The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1462

But the previous lady at that specific counter had seemed to harbor a deep vendetta against female students.

Girls consistently received half the meat portions that the boys got.

She was the most complained-about worker in the entire cafeteria.

No one knew if that was why she was replaced, but the new worker was an absolute godsend.

She was quiet, efficient, and filled everyone's plates with pure, unbiased joy.

Lex Grant didn't join in the praise.

She rarely ate meat anyway.

Allowing herself the luxury maybe once or twice a week was a splurge.

At one point, to build her nest egg, Lex had restricted herself to a single meat dish per month. When Skylar and Zara Zeller noticed, they consulted Claire on what to do.

Claire pointed out that Lex was fiercely independent, and outright charity would only offend her.

Instead, Claire warned Lex that malnutrition would destroy her health.

It wasn't just about dry hair or a pale complexion.

What if she passed out during an exam, or during her shift?

Failing her classes was bad enough, but endangering others on the job was worse.

Through gentle persuasion, the three of them convinced Lex.

She now treated herself to meat once or twice a week.

If she hit her earning goals, she rewarded herself with an extra portion on the weekend.

Knowing how hard she fought just to survive, none of them offered her a handout.

For Lex, this respect was everything.

She was deeply grateful they protected her fragile pride.

Today, however, Lex was splurging on meat, so they all marched to the cafeteria together.
