The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1476

Claire, Priscilla, and Lucinda crouched behind the flower bed, trying to stifle their laughter.

"A man like Professor Churchill is destined to be a bachelor forever!"

Lucinda whispered in awe.

Priscilla had a different take. "He's just setting strict boundaries. If he doesn't like someone, of course he should reject them."

"If he doesn't shut it down now, she'd only cling harder, wouldn't she?"

If this female teacher had been just a little more shameless, Norris could have been guilt-tripped into spending his life with a woman he didn't love.

The mere thought of some unwanted woman eventually inheriting his estate was enough to make anyone sick.

While Priscilla didn't have anything personal against Honoria, she absolutely despised her manipulative tactics.

"Priscilla is right," Claire agreed. "No matter how much Honoria likes him, the fact remains that Norris isn't interested."

"Not giving her false hope is actually doing her a favor."

Although Claire secretly agreed that her cousin was probably destined to die a bachelor, it was still better than him marrying someone completely unhinged.

If he brought home a woman who loved putting on such theatrical displays, their family gatherings would be an absolute nightmare.

Lucinda nodded, persuaded by their logic. "You both make a good point. In that case, being too much of a gentleman would only backfire."

The situation reminded her of her own father, who had once been relentlessly pursued by a student.

In his younger years, Professor Vance had been quite the charming intellectual, and with his good looks and his status as a doctor, it was easy for people to become infatuated.

One of his female students had developed a fierce obsession with him, determined to take his wife's place.

The student had even confronted Lucinda's mother, spinning a web of ambiguous lies.

If her mother hadn't trusted her father completely, their family could have been torn apart.

Lucinda would have ended up caught in a messy divorce, feeling like an abandoned orphan.

"Exactly! Once a man commits, he has to stay strictly in line, and before he settles down, loyalty and self-discipline are the best traits he can bring to a marriage!"

Priscilla stated firmly.

Claire nodded in solemn agreement.

When it came to that, Dane excelled.

Seeing her reaction, Priscilla shot Claire a meaningful glance.
