Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 699

"Elena, you are naturally rebellious! If a family doesn't plan for its own future, how are we supposed to survive in this world?"

Seeing that another argument was about to break out, Amanda stepped in and gently pulled Elena back. "Elena, let it go. There's no point in arguing with them."

"Oh, is everyone here? Are we having a family meeting? Why didn't anyone tell me?" Just then, Jane walked in.

Lauren rushed over and grabbed her daughter's arm. "Jane, you missed it! You have no idea how humiliated our family just was. The Sinclairs came and called off the engagement!"

Jane looked surprised for a moment, but quickly masked her expression.

"I see. Well, it's just a canceled engagement, it's not the end of the world. We survived perfectly fine before we ever got involved with the Sinclairs. Don't be so upset, it's bad for your health. Your well-being is the most important thing."

Jane stepped forward to comfort the matriarch.

The matriarch affectionately held her hand. "Jane, you are the only sensible one in this family, always knowing how to comfort an old woman like me. Now that the marriage with the Sinclairs has fallen through, the future of the Whelan family rests entirely on your shoulders. You must win Sean's heart! If you can marry Sean, our entire family will rise to the top."

Jane looked bashful. "You're getting ahead of yourself."

At that moment, the faces of Gavin's family were filled with undeniable smugness.

The entire family would now have to depend on their Jane!

Elena merely shot them a disdainful glance. What a delusion.

Relying on Sean? Sean had absolutely zero interest in Jane.

Jane was seriously overestimating herself.

A little while later, Elena and her parents left the main estate.

They drove back to Evergold Heights together.

On the way, Daniel asked worriedly, "Elena, what exactly happened? Does Dylan know about this?"

Dylan looked surprised for a moment, but quickly connected the dots.

"It doesn't matter. Calling off the engagement is his decision, but whether or not I stay with Elena is mine. We don't need to pay attention to him, unless, of course, you two no longer approve of me," Dylan replied.

Daniel quickly reassured him, "How could we not approve of you? In our hearts, you are practically our own son. Dylan, I don't know what is going on with your family, but if you still want to be with Elena, we won't stand in your way. We would be more than happy to support you."

"Thank you, Mr. Whelan. Let's head inside!"

With that, the group walked into the house.

Once they were back inside, Dylan asked to speak with Elena privately in her room.

"Elena, I have a pretty good idea of what happened with the engagement. It was my father's decision, an attempt to force my hand. Elena, if I lose my position as CEO of the Sinclair Group, would that bother you?"

"Dylan, if I cared about that, I wouldn't have saved you back in that rural town in the north. I want to be with you because you're Dylan, not because of your title. Don't you know that?"
