The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1611

"Who is that older man getting out of the car? He kind of looks like Ethan."

"And there's a younger guy with them too. They all look really familiar with each other."

Tabitha and Lily chattered back and forth, successfully making Macy increasingly anxious.

She had brought them along for backup, not to stress herself out.

Now, it felt like she had shot herself in the foot.

"Are they meeting the parents?" Tabitha, the resident loudmouth, gasped in shock.

Macy immediately shut it down. "Impossible. Doesn't Claire have a fiancé?"

Even though Macy constantly felt like Claire was stringing Ethan along, she aggressively hoped they wouldn't end up together.

Ethan was such a great guy—how could he be fooled by someone like Claire?

Was it just because she was pretty?

Macy was pretty too!

People were funny like that. They rarely believed they were inferior to others.

They always looked for flaws in everyone else, never pausing to reflect on themselves.

"Oh, right. Claire is engaged. I heard she and her fiancé are from the same city. Maybe Claire just knows Ethan's family from back home."

"That would explain why Ethan is always so nice to her."

Macy's eyes lit up. "Exactly! It's probably just a family connection."

"Ethan is a gentleman. It's completely normal for him to look out for a girl if his parents asked him to."

Lily couldn't help but roll her eyes privately.

From what she knew about men, no guy was that obedient when it came to 'looking out for a girl.'

Unless, of course, he actually had feelings for her.

"There's another guy with them, so it's definitely not a meet-the-parents situation. Just a casual lunch. Wonder where they're going," Macy muttered, trying to sound nonchalant.

"Where else? There are only a few good spots near campus. Why don't we follow them and see?" Lily suggested, her eyes gleaming with mischief.
