The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1249

"Zara, are we late?"

Speak of the devil!

Zoe and Preston had predictably arrived together.

Zara was wearing a pink gown today, featuring red trim around the neckline and a flared skirt that gave off a distinct princess vibe.

Yet Zoe had audaciously worn pink as well. She was in a pink vintage dress, accessorized with a string of pearls around her neck and her hair elegantly pinned up.

It looked like a blatant attempt to upstage the bride.

Preston wore a tailored suit, clearly coordinating with Zoe. Standing side by side, they looked like a picture-perfect couple.

Zara's expression darkened. She hadn't expected Zoe to pull a stunt at her engagement party.

If she had known, she would have posted a sign saying Zoe and dogs were strictly prohibited!

Though that honestly felt like an insult to dogs.

Ms. Zeller's face was equally grim as she shot a glaring look at Zoe's mother.

Zoe's mother was also entirely bewildered by her daughter's behavior at this point.

It was Zara's engagement—why on earth did she have to stir up trouble?

She managed to steal Preston, so why wasn't she the one getting engaged to him?

Yet, infuriatingly, her daughter didn't even actually like Preston.

How was the Zeller family supposed to view her now?

Zoe's father shot his wife a venomous glare. "Look at the fine daughter you raised!"

They had their own pride to maintain. They were already taking advantage of the Zeller family's wealth, even if they secretly claimed Zachary had forcibly claimed his mother.

But the truth was, Zachary had initially just stepped up to care for his fallen comrade's wife and child.

Changing their surname to Zeller had actually been an act of turning their backs on their roots.

To better integrate into the Zeller household, his mother had insisted on changing the children's last names.

In reality, Zachary had never intended for him to change his surname in the first place.

Zoe's mother argued back defensively. "How is this my doing?"

"Didn't your mother teach her this?"

Her daughter spent the most time with her mother-in-law. The daughter-in-law was well aware of exactly what kind of manipulative tactics the older woman had used to secure her position.
