The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1346

Pandora thought it was someone else's child calling their grandmother, since Claire's voice didn't sound like that.

"Grandma, it's me, Cindy!" Cindy sounded a bit anxious.

Pandora's coldness was jarring—did the older woman truly have no affection left for her?

Cindy found it hard to accept.

"Oh, it's you," Pandora said, recognizing Cindy.

Her eyesight hadn't failed her yet.

But the elderly woman's attitude remained entirely aloof.

This was completely different from what Cindy had expected.

Cindy steeled herself, dropping her pride as she collapsed before the older woman in a desperate plea.

"Grandma, I was so foolish before. I'm sorry!"

Pandora frowned.

What was this about? Hearth & Kettle was still open for business, and she was putting on a pity party at the entrance?

The fact that Pandora thought of the term "pity party" showed just how much she kept up with the times.

"You don't need to apologize to me. You didn't do anything wrong."

"You just followed your heart."

"Besides, you're a victim too. It wasn't your fault you were switched at birth."

Seeing that no one was around, Pandora quickly finished her thought.

"Cindy, you're an adult now. You need to know how to handle things."

"Our two families have no ties anymore, so you don't need to try to win my favor."

"You and Claire have never gotten along. You two will likely never be friends, so cutting ties early is for the best."

Cindy felt a suffocating wave of despair at Pandora's words.

She wanted to tear the old woman apart to see if her heart was made of stone.

Cindy felt incredibly wronged.

She had gone to such lengths, yet Pandora refused to give her any grace.

"Grandma, I don't mean anything else. I just wanted to apologize. I was foolish before."

"And I wanted to wish you a happy new year. I still remember the past..."
