The Billionaire's True Heiress: From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 713

Latham's face contorted in absolute humiliation.

He felt like a monumental fool.

Wasn't Octavia's mess enough?

Now even his mistress had betrayed him, sneaking around with another man right under his nose.

If the other guy had been a total loser, Latham wouldn't have felt so deeply insulted.

But the painful reality was that Wheeler was young, sharp, and highly capable.

"If you want to sue her, I have no objections." Latham changed his tune almost instantly.

He couldn't stomach the thought that Fallon never loved him and had only crawled back into his bed to destroy his life.

But the cold, hard facts were staring him right in the face. He had no choice but to believe it.

"Latham, my schedule is packed, so I won't waste any more of your time."

Claire figured that unless Latham was an absolute idiot, he wouldn't dream of tipping Fallon off now.

Sure enough, after parting ways with Claire, Latham gripped his phone tightly but never made the call to warn her.

Actually, he did make one call—to the police.

Wheeler had committed severe corporate espionage. How could Latham not report him and have him locked up?

Since Claire and Latham had contacted the authorities around the same time, the police moved swiftly.

Fallon and Wheeler were arrested simultaneously.

They were even together when the cops kicked the door down. Wheeler had been standing in Fallon's kitchen, cooking her dinner.

Fallon had planned to go on vacation right after their meal—which was just a thin veil for fleeing the city.

Unfortunately for them, the handcuffs clamped down before they could pack their bags.

"Why are you arresting me?" Fallon demanded, assuming her sabotage of the James Group had been exposed.

But the charge the officers read out was for the kidnapping and swapping of an infant eighteen years ago.

"That was eighteen years ago!" Fallon protested fiercely.

Legally, the statute of limitations should have expired long ago.

She had practically raised Cindy and knew the girl's temperament inside and out.
