Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 772

Christopher pointed a trembling finger at Sean, his voice shaking with pure hatred.

He looked as though he despised him entirely.

Sean completely ignored the outburst. Elena crossed her arms.

"Mr. Maddox, it seems you know appallingly little about your own son. You're making a fool of yourself."

"What do you mean by that? Explain yourself!"

"Let me spell it out for you," Elena said coolly. "Lucas kidnapped me and tried to have me killed. Sean came to my rescue, and in return, Lucas beat him within an inch of his life, shattering his bones and leaving him paralyzed. I pulled Sean back from the brink of death. I performed the surgeries that allowed him to stand here today."

She took a step closer, her gaze turning somber.

"Afterward, I was simply too busy to deal with Lucas myself, so Sean handled it. Lucas is lying in that hospital bed because Sean was exacting revenge—not just for himself, but for me. Do you understand the situation now?"

She let the words sink in before delivering the final blow.

"Do you honestly think I would operate on the man who tried to murder me? Am I out of my mind? Calling you a fool is an understatement, Mr. Maddox. You came begging without even knowing the facts, humiliating yourself in the process."

Christopher stood frozen, unable to process the shock. Sean and Elena were working together.

Lucas had kidnapped Elena!

"Oh god, what are we going to do? My poor baby!" she sobbed. "Is he going to be trapped in this bed forever?" Hearing that the only person capable of curing him was Elena, the last spark of life faded from Lucas's eyes. Meanwhile, at the Whelan family home.

"Tomorrow, there's a highly exclusive socialite gathering. All the elite families in Cresden City will be there, but our family was only given one invitation," Old Mrs. Whelan announced, scanning the room. Maggie immediately chimed in.

"Then you should let Cathy go." "Cathy? Her own marriage is a complete disaster. She needs to sort her own life out first," Lauren argued, pushing for her own daughter. "Jane has the time, and she's still single. It's the perfect opportunity for her."

"Lauren, that's enough! Every time there's a benefit, it always goes to your Jane. Can't you let Cathy have a chance for once?"

Before the argument could escalate, Old Mrs. Whelan raised a hand.

"Quiet. The Whelan family isn't what it used to be. Aurelis Holdings dropped us, so we have to seize every opportunity we can get. Jane has always been poised and well-educated. Jane will attend!"
