The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1069

"Going where?"

Claire was completely lost.

It was getting late. Was the esteemed doctor really trying to draft her into free labor right now?

"You'll see when we get there."

Dr. Sterling didn't have time to explain.

Besides, they were in a crowded hall. His work was highly classified, and he certainly couldn't broadcast it to the room.

His work was top secret.

"I..." Claire tried to decline, but Dr. Sterling was already dragging her toward the exit.

She barely had a second to wave goodbye to Dane.

Sloane watched her grandfather walk away with Claire, a bitter taste flooding her mouth.

His work was strictly confidential. He had never once asked any of his grandchildren to tag along when duty called.

Even her own father didn't get that kind of access.

What gave Claire the right?

Was it all just because of her dead mentor?

And earlier, her grandfather had actually offered to teach Claire the Sterling Thirteen-Point Technique—the very same technique he had forbidden Sloane from learning.

He had bluntly declared that everyone in her generation lacked the talent for it.

He hadn't even given her a chance to try before dismissing her.

Sloane was furious.

Yet she was entirely helpless.

She desperately wanted his validation.

Watching him dote on an outsider made her chest burn with envy.

She turned and noticed Dane had also been left behind.

"Mr. Green, it looks like my grandfather needed Claire for something urgent. If you're going to wait for her, why don't we..."

"No need. I'm leaving," Dane cut her off coldly, completely shutting down her attempt to socialize.

Dane turned on his heel and walked away, giving her no further attention.

Nolan, eager to speak with Dane, immediately grabbed his sister and hurried after him.
