The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1147

"What difference does it make if I know?" Achilles frowned deeply. "I took her to the Green estate and politely suggested an alliance."

"They shot it down."

"Besides, Dane and Claire's engagement is a legacy from the previous generation."

"Do you have any idea who Claire's mother is?"

Achilles harbored his own bitterness over the situation.

But it was a completely one-sided affair for the Franklin family. There was nothing they could do.

The Green family simply wasn't interested.

Despite his relentless hints, they hadn't budged, ultimately arranging for their grandson to marry a girl from the country.

Even if Claire was the granddaughter of the Churchill family, she was still widely known as an imposter heiress.

Achilles firmly believed Claire couldn't hold a candle to his granddaughter, but he knew deep down that was just his own bias.

If he were being fair, Claire was just as brilliant as Latonia, if not more so.

The sheer fact that she had managed to reverse half of Baldrick's terminal condition proved her medical prowess was nothing short of extraordinary.

Achilles respected genuine talent, so despite favoring his own flesh and blood, he couldn't completely dismiss Claire's abilities.

"Who is it?"

Cyrus looked entirely lost.

"Melissa."

A wave of nostalgia washed over Achilles as he spoke the name.

Originally, Dane's uncle, Ablett, had been engaged to Melissa.

She had walked away from the arrangement, but no one realized she had given birth to a daughter.

Now, two decades later, that daughter had rekindled the alliance with the Green family's third-generation heir.

Though Achilles felt a sting of regret, he knew the Green family's decision was final.

Whether for sentimental reasons or strategic power, Claire was a far superior choice over Latonia.

"Who is Melissa?" Cyrus had no idea what the name signified.
