The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 671

"So this is Mr. Clark's son, Marlin, the one you've been praising so highly." Latham froze, genuinely startled. He instinctively looked over at Octavia. "How did Mr. Clark's son get so heavy?"

Octavia glanced at the photograph and her jaw dropped. "He wasn't this big when I saw him."

"Could Shirley have mistaken him for someone else?"

"Whether I got the wrong guy or not is something Octavia should be asking Mrs. Clark." Shirley pouted. She had always been this insolent since childhood. With her family constantly sheltering her, everyone else had just grown used to it.

Although Octavia was displeased, there was absolutely nothing she could do about Shirley right now. She could only offer an awkward smile. "If this really is Mr. Clark's son, perhaps he put on some weight while studying abroad these past two years. That is unavoidable, after all. I heard he eats a lot of high calorie foods, which makes it easy to gain weight, unlike our family's healthy diet. Gaining weight is no big deal. First of all, a man doesn't need to focus too much on his looks. Secondly, if he's heavy, he can always just diet."

"Diet?" Patti sneered. "Octavia is right. You can always lose weight. But if Latham looked like that back in the day, I wonder if you would have still agreed to marry him."

Octavia choked on her words. Thinking about how handsome Latham was, if he had looked anything like Mr. Clark's son, she honestly might not have been able to stomach it.

"It's all thanks to our mother's good genes that her two sons turned out so well. Otherwise, I never would have married Pearce," Patti continued. "I'm sure you thought Latham was quite handsome too, didn't you?"

"Latham's charm goes far beyond his looks," Octavia replied, forced into a corner by Patti's aggressive probing.

Patti's tone was incredibly pointed. "Of course it does. Latham also has money. Since marrying him, you have never had to worry about a single cent."
