The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1363

"So what made you start harboring delusions of grandeur?"

The nostalgic smile on Frederick's face shattered.

He knew it. This girl was exactly like her father.

Beneath that quiet exterior lay a razor-sharp tongue capable of inflicting genuine emotional damage.

Back then, assuming Agassi was just a destitute student, Frederick had tried to persuade him to cut corners and offer 'conveniences' to certain Sundara contacts.

What Agassi had possessed was a level of wealth Frederick couldn't achieve in a dozen lifetimes.

But how had Agassi responded?

Barry, I don't need money.

He didn't need money?

A farm boy claiming he didn't need cash?

If he didn't need money, why was he skipping meals and living on scraps?

If he was so secure, he should have been eating lavishly at the dining hall every single day!

And then he hooked up with the billionaire's daughter and finally got a taste of the good life.

It was only then that Frederick realized what Agassi truly meant.

He didn't need money because he could just coast through life on his devastatingly handsome face!

Why bother committing high treason when being a kept man was so much more lucrative?

"Are you sitting there thinking I'm completely insufferable, just like my father?"

Watching Frederick's expression darken, Claire easily deduced his bitter train of thought.

Frederick obviously came from absolute poverty and possessed an ego so fragile it shattered at the slightest provocation.

He had been too cowardly to make a move on the jewel of The Churchill Family, yet Agassi—someone he deemed lower than himself—had somehow won her heart.

That was it. The sight of Agassi dining with the elite heiress time and time again had driven Frederick absolutely insane.

What gave Agassi the right?

They were both poor, but at least Frederick had clawed his way to a professorship at The Cabinda University. Agassi was just a broke student; what could he possibly offer Melissa?

A woman like Melissa deserved to be worshipped and spoiled by a king.
