The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1341

Larkin's wife wasn't pulling any punches.

Olga's expression visibly soured.

But she knew the Byron family was still on the brink of collapse.

If Larkin and his wife pulled their investments now, the Byrons would never recover.

The problem was that Larkin and his wife were ruthless.

If they went public about the Byrons backing out of the engagement, the Byrons could never use York's marriage as a bargaining chip again.

The Byron family's reputation in Apex would be ruined forever.

York would become a pariah in the dating pool, and their company would be blacklisted by every potential partner.

She glanced at her husband.

Frederic was much more composed.

Instead of arguing with Mrs. James, he looked directly at Larkin.

"Larkin, our previous agreement stands. Nothing has changed."

"York just felt sorry for Cindy, which is why he let her stay in that apartment."

"We can take that property back immediately."

Frederic was far more calculating than Olga, and twice as ruthless.

Back when the Byron family and Cindy's family were still business partners, the engagement had been set in stone early on.

With the scandalous revelation regarding Cindy's true parentage, the fiancé arrangement had already been shuffled around once.

York letting Cindy crash at his place was merely a parting gift to soften the blow of a broken engagement.

The issue was that York hadn't entirely severed ties.

Cindy had constantly exploited that lingering connection, completely exhausting Tabitha's patience.

If York had handled it properly, they wouldn't be in this mess.

Initially, Tabitha had even agreed to let Cindy stay there.
