The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1838

Thinking about that man left a bad taste in her mouth.

"Yorick just reminds me of how York used to act."

"But Yorick is a bit different. He looks like he's using false confidence to mask his insecurities."

Shirley didn't say more. Either way, she would never be a fan of Yorick.

But since York came up, she couldn't resist spilling the latest gossip.

"You probably don't know, but York and Cindy are still sneaking around."

"I honestly admire them. It's like they're star-crossed lovers. Maybe after overcoming eighty-one trials, they'll finally end up together."

Since Shirley had gotten over York, she viewed the situation much more objectively. For instance, she now felt bad for the girl he was actually engaged to.

However, that girl was incredibly shrewd. She had a tight grip on the Byron family's finances, making sure York and Cindy couldn't openly associate. York's legitimate money was entirely managed by his fiancée.

Who knew what he was secretly funneling to Cindy? Even though Cindy was struggling, she was clearly still clinging to him.

Maybe she was hoping that once the Byron family recovered, York would divorce his wife and marry her.

Who would have thought that after her mother cheated to have her, and after being mentored by Fallon, the ultimate homewrecker, Cindy would dedicate her life to being the other woman?

"His fiancée is no pushover. She only picked York because he's good-looking and decently smart. She's just using him for his genes," Shirley whispered, clearly having dug up some exclusive dirt.

"Her plan is to marry him, have a kid, and have that kid inherit both her family's fortune and the Byron family's assets. They're signing a brutal prenup. If the Byrons agree, they get married. If not, they have to pay back all her family's investments with interest. The Byrons can't afford that, so they have to swallow their pride."
