The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 560

She always worried that none of them had any sense. If things kept going like this, she’d have no choice but to get her dad involved and let him deal with Latham directly.

“Just keep your mom in check. That’s all I’m asking.”

After hanging up on Mabel, Lance dialed Octavia right away.

“What’s up, son?” Octavia answered, a little surprised. She still didn’t know what had happened. Lance had been ignoring her for a couple days, clearly mad, which she understood. Now that he was calling first, she figured maybe he finally realized she meant well.

“Mom, have you been bothering Mabel these past couple days?” Lance didn’t have the energy for small talk.

Octavia immediately bristled. Bothering? Was that really how her own son talked to her?

“I just wanted her to understand that you and Claire will never work out. You’re willing to give Mabel a shot, right? If our families could come together, wouldn’t that be great for everyone?” Octavia didn’t think she’d done anything wrong. She was just desperate. She never knew when that person behind the scenes might send those photos to Latham again. She just couldn’t relax until her son’s situation settled down.

“You’re only making things hard for Mabel. Is it really worth it?” Lance honestly couldn’t wrap his head around his mom’s thinking.

Octavia frowned. “She complained about me to you? I just told her to get to know you. How is that causing trouble?”

To her, Lance was a catch. If Mabel could be with him, she was the lucky one. Now Mabel was acting like her son wasn’t good enough? Of course Octavia wasn’t happy.

“Just let it be, Mom. If she wants nothing to do with me, then drop it.”

He softened his voice, trying again. “Mabel’s family isn’t some small operation. If you make them mad, they could make trouble for Dad at work. The whole company could pay for it.”
