He Dumped Me For a Heiress, Unaware I Owned His Whole Legacy Chapter 06

It was as if those five years of loving him had been nothing but a ridiculous, futile joke.

Ewan snapped back to his senses in an instant, his hands flying to grip my shoulders tightly.

“You’re lying to me, aren’t you?”

“You’re not the Hale heiress at all. You’ve been lying this whole time!”

“You just want to make me regret everything!”

“Elowen, you’re utterly repulsive!”

He shoved me hard.

A sharp tightness seized my chest, and I nearly stumbled and fell to the ground.

Before I could lose my balance, a steady force behind me caught me firmly.

Ewan’s face turned livid with rage the second he saw who it was.

“M-Mr. Hale.”

Liora hurried forward with a triumphant glint in her eyes, shooting me a scornful glance.

“Mr. Hale, you’re finally here.”

“This young lady has the audacity to pretend to be your sister. You can deal with her however you see fit!”

My brother’s gaze swept over me, and my eyes instantly welled up with tears.

“I’m sorry.”

I had misjudged the man I loved, making my brother suffer alongside me for five long years.

My apology only made Ewan more convinced that I was a fraud. He yanked me behind him protectively.

“Now you’re scared? Did you never stop to think about the consequences before you lied and pretended to be someone you’re not?”

Countless times before, he had shielded me just like this.

Even when he was unconscious, he’d never let anyone else tend to me, not even for simple massages.

I could never fathom why everything changed the second Liora appeared.

“Please overlook her foolish outburst, Mr. Hale. She works for Knight Group and is only acting out of resentment over her dismissal.”

“If she’s said anything disrespectful to you, I apologize on her behalf.”

My brother let out a cold, mocking laugh.

“You apologize for her? You’re not worthy.”

Ewan’s head jolted up. He stared fixedly at my brother, then abruptly grabbed my wrist again, his voice trembling.

“No… this can’t be true.”

“You told me you were an orphan with no family.”

In full view of everyone present, my brother pushed Ewan aside, then reached out and took my hand in his.

He slipped a vintage ruby bracelet onto my wrist.

Someone in the crowd recognized the bracelet immediately, drawing a chorus of stunned gasps.

“Isn’t that the Queen Ruby II that Mr. Hale auctioned off at an astronomical price overseas a few days ago?”

“Word spread that he bought it as engagement gift for his younger sister!”

Ewan’s face turned as white as paper, his lips trembling uncontrollably.

“It’s impossible. This can’t be real. How could you actually be the genuine Hale heiress!”

“If you were truly the young lady of the Hale family… why didn’t you tell me? I would’ve—”

I cut him off, staring at him with icy calm.

“You would’ve what? Married me?”

Ewan’s Adam’s apple bobbed violently, his eyes swirling with overwhelming regret. He lifted his hand, reaching out to touch me.

Liora stopped him instantly, her gaze sharp and vicious as she glared

at me.

“Ewan! We’ve both been schemed against by Elowen!”

“She lied to you on purpose! Her only goal was to destroy you!”

“Don’t be foolish enough to fall for her tricks again!”

I could only laugh at her hysterical outburst.

Ewan’s position as the heir was built entirely on the resources of the Hale Group that I’d poured into him.

I’d stood by his side, climbing from a trivial project team member to where he was today, step by step.

Yet the second Liora showed up, she seized everything I’d spent five years striving for.

I let out a low, bitter laugh.

“What exactly did I scheme for? Schemed for you to use me as a blood bank for her? Schemed for you to kill our child with your own hands?”

The moment the words left my mouth, the entire crowd fell into stunned silence, followed by a chorus of quiet gasps.

Ewan’s face drained of all color in an instant. He jerked his head up to look at me, his voice rough and hoarse with desperation.

“Elowen, I’m sorry. I truly am. Please forgive me. I’ll cut all ties with Liora. I’ll stay with you, I promise.”
