The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1138

He hadn't said a word about her cousin being there.

"Your cousin is in Cabinda for a conference," Winston explained.

Grant looked incredibly stern, rarely cracking a smile.

He usually wore a mask, hiding his handsome features, but his aura was what truly drew people in.

It was an intensity forged from working among the dead, an energy that kept most ordinary people at a distance.

Claire, however, wasn't afraid of him.

When they were kids and Grant was studying anatomy, Claire had even acted as his assistant.

Grant always believed Claire had a natural talent for forensics. He had once tried to convince her to pursue it as a career, which ended with Winston chasing him down the street with a rolling pin for miles.

Claire was a young woman; why on earth would she study forensics?

Was it because she was too gorgeous and too popular with the boys?

Just look at Grant. He was pushing thirty and had never even held a girl's hand.

Well, maybe he had—if you counted the hands of female corpses!

"You're not getting transferred to Cabinda, are you, Grant?"

Claire had just been making conversation, but to her surprise, Grant nodded. "If everything goes as planned, I'll be transferred here after the New Year."

The official paperwork hadn't cleared yet, but his mentor had already urged him several times.

He wanted him in Cabinda.

Grant had an impeccable track record in Apex, helping the criminal investigation department crack several major cases.

The Cabinda precinct was incredibly jealous.

Cabinda had its fair share of excellent forensic pathologists, but the profession itself was always severely understaffed.

Within the system, top-tier talent had to be fought for tooth and nail.

Claire, however, didn't quite understand why Grant was willing to relocate to Cabinda.

Wouldn't that mean leaving his home behind?

Priscilla voiced that exact question.

Grant offered a faint smile. "For me, being in Cabinda means I get to handle more murder cases."
