The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1116

Sloane mentioned that Claire had even participated in the Math Olympiad and won a gold medal.

"If that's the case, she really is impressive."

Hearing her own friends praise Claire's capabilities made Sloane feel even more resentful.

She remembered how she had stolen Claire's spotlight at the beginning of the semester just for online traffic.

Having already built a modest internet following, she had gained a massive wave of new fans by piggybacking on the viral trend of saving a life with a fork.

When she later discovered that Claire was the actual student who had used the silverware to save that life, Sloane felt a bizarre, suffocating wave of discomfort.

It would have been one thing if it were a stranger, but this girl was her underclassman, making it feel as though she had fraudulently stolen someone else's glory.

Since they crossed paths so often, a lingering sense of awkwardness and shame crept over her every time she saw Claire.

It reached a point where she didn't just dislike Claire; she actively wished the girl would disappear.

So why had she sent Claire an invitation to her party?

Sloane chalked it up to her own vanity.

She had originally wanted to flaunt her superiority, never expecting Claire to reject her to her face.

The girl hadn't even hesitated.

Naturally, that left a bitter taste in Sloane's mouth.

When Levi spread those rumors, she had silently allowed it to happen.

Sloane had wanted to vent her frustrations.

But who could have predicted that Claire would also show up at Luminate on the very day of her birthday?

Sloane had genuinely believed Claire regretted her refusal, and she had prepared herself to graciously accept her uninvited presence.

But it turned out Claire wasn't there for her birthday banquet at all.

Most of the patrons at Luminate were high-profile elites.

As a fake heiress, who else besides Sloane would have invited Claire?

Could it have been one of her former classmates?

But hadn't she grown up in Apex?
