When The Family Reads The Fake Heiress Mind novel Chapter 234

Jean’s heart sank slightly.

Was her mother accusing her?

Did Sienna despise cheating so much she had to call just to give her a lecture?

Jean’s fingers tensed around her phone. “Mom, actually…”

She had just begun to explain, but Sienna beat her to it.

“I know you’re not the kind of child who would cheat. I’m just upset that something this big happened and you didn’t tell me. I had to find out from some nasty gossip online…”

As she continued, her tone softened. “You should’ve told me. I would’ve helped you. Don’t worry, this-”

Jean pressed her lips together and gently cut her off. “It’s exactly because it’s all just baseless slander that I didn’t want to tell you… I didn’t want you worrying over something so ridiculous.”

Sienna’s heart melted.

“Jean.”

Her voice wavered as her eyes stung with unshed tears. “You’re always so thoughtful.”

“But some things are just too hard to face alone,” she said, her voice growing warmer, gentler. “It’s not so hard when you’ve got your family standing beside you.”

Jean shook her head. “It hasn’t been that bad, really. And besides-”

“It’s about to be over.” A confident smile tugged at her lips, her eyes shining with calm certainty.

Sienna blinked in confusion. “About to be over?”

Jean hummed softly in response, her voice calm and steady. “Just watch, Mom. I’m at school right now.”

After hanging up, Jean made her way back to Sofia.

“You’re really going to walk into the classroom?” Sofia had been checking her phone, but the moment she saw Jean, she quickly turned it off and looked at her with concern.

“The moment you walk in there, they’re going to tear into you. You know that, right?”

Jean blinked, completely unfazed. “That’s exactly why I came–to shut them up once and for all.”
