The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 692

Even Mary could have held the James family accountable for the mess.

Of course, the first person to face the consequences would be Latham's shady mistress.

Mary saw right through the entire situation.

She usually preferred to turn a blind eye and stay out of it.

But if her eldest son and his wife dared to use the debt of raising Claire as a weapon, she had no problem exposing their absurd hypocrisy.

Sure enough, the couple snapped their mouths shut.

No matter whose fault the past was, it had absolutely nothing to do with Claire.

"Mother, we know we were wrong. We weren't trying to emotionally blackmail Claire; we just want her to do her best."

"Please, hurry into the operating room."

Seeing that his mother was wasting precious time, Latham quickly urged her on.

Mary shot him a look but ultimately stayed quiet.

Cindy had been keeping her mouth shut for a while now.

When she realized Claire was actually the only one who could save her brother, a crushing sense of worthlessness washed over her.

She even found herself hating Octavia.

If Octavia hadn't just watched her get swapped out, would she have been the one raised in the James family?

Would she have been the one learning medicine directly from Mary?

If she had been as brilliant as Claire, she wouldn't have been terrified of leaving when Latham discovered she wasn't his biological daughter.

Because she would have possessed the skills to stand on her own two feet.

Her knowledge and worldview would have been entirely different.

Wouldn't that have been infinitely better than growing up in some backwater town?

The burning resentment inside Cindy had nowhere to go.

One second she hated Fallon, the next she hated Octavia, and she despised Latham most of all.

If Fallon hadn't had an affair, she wouldn't have been born to another man.
