The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1782

She was the absolute pillar of The James Village; nothing could happen to her!

As fate would have it, Dewitt had returned to the country for a business deal and had a few days to spare in Cabinda.

He hurried over to wait on Pandora, doing his absolute utmost to ensure she wouldn't dwell on any unpleasant memories during her stay in the city.

Hearing how overly cautious Dewitt was being, Claire honestly suspected he was making a mountain out of a molehill.

She didn't think the older woman was the type to wallow in the past.

"I'll be mindful of it too," Claire promised. Since Dewitt had made such a point of it, as the biological granddaughter, she had to pay even closer attention to Pandora's emotional state.

"Alright."

Dewitt didn't say much else and hung up the phone.

Claire pocketed her phone and looked at Dane. "You can go tomorrow. I'll sit this one out."

Dane nodded. He had overheard fragments of Claire's conversation with Dewitt.

"Should we arrange a full tour of Cabinda for her?"

"The city has changed drastically from what it used to be."

Dane shared Claire's train of thought: as long as they kept the older woman's itinerary packed, she wouldn't have time to reminisce.

"I don't think she needs all that," Claire said, firmly believing Pandora was a profoundly strong person.

"We'll do as you say then," Dane agreed easily.

Although Dewitt had spent far more time with Pandora, Claire was her own flesh and blood; her read on the older woman was bound to be different from everyone else's.

Besides, he felt that Claire and Pandora were actually remarkably similar in spirit.

Otherwise, the two wouldn't have bonded so quickly after eighteen years apart, relying on blood ties alone.

Mary was also in the car with them.

However, she was like an invisible presence, not uttering a single word.

Mary rarely drank, but perhaps because she was in such high spirits tonight, she had a glass. Now, she was fast asleep in the passenger seat.
