The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1456

"I want to be friends with you!" Sloane declared earnestly.

Claire stared at her, tempted to remind her they were supposed to be enemies.

But Sloane looked so serious.

"Are you sure? If we become friends, you forfeit your right to pursue Dane."

Sloane froze.

Crap, she hadn't even thought about that!

Was it too late to back out?

Feeling Claire's gaze on her, Sloane forced a laugh. "It's not like he's the only guy in the world. Bros before... well, you know."

"Don't worry, once we're friends, I definitely won't fight you for Mr. Green."

"He's gorgeous, sure, but it's not like the guys in my circle are ugly."

"And if worse comes to worst, I can just let my family arrange a marriage for me."

While Sloane didn't know the exact details of Claire and Dane's engagement, she figured arranged marriages had their perks—at least they filtered out the arrogant losers.

"Are you actually serious?" Claire was genuinely surprised at how quickly Sloane folded.

Dane was an exceptional catch; wasn't she sad to let him go?

"Completely serious." Sloane decided a man wasn't worth ruining potential sisterhood over.

If Claire treated her like a sister, she'd do the same.

Plus, if her friend's fiancé was that powerful, she could definitely benefit from the association, right?

Sloane's sudden shift caught Claire off guard.

Claire ultimately agreed to the dinner.

Since it was a Friday and they had no classes the next day, they actually went and enjoyed a lavish Pelago meal.

The food was as good as Sloane had promised.

But Claire wasn't a huge fan of foreign cuisine; it was fine for an occasional treat.
