The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1153

"We were doing it for Claire's own good."

"We thought she was purposely stringing him along, and that would ruin her reputation if word got out."

"Claire misunderstood us."

Macy Wade really knew how to defend herself.

Zane Harrison couldn't even be bothered to expose her petty thoughts.

But Claire wasn't going to let it slide. "What do you mean, 'if word got out'? Aren't you the ones ruining my reputation?"

"Macy, do you need me to pull out the rest of the evidence?"

"Like how you've been spreading rumors everywhere that I'm stringing Cyrus along and accepting his gifts?"

Macy looked relatively calm on the outside, but she was panicking internally.

She never expected Claire to know about the other things too.

Getting caught red-handed today was bad enough, but if Claire had other things hanging over her head, she was genuinely worried Claire wouldn't let this go.

Macy was the type who knew when to fold. She immediately apologized, "I'm sorry, we misunderstood."

"We apologize to Claire."

Tabitha Prince followed suit and apologized. Only Lily Lowell, still jealous that Cyrus had actually pursued Claire, couldn't bring herself to say the words.

Claire didn't care. "Does an apology fix anything? Just like how I dumped a plate of food on your heads—would you accept my apology for that?"

Of course, the three of them didn't want to, but was there a better option right now?

They could only grit their teeth and say they wouldn't pursue the matter.

Claire was quite satisfied with this.

She looked at Zane. "Mr. Harrison, since neither side is pressing charges, can I leave now?"

Before Zane could speak, someone hurried over.

It was Sloane Sterling and her friend from Sundara, Meiko Fujii.

"Macy, are you okay?"

Sloane immediately checked on Macy, making it look as if Macy had been horribly bullied and wronged.

Macy was just about to say she was fine when she saw Sloane already pointing the finger at Claire.
