Revenge Of The Rogue Heiress

Chapter 22

The monkeys keenly sensed the presence of others, and the creatures turned their collective gaze toward Samson and Meghan.

Evangeline said, "Ignore them. They pose no threat.

The monkeyst

then looked away and encircled Evangeline.

The other monkeys had even offered Evangeline bananas, placing the bunch of fruit in front of her.

Evangeline directed, "You two go ahead. I'll just have two."

When she had finished eating, she stood up and was set for a stroll.

This time, Evangeline did not go up the hill. Instead, she walked along the foothill, thinking she would explore the other places.

The monkeys wanted to follow her, but Evangeline said. "Don't follow me. Go play on your own. I'll walk alone."

The next second, the monkey king signaled its troop of monkeys to return to the mountain.

Meghan and Samson quietly followed Evangeline from a distance.

After a brief walk. Evangeline stumbled upon another wild fruit,

It was myrtle berries.

There was a bounty of the wild fruit, all ripe. The myrtle berries were black and were all about the size of a thumb.

Memories flooded back to Evangeline's childhood, recalling their delightful taste but also the painful aftermath of overindulging in these berries. If consumed too much, these myrtle berries would only lead to a diarrhea

Back then, with little knowledge about the fruit, Evangeline vividly recalled the discomfort she faced after a berry binge. In the end, it was her good friend who came to the rescue, helping her clean her stinky pants because of the diarrhea.

Her friend said he had to hold his breath while doing the cleaning.

The experience left her friend so disgusted that he could not bring himself to eat for days.

Evangeline could not even look her friend in the eyes for days.

Evangeline ate the myrtle berries while picking them.

She was cautious not to eat more than 20 berries and continued walking, fearing the discomfort it might bring.

Before Meghan could venture far, she ran toward the myrtle plant. Eyes gleaming with excitement, she eagerly plucked the berries with both hands and gulfed them down..

Since she acted too quickly, even the leaves found their way into her mouth.

Samson followed suit, equally eager to pick the berries.

The two devoured the berries in silence.

Their wild feast continued until satisfaction filled their stomachs and only stopped when the ingested myrtle berries were regurgitated with a medley of belches,

Meghan said, "Sam, wasn't my decision spot on? Look what it led us to. Food!"

Tm full. I haven't been so full for a long time!" Samson said.

It was just wild fruit, but it served its purpose of satiating their hunger.

face lit up with a grin. "Well, you've always been the smartest since you were a kid. Thanks to you, Meghan, I wouldn't be stuck surviving on wild vegetables alone today. You're my lucky star, Meghan" Meghan smiled.

Meghan proposed, "Sam, let's keep exploring. We might find more to eat. If not, we can gather some to take with us.

Samson nodded in agreement.

As the terrain was rarely traveled in, each step taken would leave visible marks on the ground with each step. Following these traces for nearly half an hour, they finally spotted Evangeline. There was a cliff ahead.

As they peered over the edge, a breathtaking landscape of mountains and forests came into view. Evangeline was sitting on the cliff's edge as she watched the scenery.

Sitting at the very edge of the cliff, the slightest shift in accident would send her tumbling down the clif Just then. Meghan's eyes betrayed a malevolent gleam, and a sinister thought took root in her mind.

If only Evangeline fell off the cliff and died in this remote mountain' she thought.

The thought of this dark idea consumed her as soon as it appeared in her mind. silently a

yapproaching Evangeline and pushing her off seemed like an effortless way to rid themselves of her.

The idea repeated in Meghan's mind like a sinister chant. She whispered inwardly, I'm going to push Evangeline off the cliff! I'm going to push Evangeline off the cliff I'm going to push Evangeline off the cliff!! With a malicious glint in her eyes, Meghan advanced slowly toward Evangeline.

She took slow, light steps as she approached Evangeline, afraid of alerting the latter.

Samson frowned and tried to follow, but Meghan caught his shoulder and shook her head, holding him back.

Quietly, Meghan whispered in his car, "Don't come over. I'll apologize to her. Maybe we can make peace before leaving the forest

Samson thought for a moment and nodded.

Evangeline, skilled in wilderness survival, could be an invaluable ally.

Samson looked at Meghan from behind, a relieved smile gracing his face.

He always saw Meghan as a sensible person. Even with the many grievances Meghan had suffered, she had always repeatedly apologized to Evangeline to keep the peace between them, a trait he found superior to Evangeline's behavior.

Meghan s

soon stopped behind Evangeline,

Evangeline was still

on the edge of the cliff, motionless, oblivious that someone w

was approaching her

The sinister glint in Meghan's eyes intensified.

Suddenly, she bent down, and with forceful determination, she pushed Evangeline off the cliff.

Evangeline was thrown off the cliff and plunged downward.

Meghan was so excited that her entire body trembled. She quickly took a few steps back, fearing she would fall off. Her plot had succeeded.

