Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1585: Chapter 1569: Coming Clean

”Mr. Huang, I think with your current situation, you should know without us saying it, if you want to get out alive, you’ll have to rely on us.”

Seeing that Mr. Huang was clearly not buying it, Huo Sining’s brow unconsciously furrowed. However, in this situation, it was evidently not suitable to have a conflict with this person, so Huo Sining tried to negotiate.

But Huo Sining’s words made Mr. Huang sneer: ”Rely on you? What a joke. Even if I’m injured, I’m not alone. Aren’t you clearly disregarding Miss Yue and Master Chen?”

As soon as Mr. Huang mentioned Miss Yue and Master Chen, Huo Sining couldn’t help but laugh: ”Really? Do you think Miss Yue is on your side?”

Mr. Huang was taken aback and instinctively looked towards Miss Yue.

Miss Yue’s gaze flickered slightly, turning her head away and not meeting Mr. Huang’s eyes. She just slowly paced a few steps forward, sidling up behind Huo Sining.

This attitude was already very clear. Mr. Huang never anticipated such a turn of events, and his expression immediately froze.

When he realized what was happening, his face instantly darkened: ”Xiao Yue, how could you...”

Miss Yue hesitated for a moment before saying: ”Uncle Huang, I’m sorry, I can’t let you just walk away with that thing.”

Mr. Huang finally came to understand, his face twisting with anger: ”So, from the start at Yiyun Ridge, you’ve been deceiving me?”

Miss Yue said nothing, but it was clear she acknowledged it.

Mr. Huang laughed bitterly, seeming both angry and annoyed. Finally, his gaze fell on Miss Yue, somewhat unwillingly asking:

”We’ve known each other for so many years, I watched you grow up, and now you’d rather trust a stranger you’ve only met a few times over your Uncle Huang?”

Unconsciously, Miss Yue raised her head to glance at Huo Sining, her gaze wandering between Huo Sining and Qibao, before lifting her head again, her eyes resolute: ”No, Uncle Huang, they’re different!”

Mr. Huang sneered: ”What’s different about them? What kind of bewitching potion have they fed you that you’re like this after less than half a day? You’ve really let your Uncle Huang down! Are you doing right by your parents?”

At the mention of her parents, Miss Yue’s pupils constricted sharply. Pain and struggle flashed in her eyes, and finally, she couldn’t hold back anymore, gritting her teeth as she looked firmly at Mr. Huang:

”Since you brought up my parents, then today, I must ask a question. Uncle Huang, how did my parents really die back then?”

Mr. Huang clearly hadn’t expected Miss Yue to suddenly ask such a question. He paused, and his face flared up with anger: ”What do you mean by asking this? Are you suspecting me?”

Miss Yue’s eyes were filled with confusion: ”Is it not? If it wasn’t you, how did the Classic of Mountains and Seas end up in your possession? And how did my mother’s ruby necklace come to be Aunt Huang’s?”

”I’ve explained before, I got that book by chance, and the ruby necklace was bought by your aunt herself. What’s the problem?”

Mr. Huang’s heart sank sharply, realizing that the questions Miss Yue was asking were not right, and his expression grew even angrier as if trying to mask his inner panic.

Miss Yue had long noticed the oddity in Mr. Huang’s eyes. She sneered and said:

”You know perfectly well what the problem is! Don’t think that you could fool me just because I was young back then! A few months ago, I went to the old house, and in the attic, I found my mom’s diary with a photo inside. In the photo, she was wearing that same ruby necklace Aunt Huang has!”

”In my mom’s diary, she also wrote that my dad got a mysterious book from Huaxia, about Huaxia’s mythological tales, which he was very interested in and wanted to study. But he thought you were more knowledgeable in that area, so he sought your help.”

”The diary wasn’t detailed, but I guess that mysterious book is the Classic of Mountains and Seas in your hands, right? You must have seen something unusual in the book back then, so you deliberately found an opportunity to cause trouble, making something happen to my parents so you could seize the book for yourself!”

Miss Yue’s eyes were fixed on Mr. Huang, clearly indicating that these thoughts had been entrenched in her mind for a long time.

Mr. Huang, panicked and unsure what to do, tried to maintain his composure:

”Do you see your Uncle Huang like this? It’s simply nonsense, ridiculous to the extreme. I was as close as a brother to your father; why would I harm him just for a book I don’t even know much about?”

Miss Yue shook her head. With things reaching this point, Mr. Huang’s continued stubbornness and refusal to admit left Miss Yue deeply disappointed.

She silently shook her head, softly saying: ”Half a month ago, I went traveling, telling you I was going to Australia. But I lied to you, in fact, a week ago, I went to Amsterdam.”

At the mention of Amsterdam, Mr. Huang’s expression immediately froze, and he began to shiver all over.

Miss Yue, as if not noticing, continued: ”In Sunset Town, I met someone who told me she was forcibly sent there. If she didn’t go, her children would be in danger.”

”Why would they be in danger? Because someone used despicable means to control her children. Why would that person do such a thing? Because the person forcibly sent to Amsterdam knows a secret.”

There, Mr. Huang lowered his head, his entire being hidden in the shadows, so no one could see the expression on his face.

Miss Yue’s smile lingered on her lips, but her eyes welled with tears: ”It turns out it was that person who suggested my parents go on a honeymoon for their wedding anniversary, even arranging the route. That honeymoon trip was the one from which they never returned.”

”Heh heh heh.”

At this moment, Mr. Huang, who had been hiding in the corner, suddenly laughed strangely:

”You can’t blame me for this. It was your father’s stubbornness. Back then, I told him that to study what was written in that book, he must come to Huaxia and investigate a few ancient tombs, but he refused. Later, he said he wanted to donate the book to the Huaxia Museum.”

”I studied with him without expecting any return, but he said donate and wanted to donate. I had already understood some parts of the book. How could I let him donate it just like that? I tried to persuade him many times, but he wouldn’t listen, so I had to find a way to keep the book.”
