Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 904

"It was... Lady Amber's people," Scarlett said softly, a look of profound disappointment on her face. "When she found out you were in Falveria, she saw the perfect opportunity to have you assassinated. A murder in a warzone is practically untraceable. I just never imagined she could be so ruthlessly cold-blooded. After all, you and Dylan are a couple. You're her future daughter-in-law! No matter how much she dislikes you, resorting to murder is unimaginable."

Elena instinctively tried to clench her fists, but her fingers remained limp and unresponsive.

Amber Sinclair.

She was a viper. They had no initial bad blood, yet Amber was determined to wipe her off the map.

Was she really that paranoid about her secret getting out?

A chilling realization swept over Elena. She had promised Amber she wouldn't expose her, but clearly, a dead girl was the only guarantee Amber would accept.

"Elena, did you offend Lady Amber in some way? What exactly is going on between you two?" Scarlett probed gently.

"We do have some bad blood," Elena admitted. "But it's..."

"If it's not convenient to tell me, I understand. Just please, be careful. She failed in Falveria, but she might try again here in Aethelgard. You must protect yourself."

Seeing Scarlett's genuine concern, Elena decided she couldn't afford to remain passive.

"Madam Scarlett, since she has no honor, I owe her no loyalty. I'll tell you the truth. I have leverage over her. That's why she wants me dead."

"Leverage?" Scarlett feigned absolute shock.

"Yes. She’s been cheating on Mr. Sinclair for years. She's having an affair with Declan Bennett. I caught them red-handed at a hotel. That's why she's so desperate to silence me."

"Is... is this true?! How dare she! To commit such a scandalous act under our very noses!"

"That's all I know, Madam Scarlett."
