The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1013

Naturally, Sloane wasn't about to tell Julia the harsh truth.

The heiress of The Ford Family was known for her explosive temper and fragile health.

Sloane didn't want to risk pushing her over the edge and causing a medical emergency.

Sloane didn't know much about The Ford Family, only what she had gleaned from online rumors.

She had no idea just how powerful they truly were.

But in her mind, no matter how influential they were overseas, their power didn't mean much locally.

Otherwise, why was Julia resorting to befriending her instead of having The Ford Family directly contact her grandfather?

It was a logical assumption.

She had seen countless wealthy people practically beg on their knees for a chance to see her grandfather. The desperation of those seeking medical help was pathetic.

Witnessing that level of desperation on a daily basis had inevitably given Sloane a sense of superiority.

"Yeah," Claire replied, her tone frosty. She remembered hearing that Sloane had used the restaurant rescue incident for clout on TikTok, and she had zero respect for her.

Because of that, Claire's response was completely indifferent.

Sloane's polite smile faltered. It was the first time she had hit such a wall.

"Do you not know who I am?" Sloane asked, genuine doubt creeping into her voice.

Given her massive online following and her status in the medical program, it seemed impossible for a student not to recognize her.

Unless—

Claire did know her, but simply despised her and was being deliberately cold.

As for why Claire would dislike her, Sloane immediately chalked it up to jealousy.

Claire was gorgeous and the star of the freshman class.

She probably just hated being around someone more accomplished.

Classic female rivalry.

"Of course I do. You're very famous," Claire said, oblivious to the wild assumptions running through Sloane's head.

Sloane took that as confirmation that Claire resented her popularity.

She frowned. "I was starting to think you just didn't like me."

Claire didn't even have a chance to respond.

Julia chimed in with burning curiosity. "Claire, why don't you like her?"
