Fake Heiress Reborn Drops Masks Finds Family (Noelle and Sebastian) novel Chapter 280

Chapter 280 Friends

“I wouldn’t mind one bit.”

Noelle tilted her head and looked over at Sebastian. “Honey, would you ever mind?”

Sebastian didn’t even glance up as he dressed her wound. “I’d love you no matter what you look like.”

Noelle beamed. She turned to Lucas, practically glowing with pride. “You hear that? That’s what actual love sounds like.

“Of course, someone like you wouldn’t get it. You’ve never even had a girlfriend.”

Lucas went stiff. His whole face froze.

He stared at the windshield. His jaw clenched. A few seconds passed in dead silence.

“..Thanks.”

Noelle pulled her hand back as Sebastian finished and flexed her fingers lightly. “Don’t thank me. Just make sure you cover the medical bill.”

Lucas blinked. Then his mouth fell open. “Noey! I was feeling touched!”

“And what’s that worth? Emotion doesn’t pay bills. Money does.”

“Fine, fine, here. You’re hopeless.”

Lucas grabbed his phone and sent the transfer without another word.

A soft ding echoed through the car.

“You have received 500 thousand through PayPal.”

Noelle heard the alert and smiled with satisfaction. She looked toward the car window. Neon signs streaked past in a blur. Roman’s words from the party played over again in her mind, and her gaze grew colder.

There was no way Viola was actually the Guzmans‘ missing daughter. It was absurd.

But for a family like the Guzmans to take someone in like that, there had to be DNA testing involved. So what did Viola pull to get them to accept her?

Noelle’s brows pinched together. No matter how she ran it through her head, it didn’t add up.

She picked up her phone and typed out a message to Willa.

“Serena, I need your help digging into something.”

Elsewhere.

Roman stepped into his house and immediately ordered a full background check on Viola.

“Dad, you really think the Guzmans‘ daughter is fake?” Ignatius looked startled.

“I’m nearly certain.”

Roman sat in the study’s heavy oak chair, his expression dark. His fingers struck the desk with measured pressure. “That kid from the Steeles was far too confident, and Noelle didn’t say a word to deny it. If Viola’s really the Kains‘ daughter, then she cannot be the Guzmans‘ missing daughter. The logic falls apart completely.”

Ignatius looked at his wife Renee. Their eyes met, and both of them looked rattled.

“But… the Guzmans ran a DNA test. Angus supervised it himself. That shouldn’t be wrong.”

“Which is what makes this terrifying,” Roman said. His eyes lit up with a sharp glint. “If even the DNA results can be faked, then someone inside the Guzmans already has serious reach. Either they’ve got someone working deep on the inside, or there’s collusion happening under the radar.”

If a traitor had embedded themselves in the Guzman household, it was more than dangerous. It was catastrophic.

“Enough guessing. Ignatius, take a team you trust and head to Riverdale. Look into this from the ground up. If Viola really is the Kains‘ daughter, then she is absolutely not who she claims to be.”

“Yes, Father!”

Ignatius answered without hesitation.

Roman looked over to Renee, his voice softening. “I’ll need him gone for a while. Thanks for holding the house down while he’s gone.”

“Roman, please. Of course I’ll manage. What matters is the family’s stability.”

Renee gave a respectful nod. She’d always held Roman in high regard. Even though she came from modest roots, Roman had never judged her for it. Not even after over a decade of marriage without children. He still treated her like his own daughter.

Men like Roman were rare.

Roman waved his hand and motioned for them to leave.

He remained seated in the study, leaning into the chair with his eyes darkening further.

If Viola wasn’t the real daughter…
