The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1454

Within a few days, Sloane looked incredibly haggard.

Though she clarified that she was merely assisting the police with an investigation, the campus rumor mill was working overtime.

The theories were wild; the most ridiculous one claimed she had poisoned someone to death, and her powerful family had bribed the police to cover it up.

Sloane was too exhausted to even defend herself anymore.

She offered pale, tired smiles and stayed silent. She was just done.

When Claire ran into Sloane again, the older girl looked like a ghost whose soul had been sucked dry.

Perhaps out of sheer curiosity, Claire stared a little too long, and Sloane noticed.

"Claire," Sloane greeted weakly.

Though the past few days had been pure hell, her lifelong habit of maintaining a polite facade kicked in.

Seeing Sloane in such a pathetic state, Claire wasn't sure if she should feel pity or not.

"Are you doing alright, Sloane?"

Claire asked casually, but Sloane froze.

She was unsure if Claire was showing genuine concern or just mocking her.

Remembering the rumors she had allowed to circulate about Claire, the weight of her mistakes finally crashed down on her.

She carried her lunch tray and sat directly across from Claire. "Do you mind if I sit here?"

Claire had come to the cafeteria alone today.

Coincidentally, Sloane was also flying solo lately.

Unsure of what angle Sloane was playing, Claire didn't turn her away.

"Suit yourself."

Sloane sat down and looked at Claire with absolute sincerity. "I want to apologize for what happened before."

"I'm sorry!"

Claire raised an eyebrow. The proud heiress was actually lowering her head?
