The Billionaire's True Heiress: From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 664

She had never even considered it. She believed Latham still had a fighting chance. As long as they weathered this storm together, she was certain he would forgive her.

Then she would remain the high and mighty Mrs. James.

"Do you really think Latham can pull through this?" Darius laughed at her naivety.

"Octavia, trust me. Even if Latham luckily survives this disaster, he will never treat you well again."

"You get a divorce, and I will divorce my wife. Then we can be together."

"Let me think about it," Octavia replied, avoiding a direct answer.

Darius frowned. "Octavia, I know you still have feelings for him, but you need to think about yourself."

"I am doing this for your own good. Think carefully. If you stay with him and the James family goes bankrupt, all your joint assets will be seized to pay off the debts. You will be left with absolutely nothing."

"But you still have your children. Lance isn't married yet, and Cindy isn't even a true member of the James family. Both of us owe her."

"We need to look out for her."

"Cindy hasn't even started college yet. Her future expenses will be a massive burden."

Octavia felt deeply uncomfortable hearing this.

Technically speaking, Cindy wasn't just her child.

Darius should also be preparing a trust fund for their daughter's future wedding gift.

Shouldn't he, as her biological father, be responsible for her college tuition?

Before she could voice her objections, Darius spoke again. "I've also saved up some money for Cindy. But Octavia, you know my job. At the end of the day, I don't make that much."

"It is not easy to hide a secret stash of money without my wife finding out."

Hearing his complaints, Octavia immediately felt a wave of sympathy for him.

Darius truly didn't have it easy. Plus, he treated her so well. Octavia decided not to hold it against him.

Deep down, she simply couldn't bear to let go of her current lavish lifestyle.
