The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1814

"Thank you. Thank you both so much."

Fannie's voice was small.

Norris didn't pay it much mind, but Claire instantly noticed the subtle shift in the woman's emotions.

"Honestly, Fannie, if you can't get out from under him, you should just find a new job."

"That Julian guy is pure scum."

"If he decides to make your life miserable, things are going to get unbearable."

"Plus, what if he starts harassing you after work? You'd never win a physical fight against him."

Claire didn't like assuming the worst about men, but Julian definitely deserved the suspicion.

Fannie was already weighing her options.

Julian was nothing but a bully high on his own power.

He had undoubtedly looked into her background beforehand.

Did anyone really need to explain how desperately a girl from an average family needed a prestigious job?

If she didn't want to be backed into a corner, her only choice was to submit to him.

Otherwise, what was she going to do? Beg this professor for help?

Norris's family background wasn't public knowledge. He kept a low profile, and Julian clearly had no idea who he was messing with.

In Julian's eyes, a university professor might have a few academic connections, but at the end of the day, he was just a glorified teacher.

He didn't view Norris as a threat at all.

That was exactly the problem with being a spoiled brat like Julian—he had failed to realize that the man eating dinner with them was the second-in-command of Cabinda.

He also failed to realize that his family's influence was less than nothing in a city like this.

He just hadn't crossed paths with true power yet. If he had, he would have been stomped into the dirt a long time ago.

"I'll definitely think about it."

In truth, the moment Julian had started making inappropriate advances, Fannie had begun plotting her exit strategy.

She had submitted an application to become a war correspondent overseas while quietly compiling a massive dossier of Julian's bribery, embezzlement, and abuse of power.
