The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1761

"That woman looks exactly like the photo of my daughter-in-law from the investigation files."

"Barring some bizarre coincidence, that upperclassman with the broken leg is absolutely my grandson."

Even Queenie was stunned by the sheer improbability of it all.

She had barely set foot in the hotel and had already laid eyes on her daughter-in-law.

Both women were staying in the exact same hotel. If this wasn't fate, what was?

It wasn't just Yvette who was terrified of meeting her mother-in-law; Queenie was battling her own crippling nerves.

Even though the woman was family, they were complete strangers.

Thankfully, Yvette had already hurried inside, saving Queenie from having to decide whether to call out to her immediately.

"How did I look just now?"

Queenie smoothed her face and anxiously turned to Claire.

Claire fought the urge to laugh, offering a solemnly reassuring nod. "Don't worry. You looked incredibly imposing."

Flawless, honestly!

Queenie might act like a humorous, doting grandmother around Claire, but to the outside world, she radiated the energy of a ruthless empress.

After all, she was a self-made billionaire. Even looking a bit tired, she possessed a presence that no ordinary person could match.

"Since you already know my grandson, you've met him in person, right?"

Queenie quickly pushed aside her anxiety about first impressions.

Her daughter-in-law probably hadn't even noticed her anyway.

Tomorrow was the real battlefield.

"I have. He's incredibly talented. It's a tragedy he broke his leg when he did—he definitely would have won a medal at the international competition."

Claire knew Queenie's entire world revolved around this boy now, and what grandparent didn't love hearing their grandchild praised?

It wasn't empty flattery; it was simple social grace.

Queenie had always been extraordinarily generous with her, even handing her a massive red envelope for the holidays.

Offering some kind words was the absolute least she could do.
