When The Family Reads The Fake Heiress Mind

Chapter 67 The Audition.

The security guard’s eyes went wide as Jean suddenly snapped.

He opened his mouth, ready to scold her-

But she shoved past him without warning.

“Hey! What do you think you’re doing?!”

Finished

The guard stood there, dumbfounded, as Jean darted straight into the surveillance room and slammed the door behind her.

He heard the lock click.

“You little brat! Are you crazy?!”

The guard twisted the handle repeatedly, only then realizing she’d locked him out. He banged on the door with both fists, face twisted in fury. “Open this door right now! I swear I’ll report you to the principal–get you suspended!”

Jean ignored him completely.

She was already in front of the console, pulling up the school’s surveillance archives.

Her theory was simple: someone had poisoned her food. She’d had water and snacks that day during lunch. Most likely, that was when it happened.

So she searched for every recording from their classroom that day

But then-

Her fingers froze. Her brows furrowed deeply.

A glaring message flashed across the screen.

The footage for that Friday was missing.

Camera malfunction, it said.

Right. A coincidence.”

Jean stared at the screen in silence.

Of course she didn’t believe it. What kind of luck would it take for the cameras to just happen to break the exact day she was poisoned?

There was no way.

This wasn’t a coincidence. Someone had planned this. The cameras were taken out in advance–whoever did this covered

their tracks well.

The security guard was still banging on the door, now yelling so loud it echoed through the walls.

Jean stood up.

Clearly, this route was a dead end.

She wasn’t about to walk out through the front, either. That guard was definitely waiting.

She turned toward the window.

It was worth a shot.

Fasy

She braced her arms on the sill and hoisted herself up and

In her past life, Jean had been athletic–very good at it, in fact.

This body was a bit weaker, sure, but climbing out a first–floor window was child’s play.

She dropped to the grass and brushed herself off. As she walked back across campus, her phone buzzed.

A new text from Taylor.

He was following up about the audition, asking if she was available soon.

Jean glanced at the message, then the sky.

Screw it.

She texted him back and confirmed: she’d come in that afternoon.

If she was already out, she might as well get it done.

Before leaving the school entirely, Jean made a quick detour back to her classroom.

It was still empty–PE class wasn’t over yet

She scanned the desks and chairs, checking her belongings.

Nothing.

Whoever it was had covered their tracks perfectly.

No evidence left behind.

Jean’s eyes narrowed.

That only made her want to find them more.

She clenched her fists.

Fine. Let’s play.

She took a cab straight to Taylor’s company building.

At the entrance, she saw Fayne waiting for her.

He spotted her and stepped forward with a friendly smile. “Glad you made it. I’ll take you up.

Jean didn’t expect to be personally greeted. noveldrama

It almost felt too courteous.

If she didn’t already know Taylor was harmless, she might’ve suspected he had ulterior motives.

The elevator took them to the tenth floor. Fayne opened the door to the office.

It was bright and spacious. Taylor was sitting at his desk, jotting down notes.

Jean’s eyes flicked across the room-

Jean stepped inside slowly

Of course she agreed.

She assumed wrong.

Now, Jean was standing here in front of her, alive and well

Laory stared, stunned

Then a worse thought hit her

What if this entire audition was only rescheduled because of Jean!

And she was just.. an afterthought!

Her teeth cirrihed. Her fingers curled into her palin.

Jean, meaowtile, looked straight at her–expression unreadable.

Before either of them could say anything. Taylor stood up and walked over, smiling warmly “Jean, there you are Feeling better! All good now?”

Jean returned the amide with practiced ease “I’m great Fit as ever”

Firstied

Jean caught every flicker of her expression

She turned to Taylor with a light, curious tone. “Mr. Taylor what’s my classmate doing here?”

“Oh night. Taylor glanced at Lacey, then back to Jean, his tone casual “Your classmate came to me after I visited your
