The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1618

"I'll be right there. Give me twenty minutes."

Dane was already on the road.

He had been scheduled for a business dinner, but things had taken an ugly turn when the CEO he was meeting brought along his daughter, who had just returned from studying abroad.

The man's intentions were painfully obvious.

Dane had immediately stood up and walked out.

The CEO's daughter, whose face was clearly pumped full of fillers, had absolutely zero self-awareness. Did she really think just any woman could bag the most eligible bachelor in the corporate world?

Especially when Dane had already publicly announced his engagement.

What did the client mean by pulling this stunt?

Dane had bluntly asked the man if he was just pimping out his own daughter.

Dane made it clear he wasn't buying, and suggested the man find a client willing to pay the price.

The CEO hadn't expected Dane to be so deeply offended by his daughter's presence.

He genuinely thought his daughter was quite a catch. Aside from his slight disapproval of her plastic surgery, she was a highly impressive woman.

But Dane acted like a completely heartless machine.

Not only did he reject the gesture, he burned the bridge instantly.

Did the man graduate from a monastery?

Just because he was engaged didn't mean he couldn't share a meal with another woman!

The CEO had originally planned to use his daughter to secure a deeper partnership with Vertex International, but the scheme completely backfired.

Now, the entire deal was dead in the water.

Regardless of the client's outrage, Dane left without a second thought.

Instead of suffering through a miserable dinner, he'd rather take Claire out for an incredible meal.

But now, Dane was thrilled he had made the call.
