The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 790

When Karla learned that Tiffany was coming to see her, and that it was to beg for mercy on Leon's behalf, she couldn't hold back a cold scoff.

She texted Claire a simple reply: 'Don't worry.'

Those two words told Claire everything she needed to know.

Claire took Padgett around some historic local sites. They weren't exactly popular with the younger crowd, but the older generation loved them.

Sure enough, Padgett listened to her explanations with immense fascination.

The others simply followed his lead. Even if they weren't overly interested, they didn't want to ruin the mood.

Yolande actually seemed to be enjoying the tour, completely forgetting that her mother had come to Apex with an ulterior motive.

In truth, Yolande had no idea what her mother was really scheming.

All she knew was that her cousin had gotten into some massive trouble, and her mother wanted Karla to intervene.

She suspected Karla wouldn't lift a finger to help, making her mother's trip to the hospital entirely pointless.

Still, she couldn't stop her mother.

Her mother's actions had already made Yolande want to sink into the floor in front of Padgett and the others.

She absolutely refused to help her mother beg Karla for anything.

Meanwhile, over at the hospital, Tiffany finally tracked down Karla.

Because Karla had been tipped off about Tiffany's true intentions, her demeanor was freezing cold the second she saw her.

Originally, Karla had considered refusing to see her altogether.

But knowing how relentlessly annoying Tiffany could be, Karla figured avoiding her would only give her false hope. It was better to crush her delusions face-to-face.

“Karla, I honestly had no idea Leon did something so awful.”

“But I watched him grow up. I know he doesn't have a malicious bone in his body.”

“He was just momentarily brainwashed by that wicked woman.”

“Leon is more than willing to cover all of Sienna's medical bills and offer additional compensation. Do you think you could talk to her and convince her to settle this out of court?”

“Leon is an only child. He's the sole heir my brother's family has. Sending him to prison would just be too cruel for them.”

“My sister-in-law is already in poor health.”

They firmly believed their son was just blowing off steam and making a bad joke.

Who could have known that idiot woman would actually try to kill someone?

As far as they were concerned, their son was just collateral damage.

This was clearly a feud between the two Darwin women, yet their son was being dragged through the mud for it.

Leon was even being painted as the mastermind.

Their precious boy was completely innocent, but they had nowhere to plead their case.

“Victim of circumstance? The police only care about the evidence,” Karla scoffed coldly.

“If anyone is a true victim of circumstance here, isn't it Sienna?”

“She had an incredibly bright future ahead of her, and now it's been completely destroyed.”

In reality, the public didn't know the exact details of Sienna's condition yet, only that she had woken up.

Tiffany naturally assumed Sienna would make a full recovery, thinking it just meant a slightly longer hospital stay and a bit of discomfort.
