The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1791

"What are you looking at?"

Claire turned her head and saw a couple sitting together.

The woman was acting incredibly delicate, leaning intimately into the man's chest while he playfully fed her bites of steak.

Claire raised an eyebrow. "Do you know the guy or the girl?"

She didn't suspect for a single second that Dane was just checking out a pretty woman.

Hearing her, Dane pulled his gaze back. "That woman is Lincoln's girlfriend."

After saying that, he immediately texted the restaurant's address to Lincoln, telling him to come over.

Lincoln was still at the office working overtime. Being summoned by his boss meant he had to drop everything and rush over.

Lincoln was already capable enough to run things on his own. Dane had actually been considering sending him to manage an overseas branch, setting him up for a massive promotion and a pay raise.

However, he would need to spend a few years grinding abroad first.

As the trusted right-hand man to the CEO of Vertex International, taking that posting meant his career path was golden; things would only go up from there.

But Lincoln had hesitated.

He had told Dane that his girlfriend was about to graduate, and he wanted to settle down and give her a home.

Because of that, he didn't want to leave the country for the next couple of years.

To Dane, sending him sooner or later didn't make a huge difference.

But by passing up this rare, immediate opportunity, Lincoln was forcing Dane to give the position to someone else.

And it was impossible to say when Lincoln would get another chance like this.

Once he got married, he'd have to juggle his career with family responsibilities.

There was no telling if his future wife would become even more demanding of his time.

Unless, of course, he chose a partner who unconditionally supported his ambitions.

Given the current situation playing out across the room, Dane felt that while it might be a brutal blow to Lincoln, it could actually be a blessing in disguise.

Otherwise, was Lincoln supposed to get married, fly overseas, and immediately get cheated on?

Judging by how his girlfriend was acting right now, if they ever had a kid, Lincoln would probably need a DNA paternity test.

"Did you tell him?"
