The Coma Prince’s Fiancée novel Chapter 47

“Paulina.”

Sophia reached out, almost on instinct, looking for Paulina to help her. Paulina, clearly worried that Sophia would only make things worse, spoke up fast. “Just give me the check!”

Sophia didn’t waste a second. She handed it over, but before she could even let go, a pale, almost porcelain hand appeared between them and snatched the check away.

“Rebecca, give it back!” Sophia realized she was holding air and immediately tried to grab for it, but Rebecca just shifted to the side, neatly avoiding her.

Paulina watched Rebecca’s fingers trace over the check, and a sinking feeling settled in her stomach. Trying hard to hide her panic, especially with Norris watching, she forced herself to stay calm.

“Rebecca, you’ve probably never used a check before, right? How could you even tell if it’s real or fake? Why not just let me see it? I can check it for you.”

Rebecca didn’t even look her way.

Everyone’s eyes were glued to Rebecca as she lightly ran her fingers over the paper. For a moment, the entire living room was so quiet that it felt like no one dared to breathe.

Nobody actually knew how much was written on the check, but it was obvious that it had to be a massive amount for Paulina and Sophia to be so anxious.

Then, Paulina noticed Rebecca’s white fingertips pause on a long string of numbers. She blurted out, “Rebecca, you…”

Rebecca’s eyes drifted past her without much interest and settled on Sophia. “It’s fake,” she said, as if commenting on the weather.

Those two words landed like a splash of cold water, making Harriet, Shirley, and Sophia’s hearts all race at once.

Shirley recovered fast. “That’s impossible! I’ve had this check in my bag from the start. I never did anything to it. How could it be fake?”

Paulina just stared, overwhelmed and confused. It couldn’t be fake. Everything had happened so fast, she never even had the chance to swap it for a phony. This one had to be real.

Harriet’s face twisted with disbelief. She pointed at Rebecca. “You’re lying! There’s no way it’s fake. You must be making this up!”
