Outcast Queen: Her Return from Hell novel Chapter 98

Hearing those words, Macy didn't feel a trace of jealousy; instead, she tensed up immediately.

"Where are you? I'll come pick you up."

Phoenix gave her the address, then hurried into the master bedroom to grab her laptop.

Her fingers flew across the keyboard. Using her hacking skills, she breached the Miller family's internal network as effortlessly as walking into an empty room.

The data streaming across the screen revealed a brutal truth:

Gideon Miller had suffered a sudden, severe illness two days ago. His kidneys were failing, and he was currently in the ICU.

His only lifeline now was a kidney transplant.

Almost everyone in the Miller family had been tested, but no one was a match.

Suddenly remembering Meredith, the granddaughter they had long marginalized, they dragged her back by force for mandatory testing.

The results proved that Meredith's kidney was a high match for Gideon.

As her fingers traced the data on the screen, Phoenix's knuckles popped loudly, snapping in the silence. The murderous chill in her eyes looked like centuries-old ice.

Meredith—the sweet, naive girl who had become a casualty of her family's power struggles, suffering four years in prison for a crime she didn't commit. She had finally won her freedom, thinking she could sever ties with the rotten Miller family and forge her own path.

Yet these insatiable bloodsuckers were now trying to rip her apart for spare parts.

"Heh, the Millers really have no shame," Phoenix sneered, her lips curling into a vicious smile. "If they dare touch Merry, I don't mind erasing the Miller name from Cloudhaven permanently."

She dialed Eustace's number, her tone completely devoid of warmth. "Tell your men to stand by."

On the other end, Eustace's breath hitched. Even through the phone, he could feel the terrifying, destructive rage radiating off her.

"What happened?"

"I might need to wipe the Miller family off the map," Phoenix narrowed her eyes, radiating pure hostility. "But don't worry, I won't act recklessly. Mobilizing Yara's forces is only a worst-case scenario. I'm just giving you a heads-up."

"You don't need to explain yourself to us. You are Yara's chosen successor. The boys and I will walk through fire for you the second you give the word."

Hanging up, Phoenix felt a heavy weight in her chest.

Yara's forces were massive; they could even go toe-to-toe with the Sterlings.

"I cut ties with the Miller family ages ago! Why the hell should I donate my kidney?!"

"I haven't even started living yet! I haven't even fallen in love! And you want to gut me? Keep dreaming! I hope you all rot in hell!!"

Meredith's voice was completely shot, yet she screamed with enough force to shake the room. A full day and night of endless cursing had left the two guards stationed outside secretly in awe of her resilience.

"Still screaming?" a dark voice asked.

"Yes, Boss. She hasn't stopped once. Her stamina is insane," a guard replied, bowing his head respectfully.

Marcus Miller massaged his temples in irritation and pushed the door open.

Seeing her enemy, Meredith's eyes turned bloodshot. Her fury practically erupted. "Marcus, you animal! You finally have the guts to show your face? You framed me and sent me to prison, and now you kidnap me for my kidney? Aren't you afraid of karma?!"

Adjusting his gold-rimmed glasses, Marcus looked down at her with absolute apathy. "You stole confidential information. The evidence was irrefutable. You deserved prison. As for now..." He paused, his tone laced with chilling entitlement, "Grandpa is dying. As his granddaughter, donating a kidney to extend his life is your duty."

"Duty? Screw your duty!" Meredith laughed hysterically through her rage. "I'll set off fireworks the day he dies! You want me to save him? Try in the next life!"

"Shut your mouth! That is the grandfather who loved you the most!" Marcus barked harshly. "You used to follow him everywhere! It's just a kidney, what's the big deal?!"
