The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1450

Claire picked out the few books she hadn't read yet, intending to check them out and bring them back to her room.

Before she could even sit down, however, she ran directly into Sloane Sterling.

Seeing Claire, Sloane let out a visible sigh of relief.

She had been searching for Claire all day without any luck.

It was only when someone mentioned seeing Claire and her classmate head toward the library that Sloane finally tracked her down.

Unaware that she was the target of Sloane's manhunt, Claire simply offered a polite nod of acknowledgment.

But Sloane immediately stopped her. "Claire, do you have a second? I need to ask you about something."

Claire looked mildly surprised. When had Sloane ever been this polite to her? What on earth did she want to know?

"Let's step outside," Claire agreed. Talking in the library would just get them yelled at by the staff.

She whispered a quick goodbye to Priscilla, handed over her books, and walked out with Sloane.

"What do you need, Sloane?" Claire asked, genuinely curious.

Sloane had always been incredibly arrogant. Even though Claire had forcefully knocked her off her pedestal recently, the older girl was fundamentally too proud to casually humble herself.

In front of the rest of the campus, Sloane maintained her flawless, untouchable goddess persona.

"I wanted to ask... have you seen Meiko Fujii since the break?"

"She told me she was going to Apex for the holidays and mentioned she was planning to visit you while she was there."

Sloane had only remembered the detail after scrolling through her old chat logs with Meiko.

She had suddenly lost all contact with her. The university administration claimed Meiko had returned to Sundara for 'personal reasons.'

Sloane refused to believe it.

Why would she vanish so suddenly?

Wasn't Meiko the exchange student who had pulled strings just to replace that other guy?
