The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 798

"No, no, no!"

Beatrice violently rejected the idea. "I can't wait! I have to go now!"

Without waiting for a response, she shoved past Trixie and sprinted down the hall.

She didn't return for the rest of the night. It wasn't until early the next morning that she finally reappeared.

Beatrice brought her husband and son in tow.

"Where is my Zoe? Is she awake?"

Karla looked at the family of three, who were failing miserably to hide their gleeful anticipation. With a heavy sigh, she broke the news. "Last night, Sienna..."

Before she could even finish her sentence, Beatrice practically shouted over her. "Did something happen?"

"Did you fail to resuscitate her?"

"Is she dead?"

The rapid-fire questions made Karla want to slap her for being so blatantly stupid.

"Yes. She passed away," Karla said, her voice dripping with cold sarcasm.

It was meant as a sarcastic jab, but the Darwin family bought it completely.

Hunter even raised his voice, feigning outrage. "What? How is that possible? Sienna just made it through surgery! How could she be dead?"

"Did you people neglect her? Or was the surgery a botched job?"

"You owe us an explanation!"

Beatrice, originally just hoping to inherit her daughter's fortune, suddenly saw an even bigger opportunity. "Exactly! You have to answer for this!"

She hadn't even considered extorting the hospital for a payout until now.

But the hospital and Karla had been so terribly rude to them.

They had constantly blocked their every move, refusing to let them do anything.

They were Zoe's biological parents, yet they had been treated like money-grubbing parasites.

Karla was the worst of them all, guarding Zoe's assets like a watchdog.

If they could use this to force Karla to cough up every last dime, it would be the ultimate payday.
