The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1428

"Come to think of it, if they hadn't been so biased and handed that phenomenal engagement to an outsider, Yolande wouldn't even need to go on blind dates!"

"We're doing this for Yolande's future. The fact that they aren't grateful is bad enough, but to actually look down on the match?"

"The Churchill family has absolutely no conscience!"

Olga complained endlessly.

She was incredibly used to badmouthing the Churchills.

Because even though Tiffany had married into wealth, the Byron family hadn't managed to siphon off nearly as much money as they wanted.

The Churchills were stingy and selfish, totally unwilling to elevate their in-laws.

The Byrons had resented them for years. Their initial fawning had long since curdled into bitter complaints.

"Mom, please stop. The Churchill family isn't just heartless. That bastard Owen actually wants to divorce me!"

When Tiffany dropped that bomb, the entire Byron family froze in shock.

Beatrice furrowed her brow, feigning deep concern. "Tiffany, what happened? Why on earth would Owen want a divorce?"

"You sacrificed so much to give him a son and a daughter. Now that Yolande is grown and Seb is about to take his college entrance exams, he wants to just kick you to the curb?"

Though Beatrice sounded incredibly sympathetic, inwardly, she was practically cheering.

She was sick to death of her sister-in-law coming home and acting like a queen, parading around as if the entire Byron family owed their dignity to her.

Beatrice had been resentful for years.

But she had swallowed her pride because they needed Tiffany to scrape together scraps of wealth for their own kids.

Yet, Tiffany was a vapid, empty-headed woman. What right did she have to marry into such spectacular wealth?

If Beatrice had been the one to marry Owen, she wouldn't have had to suck up to a spoiled sister-in-law or bow down to her in-laws at home.

Beatrice clearly remembered warning Tiffany to keep the blind date discreet, to handle it quietly to avoid conflict, and to keep the rest of the Churchill family entirely in the dark.

But no, Tiffany had to make a massive spectacle of it, practically ensuring the whole world knew exactly what she was scheming!

This idiot had used up a lifetime of good luck just marrying Owen and having two decent kids.

Yolande and Sebastian were bright and accomplished—far more successful than Beatrice's own children, which was a sore spot that constantly ate at her.

But now, if Tiffany alienated her children and actually got divorced from Owen, she would be absolutely nothing!

Hiding her smirk, Beatrice patted Tiffany's shoulder in mock comfort. "Tiffany, don't talk like that. You two have history."

"Owen is just temporarily blinded by anger. Once he calms down, he'll remember everything you've done for him."

"Stop cursing him out. You two are a team; just talk it through."

"Maybe Owen just doesn't understand your true intentions. If he knew you were doing all of this for Yolande and Seb, he'd never ask for a divorce."
