When The Family Reads The Fake Heiress Mind

Chapter 497 An Accidental Discovery

Truthfully, he hadn’t wanted to be suspicious of Jean.

He knew exactly what kind of person she was.

But even so, many of her actions didn’t quite add up. Was she really, as the rumors claimed, the illegitimate daughter of a Stellarford employee?

Later, he finally made up his mind-

He would use the Lawson family’s resources and connections to investigate Jean’s background.

At the time, he couldn’t help but feel that doing so made him a bit despicable.

And yet here he was… investigating her behind her back.

But he told himself–he just wanted to know who she really was.

No matter who she turned out to be or where she came from, it wouldn’t change anything for him-

He just wanted to know her better. Understand her more.
