The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1026

Her mother was just an idealized memory in their hearts, mostly because she was missing.

If Melissa had been around this whole time, Zara's father probably wouldn't even have given her a second glance.

"What good is an apology?" Zara gave Claire a strange look. "What I really want to know is, who on earth is your father?"

"Melissa used to be the top socialite in Cabinda. She had so many suitors. How did your dad beat out all that competition?"

"I have no idea," Claire admitted.

"Maybe my dad was just exactly her type?"

What other reason could there be?

She couldn't possibly have been some naive rich girl who was easily swayed by sweet talk, right?

"Rumor had it that Melissa eloped. So, where is she now..."

Zara was clearly dying for some gossip.

Unfortunately, Claire couldn't answer that question either.

Up until now, no one had made a move against her, despite her being Agassi and Melissa's daughter.

There weren't even any suspicious figures lurking around her.

Of course, maybe she just hadn't noticed them yet.

Maybe they were quietly observing her from the shadows.

Claire suspected that if she had majored in mathematics, she would have drawn far more attention.

Choosing to study medicine might have been a bit of a letdown for whoever was watching.

Even if they knew she was Melissa's daughter, they probably figured she hadn't inherited her mother's unique talents.

With her hidden enemies remaining completely dormant, Claire seriously began to doubt if her parents were even still alive.

"It wasn't an elopement. My parents were legally married!"

Claire explained calmly.

"But..." Zara hesitated. "Didn't Melissa already have a fiancé back then?"
