When The Family Reads The Fake Heiress Mind novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48 Theatrics Unleashed

Finished

Jean originally assumed that Selena would only show up after Thomas had drugged Dominic, swooping in at the perfect time to collect the prize.

But now it seemed like Dominic probably had no idea she was coming.

This Miss Lawson clearly hadn’t been invited. She’d just shown up on her own, hoping to get a head start with Dominic.

Wait a minute…

What if Dominic fell for her at first sight, just like he did in the novel?

What if he ended up smitten on his own and they hit it off immediately–no drugs, no schemes needed?

In that case, what was Jean doing here trying to stop it?

She’d just be ruining their magical love story. Ruining their beautiful night together.

No. Hell no.

That wasn’t a love story. That w

a disaster.

This wasn’t romance–it was a curse.

In the novel, Dominic’s “crush” on Selena turned him into a tragic simp. A man who gave and gave, only to fall apart and lose everything in the end.

This isn’t love. This is a slow, painful trainwreck.

And knowing how Selena operated, even if something did happen tonight between her and Dominic, she’d never actually commit. Just like the novel, she’d keep Dominic hanging–half in, half out–while she casually dated other hot guys on the

side.

Gross. Absolutely gross.

Jean clenched her jaw.

She couldn’t just stand by.

She had to do something.

She reached into her pocket and pulled out a face mask.

She wasn’t sure if Selena had gotten a clear look at her face earlier in the day, but she wasn’t about to take chances. Better to be safe and stay hidden.

Mask on, Jean headed back toward Suite 2013.

As she got closer, she finally noticed the black–suited bodyguards stationed near the entrance to the hallway.

OMAA So Mat’s where they are.

Earlier she’d wondered why the suite wasn’t guarded.

Now it made sense. The guards were just post
