Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 714

"Grandma, I've thought about it. Even though it's going to be difficult, I am a Whelan. I'll find a way to make it work. Don't worry, I'm sure Mr. Maddox is recovering well. The moment he's discharged, I'll get to the bottom of this."

Hearing Jane's promise, the Second Branch breathed a massive sigh of relief.

But Maggie was always greedy for more.

She immediately put on a sickly-sweet smile. "Jane, my wonderful niece, don't just ask for the reason. You need to convince Aurelis to resume the partnership! That's the only way to save our family."

Lauren shot Maggie a look of pure disgust, sickened by how quickly her sister-in-law's attitude had flipped.

Jane offered a faint, strained smile. "Don't worry, Aunt Maggie. I will."

Old Mrs. Whelan nodded approvingly. "Our Jane is the most sensible one here. You have more capability than anyone else in this room!"

Being praised in front of everyone made the Third Branch lift their chins with immense pride.

...

The Sinclair family residence.

Dylan walked through the grand doors wearing a bright food delivery uniform.

The servants nearly didn't recognize him.

"Master Dylan..." they murmured in shock.

He completely ignored them and headed straight to find Isabella.

Isabella was in her room making a phone call when her door was suddenly kicked open.

She jumped in terror, dropping her phone onto the carpet.

"Dylan! Why didn't you knock?"

Dylan kicked the door shut behind him and stalked toward her. "Are we still acting?"

Isabella faltered for a second. "Of course I do! What's wrong with you? I've stayed by your side for all these years, and you still doubt my feelings? Yet you blindly trust a woman you just met? You're breaking my heart, Dylan."

"Since you like me so much and have always wanted to marry me and be my woman, I'll fulfill your wish today."

"W-what do you mean?" A surge of unease gripped her chest.

"I'm saying I'm giving you what you want. I'm willing to be with you. I'm willing to marry you. Shouldn't you be thrilled? Why do you look so panicked?"

Isabella forced a stiff, awkward smile. "N-no, I'm not. Dylan, if you're really willing to marry me, I'm overjoyed. I was just... caught off guard!" She stepped forward and wrapped her arms around his waist, burying her face against his chest.

"Good. Then let's make it official right now. Become my woman."

She froze. "What do you mean by that?"

"We're adults. Don't play dumb. You've spent years finding excuses to throw yourself at me. I'm finally giving you the chance." Dylan gripped her chin, forcing her to look up at him.
