When The Family Reads The Fake Heiress Mind

The frost in Jean’s eyes deepened with each word, her voice tinged with scorn and a sharp, simmering anger. “Did I not pay you? Did I not make a deal with you?”

Her lips curled ever so slightly, though it wasn’t a smile. “As your client, I could have tolerated receiving a painting with such loaded symbolism. But to find out even the right to call it a gift has been stripped from me–was that part of the service, too?”
