The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1477

Claire was no stranger to this sort of thing.

Back when she was the heiress of the James family, she had crossed paths with her fair share of shameless people.

They always played the victim, pretending to beg while actually laying on a heavy guilt trip.

The James family had only been the top household in Apex, yet that alone had attracted endless trouble.

With her current status, even more opportunists were bound to flock to her like moths to a flame.

The only saving grace was that her true identity as a granddaughter of the Churchill family hadn't been fully leaked to the public yet.

If the truth got out, the number of people staging "accidental" encounters with her at Cabinda University would skyrocket.

Pests like Waylon Hudson would just be the tip of the iceberg.

"I know," Claire said, not showing the slightest bit of impatience at Norris's warning.

Lucinda covertly nudged Priscilla's shoulder.

"Is Norris superficial too?"

"Why is he only talking to Claire?"

Wasn't she pretty enough?

Or maybe just not gorgeous enough to catch his attention!

Priscilla subtly inched away. "Didn't you hear her call him her brother?"

"Isn't that just a kinky pet name?" Lucinda gasped, her eyes wide with shock.

As someone who lived on the front lines of campus gossip, she prided herself on knowing everything about the university's elite.

Who could have guessed that Claire and the notoriously aloof math professor were actually related?

"Wait a minute. If they're siblings, why didn't Claire enroll in the math department? What's she doing slumming it with us in med school?"

Priscilla's mouth twitched, and she immediately defaulted to sarcasm. "Maybe she just wanted a real challenge?"

Lucinda's mouth formed a perfect 'O'.

"These geniuses really know how to make life difficult for the rest of us."

Was there some unwritten rule against having two math prodigies in one family?

"Why are the academic elites so hardcore?"
