The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 124

“Maybe her husband already knew she was messing around, so he found someone else too.”

“They’re all the same. Miss, just let them go, let them live however they want.”

“Yeah, the kid is theirs. If they don’t want to take care of her, nobody else can do anything about it.”

The people from the van suddenly changed their tone.

Everyone looked down on the woman for cheating, and even their sympathy for the child started to fade.

Both the man and the woman noticed the shift. There was a hint of relief in their eyes, though they kept up their tough act.

The woman spoke up, “He went off to work and never sent a single cent home. Why should I have his kid?”

“When he was actually home, he’d either yell at me or hit me. Raye was the only person who was ever good to me.”

“I only met up with Raye a few times, I never thought I’d end up having a baby.”

She really has no shame. That was what everyone watching was thinking.

The only one who saw through them was Claire. She actually admired their acting—these two knew how to play the crowd, even when they were making themselves look bad. They could adapt to anything in a heartbeat.

“What’s everyone standing around for? Is anyone seriously hurt here?”

The police had arrived. That voice made both the man and woman tense up.

“Move aside, please. The ambulance is here for the seriously injured.”

As the officer came closer, the crowd shifted, leaving Claire still holding tightly to the woman.

The woman tried to run. She was even ready to drop the child and bolt, but she couldn’t break free from Claire’s grip.

How could this girl look so delicate but be so strong?

“Our kid isn’t getting in the ambulance! We’re not going to the hospital, we’ll just go to a clinic!”

“Yeah, it’s our right! Officer, please, get this crazy girl off us!”

“She’s stopping us. She won’t let us get medical help for the child!”

The officer automatically looked over at the man Claire was talking about. The man saw the police looking his way, his eyes flashed with panic, and suddenly he bolted.

There were a lot of people around, and it looked like he had already planned how to escape. In a flash, he disappeared into the crowd.

But the officer wasn’t about to let him get away.

He radioed his colleagues, and they managed to catch the man.

Everyone’s attention was on the man now. That’s when the woman suddenly hurled the child from her arms.

Claire and Valeria both stiffened in shock.

“No!” Valeria screamed.

Everyone around gasped.

No one expected the woman to be that heartless.

Claire reacted in a split second. She kicked the woman hard in the knee, sending her straight down to the ground, and the child slipped from her grasp.
