The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1079

"I'll relay your decision to Dr. Sterling Senior."

Noah knew exactly what Harrison was doing.

He was sacrificing Reggie to make amends with the esteemed doctor.

It wasn't that they feared offending a young girl, but rather that wronging her had directly provoked Dr. Sterling Senior's fury.

And Dr. Sterling Senior was a man who had the ear of the most powerful politicians in the nation.

"Noah, you're a remarkably smart kid. I only hope the Darwin family doesn't become a chain around your neck."

Noah remained silent.

The Darwins would never be a burden to him.

Because he couldn't care less if the family burned to the ground.

Seeing the boy's silence, Harrison could easily guess what was running through his mind.

But what could Harrison possibly do?

He was old and dying; he couldn't micromanage everything anymore.

Meanwhile, Dr. Sterling Senior arranged for a driver to take Claire home. Before leaving, he promised her that Reggie would face consequences.

"Don't worry, Claire. Harrison still has an iron grip on his family. He won't let you suffer any indignity."

"I wasn't wronged," Claire replied, utterly unfazed by a trust-fund degenerate like Reggie.

As long as someone wasn't holding a gun to her head, she always had a way of destroying them.

She was only concerned that Harrison might ultimately shield his own blood.

"Rest assured, Harrison knows what's at stake. He absolutely will not protect that idiot."

"Okay."

Claire simply brushed it off.

If it came down to Reggie actually facing severe consequences, would Harrison really stay completely impartial?

If he were truly unbiased, the Darwin family wouldn't have decayed to this pathetic state in the first place.

Once Claire got home, she removed her makeup and immediately crashed onto her bed.

She had barely settled in when Dane called.

"You home?"

It was as if Dane had security cameras monitoring her every move.

"Just got into bed." Exhaustion laced her voice.

Dane noticed immediately and told her to get some rest.

"I'll pick you up at noon tomorrow. Sleep in as long as you want."
