The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1156

A complete recovery was impossible; illnesses like that solely relied on long-term care.

But surely it was better than Latonia being absolutely no help at all.

Latonia firmly believed that Claire had only secured her engagement to Dane because she managed to cure Baldrick.

However, that assumption drastically underestimated Dane.

Was Dane the kind of man who could be so easily manipulated?

Did she honestly think he would use his marriage as a bargaining chip just because Claire treated Baldrick's illness?

That was nothing but a delusional fantasy.

Even if Latonia had saved his life herself, there was no way Dane would ever offer himself up in return.

"What do you know?"

Latonia scoffed, feeling like her brother was utterly clueless.

"Only a woman truly understands another woman. I know for a fact that Claire is only after his family's wealth and status."

"Still, their families are essentially united now."

"Their relationship might seem unbreakable, but if an external force were to push hard enough..."

"Cyrus, do you think you have a real shot at winning Claire over?"

Cyrus swallowed the bitter taste of defeat. "Probably not."

"Don't lose heart. Where there's a will, there's a way." Cyrus had already thrown in the towel, yet Latonia was still clinging to hope.

Cyrus frowned. "Actually, I already have feelings for someone else, and it's not Claire."

Latonia's face fell in genuine disappointment.

If her brother had fallen for someone else, didn't that mean her plan was entirely ruined?

"Does the girl you like know you've been pursuing Claire?"

Latonia still cared deeply for her brother, despite her scheming.

Cyrus hesitated. "...No."

"Well, she doesn't go to The Cabinda University, does she? It shouldn't affect you much," Latonia blurted out.

Her words were met with a long, heavy silence on the other end of the line.
