Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 62

“Alright then. Just be careful. Corporate politics are different from delivery runs. Watch your back,” Chris advised.

Beside them, Jon tugged secretly on Elena’s sleeve.

“Sis,” he whispered, “You pulled some strings for Claire, didn’t you?”

Elena raised an eyebrow. “Excuse me?”

“Don’t look at me like that. It’s LUMEN Studio. People kill to get in there. Claire doesn’t have the degree. Even for an assistant role, it’s a long shot. So, it was you, right?”

Jon pursed his lips, convinced his sister was more than she appeared.

The interaction didn’t escape Dylan, who watched from his wheelchair. He knew LUMEN Studio.

“Regardless of the truth, the optics are bad. We should lay low...” Mr. Holt insisted.

Melissa finally snapped.
