The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1216

Claire understood completely. "Why does this strategy sound so familiar?"

Zara Zeller's approach to handling the situation felt like a well-rehearsed procedure.

"Of course it sounds familiar. I copied you."

Zara genuinely considered Claire a close friend and thought she was incredibly capable.

That was why she had mirrored Claire's methods to deal with her own issues.

Claire didn't see anything wrong with that and gave Zara a thumbs up. "You're really coming into your own, Miss Zeller."

The girls joked around for a while before heading out to a popular fondue restaurant for dinner.

Claire had burned a lot of energy working over the past few days, Skylar Sommers needed some comfort food to calm her nerves, and Zara was simply tagging along for the company.

On the way there, Zara kept muttering, "Is eating a heavy meal at night going to ruin my figure?"

"My mom says eating out all the time isn't healthy."

Claire glanced at her slender silhouette. "Indulging once in a while won't hurt."

"Okay." Zara had just been second-guessing herself and needed someone else's validation.

The moment Claire reassured her, she happily skipped along.

The trio headed toward the restaurant, but the moment they stepped off campus, they ran into Reid Dalton.

Reid was the first to greet her.

"Zara, are you ladies heading out for dinner?"

"Yeah, Reid. What brings you to campus?"

"Just had some business to take care of," Reid explained.

He then offered the three girls a ride in his car.

Zara shot a questioning look at Claire and Skylar, silently asking for their input.

Claire had already suspected that Reid harbored ulterior motives regarding the wealthy heiress, though she had no concrete proof.

Still, she was perfectly happy to see how things played out, so she nodded.

Seeing Claire agree, Skylar didn't voice any objections either.

With that, the three of them cheerfully piled into Reid's vehicle.
