When The Family Reads The Fake Heiress Mind novel Chapter 47

Chapter 47 Found Dominic

Wow, even this tiny Vienna Hotel is crawling with Lawson family people now?

That woman with Asher must be his poor, struggling mother….

Jean remembered the novel clearly: Asher’s mother was named Mindy.

That’s right–Asher’s last name wasn’t Lawson because he knew who his father was. It was because his mother also had the last name Lawson.

The guy literally took her surname.

So if he ever reconnected with his paternal side later in the story, he wouldn’t even have to change his name. Convenient.

Mindy wasn’t educated. She had worked as hotel staff when she was younger, and somewhere along the way, through a strange twist of fate, ended up in a not–so–innocent entanglement with a major player from the Lawson family… and that’s how Asher came to be.

And now, here she still was–working hard at the same kind of job, raising her son the best she could. Respect.

Suddenly-

Jean felt someone watching her. Hard.

She blinked, pulled herself out of her thoughts.

Asher had spotted her.

The boy’s cool gaze landed on her, deep and unreadable,

“Asher, do you know her?” Mindy asked gently, glancing at her son, noticing the way he kept staring

Asher didn’t answer right away.

He was just… watching.

Watching to see if she’d make the same face everyone else did. The same face he’d memorized by now. The mix of disgust, superiority, pity….

Ever since people had learned about his family background, he’d seen that expression more times than he could count.

But Asher had never let it get to him. Not really. He didn’t feel shame He wasn’t embarrassed. He was just… determined. To climb higher. To be stronger than anyone else.

And then-

Jean smiled.

She curved her lips into a gentle arc, eyes warm, and stepped forward.

“Hey, Asher.”

She smiled even brighter. “What a coincidence.”

Asher blinked

This wasn’t the reaction he’d expected at all.

He quickly adjusted and gave a quiet nod in return.

Chapter 47 Found Dominic

She’d always worried that because of her own situation, Asher would be isolated or bullied at Stellarford Academy

But at least this girl in front of her clearly wasn’t like that.

“Hello, Mindy replied, instinctively hiding her slightly grimy hands in her apron as she gave Jean a small nod

Jean didn’t waste time chatting.

She had bigger things to deal with.

Finished

“Actually, ma’am… I came here to find my brother,” she said directly. “I know he’s staying at this hotel, but I don’t know which room. I was wondering if you could help?”

“What does your brother look like?” Mindy asked, noticing the anxious look in Jean’s eyes and clearly wanting to help if she could.

Jean pressed her lips together. She couldn’t just give away Dominic’s exact description. The guy was way too recognirbk- tall, sharp features, impossible to miss.

She wasn’t trying to blow her cover.

So she went for a smoke screen.

“My brother’s just a driver,” she said casually. “He works for this rich guy. He’s really tall and good–looking-

She then dropped a purposely vague version of Dominic’s actual features

“Huh… that sounds kind of familiar, Mindy said, narrowing her eyes, thinking hard.

Asher glanced at his mom, clearly hoping she could remember something helpful.

Jean perked up immediately. “Take your time–maybe something will come to you?”

Mindy kept thinking out loud, slowly, “I think… maybe the 20th floor? I saw a few guys in suits up there–not just one. All of them looked really young, tall, good–looking…”

Jean’s brain clicked instantly,

That had to be Dominic and Thomas.

“Thank you so much, ma’am,” Jean said sincerely. She shot Asher a grin. “And thank you too. Next time, I’ll buy you cake. See-

ya”

With that, she spun around and dashed toward the elevator.

She jammed the call button, tapping her foot impatiently.

It’s almost 8. Not much time lef

“Ding”

The elevator opened. Jean bolted inside and hit the button for the 20th floor.

When the doors slid open again, she stepped into a corridor that stretched in all directions, winding and overly fancy like a hotel mare.

She knew he was somewhere on this f

floor. But this?

It was like trying to find a needle in a chandelier store.

And then–As if the universe actually heard her whining-

She spotted him.
