The True Heiress: Legend Mode novel Chapter 301

With that settled, the Corrington family had no objections.

The holidays were fast approaching, and Juno couldn't be bothered with the Talbot family's fate. She would deal with them after the new year; no matter how much they struggled, there was no coming back from this.

One afternoon, Kaelen and Jeremy Jagger stopped by with the same purpose in mind: they were worried about Juno.

They hadn't expected the situation to be resolved so quickly.

Kaelen took a sip of his hot coffee. "I really underestimated Juno. There's nothing she can't handle."

The recent wave of public backlash had been fierce. Terrified she wouldn't be able to bear the pressure, he had immediately contacted his PR connections to suppress the scandal. But before he could even make a dent, Juno had fixed it herself.

Looking back, it still felt surreal.

Gwendolyn sat opposite her two brothers in comfortable loungewear. "You guys didn't just come over to check on Juno, did you?"

Jeremy set his mug down, shifting in his seat with a hint of awkwardness. "Nothing gets past you."

Gwendolyn offered a faint smile. "Out with it. What's going on?"

Kaelen hummed and hawed without actually saying anything until Jeremy couldn't take it anymore. Their older brother was acting like a bumbling fool.

Jeremy, having no such reservations, laid it out. "It's like this. Last year, you spent the holidays at the Corrington Estate. Mom's getting older, and she wanted a lively, festive house this year. So, she sent us to ask where you're spending the holidays. How about the Jagger estate? The old lady even bought some new clothes for Juno and had her room prepped."

Whenever their mother, Matilda, planned these things, she had more energy than a team of maids could handle.

Gwendolyn understood perfectly. Her brothers weren't here to discuss it; they were delivering a notice. *Mom has everything ready, just waiting for you to show up.*

She kept her tone gentle. "I know she loves having a full house, but it won't work out this year. We already promised Juno we'd spend the holidays with her in Blackwood City."

Kaelen and Jeremy exchanged a look, asking in unison, "The whole family?"
