The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1075

There was simply no reason for Claire to refuse.

The General was a man who commanded the utmost respect.

As for his spineless descendants, if they dared to cross her path, she would not show them an ounce of mercy.

Take that idiot Reggie Darwin, for example.

Well, speak of the devil.

The moment Claire stepped out of the office, she bumped right into Reggie.

"Hey gorgeous, your name is Claire, right?"

"I am General Darwin's grandson, Reggie Darwin. You can just call me Reggie."

Reggie struck what he clearly believed was an irresistibly handsome pose.

Claire almost burst out laughing.

Where did this absolute moron come from?

"I do not know you," she replied flatly.

Dr. Sterling was standing right beside her.

The old doctor had secretly worried that Claire might be blinded by the superficial allure of a wealthy heir.

If she actually fell for a sleazebag like Reggie, it would be a tragedy.

A catastrophic waste of her brilliant potential.

But thankfully, the girl raised under Hale's guidance was remarkably grounded.

He had already made the Darwin family's toxic dynamics crystal clear to her.

She didn't give Reggie even a fraction of an inch.

"Well, we know each other now, don't we?" Reggie smirked.

"Besides, you know my grandfather. Knowing who he is should be more than enough."

The man was unbelievably thick-skinned.

Claire just stared at him in absolute, stony silence.

Her unblinking gaze was intense enough to make his skin crawl.

"What are you looking at?" It was the first time a woman had ever made him squirm under her stare.

And a stunning one at that!

A sudden chill crept up Reggie's spine.

"I was just checking to see if you had a label slapped on your forehead that says, 'My grandfather is General Darwin.'"

Reggie looked bewildered. "Why the hell would I wear a label like that?"

"Because otherwise, how would anyone possibly know you are the General's grandson?" she shot back smoothly.

"Honestly, sticking a 'General Darwin's Grandson' barcode on yourself might actually make you somewhat interesting."
