The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1168

“Growing up, Reid was always the golden child.”

“Honestly, if the age gap wasn't so big, I would have rather been engaged to him.”

Zara spoke of Preston with blatant disdain.

But when it came to Reid, she had nothing but praise.

“I think he's an alumnus of our university. He started his own company and is doing incredibly well.”

“He's definitely far more capable than Preston, and he's only five or six years older than us. Honestly, if you're interested, you should consider it.”

Claire was genuinely looking out for Zara.

“Funny enough, I've actually heard of him, even though we've never met.”

Zara wasn't surprised. “Reid is a legend at our school. It's not shocking that you've heard of him.”

“I didn't hear about him at school. I heard his grandfather trying to play matchmaker for him.”

Zara paused, stunned. “You mean Mr. Dalton is actively trying to set Reid up?”

“Is he seriously worried that Reid won't be able to find a girlfriend?”

In Zara's eyes, Reid wasn't just handsome; he was incredibly charismatic.

If she hadn't firmly cemented him in the 'older brother' category in her head long ago, she might have actually made a move on him by now.

“His grandfather does have that concern.”

“After all, Reid looks like the type who is entirely consumed by his career.”

“But there are perks to being with a man like that. At least he'd be busy with his own empire and wouldn't micromanage you. You'd have plenty of time to go out and have fun.”

Those words struck a chord perfectly with Zara.

She completely missed the knowing look in Claire's eyes.

She just asked, “Do you think if I went to the Daltons now and demanded they give me Reid as compensation for my ruined engagement, they'd agree?”

Even though Zara felt Reid was too exceptional for her, why let a perfectly good catch slip away?

“Absolutely. Preston was a disaster who ruined your reputation. Giving you Reid as an upgrade is entirely reasonable.”

Claire looked fully supportive.

Zara blinked.
