Not long after Cole left, Jaycie also headed out. She went shopping, picking out gifts for each of her close friends whom she was planning to meet later. When they gathered at the designated spot, her friends unwrapped the presents and gasped in shock—each box contained a brand-new luxury item.
“Jaycie, where did you get all these knockoffs? They look so real!”
“They’re not knockoffs. They’re genuine.”
Seeing their disbelief, she couldn’t help but laugh. She then revealed her true identity. “Actually, the story I told you about my father gambling and my mother being seriously ill was made up. I’m actually the only daughter of the richest family in Housleton. I’m saying goodbye because I’m going home to inherit the family fortune.”
Her friends were stunned at first, then shocked, and finally overjoyed. They couldn’t stop exclaiming, “I can’t believe an heiress has been right here with us all along!” Their excitement was so loud it felt like the restaurant’s ceiling might collapse.
Once the initial excitement died down, someone remembered Cole and asked, “But what about Cole? Does he know your real identity?”
