When The Family Reads The Fake Heiress Mind novel Chapter 295

Chapter 295 Cornered

“Don’t panic just yet,” Jean said calmly, her gaze sweeping across Sofia and Mindy. “Wait a little longer.”

With that, she turned to look out the window.

If-

If her guess was right, the real culprit behind this whole setup was just about to arrive.

The driver was just a pawn. The one pulling the strings hadn’t stepped onto the stage yet…

Jean’s lips curved into a faint, cold smile.

In fact, she already had a pretty good idea who it was.

A mess of footsteps echoed faintly in the distance.

Mindy and Sofia immediately widened their eyes, instinctively craning their necks to peer out the windows.

But Jean didn’t move.

She remained seated, calm and composed, quietly waiting for that person to appear.

The car door flung open with a harsh clatter.

A tall figure loomed into view–Thomas. He looked down at them from above, his cold, detached gaze carrying a dangerous glint.

Just as expected.

Jean raised an eyebrow, unfazed.

She had been right–this entire “incident was orchestrated by Thomas.

At this point, Thomas had been pushed to the brink.

With a mountain of evidence stacking up against him, a proper investigation by the police could easily lead to his arrest.

Backed into a corner, of course he’d lash out–desperate and reckless, willing to do anything.

Jean figured Mindy was his target.

If he could get control over Mindy, he could control Asher’s lifeline.

The siblings stood shoulder to shoulder, both wearing cold, hard expressions.

“You three, get out of the car,” Selena snapped, her sharp gaze cutting straight through them like ice.

“Excuse me–who do you think you are?” Sofia scowled and fired back immediately. She hopped out of the car, then turned to wave Mindy and Jean out as well. “Forget them, let’s just go. We’re leaving.”

“How cute,” Selena tilted her head with a mocking smile. “I told you to get out. I didn’t say you were free to leave…”

Jean’s expression didn’t change. Her face remained calm and still.

Her hand slipped into her pocket, fingers brushing against the cool metal of a badge.

When in doubt… she could still call on Ludwig.

But reaching out to Ludwig now would be a last resort.

Mindy and Sofia weren’t stupid. And explaining Ludwig’s existence to them would be… nearly impossible.
