlier now twisted into pure regret. But she couldn’t confess – if she did, it would mean admitting to a crime.
Eda’s eyes shone with false tears as she added in a trembling voice, “Nora really doesn’t know anything. Lillian is close with the campus heartthrob maybe it was another jealous girl. After all, plenty of girls
envy her p>
She had said it deliberately, wanting to plant the idea in this man’s mind that Lillian was a frivolous girl, always entangled with boys. But she had chosen the wrong person to say it to.
Sebastian didn’t so much as glance at her. A cold laugh escaped his lips. “Foster. Take her away. Make sure she’s well looked after. When she talks, she’ll be released p>
At those words, Nora collapsed in terror, fainting on the spot. Foster immediately signaled the guards, and they carried her off.
Eda watched it all, her eyes darkening with malice. She didn’t need to ask – this man was here for Lillian. Even now, even with her gone, someone still stood up for her. The hatred in Eda’s chest only grew stronger.
