Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 775

Jane swayed on her feet, nearly collapsing to the floor.

She clenched her fists, biting her lip.

"Miss Sinclair, I know your family is wealthy and powerful. I told you it was an accident. Since you have so much money, why are you making this so difficult for me? One dress is nothing to you!"

"Oh, so we're playing the victim card now? Yes, I have plenty of dresses like this, but that doesn't give you the right to guilt-trip me. Just because I have money doesn't mean I don't deserve to be compensated for my ruined property! Right, everyone?"

The crowd knew exactly where the power lay, and they all sided with Evelyn.

"Exactly! If you make a mistake, you face the consequences. Don't try to play the victim here!"

"Look at her, she's not exactly destitute. If she were some poor waitress, maybe we'd let it slide."

"Even if she were poor, she shouldn't try to guilt-trip anyone! Forgiveness is a favor, not an obligation."

"You can really tell she's from a low-class background. It's just a multi-million dollar dress, and she's panicking like it's the end of the world."

The whispers grew louder and more ruthless.

Jane couldn't bear the humiliation a second longer. Covering her mouth, she sobbed and ran out of the banquet hall.

Standing off to the side, Bianca and Elena had watched the whole thing with great interest.

"Well, I didn't even have to summarize that one for you. How was the live show?" Bianca asked.

"How do you feel about Sean? Do you like him?"

Elena suddenly thought of how lonely Sean always seemed. Maybe he needed someone who actually cared about him.

"Like him? Haha! A guy as amazing as Sean, how could anyone not like him? But it's not love. As a marriage prospect, sure, I'd marry him. But if you're asking if I'm deeply in love with him, the answer is no. I'm weird like that. I don't really want romance. I've met a lot of men, but my first thought is always how they can benefit me or advance my career. I never wonder if I'll fall in love with them."

Bianca laughed.

Elena looked at her, suddenly admiring her pragmatic outlook.

Honestly, living like that wasn't such a bad way to go.
