The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1093

"Besides, she was so aggressive on your birthday. She was clearly trying to embarrass you."

"She treated you like garbage, and I won't stand for it!"

Sloane stared at him in silence. What does it matter if you won't stand for it?

Do you really think she's afraid of you?

"Levi, what if Claire comes after you for doing this?"

"I'm just worried about you."

Sloane knew exactly how to play the game. What man wouldn't feel his heart melt at words like that?

"I'm just getting even for you. Leave it to me," he said. "If she comes after me, let her. I'll make sure none of this traces back to you."

Levi prided himself on being a fiercely protective man. He could never let anyone bully Sloane.

"I'm honestly not even mad. She's just young and reckless," she sighed softly.

"My grandfather actually knows her and her family. It would look really bad if things got ugly."

Sloane sounded reasonable, but her expression perfectly captured the look of a long-suffering martyr.

"You're right," Levi said, having forgotten about the family connection. "Don't worry, I know how to handle this."

Levi might have thought he was being tactical, but Claire definitely did not agree.

When Phoebe dropped the bomb about Levi continuing the smear campaign, Claire was genuinely surprised.

She had been off-campus all weekend and even missed Monday morning classes.

The rumors simply hadn't reached her ears yet.

But now that they had, she absolutely wasn't going to let it slide.

"So what actually happened?" Phoebe asked, morbidly curious about the drama at the birthday party.

"Didn't you tell her you already had plans that night?"

"How did you end up there?"

Phoebe had been sitting right behind Claire in the cafeteria and heard the entire conversation.

She knew for a fact that Claire had rejected Sloane due to a prior commitment.

"I went to the same venue, but not for her party," Claire explained.
