The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1452

Sloane couldn't understand what had gotten into her. Just because Meiko paid too much attention to Claire, she had treated Claire as an imaginary rival.

Convinced the girl was trying to steal her friends.

Now, knowing Meiko was tangled up in unspeakable government affairs, she deeply regretted getting close to her.

Suddenly, Meiko didn't seem so important after all.

As she wandered absentmindedly, she walked right past her father without even a glance. Lawrence couldn't let it go and called out her name.

Sloane turned around. Though she had been upset by his previous warnings, it was her dad.

She couldn't exactly give him an attitude now.

"Dad," she said, walking over to him.

Lawrence waved off his colleagues, saying he was going to take a walk with his daughter.

Once they were alone, he matched her pace.

He strolled alongside her.

"What's going on with you? You look completely out of it."

Remembering his warning to stay away from Claire, Sloane averted her gaze. "Nothing. Just thinking."

Lawrence frowned. "Thinking about what? You're completely distracted."

"Sloane, if you're running into difficulties, you can tell me."

"I told you not to bother Claire, but if someone is bullying you..."

Sloane quickly interrupted him. "Dad, you're overthinking it. No one is bullying me."

"Then what is it?"

Under his relentless questioning, Sloane finally cracked.

"Dad, you know the exchange student from last semester, Meiko Fujii?"

Lawrence's expression darkened. As the Vice President Sterling, he knew things the students didn't.
