The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1373

Back at Hearth & Kettle, Pandora paced the floor, anxiously awaiting the return of her grandchildren.

The confirmation that an attack had actually taken place left her nerves frayed, despite knowing they had been heavily prepared.

If anything had happened to Claire, she would never have been able to face Agassi and Melissa again.

Besides, Claire was her miracle—the granddaughter she had lost and finally found.

Pandora cherished her too much to bear the thought of her in danger.

"Pandora, we're home!"

Claire's voice rang out as the heavy front doors swung open.

Pandora bolted upright, abandoning her usual refined composure in a heartbeat.

"Claire! Are you alright?" The older woman rushed forward, inspecting the girl from head to toe. Seeing her completely unharmed, she let out a shaky breath of relief.

Only then did she notice the bandages and bruises on Dane and Dewitt.

"I'm perfectly fine," Claire reassured, stepping forward to steady her grandmother.

"Dane and Dewitt took a few hits, though. Are you guys okay?"

Pandora frowned slightly, but she wasn't overly concerned. Men were resilient; as long as no bones were shattered, a few scrapes built character.

"It's nothing serious," Dane added gently, moving to support Pandora on her other side.

Dewitt trailed behind them, hauling their overnight bags.

Once they were settled in the private parlor, Claire finally debriefed them on the chaotic events of the past two days.

When Pandora learned that her son's former teacher was the traitor pulling the strings, a heavy silence fell over the room.

"He rarely spoke to me about his time at the university," Pandora murmured softly. "I had no idea."

With a mentor harboring that much toxic envy, Agassi's academic career must have been fraught with hidden battles.

It made sense now why he had always brushed off her questions about his studies.

"The man goes by a completely different name now," Claire explained. "He's in custody, and he's never seeing the light of day again."
