The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1790

"Class over?"

"Yeah, I'm getting ready to head home." Claire had a bit of free time today and planned to go back and research how to better condition Lucas Charles's body before his surgery.

"Don't go home yet. I'm almost at your campus gates. Let's go out to eat."

Dane was practically already there; how could she possibly say no?

"Alright, come over. I'll wait for you at the entrance to my neighborhood."

She chose to wait at her neighborhood entrance instead of the campus gates purely to avoid drawing attention.

However, she never expected that even at the neighborhood entrance, she couldn't escape the gossiping aunties.

But that was a story for later.

"Sounds good."

Dane was driving himself today. His chauffeur had clocked out, so he came to find Claire alone.

He actually really enjoyed the feeling of driving to pick her up himself.

It felt like he was just finishing work and coming to pick her up from school, like their daily lives were naturally weaving together.

On the way, Dane brought up the girl who had crashed into her with the skateboard.

Valerie Winthrop was basically political royalty. Her father was second only to Waylon Hudson's father.

Mr. Hudson was the man in charge, making Valerie's father the Deputy Mayor.

Mr. Winthrop was considered incredibly young for such a high-ranking position.

Having that kind of background meant that climbing to his current rank wasn't just about competence; it required immense financial backing.

"Valerie is Mr. Winthrop's only daughter."

Claire was genuinely surprised. Was Cabinda really this small?

A random girl who crashed into her on the street turned out to have such a massive background.

"Mr. Winthrop utterly dotes on his daughter, but rumor has it she's been a magnet for trouble since she was little."
