The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 714

His reasoning was fiercely simple: he was seeking justice. He couldn't stand watching Latham use his wealth to bully the teacher he revered.

She had saved him when he had nothing, and he wanted to exact revenge on her behalf.

Consequently, Fallon managed to avoid any charges relating to the corporate leak.

Furthermore, the moment she arrived at the precinct, she used her phone call to reach out to Cindy, desperately pleading for forgiveness.

Hearing Fallon sobbing hysterically on the other end, Cindy actually agreed to sign a Affidavit of Non-prosecution.

The naive fool even tracked down Claire to discuss it.

"Claire, I know you resent being swapped, but you honestly had a pretty good life with the James family."

"Since you actually benefited from living with them, could you just drop the lawsuit? Let my godmother off the hook for swapping us?"

Claire was genuinely astounded by Cindy's sheer stupidity.

"Why would I ever drop it?" Claire glared at her. "Are you out of your mind? Do you even listen to the garbage coming out of your mouth?"

"Or is it because you also benefited from the swap, so you'd rather pretend none of it happened?"

Claire's words were ruthless and direct.

Cindy looked staggered. "How did I benefit? You know exactly how awful my life was out in the country."

"While you were living like a pampered princess in the James household, what was I doing? I had to cook my own meals every single day..."

Cindy launched into a dramatic litany of her past miseries.

But Claire felt zero pity for her. "That's because you have a theatrical personality. You're obsessed with attention and completely oblivious."

"Grandma explicitly asked Patti to cook for you, but you stubbornly insisted on doing it yourself."

"Did you think you were proving how independent you were?"

"No. To the rest of us, you just looked like a colossal idiot."

"Cindy, look me in the eye and honestly tell me your life in the country was a nightmare."
