When The Family Reads The Fake Heiress Mind novel Chapter 229

While Jean was still lost in thought, Jolene had already made her way to her side without her noticing.

The woman gave Jean’s shoulder a pat, a soft smile curling at the corners of her lips.

“Come on. Let’s head to my law firm for a bit.”

Then she turned to Sofia and Mindy nearby.

“You’re her friends, right? Come with us!”

Just like that, the group followed Jolene to a law office not far from the street where they’d been.

Compared to the other law firms in the area, this one stood out with its luxurious design. It looked more high–end and spacious in every way.

As soon as Jolene stepped through the door, the employees inside all froze in place. Then, one by one, their eyes widened in shock.

Like they’d seen a ghost.

Their long–absent boss had suddenly appeared before them, catching everyone completely off guard.

“Jolene…” One of the employees stood up from his seat, fidgeting nervously as he tried to approach her.

Jolene waved a hand.

“No need to mind me. Just go on with your work,” she said with a faint smile. “I’m just here with some friends for a quick visit.”

Jean sat down on the sofa, and Jolene personally poured her a glass of juice.

“Ms. Jolene.”

Mindy couldn’t hold back any longer once Jolene had finished her tasks and finally took a seat on the couch.

Her voice trembled with emotion as she spoke.

“Don’t do that,” Jolene said quickly, her reflexes fast as ever. She reached out and caught Mindy by the arm before she could drop.

“It’s really nothing. A simple favor. And if you really want to thank someone-”

Jolene turned her head slightly and glanced at Jean with a meaningful look.

“You should thank Jean. I’m only doing this because of her.”

Mindy nodded immediately, clearly agreeing with Jolene’s words.

“You’re absolutely right. It’s all thanks to Jean…”

She turned to Jean, her eyes now overflowing with tears.

“Madam Lawson, you don’t need to thank me,” Jean said, rising to her feet as well.

Her voice was gentle but firm, carrying a calm sense of reassurance.

“Asher looked out for me at school. He helped me a lot… This is the least I can do.”
