The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1433

"My mom is completely brainwashed by her side of the family."

Yolande let out a heavy sigh.

Being used by her mother to leech off the main branch of the family when she was a child had been painful enough.

Now, learning that her own mother was willing to sell her out just to benefit the Byrons had utterly shattered whatever hope Yolande had left.

For years, she had been caught in the crossfire between Tiffany and her great-uncle's family, living in constant embarrassment.

It was bad enough that her mother never considered her feelings, but she would even take the jewelry gifted to Yolande by Octavia and Patti and give it away to other people.

Yolande had always harbored a quiet resentment toward her mother, but because they were blood, she had forced herself to endure it.

Perhaps it was a child's natural yearning for a mother's affection. She knew her mother treated her worse than her two cousins, which only made her try harder to win her approval.

But after years of desperate effort, all she got in return was abandonment.

This time, Yolande was truly, completely done with her mother.

"Having a mother like mine is worse than not having one at all!"

The moment the words left her mouth, Yolande realized her mistake.

"I'm so sorry, Claire. I didn't mean it like..."

Claire raised a hand, gently cutting her off. "It's okay, Yolande. I don't need an explanation. I know exactly what you meant."

"Some people just aren't meant to have a strong bond with their parents. You shouldn't let it weigh you down."

"Your mom might not love you the way she should, but she definitely loves you at least a little."

"Unlike my adoptive mother. You'd think she loved her biological daughter, right? Yet she ruthlessly stood by and watched her rival swap their babies."

"She had to know that if her rival had been even slightly more vicious, her actual daughter would have been murdered."

"It's so easy for an infant to suffer a fatal 'accident.'"

"Her rival hated her to the core because my adoptive mother had previously caused her to miscarry."
