The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1250

Zara's mother had never been someone to mess with.

She had only tolerated Zoe's endless antics out of respect for Zachary.

She had tried to maintain family harmony, but the stepmother's side clearly had zero interest in getting along.

This was while the old man was still alive. If he were on his deathbed, wouldn't that family swoop in to snatch the inheritance?

"Today is our Zara's special day. Who could possibly steal her thunder?"

"Do you honestly think Zara is somehow inferior to Zoe?"

Zara's father always knew exactly what to say.

How could Ms. Zeller ever think her daughter was lesser than Zoe?

Her stunning face was the best proof of all!

The other guests were already whispering, wondering what Zoe and Preston were doing there. Were they trying to crash the party?

The news of Zara and Preston's near-engagement was common knowledge among their friends and family.

With things turning out this way, everyone was gossiping that Preston had a wandering eye and fell for the Zeller family's step-heiress, which was why Reid was offered as compensation to the true heiress, Zara.

"They just showed up like this? Did their parents not say anything?"

"Who knows what the parents are thinking. That old lady from the Zeller family is a piece of work. She's probably the one pulling the strings behind the scenes."

"And the Daltons aren't saying a word either."

Why wouldn't the Daltons say anything?

Grant was already mortified and wanted to beat his son to a pulp.

"Arthur, that brat Preston is completely out of line tonight."

"I'm going to go get him right now!"

Grant and Arthur were biological brothers. Because the older brother didn't work in the business and only held shares, the two had a fantastic relationship with zero conflict.

This led Grant to constantly feel like he was taking advantage, making him feel inherently inferior when dealing with his older brother's family.

He had absolute respect for his sibling.

But who could have predicted Preston would act like such an idiot?

Preston's mother, however, didn't think it was a big deal.

Her son wasn't actually dating Zoe; they had simply arrived at the engagement party together. What was the problem?
