The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1163

The Zeller estate was nestled in one of the city's most exclusive neighborhoods.

As Claire pulled up to the sweeping driveway, she noticed a lineup of luxury cars already parked out front.

It seemed Zara's "small birthday gathering" had drawn quite a crowd.

Staff members were stationed at the grand entrance to welcome the guests.

Since Claire was Zara's roommate and a VIP on the guest list, the butler immediately ushered her inside the moment she gave her name.

"Hold on a second."

Claire was just about to step through the double doors when a voice called out from behind her.

She turned around.

What a coincidence. It was Zara's two-faced cousin, Zoe Zeller, and her ex-fiancé, Preston Dalton.

The two of them were actually showing their faces here together.

Crashing the birthday party of the girl he had publicly humiliated? They were clearly looking for trouble.

However, Claire quickly realized the "hold on" wasn't directed at her.

She had already crossed the threshold. The people still standing outside were... wait, it was Lex Grant and Skylar Sommers.

Before Skylar could even wave at Claire, they were stopped.

The two girls looked at Zoe. "Hi, were you talking to us?"

Their tone was polite and friendly.

Since neither of them recognized Zoe, they had no idea she was the toxic cousin Zara had vented about in the dorms.

"Yes, I was talking to you."

Zoe's gaze swept over them dismissively. "Are you sure you're in the right place?"

"This is my cousin's birthday party. This is her home."

Zoe's condescending tone left Skylar and Lex utterly confused.

Claire instantly regretted letting them take a cab instead of driving back to campus to pick them up herself.

She should have known better.

Zoe was obviously trying to start a fight.

"Your cousin wouldn't happen to be our favorite wealthy heiress, would she?" Skylar asked casually, using her affectionate nickname for Zara.

But to Zoe, the comment sounded painfully subservient.
