The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1757

Even though she couldn't hear the other side of the conversation, Evie was already fuming.

She had long considered the Young family's wealth as her personal piggy bank.

If some random relatives suddenly crashed the party, where would that leave her?

The Grant family wasn't particularly wealthy; her parents were just excellent at social climbing.

That was exactly why Evie had targeted the Young family from the very beginning.

The family consisted solely of a widowed mother and her only son.

As long as she kept Yvette happy and Quentin under her control, transforming the Young fortune into the Grant fortune was entirely within reach.

Quentin's father had married into the family, so it would only make sense for Quentin to do the same with her, right?

To give her credit, while Evie lacked intelligence, she certainly didn't lack ambition.

Neither Yvette nor Quentin could have ever imagined the depth of her scheming.

"They're already on a flight to Cabinda? That fast?"

Yvette frowned deeply.

She had only just received the news and hadn't even processed it, let alone verified if these people were actually her late husband's relatives. Yet they were already rushing to the city.

It showed just how desperate they were.

If they had been searching for her husband all these years, did this mean they were going to try and take Quentin away?

She heard it was Quentin's biological grandmother coming. What if she demanded that Quentin change his last name?

A dizzying array of anxieties flooded Yvette's mind.

She completely lost any remaining patience to deal with Evie's drama.

"Evie, you're a good girl. But right now, on top of caring for Quentin, I have some serious family matters to attend to."

"You really should head back to Montara."

Without waiting for an argument, Yvette transferred five thousand dollars to Evie's account.

Combined with the ten thousand she had sent when Evie first arrived, it was a total of fifteen thousand dollars.

For an ordinary person, it was an incredibly generous sum.
