The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 565

“Mom, Lance was the one who asked if I wanted to come.”

Cindy just wanted to have a little fun with Lance, but she couldn’t wrap her head around why her mom was reacting like this.

“I swear I won’t mess with his work,” she promised, hoping Octavia would back off.

Octavia still wasn’t satisfied. “How about I take you somewhere instead? Let Lance focus on his job for once.”

“Where did you have in mind?”

Octavia started listing a bunch of places in Southeast Asia. “Vacations are always better at the beach. You’ve never even seen the ocean, have you? Let me take you. We’ll go wherever you want.”

She figured if she used this chance to spend real time with her daughter, maybe she could get Cindy away from Fallon for a while. That felt important right now.

“Lance already planned everything out with me. York’s coming too.” Cindy thought of Fallon and suddenly found it hard to look her mom in the eye.

She almost expected her mom to force her into making some big, uncomfortable choice.

“York too?” Octavia’s tone changed a little after hearing that.

Her daughter was officially York’s fiancée now, but she knew Cindy wasn’t as clever or beautiful as Claire. If Cindy wanted to truly win York over, she’d have to work for it—really get close to him.

Octavia didn’t want Cindy ending up stuck with a man who lost interest, especially if York turned out to be like Latham, running around behind his wife’s back. She’d suffered enough herself and didn’t want her daughter to go through the same thing.

“Yeah, York’s going with us. Lance was the one who invited him.”

Octavia paused, thinking. Maybe her son was hoping to help Cindy and York grow closer while checking out this new business project.

If York was coming along anyway, there was no reason for her to interfere.

Honestly, with Cindy gone, Octavia could finally take her time dealing with Fallon.
