Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 30

Mrs. Holt glared at him. "Oh, save it! You're my son; do you think I don't know what you're like? A loose woman like Emily... sure enough, coming from the countryside, she has no class. Sleeping with a man on the first date—she's clearly damaged goods."

"She really can't compare to Elena. That child Elena actually has some backbone. I quite liked her. It's a pity she's the fake daughter; otherwise, she would have made a decent daughter-in-law."

Max hadn't expected his mother to see through everything.

"It's all because you guys were too hasty back then, insisting on setting the engagement with the Sterling family. Who knew there would be a switch between the real and fake daughters, leaving us with a useless idiot like Emily!"

Mrs. Holt scoffed. "I only did it for the sake of Aurelis Holdings Group. Our company had always been tied to the Sterling Group, and the Sterlings built their fortune relying on Aurelis. If our family could marry into the Sterling family, that would naturally be best. Who knew the heavens would be unpredictable? Aurelis Holdings suddenly pulled their capital and turned hostile! Leaving our Holt family in this awkward position."

Max was puzzled. "Then why didn't you just cancel the engagement at the table today?"

"We can't cancel it outright. Let's wait and see. What if Aurelis Holdings Group ties up with the Sterling Group again?" A shrewd light flashed in Mrs. Holt's eyes.

"Right, Mom, you're brilliant!" Max said ingratiatingly.

Mrs. Holt slapped him on the arm. "Stop drinking and messing around outside, stop causing trouble, and focus your mind on the company. Then I wouldn't have to worry so much!"

...

Seraphis Private Clinic.

Elena opened the takeout containers and personally fed Dylan.

Watching the girl feed him spoonful by spoonful, worried he might choke, then getting up to pour water, busy and attentive...

A strange feeling began to grow in his heart.

After a long while, he calmed down.

He asked calmly, "Can it be cured?"

"Yes! In my hands, I haven't met a poison I can't neutralize. Give me some time to develop the antidote!"

"Thank you!" Dylan looked at Elena again.

He felt that the girl before him was his salvation.

What had he done to deserve meeting such a wonderful girl?

If the day came when he recovered, he would protect her with his life.
