The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1245

If it was just a mutually beneficial arrangement, Zara felt totally fine with it. But if he genuinely found her physically irresistible, she felt incredibly flustered.

Claire sighed. This girl was getting played like a fiddle.

With a sharp mind like Reid's, Zara didn't stand a chance.

"Do you really think Reid could actually like me?"

It wasn't that Zara lacked confidence in her own looks; it was just that Reid had always been so impossibly composed and serious since they were kids.

He looked like a man utterly devoid of worldly desires. There was no way he was driven by lust!

"You're more than just a pretty face. You got into The Cabinda University. Do you honestly think you have zero brains?"

"Are you really that blind to your own worth?"

"Stop letting your cousin mess with your head. Just because she manages to poach the guys around you doesn't mean you're inferior to her."

"The reality is that you're better than her in every conceivable way, which is exactly why she's so desperate to steal everything that belongs to you."

"Get this through your head: Zoe is jealous of you. Not the other way around."

Ahhh!

Zara felt like Claire had just dropped the ultimate truth bomb.

She really shouldn't have let Zoe manipulate her all these years.

The guys Zoe managed to steal were nothing but trash anyway.

Any genuinely top-tier man would see right through Zoe's manipulative act in a heartbeat.

They would never choose someone like her.

"I get it now. I'm never going to let her intimidate me again, and I am done comparing myself to her."

Claire's words had completely snapped her awake.

Zara realized she had been trapped in a toxic cycle of self-doubt.

Why had she ever thought she couldn't measure up to Zoe?

It was overwhelmingly obvious that Zoe was just insanely jealous of everything Zara had!

The most glaring proof was Zoe's deep-seated resentment that Zara was the true heiress of the Zeller family. No matter how perfectly Zoe played her part, she would always be the illegitimate outsider.

Hehe!

Ms. Zeller had officially reclaimed her crown!