Finally rid of that wretched Evangeline? she silently cheered.

"Meghan, what have you donel Samson exclaimed in horror.

He quickly rushed to the edge of the cliff, and it was at that moment a loud noise echoed from below.

Samson's face paled, his feet going cold as he lay at the clid's edge, anxiously peering below,

However, his view was obstructed by a thick cluster of trees along the wall of the cliff, leaving him in agonizing uncertainty about what lay beneath

the cliff.

"Evangeline! Can you hear me? Evangeline, are you still alive? Samson shouted down the cliff with his voice trembling.

Yet, there was no response, only the echo of the bowling wind.

Meghan's triumphant voice came from behind. Stop shouting. It took her so long to fall. Look at the height of the cliff. Her bones must be broken. There's no way she survived."

Samson trembled violently.

He stood up from the ground and glared at Meghan with bloodshot eyes from anger. "Why did you push Evangeline off the cliff? Do you realize she could die from this?" he asked furiously. Unapologetic. Meghan declared, "I wanted her dead!

Samson looked at her as if he was looking at a stranger. "You did it intentionally? She's my sister! How could you kill her? Even if she's not my biological sister, she's still a human being. How could you take a life?"

Meghan's face gleamed sinisterly as she justified her actions, saying. "You've seen what she did to us these days! She was always hitting us. She did nothing when you had a fever. She even took you to the water and hit yout She left you to die in the water!""

She continued. "She is one vicious woman. She's better off dead! Why are you so upset? I killed her to avenge you!".

"It's fine if you don't thank me, but you scolded me because of her. You took my kindness for granted! I have always known. No matter how good I am to you, I can never be better than your sister in your eyes!” Meghan bellowed. "If you think pushing her off the cliff was wrong, why don't you push me off too! Since you're so fond of her, go ahead and push me off”

Conflicted emotions flickered across Samson's face, his fists forcefully clenching in turmoil

Meghan lowered her voice, her words catching in her throat as she untered, "Sam, you know how much she despises us and our family. She's aiming to harm you now. And when we return home, there is no doubt she will hurt our parents and brothers. If I don't get rid of her, our family will die ar her handi

I'm standing up against this wretched because I wanted to protect our family!" she continued with fervor "Sam, have you forgotten? Evangeline betrayed us by selling the Gallagher family company shares at a meager price to a rival company. She sold our parents out for so much money!" "She's been scheming against our family for a long time. If we don't put an end to her, we're only waiting to die at her hands! Meghan asserted. Samson found himself swayed by her words,

Meghan was right. Evangeline had long severed ties with the Gallagher family and even regarded them as enemies rather than kin

Before joining the show, Evangeline had already set her sights on the Gallagher family, and if left unchecked, she would pose a serious threat to their survival.

Even after everything Evangeline had put him through, the idea of her meeting a tragic end saddened Samson.

Taking a life was a thought he had never entertained, even with his deepest disappointment at Evangeline's lack of sympathy when he was seriously

Samson had only hoped things could be different. He thought maybe he could get his parents involved when they returned and try to set Evangeline on a better path.

If that plan fell through, he could keep an eye on her to stop her from hurting the family further without going to extremes.

Killing off Evangeline had never crossed his mind.

Yet, what had unfolded could not be undone. Samson could not deny Evangeline's wrongdoings, and perhaps fate had caught up with her. Meghan had only acted to protect her family, even when she was ruthless in her methods.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Samson, always reluctant to resort to extremes, had failed to stop the harm Evangeline had done to the Gallagher family. That was a responsibility Meghan had taken on herself, and he could not blame her for that..

Regaining his composure, Samson spoke firmly. "It's good that you're looking out for us, but let's not resort to this again. Killing is against the law. Even if Evangeline was plotting against us, we could've found another way."

Meghan replied softly, "Okay, I'll listens to you. Can you keep this between us? Don't tell anyone, not even our parents or Eddie and Jasper, okay?" Even with all that had happened, Evangeline was the biological daughter of their parents. Meglun knew that if they ever found out she played a role in Evangeline's death, it would undoubtedly create a serious issue for her.

The rest of the Gallagher family were not as gullible and easily fooled as Samson.

Samson hesitated briefly before nodding. "Okay, I promise. You were only doing this for me and to protect the family, I will not let anyone know about this, and I won't let you take all the blame."

Meghan wanted to avenge him and protect their family. She was the one who had saved his life.

Even if he knew Meghan had done something wrong, he could not bring himself to blame her.

Meghan smiled and threw herself into Samson's arms. You're always so good to me. I love you the most. Sam.

Samson smiled gently and said, "You saved my life. Who else should I stand by if not you?"

"Evangeline had done nothing when I was dying in front of her. For someone with no empathy like her, perhaps a fresh start in her next life is the best she can hope for, added Samson.
