The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 846

"In reality, she was just a manipulative schemer, and my relationship with her was a complete misunderstanding. I was totally set up by her, okay?"

"The one I actually liked was her twin sister, Seraphina Thorne!"

Owen practically roared.

Xavier Vance froze, and Claire looked equally surprised.

Was she witnessing some major drama right now?

Her cousin usually acted so carefree, but to think he actually had someone he loved.

He was the only man in the Churchill family who didn't strictly mind his reputation!

Loving the older sister but dating the younger one—what kind of tragic romance trope was this?

"What? Jocelyn Thorne has a sister?"

Xavier never knew about this, and Jocelyn had never mentioned it to him before.

This sudden revelation of a sister left Xavier with the unpleasant feeling of having been kept completely in the dark.

Owen knew all about it, yet he was clueless. Was she treating him like an idiot?

"That's right. The person I originally knew wasn't Jocelyn, but her sister, Seraphina."

"Jocelyn and Seraphina had completely different personalities."

The only reason he agreed to date Jocelyn was to find out where Seraphina was.

To outsiders, that became the ultimate proof of two friends turning into bitter enemies.

"Then why were you sucking up to Jocelyn before?" Xavier asked, still half-doubting the story.

If there really was a twin sister, there was no way he wouldn't know. Plus, everyone had seen Owen actively pursuing Jocelyn.

"You really thought that was Jocelyn?"

Owen looked at Xavier with a cynical smirk.

"Did you know that the two sisters would swap identities? Whenever there was an exam, the one who came to school was Seraphina, not that airhead Jocelyn."

Jocelyn hated studying. Instead, she loved singing and dancing, and with her sweet talk, she easily won over their parents' favor.

He didn't know what kind of manipulation she used to convince Seraphina to take her exams, but a girl who resorted to such fraud was an absolute disgrace to the school.

If the school ever found out, Jocelyn would have been expelled and publicly humiliated.

With her originally mediocre grades, and her complete aversion to studying once she had her sister cover for her, how could Jocelyn ever find another school to repeat the year and get into college on her own merit?

She only had one path left: avoid Owen and study abroad!

So, studying abroad was nothing more than a convenient cover-up.

"How could that be?" Xavier couldn't believe the so-called truth Owen was spinning.

They were both daughters; how could the Thorne family treat the sisters so differently?

It was all because Jocelyn was a master manipulator. Since Seraphina was physically healthier than her, their parents always believed the older sister had stolen all the nutrients in the womb.

As a result, Seraphina was neglected from birth, while her younger sister grew up spoiled and pampered by their parents.
