The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1035

Claire frowned in annoyance. "I'm not here for Sloane's birthday party."

She turned on her heel to leave, only to be stopped dead in her tracks again.

"You?"

"Claire, I can't believe you actually had the nerve to show your face here!"

The voice was irritatingly familiar.

Claire glanced over her shoulder. Sure enough, a desperate simp might be late, but he would never miss an opportunity to defend his queen.

It was none other than Levi Charles, the same upperclassman who was always trailing after Sloane like a lost puppy in the cafeteria.

Claire had openly rejected Sloane's invitation, and Levi's loud mouth had turned it into a massive public humiliation for his goddess.

Sloane's expression that day had been absolutely murderous.

Yet somehow, Levi delusionally believed that Claire was the one bullying Sloane, causing her distress.

A guy who couldn't even read his own crush's social cues was destined to be nothing more than a pathetic lackey.

"Exactly! Claire, you need to leave right now. Sloane is going to be so upset if she finds out you're lurking around," Lily chimed in, thrilled to have backup.

Hearing the girl mention Sloane, Levi's face darkened defensively.

"Waiter, kick her out immediately! She wasn't invited to today's event, so why are you even letting her stand here?"

The server was now caught in a terribly awkward position.

Could a girl this poised and stunning really be a party crasher?

"Miss, would you mind showing me your invitation?" the server asked hesitantly.

Claire couldn't even be bothered to waste her breath on Lily and Levi.

As she turned back to the server to explain, another group approached the scene.

"Claire!"

It was Julia, walking arm-in-arm with her brother, Nolan.

Beside them stood Whitney and her date.

He was another foreign exchange student named Jim.

"Miss Claire," Nolan greeted smoothly, far more composed than his sister.

He offered her a warm, charming smile.

"Why are you here all alone? Where's Dane?"
