The Billionaire's True Heiress: From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 294

The moment her son called, he didn’t even bother with hello. “Mom, what are you doing? Why would you pay people to attack Claire online?”

Octavia let out a huff. “How am I attacking her? I’m just telling the truth.”

She’d already been scolded by her husband, so her tone with Lance was sharp and defensive.

Lance sounded almost stunned that his mother could be so brazen. “You call that the truth? Only you know if you’re just lashing out. Claire hasn’t done anything to provoke you. The whole thing with Cindy isn’t even settled yet. Aren’t you worried Claire might turn around and go after Cindy for revenge?”

He really did think Claire was capable of that. At this point, she didn’t seem to care about family at all. Sometimes, he regretted the choices he made back then.

“Her signing up for the winter camp was her way of provoking us,” Octavia shot back. “Cindy cries herself to sleep every night. Are you telling me Claire has zero responsibility? If she hadn’t put so much pressure on Cindy, your sister could’ve focused on her studies, pushed through, and maybe gotten into a top university. But now, with all this stress, Cindy’s depressed. Who knows if she’ll even get into college in six months? Isn’t Cindy’s future important? Claire stole that from her. She stole Cindy’s life.”

Octavia sounded so certain, so righteous, but if anyone had no right to be this self-assured, it was her.
