The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1057

Finn marched straight toward Dane and Claire, determined to get to the bottom of this.

"Why are you creeping up on us?" Dane asked, not even bothering to turn around.

Finn had been trailing them, thinking he was being stealthy. He hadn't expected to be outed so quickly.

Dane wouldn't have even bothered calling him out if Finn hadn't been shuffling around so annoyingly behind them.

"I'm just curious where you managed to kidnap such a lovely girl," Finn chuckled, stepping into their line of sight.

Claire observed him quietly. Finn was a completely different breed from Dane. He didn't have Dane's striking, intimidating aura, but he had a playful charm. He carried that relaxed, slightly lazy posture of someone born into immense wealth, though the sharp glint in his eyes betrayed a clever mind. These elite heirs were certainly trained well.

"Cut the nonsense. Didn't your grandfather fill you in?" Dane drawled.

Finn had obviously just come from Kendrick's side, otherwise, he wouldn't be acting so nosy.

"He chewed me out, actually," Finn complained. "Said you finally managed to land a woman, while I'm still riding solo."

"I was coming to pick a fight with you."

"We made a blood pact to be lifelong bachelors, man. Why did you back out on me?"

Finn played the wounded victim to perfection, but Dane looked at him like he was an idiot. He rolled his eyes. "I never agreed to that."

"Introduce us then, man," Finn said, finally dropping the goofy act.

Dane obliged. "Claire, my fiancée. Keep it quiet for now, it's not public yet."

"Claire, this is Finn, a childhood buddy of mine."

Claire wasn't surprised by the childhood connection. Finn, however, looked like he'd been struck by lightning.
