When The Family Reads The Fake Heiress Mind novel Chapter 325

Chapter 325 Strategic Thinking

Matheo kept his eyes down, staring at the cover of the marriage certificate for a long while.

Then, he opened it.

At first glance, there was nothing unusual about it; it looked exactly like the one he had.

“So what?” he finally lifted his gaze, his voice cold as he spoke to Jean. “You wanted me to look at it; I looked. What exactly are you trying to say?”

Jean raised an eyebrow–and then, suddenly, she smiled, strange and sly. “Didn’t you notice-”

“That this marriage certificate is fake?”

Fake? Matheo wasn’t the only one stunned–Dominic and the others looked shocked, and even Sienna, lying weak in bed, suddenly opened her eyes wide.

How could a marriage certificate be fake?

“Impossible!” Matheo’s fingers started to tremble; he scrambled to examine the document more closely. “This doesn’t look fake at all…”

He and Sienna had gone to the Civil Affairs Department in person to register back then. How could this be fake?

If the certificate was fake, that would mean-

His marriage to Sienna was fake too…

He wasn’t legally her spouse. He had no legal claim to the inheritance!

As the realization struck, cold sweat gathered across Matheo’s forehead. He clutched the certificate tightly; even his shoulders started to shake.

Sienna said nothing.

She lay frozen in bed, eyes slightly unfocused, as though searching through her memories.

Then it hit her—things she’d almost forgotten.

Before she and Matheo officially married, her parents had voiced their concerns more than once.

They were worried about Matheo’s intentions, afraid she’d been blinded by love, and deeply suspicious that all he wanted was the Ginger family fortune–that he’d take everything and leave them with nothing.

Back then, she’d been so naive, so foolish. She thought her parents were overthinking it; she’d believed Matheo was her one true love.

The day they got their certificate, she and Matheo had dressed up, walked into the Civil Affairs Department together.

But the staff at the main registration hall hadn’t been there that day. They’d been guided into a side room to complete the paperwork.

She hadn’t thought much of it at the time.

But now, looking back-

It had all been part of her parents‘ plan.

They must have seen this coming; they’d spun an elaborate web for her back then–and somehow, in the end, it had saved her.

The registration had been fake; the marriage certificate was fake. She and Matheo had never been legally married.
