The Real Legacy Was Heartbreak novel Chapter 6

Chapter 6

The following morning, Valerie got up early, gathered her belongings, and prepared to leave the hospital. While heading out, she ran into a few young nurses.

“Did you hear? Mr. Hibben booked the entire upper floor for his fiancée’s treatment. I even heard he assigned every nurse in the hospital to take care of her. He’s so crazy about her.”

“I also heard he stayed loyal to her for nine years. To be good enough for her, he rose from being the Hibben family’s illegitimate son to becoming the family’s heir. They’re supposed to marry in just five days. He will probably throw the most amazing wedding ever. I can’t wait to see it.”

The nurses were talking quietly among themselves, but their expressions turned odd when they noticed Valerie walking by.

Valerie ignored them and kept heading downstairs. But when she lifted her head, she saw that a crowd of reporters was gathered outside the hospital.

As soon as they spotted her, the reporters rushed over and blocked her path.

“Ms. Quinn, as the lady of the Hibben family, you represent the

reputation of the Hibben family. So, can you explain why you were doing something like that with another man in a car, and even post it online?”

“Ms. Quinn, I heard that Sir Hibben died the same day you married into his family. Was it bad luck that caused his death, or did you plan his death just to inherit the Hibben family fortune?”

“Ms. Quinn, is it true that you’ve dated countless men since Sir Hibben passed away? Don’t you think that might hurt the Hibben family’s reputation?”

Valerie stood frozen, overwhelmed by the aggressive questions. She didn’t understand what was happening.

Finally, hospital security rushed over and forced the reporters out, giving Valerie a chance to get away.

But just as she thought everything had calmed down, she noticed people walking by staring at her in disgust. Some whispered to each other, “She has no shame. How could she record such a disgusting video with a man? I bet she had something to do with Sir Hibben’s death. A woman like that should be kicked out of the Hibben family.”

“Filthy woman! Get out of this hospital! Just looking at you is bad luck!”

The crowd started getting more and more aggressive. They began throwing things at her-rocks, sticks, bottles, and even used needles.

Valerie’s chest felt tight, and she dashed out of the hospital like she was running for her life.

Worried that the reporters might catch her again, she quickly pulled up the hood of her jacket to hide her face.

But just as she hurried forward a few steps, Kaylani suddenly stepped in front of her, blocking her way.

“Valerie, do you like the gift I prepared for you?” she said with a mocking smile.
