The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1239

The old man sounded a bit too pleased with himself.

So what if the brat actually liked Claire?

He needed a fighting spirit!

Getting depressed just hearing her fiancé's name? He didn't sound like a man of their family at all!

"It's not what you think."

Ewan could guess exactly what his grandfather was thinking.

But he honestly had zero romantic interest in Claire.

He already had someone he liked, which was why he dodged all the blind dates his mother tried to set up.

"Fine, fine, it's not what I think. Just make sure you don't get on Dane's bad side."

Their family had a solid standing, but Dane was not someone his grandson was equipped to handle.

Besides, the elder Mr. Green was still around. Everyone remembered how much the Green family had contributed to the country back in the day.

As long as the Greens didn't commit treason, they were practically untouchable.

"I wasn't planning on offending him," Ewan said, speechless.

Why would he want to make an enemy out of Dane? If they ended up as brothers-in-law, he'd need to get on his good side.

His grandfather, completely oblivious to his internal monologue, just urged him to regain his confidence.

Three months. He could afford to wait.

Ewan didn't say a word, but the very next day, he shaved his beard clean off.

He didn't just want to walk again. He wanted to win over Claire's cousin!

Back at the university, the semester was drawing to a close. While most students were buried in test prep, Claire was practically a ghost, vanishing all day.

Her three roommates assumed she was cramming for finals, but Claire didn't have time for that.

All her energy was focused on the Luminate laboratory.

The first batch of the Luminate Bone-Connecting Glaze had already been administered to two voluntary test subjects.

Claire had to monitor them closely, and Dr. Tandy had even sent his third student, Randall Cole, to act as her assistant.
