The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 974

She could never tolerate someone bullying her like that.

"My mom tracked her mom down and fought her." That was the day Mrs. Zeller completely threw her refined image out the window.

Zara remembered her mother straddling Zoe's mom, scratching her face to hell and back.

Her mother had long nails, and Zoe's mom was left permanently scarred.

No one dared to step in and stop them.

When Brenda Zeller tried to pull them apart, her mom scratched that two-faced old hag as well.

Zoe's dad rushed back, but instead of demanding an apology from her parents, he offered to take Zara to the hospital to get her burn treated.

His magnanimous act only made Zara and her mother look like irrational, hysterical women.

By the time her dad got home, the drama was already over.

She only remembered that not long after, Brenda Zeller was suddenly sporting a brand-new necklace, bought with her grandfather's money.

But the promotion Zoe's dad had been banking on mysteriously vanished.

Perhaps that was her grandfather's twisted way of avenging her.

Unfortunately, even if he had orchestrated it, Zara felt zero gratitude toward him.

He was just playing both sides to keep the peace.

So what if Zara's dad didn't get promoted?

Relying on Rose's family, they lived comfortably anyway. They would have been fine even if Zoe's dad never worked a day in his life.

Every summer, whenever Zara couldn't wear sleeveless dresses or strappy tops, her hatred for Zoe flared up all over again.

That resentment bled over to her grandfather, whom she flat-out ignored.

For the entire summer, she refused to go back to the main estate for family dinners.

"I really despise Zoe, and I desperately want to get rid of this scar."

"But I'm terrified of the pain, so I didn't want to do any laser treatments."

"My mom said she'd take me to a high-end clinic in Beverly Hills after my final exams, but I kept dragging my feet."

"Claire, if this Experimental Scar Gel actually works, you'll literally be saving my life!"
