The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 808

The more understanding she acted, the guiltier York felt.

"I'm sorry, Cindy," York repeated.

He added a silent promise in his heart: I will make this up to you in the future.

Cindy managed a weak smile. "It's fine, York. You're forced into this. I need to take care of Lance now. You should go."

Her forced bravery only made the bitter taste in York's mouth worse.

Both of them were silent as they left the hospital.

York was swimming in guilt, while Tabitha realized Cindy was going to be a handful.

She had masterfully played on a man's guilt.

If Cindy lived a good life moving forward, fine. But if she struggled, she would definitely use that to keep in touch with York.

"York."

Tabitha decided to lay everything out before they tied the knot.

"Yeah," York replied distractedly.

He had never considered being with a woman like Tabitha before.

Originally, his father had set his sights on Claire, hoping York could start over with her.

That was until his father and Latham discovered that Claire's current fiancé was Dane, the head of Cabinda's Vertex International.

With a man like Dane in the picture, the nearly bankrupt Byron family couldn't afford to offend him.

Since they couldn't cross him, they naturally abandoned any thoughts of pursuing Claire.

Now, they could only pray she wouldn't hold a grudge.

"Are you truly willing to break things off with Cindy?" Tabitha asked.

"Honestly, when my dad first suggested we marry, I said no."

"You had a fiancée. Breaking that off for us to get married means we'll always face public scrutiny."

"And who knows? You might still be hung up on her, turning me into a total joke."

Tabitha's concerns were completely justified.
