The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1167

“Don't you look stunning today?”

Reid offered the compliment casually.

Zara beamed, her heart soaring. “Of course! It's my birthday, after all!”

Looking at Reid, and then back at Preston, Zara felt an overwhelming wave of disgust toward her ex-fiancé.

They might not have shared the same parents, but they shared the same grandparents. How could the difference between them be so vast?

Hearing it was Zara's birthday, Reid paused for a moment.

“I didn't realize. Give me a second.”

He parked the car, stepped out, and grabbed a gift box from the trunk.

“A business partner gave this to me. You can have it.”

“Consider it a birthday present.”

Zara glanced at the designer logo on the box. “Reid, this looks really expensive. I can't take this.”

Reid shoved it into her hands. “Take it. It was a gift from someone else anyway, and I have no use for it.”

Hearing that, Zara didn't refuse again. “Thanks, Reid. You're so much better than certain people!”

Certain people?

Reid knew immediately she was talking about Preston.

He merely chuckled. “Since you have friends over, I won't hold you up. Enjoy your birthday.”

“Preston, are you coming home with me?”

Reid turned, fully intending to drag away the guy Zara hated the most.

Preston hesitated. If he went back with his cousin, he'd definitely get a lecture. He'd rather stay and comfort Zoe.

“No, I've got things to do.”

Reid didn't mind.

“Alright, I'll head back first then.”

Zara quickly stopped him. “Reid, don't go! Come inside and hang out for a bit. Grab something to eat.”

Preston rolled his eyes. His cousin was a workaholic who barely had time to breathe. Did she really think he had the free time to celebrate her birthday?

Did she seriously expect him to walk into the Zeller house?

But a second later, Preston was metaphorically slapped in the face.

“Sure. Let me go back and change clothes first.”
