The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1614

As soon as Claire walked into her apartment, she was instantly swarmed by her friends.

Since Lex Grant hadn't gone home for winter break, she had taken on extra shifts and made a decent amount of money. She had bought a bunch of premium fruit for everyone to share.

They hadn't formally celebrated Claire's safe return yet, so they decided tonight was the night.

Lex bought the fruit, Zara Zeller ordered fancy desserts, and Skylar Sommers bought a ton of hotpot ingredients.

"We were going to do an indoor BBQ in the dorm, but my slow cooker is way too small. I usually just use it for ramen," Lex explained.

To save money, Lex had bought a tiny slow cooker that could barely feed two people.

Using appliances like that was strictly against dorm rules.

But as long as no one complained, they usually got away with it.

Claire knew exactly which tiny pot she was talking about. Trying to cook a massive feast in that thing would be a nightmare.

Plus, the smell of a tabletop grill and savory broth would seep into everything. If a dorm inspector caught a whiff, they'd all be written up.

"Let's just do it at my place," Claire suggested.

"Yes! Perfect! I can still change the delivery address for the groceries!" Skylar agreed instantly.

Claire saw right through them.

They had probably wanted to use her place from the start but were too polite to ask.

The dorm was just their backup plan.

Claire's apartment was spacious and fully equipped—obviously the best choice.

Thankfully, Claire didn't mind at all.

She had a cleaning service come in regularly, so it was infinitely more convenient than the cramped dorms.

If they got reported in the dorms, it would be a huge headache.

"Claire, you're a lifesaver!"

"I'll have my family's chef send over some premium cuts of meat. The stuff Skylar bought is fine for a dorm, but not nearly enough for your place."

Seeing how excited they were, Claire didn't want to ruin the mood.

"Let's prep everything later tonight. Don't you guys have afternoon classes?"
