The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1657

"I understand. You accidentally found out that I know Dewitt."

Claire was straight to the point.

"Exactly! If it's too much trouble, please just forget I asked."

He was here to ask for a business partnership, not make enemies, so he made sure to keep his tone respectful and soft.

"It's no trouble at all. Give me a second."

Dewitt hadn't been in touch recently, and she had no idea what he was up to.

"Dewitt," Claire said as the call was picked up almost instantly.

"Claire, is everything okay? Why are you calling right now?"

Dewitt was currently in Montara.

Stephen James was tracing some sleeper agents left behind by The Daybreak Syndicate near the border, and Dewitt had tagged along as his assistant.

In certain areas, Stephen's official background made investigations difficult, but Dewitt's cover was perfect.

The locals wouldn't hide information from a wealthy businessman looking to throw cash around.

"Dewitt, I have a friend who heard you run mining operations over in Kaston. He wants to talk business with you."

"Your friend?" Dewitt was genuinely surprised.

Claire's usual circle of friends shouldn't have the kind of connections to know his true profession.

Unless Claire had explicitly told them.

But he knew her well enough to know she wouldn't just volunteer that information.

"Yeah, he's a friend of Dane's." Claire didn't hide the truth.

Dane chuckled to himself. She was incredibly quick to pass the buck when she needed to.

"Sure. I'm in Montara right now, but I'll be heading back to Cabinda in a couple of days."

"Get his contact info, and I'll reach out to him then."

"Or, if he's right there with you, put him on the phone and I'll have a quick chat with him now."

Dewitt wasn't going to turn this down.

This was an excellent opportunity.

Showing his face and his influence would ensure no one ever dared to look down on the girl from his family.

Especially not in front of Dane's friends!

This was entirely different from the protection the Churchill family provided her.
