The Billionaire's True Heiress: From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 540

"I am definitely sending her to prison."

Octavia flung open the office door and marched out, not expecting to nearly smack into Wheeler on the other side.

"Octavia." Wheeler clearly hadn’t expected to see her barge out like that. He stepped aside, holding a plate of cut fruit in both hands—it was pretty obvious who he’d prepped it for.

"Move." Octavia’s eyes narrowed, irritation flaring up again just at the sight of him.

She couldn’t stand Wheeler lately. He’d been glued to Latham for years. Who knew how many times he’d seen Fallon and Latham together? And he’d never said a word. Not one hint, not even a slip—like he’d been paid off long ago.

Octavia stormed past him into the hallway. The second she was outside, her heartbeat started to steady and the adrenaline faded. She clutched her bag tighter, making sure the photos inside were still there. They were damning, and right now she had no clue who’d mailed them to Latham.

Fallon. Octavia was almost certain it was her. Fallon was so calculating, playing nice and showing up to help take care of Cindy. That had to be on purpose, right? Trying to bond with Cindy, just to throw it in Octavia’s face?

Octavia’s jaw clenched. She stabbed her finger at her phone, dialing fast. The line barely rang before it connected. She didn’t bother with small talk. "I was in Latham’s office today. I saw the pictures of us."

There was a pause, then she heard the intake of breath. The man on the other end tensed up. "What happened?"

"I don’t know who sent them, but I have a really bad feeling about this."

"Our secret’s about to come out."

"What am I supposed to do?"

"Calm down." He was definitely nervous, but tried to sound reassuring. "Look, if worst comes to worst, just get a divorce."
