The Billionaire's True Heiress: From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 409

Rose’s face lost all its color as she turned to Cindy. “Cindy, don’t listen to Shirley. She’s just talking nonsense. I only tried to get on Claire’s good side before because I had no choice.”

Of course Cindy wasn’t clueless. She knew exactly how her current circle used to trip over themselves to please Claire. She just liked to pretend not to notice.

Being rich was weird sometimes. Even as the heiress of the James Family, Cindy still couldn’t shake off the way people looked down on her. All because she’d grown up in the countryside. In this world, the rich girls always thought any girl from the country was hopelessly rough, that there was no way she belonged with them.

So, the girls who thought they were better than everyone else? They didn’t want anything to do with Cindy. The only friends she could make were ones who wanted something from the James Family.

“I believe you,” Cindy reassured Rose with a gentle smile.

Then she faced Shirley, giving her a look that made it clear she wasn’t impressed. “Shirley, how can you say that about Rose and the others?”

“They’re my friends. They’re definitely not my followers or anything like that.”

“Okay, but if they’re my followers, what about the girls standing next to you?”

Cindy glanced at Shirley’s group, the girls all clustered around her.

It was obvious who was in charge of this crew.

Shirley flicked her hair back and lifted her chin. “My friends aren’t like yours. We grew up together, we have the same personalities, and like the same things.”

She wasn’t worried at all about her girls being swayed. Her crew had attitudes just like hers.
