All Chapters of Lost Heiress of the Belfort Brothers: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Yvonne’s POVDuring break, while others drifted off to snack corners and had fun with their peers, I had already changed into the apron. I pulled on the gloves, picked the towel too, and took the bucket and mop from Mrs Greg—the head of the janitorial staff, with hands that wouldn’t stop shaking. She had given me a quick nod that almost felt pitiful, but then instructed me to go clean the hallway behind the cafeteria as the principal had ordered.At least, it wasn't a place the whole school could crowd easily as the corridor was not too wide and out of the way. And students rarely walked through here unless they were heading to the staff room. That thought steadied me a little, knowing that if I could be quick, maybe it would be done before the curious ones found me.One thing kept looping in my head: I am fast at cleaning. I always have quick hands when doing chores. And so, with regards to that, I told myself I’d be done before anyone got wind of it.On a quick thought, I felt like

Gentle’s POVThe whole space had gone so quiet that I could almost hear my own breathing. The only sound left was the distant buzz of voices coming from the cafeteria. Every student who had been laughing a few seconds ago right here now all stood frozen with their eyes darting between me and Tricia.I could feel the tension like heat pressing down on my skin. My jaw tightened as I sent one last glare across the crowd. Nobody moved, not even the bold ones who had been cheering her on. The moment I snatched Tricia’s phone and that sharp sound echoed through the air, everything stopped. Their faces shifted—some confused, some scared, while others were pretending not to have seen anything. I think that's one advantage of being one the Belfort Brothers.“Why would you..” Tricia began, her voice rising, but I cut her off before she could build momentum.“Enough.” The word came out low but sharp, leaving no space for her to argue.Her nostrils flared. “Gentle, this bitch almost ruined our li

Tricia’s POV“Dr. Josh, you said I needed to be here myself before you could issue another DNA test to me.”My tone came out sharper than I intended right there at his office, but I didn’t care. I was in no mood for games.“Yeah, I did,” he said calmly, leaning back in his chair like a man who had all the time in the world.“So what was that for? You could have easily issued one to Adrian when I sent him over.”But then, he gave a dry chuckle that made my stomach twist in annoyance. “Sure, but I needed you to come over so we could talk better about this.”“Oh, I get where you’re driving at,” I said, folding my arms. “If it’s about money, you can always count on me. Since I’m now the heiress of the Belfort brothers, I can afford any amount you ask for. So, you can write out your account details and I will whatever amount you want to have this done.”“Sure, I want something,” he said, his eyes sliding over me slowly, deliberately. “But definitely not in cash.”My brows furrowed. “What’s

Tricia’s POVBobby’s words landed like a tiny stone in a quiet pool. “You know, now that I see her in a good dress, she really does look like our mum.” He said it almost to himself, but I squeezed my ears to hear that and then he drifted over and stood beside Jack.Jack rolled his eyes and waved a hand. “Come on, bro. I only think that you are simply imagining things in your head.”They moved back to their seats as if nothing had happened, laughing together, but my head was spinning. I could feel their eyes flick to Yvonne and then away again, and that little shift which felt subtle made my palms go cold.“Are they serious?” I muttered, the plastic cup in my hand slipping a little from the way I squeezed it. The drink sloshed and soaked my fingers and I didn’t even notice until the cold spread through my palm.I couldn’t let that happen, Never! Not after all I have sacrificed including giving out my body to that jerk of a doctor. For me, this family was mine. I’d built this, and I cou

Yvonne’s POV“I guess the evidence just disappeared or maybe because it never existed in the first place, so I’d advise that you stop trying to prove nothing,” Sophia sneered, her arms folded like she’d just won a prize. Of course, I think she did.Liam huffed, his jaw tightening. I could tell he was holding himself back from saying something he’d regret. His eyes darted to me for a split second, guilt written all over them, and then dropped to the floor. He looked helpless, and that broke something in me.“This is embarrassing,” Bobby muttered loud enough for everyone around to hear. “You obviously wanted to get noticed, but deep down, you two came here with no proof.”His words hit harder than I expected. The whispers that followed sliced through me like tiny blades. Like no proof, no evidence, nothing at all.“I’ve dealt with a lot of frauds over the years,” Jack added, shaking his head in disgust. “But you… you’re the most shameless by far.”That was it. I couldn’t hold it in anym
