The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1609

"I told him, I told him. If I hadn't, he really would've rushed to Cabinda."

Barry had already applied to attend a medical conference.

And where was it? Cabinda. It was obvious he had done it just to check on Claire.

So, even though Ethan told him, it was a bit too late.

More accurately, Claire had returned a bit too late.

Just as Ethan finished speaking, his phone rang. It was Barry.

"Ethan, are you out of class yet?"

"Yes, Dad." Ethan thought it was a stupid question. If he wasn't out of class, would he have answered his phone?

His dad would have chewed him out.

Though Barry seemed gentle, he was incredibly strict with his only son.

"Good. Is Claire out of class too?" Barry's real motive was immediately laid bare.

"I'm standing right next to her. Do you want to talk to her, Dad?"

Barry hadn't expected such perfect timing.

"Yes, hand her the phone."

Over the line, Barry first asked about Claire's health before announcing that he had arrived in Cabinda and was waiting right outside the university gates.

"Claire, come grab lunch with Ethan and me."

"It's been a while since we've caught up."

"Our team has made significant progress in our bone cancer research. I'm here for the conference, but I also plan to present our findings."

"There'll be a seminar afterward. If you're interested, you should join us."

To have major results in less than a year proved just how incredible Barry's team was.

And Claire had undoubtedly played a massive role in that success.

Though she downplayed her contributions, Barry would never forget the vital part she played.
