Outcast Queen: Her Return from Hell novel Chapter 421

Phoenix gripped her phone, her knuckles stark white against the dark casing.

This was no accident. It was a meticulously planned murder. Whether it was Phoebe or Warren, their deaths were entirely aimed at her!

"I understand." Phoenix hung up, a cold, sharp smile playing on her lips. "Phoebe's biological mother is from Highcrest. Warren was in such a hurry to head north; he was likely going to seek refuge with her."

"But now, Phoebe is dead, and so is Warren. If someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes to pin these two blood debts on me..." Her gaze turned predatory, flashing with chilling intent. "Phoebe's mother will undoubtedly fight me to the bitter end."

"What a brilliant way to use a borrowed knife! I bet the news that 'I killed her family' has already reached that mother's ears."

Yara's eyes revealed unconcealed admiration. "Phoenix, it seems I don't need to spell it out for you. You've already seen through this serial trap tailored specifically for you. What I will add is this—Phoebe's biological mother is Quentin's sister, Isabella Sinclair."

"..."

Phoenix paused, then let out a helpless but relieved chuckle.

"Yara, it seems fate has a hand in this. Even without your history, I was bound to face off against the Quincy Family sooner or later."

She paused and asked, "But there's one thing I don't get. Isn't Barrett Lowery backed by the Osborne Family? Why would he represent the Quincy Family to keep an eye on you?"

Yara pondered for a moment before explaining, "Barrett once saved Emmett Osborne's life. Later, Emmett introduced him to Quentin. Seeing that Barrett was from a Cloudhaven family, Quentin took advantage of the situation and planted him as an observer."

"A disabled outcast from a marginal family—who would be on guard against him? He was naturally the perfect pawn."

Hearing this, everything clicked into place for Phoenix. The clues seamlessly merged together.

Yara's expression grew solemn. She stared intensely into Phoenix's eyes. "Phoenix, Isabella is a total lunatic. Once she believes you killed her daughter, she will do whatever it takes to destroy you. I'm stuck in here and can't intervene. You'll have to walk this path alone."

Phoenix scoffed, her bright eyes devoid of fear. Instead, they burned with a thrilling anticipation. "Yara, I'm strong enough now to weather any storm."

"Besides, I'm not fighting alone anymore."

She stood up abruptly, her posture straight and her gaze more resolute than ever. "Yara, I'm going to put down roots in Highcrest, and I'm going to make waves! Once I've secured my footing, I promise I will get your father out safely."

"When that happens, Quentin's leverage will be nothing but empty words, and you'll be able to walk out of these gates with your head held high!"

"Those scumbags who schemed against you, trampled on you, and humiliated you will eventually be groveling at your feet, begging for mercy!"
