Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 789

Realizing no one was coming to her rescue, she slowly pushed herself up and walked away.

As Max and Evelyn's sports car roared past her, a sudden, desperate idea flashed through her mind.

The very next day.

Jane managed to arrange a meeting with Evelyn at a high-end café.

Evelyn strolled in holding a limited-edition designer handbag that Jane could never afford in three lifetimes.

Even though Evelyn was from the First Branch and technically out of favor within the Sinclair family, her sheer wealth and status dwarfed Jane's existence.

"Well? Did you get the money?" Evelyn asked, a smirk playing on her lips.

Jane nervously rubbed her fingers together under the table.

She hadn't raised a dime. She didn't have it.

Even if Lauren and Gavin had the assets, they would never sell their real estate or shares; everything they hoarded was for Nate's overseas tuition.

They were never going to bail her out.

"I'm sorry, Miss Sinclair. I haven't gotten the money yet."

Evelyn's expression instantly soured into contempt. "If you don't have the money, why did you waste my time? Pathetic."

She grabbed her bag, preparing to leave.

"Wait! I'm here today because I want to make a trade."

Evelyn paused, raising an eyebrow. "A trade? What kind of trade?"

Relieved, Jane leaned in.

"Okay, here's the truth. Max Holt and Elena actually used to be engaged. And the worst part is, Max is still in love with her. Miss Sinclair, is it possible that Max is only dating you because he's trying to get closer to Elena?"

"You're talking nonsense!" Evelyn snapped. "Max was engaged to a girl from the Sterling family named Emily. I heard she disappeared. And they got a divorce ages ago, so they don't even talk anymore. Don't sit here and spread rumors!"

"It's not a rumor, Miss Sinclair. You clearly don't know the whole story. Emily and Elena were switched at birth. Elena was only brought back to the Whelan family eighteen years later. So the person originally engaged to Max was Elena! Once the families swapped the girls back, the engagement was transferred to Emily.

"But right after Max and Emily got married, they divorced. It even made the news. They never released the real reason, but I asked Emily's brothers, and they told me the truth. Max divorced Emily because he's obsessed with Elena. Elena deliberately seduced him, wrecked his marriage, and then quickly moved on to enchant Dylan Sinclair so she could secure a more powerful backer! Once she had Dylan, she dumped Max. But Max has never given up on her.

"When Elena was in college, Max used to wait for her at the campus gates! Their relationship is incredibly shady. I guarantee you, the only reason Max is cozying up to you is because it gives him an excuse to be in Elena's orbit. You have to be careful, Miss Sinclair!"

Evelyn was stunned into silence, the sheer detail of the story making it dangerously believable.
