The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1178

A day early or a day late wouldn't make much of a difference.

"Ugh, why are you meeting her? Isn't she that girl from Sundara?"

Because Meiko had sought Claire out so many times, her roommates had grown all too familiar with her.

Claire had never shown her a shred of warmth before.

Why the sudden willingness to hang out?

"It's not that I want to hang out with her. She just won't leave me alone, and I'm tired of it. I want to deal with it once and for all."

"Don't fall for her sugar-coated traps. Most Solenians aren't exactly fond of people from Sundara."

"There aren't many good ones from there. She definitely has an ulterior motive."

Did they really think Claire was blind to her motives?

She just didn't understand why Meiko was so dead-set on having her handle the consultation.

Since she wanted it so badly, Claire decided to humor her.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Skylar knew Claire was always rational, but she was still worried Meiko might manipulate her.

Meiko hadn't been at The Cabinda University for long, but she was incredibly popular.

It wasn't that Skylar hated social butterflies.

It was just that her being from Sundara naturally put people on guard.

Claire praised Skylar's sharp instincts and high level of awareness.

"It's a shame you aren't working for the government."

Skylar glared at her playfully. "If they'd take me, I'd sign up right now."

She just didn't have the grit for that kind of hardship.

Claire got ready at home—or rather, she put on a little extra effort under Skylar's fierce insistence.

"That Meiko always looks flawless when she goes out."

"Half the guys on campus are completely obsessed with her."

"If you go out with her looking plain, it's not just a rivalry between two girls. It's a clash of national pride."
