The True Heiress: Legend Mode novel Chapter 68

"What? Have you been holding onto all that resentment for years, and now that Juno gave you a scrap of attention, you think you're untouchable?

Do you seriously think Dad's going to care about you just because you kissed up to her?"

Faye lunged forward, grabbing a fistful of Claire's long hair and yanking it viciously backward.

Rhiannon thought about intervening, but ultimately stayed put.

This was the Ashworth family's drama—why should she get involved?

Besides, Faye was her actual friend.

Claire had reached her breaking point. Still clutching her textbooks to her chest, she couldn't properly defend herself. "Let go of me! Are you psychotic?!"

Instead of letting go, Faye only pulled harder. "Watch your tone when you speak to me! If you ever talk down to me again, I'll make you regret it!"

Claire's lips pressed into a thin, furious line. She was entirely done.

She dropped her heavy textbooks to the floor and raised her hand, aiming a sharp slap right at Faye's face.

Rhiannon, who had been standing still, finally moved. She stepped in and caught Claire's wrist. "Violence is never the answer."

Claire violently wrenched her arm free. "Get your hands off me!"

Seeing Claire try to fight back, Faye yanked her hair even harder. "You actually tried to hit Rhiannon?! You don't know your place! Let me spell it out for you: don't think for a second that sucking up to Juno means you're safe!

You're dreaming! Sure, Juno is the biological daughter, but have you noticed the Corringtons haven't publicly announced it? Does that not tell you everything you need to know?

Rhiannon will always be the true heiress! Open your damn eyes and learn your place!

"You think you and Juno are such good friends now? Well, look at you getting humiliated right now. Where is she?

If you're so tough, why don't you call her to save you?!"

With a vicious shove, Faye slammed Claire backward toward the bathroom stalls.

Suddenly, the stall door directly behind Claire swung open.

Juno caught Claire by the waist with one arm, and with her free leg, delivered a brutal kick straight into Faye's stomach.

"Ahhh!"
