The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1726

Yorick enthusiastically waved goodbye, laying on the charm thick.

It was only after Claire disappeared around the corner that he remembered Yolande was still standing right beside him.

He turned to find her staring at him with an intensely weird expression.

"Yolande, what's with the look?"

"The way you just fawned over my cousin made you look like a servant begging for table scraps."

"I was just admiring the lack of dignity."

Yorick's expression briefly twisted in fury before he forced it back into a smooth mask.

"Yolande, are you jealous? I just thought her advice was genuinely helpful."

"I was just showing my appreciation. There's nothing more to it."

Yolande let out a scoff of pure disbelief. "Jealous? You and I aren't even together."

"And secondly, do you honestly think she was trying to be helpful?"

Yorick, of course, knew Claire had been mocking him relentlessly.

But he would rather die than admit that out loud.

"Why wouldn't it be? She and I don't even know each other. Why would she randomly insult me?"

Yolande stared at him. *Why wouldn't she?*

*She was blatantly calling you out for being an arrogant hypocrite.*

"Right. Why would she bother? She barely even knows you exist," Yolande agreed dryly.

That hit Yorick right in his inflated ego. He fancied himself something of a celebrity in the arts department, and it stung to hear that Claire had never even heard of him.

"Yolande, I actually think we should audition for that show together," he pressed on, pivoting smoothly.

"You're gorgeous, you dance flawlessly, and you play instruments. You'd absolutely dominate reality TV."

Yolande looked at him like he had lost his mind. "You want me to throw away a guaranteed spot in the national dance company to go compete on a trashy idol show?"

That was exactly what Yorick wanted, but he wasn't stupid enough to say it out loud.

If he couldn't get into the prestigious company, he sure as hell didn't want her getting in either.
