The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1018

"Of course," Sloane replied, not bothering to ask who the guest was.

To Sloane, it made absolutely no difference who Julia brought along.

Even if she showed up with Claire, what did it matter?

Having uninvited guests eagerly showing up to her party would only stand as a testament to her undeniable social pull.

Julia, however, had zero intention of inviting Claire.

She was relying on Sloane for the introduction to Dr. Sterling; dragging Claire into it would just complicate things and risk offending Sloane.

There was a saying about not hiring two managers for the same job.

She understood that social rule perfectly well.

The person Julia actually wanted to bring was her brother, Nolan.

Once Nolan found out she had a shot at meeting Dr. Sterling, he would hop on the first flight to Solenia.

She also knew she probably couldn't handle the negotiations on her own.

But her brother definitely could!

In Julia's eyes, her brother was absolutely invincible.

She immediately turned around and shared the thrilling news with him.

Nolan didn't hesitate for a second. After confirming the time, he began making arrangements to fly to Solenia.

Meanwhile, Claire was attending her classes like clockwork.

After class, she hung out with her roommates, grabbing food and drinks, living a remarkably comfortable and happy life.

The only annoying exception was the sudden appearance of a relentless suitor—Lyle Dean!

Lyle thoroughly disgusted her.

This flashy, obnoxious guy had taken to staking out The Cabinda University just to ambush her.

The first time he managed to corner her outside the campus gates was when she and Yolande had plans to grab some local comfort food.

The weather was turning chilly, and the two girls had finally managed to coordinate a dinner date, only to have Lyle pop up out of nowhere.

Claire truly hadn't expected to run into him.

What was worse, he boldly swaggered over to greet them like they were best friends.

"Claire! Yolande!"

His booming voice echoed down the street, making both girls turn their heads in surprise.

Lyle eagerly jogged over to them.
