The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1146

Jade Foster was still lamenting that such a good catch had already been claimed.

Claire ate her meal without a shred of guilt.

The food here was far superior to that upscale restaurant they visited last time, easily rivaling the White family's Hearth & Kettle.

The menus at both places had their own unique flair.

On the other side of the street, Ethan Monroe walked with Cyrus Franklin.

Ethan was genuinely stunned to discover Claire was engaged. He hadn’t jotted that down in his observation notes yet.

Wait, if the academic genius was dating, wouldn't it wreck her grades?

Ethan's little diary was about to get a massive update.

Beside him, Cyrus was completely spaced out, nearly walking straight into oncoming traffic.

Ethan had to yank him back by his collar.

"Are you trying to get yourself killed?" Ethan, usually the calmest guy in the room, nearly lost his temper.

Cyrus scowled. "How on earth did Claire end up with Dane?"

"If Dane is engaged, what happens to Latonia?"

He muttered to himself, but Ethan caught the gist.

"Did Dane sign a contract with your family?" Ethan scoffed.

"If not, he has every right to choose who he wants."

"He likes Claire and asked her to marry him. What’s so shocking about that?"

In Ethan's eyes, Claire was phenomenal. Dane practically oozed power and dominance, so naturally, a man of his caliber would have impeccable taste.

Wasn't it perfectly normal for an exceptional man to fall for an exceptional woman?

Cyrus still couldn't wrap his head around it. "How could he fall for someone else? Latonia has been devoted to him for years."

"Just because Latonia likes him doesn't mean the feeling is mutual," Ethan countered.

"You can't expect a guy to marry someone just because she has a crush on him."

Cyrus knew Ethan was making sense.

But he couldn't help feeling furious on Latonia's behalf.
