The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1090

"The people in the village I was sent to were actually very kind. Come to think of it, after all these years, I really should go back and visit them."

Padgett remained completely silent.

He had only managed to secure somewhat lenient treatment by donating half of his entire family fortune back then.

Even then, greedy opportunists had still tried to swallow all of the Churchill family's assets.

A cunning rabbit always has three burrows, and thankfully, Padgett had prepared thoroughly.

He handed over everything on the surface, and after he was officially pardoned, the government returned a portion of it to him.

The Churchill family had countless enterprises, and with what was returned, Padgett worked tirelessly to quickly restore their former glory.

The Churchills were born businessmen; that kind of natural talent couldn't be taught.

A prominent leader had once joked that the Churchill family ought to change their name, claiming they must be descended from the legendary King Midas himself.

Listening to the two older men trade stories made Claire's breakfast even more enjoyable.

After finishing their meal, Claire packed up to head back to campus, while the two seniors agreed to continue their battle at the park.

Claire could only remind the older man, "Don't forget to eat lunch, Grandpa."

Padgett waved his hand dismissively. "Don't worry, I won't forget."

Claire drove back, stopping first at her apartment complex to park her car.

She headed upstairs to change her outfit before heading to the university for her classes.

She also brought back some food for her roommates.

By the time she returned to the dorm, it was exactly lunchtime. As she opened the food containers one by one, the rich aroma instantly overwhelmed the room.

"Whoa, what amazing food did our Claire bring us this time?"

Skye had just returned to the dorm, and the aroma instantly made her mouth water.

She was already starving. Claire had texted earlier saying she was bringing dishes and that they only needed to grab some rice from the cafeteria.

So, she had only bought rice.

Right now, she was so hungry she felt like she could eat an entire cow.

Unlike Claire, she had classes all morning.
