The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1816

If she had used the opportunity to ask him if she could stay at his place, it would have been incredibly presumptuous.

Manipulative women were clearly not his type.

Claire sighed dramatically. "Ugh, I just wonder what kind of girl a man with a heart of stone will actually fall for."

She was genuinely curious!

"I actually think this Fannie girl has a real shot."

Mary loved gossiping about young people's romances. Even at her age, she had zero generational divide with them.

At the hospital, she was always humorous and engaging with her patients, earning widespread adoration and glowing reviews.

"Why do you say that?" Claire's possessiveness over Dane heavily outweighed her romantic awareness.

She admired Dane on so many levels, but she hadn't quite grasped where the flutter of first love began.

What she didn't realize was that her possessiveness was actually a form of love.

"Didn't you just say his heart was as hard as granite?"

"He's already softened his stance toward her. Is falling for her really that far off?"

Furthermore, the fact that Fannie hadn't clung to him or manipulated the situation would only elevate his respect for her.

Just wait and see. Norris was definitely going to start helping her proactively.

Whether it was because she was an old schoolmate or because she had loved him silently for years without ever being a burden.

She was a girl who deserved to be loved.

Fannie was brilliant in her own right, just dealt a terrible hand by getting stuck with a boss like Julian.

And since the Quincy family had real influence, if Julian truly locked his sights on her, she would have suffered immensely.

Now that Norris had stepped in, it guaranteed he would start paying closer attention to her moving forward.

Claire gave Mary a massive thumbs-up. "Wow. Experience really does breed wisdom!"

"Oh, you." Mary poked Claire in the forehead.
