The Billionaire's True Heiress: From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 331

“Maybe Iieana thinks that, since I managed to marry into the Churchill family, her daughter shouldn’t have to settle for anything less than I did.”

Ophelia had always known that Iieana was jealous of her.

“You fell for Caleb all on your own, remember?” her mom sighed over the phone. “It’s not like we set it all up. Back then, we were so worried about you marrying into such a big family. Being the eldest daughter-in-law in a place like that is no easy job.”

“At that time, your father’s position at work wasn’t anything impressive, either.”

“Luckily, Padgett turned out to be a reasonable man. The rest of the in-laws were easy enough to get along with, too.”

“And you were amazing. You married Caleb and gave him twins right away. That was when we really relaxed.”

“There was a time when your dad couldn’t sleep at night. He’d say he had to keep moving up in the world, because if his daughter ran into trouble at her in-laws’, he didn’t want anyone thinking she had nobody to rely on.”

There was no way Iieana could have guessed that after Ophelia got married, her dad’s career would take off. It wasn’t just the perks of marrying well. Most of it came from his own hard work.

“Mom, thank you. Thank Dad, too. I was so stubborn about Caleb, but you both supported me anyway.”

And looking back, it was worth it. Caleb truly was the right man to bet on.

But Dane was different.

With Dane, you could tell just by looking. He was coldhearted, no question about it.

Caleb might act tough, but he was all warmth underneath. Dane, on the other hand, would do anything for the girl he loved, but if he wasn’t interested in you, you could beg on your knees and he still wouldn’t care.

Irma had basically thrown herself at him today, and he hadn’t spared her a single glance.

“Just live your own life, sweetheart. Don’t worry about Irma,” Ophelia’s mom reminded her.
