Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 713

Edward chimed in eagerly. "Exactly, Mom! Sean's people are incredibly tight-lipped. We offered them bribes, and they still wouldn't talk. We have to rely on Jane now."

Old Mrs. Whelan finally remembered Jane. She had been so furious she had completely forgotten about her.

"Gavin, call Jane immediately. Tell her to come home. Say I need to see her."

"Right away, Mom."

Gavin made the call, and an hour later, Jane arrived at the residence.

"Grandma, another family meeting? What's going on lately?" Jane asked as she walked in.

Maggie immediately plastered on a flattering smile. "Jane, sweetie, here's the situation. Aurelis Holdings Group terminated their contract with your Uncle Edward's electronics factory. Did you know about this?"

Jane was taken aback. "I hadn't heard anything about that. Why would they terminate the partnership?"

Cathy looked at her suspiciously. "Aren't you Sean's personal secretary? No one should be closer to him than you. How could you not know?"

A flush of embarrassment crept up Jane's neck. The truth was, she wasn't actually that close to Sean.

Edward waved a hand dismissively. "Alright, let's not dwell on the details. Jane, the contract has definitely been terminated. Can you help us out here? Ask Mr. Maddox what the reason is and put in a good word for us. If we did something wrong, we can fix it!"

Jane was genuinely confused. How could a massive decision like this be made without her getting any notification?

Did Mr. Maddox not trust her anymore?

Seeing Jane stay silent for so long, Old Mrs. Whelan finally lost her patience. "Jane, are you going to help us or not? Give us a straight answer."

"Grandma, to be completely honest, Mr. Maddox has been severely ill lately. He's been in the hospital for days. Even I've barely seen him. This might be really difficult."

Terrified by the matriarch's outburst, everyone snapped their mouths shut.

Finally, Old Mrs. Whelan turned her piercing gaze to Jane.

She asked, forcing herself to be patient, "Jane, give me a definitive answer. Can you fix this or not?"

Jane quickly weighed her options. If she refused now, she would completely lose credibility in her grandmother's eyes. She'd be written off entirely.

When the old lady eventually passed away, she wouldn't see a single dime of the inheritance.

Plus, the perfect, capable image she had carefully cultivated in the family would crumble, and they would all mock her.

She would never be able to hold her head high in this family again.
