The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1828

"Besides, her official security detail is still active, which means she's still a high-priority target."

"I am completely dedicated to protecting her. Unlike you girls, who spend all day drooling over pretty boys."

Jace was feeling incredibly righteous—until he looked up and found Rory standing directly over him, a predatory glare in her eyes.

"Uh, Rory? Why are you staring at me like that?"

Don't think just because you're older, I'm scared of you!

"Do you want to lose some teeth?" Rory raised a fist, and Jace instantly cowered.

While the two brawled playfully in the living room, Claire was curled up in the study, quietly devouring a book.

Shirley was flying into Cabinda this Friday, and Claire had promised to pick her up from the airport.

Sophia and Len were tagging along too.

The new couple had been practically superglued together lately.

Claire had originally just invited Sophia, but Len stubbornly invited himself.

To be fair, Sophia and Len looked picture-perfect together—the tall, classically handsome guy paired with a fierce little powerhouse.

But the second they opened their mouths, the dynamic flipped—it was an absolute boss babe and her hopelessly devoted lapdog.

The chaos only intensified when they scooped Shirley up from arrivals.

"My place is way too cramped. Why don't we crash at Pandora's estate for the night?"

Claire had offered to put Shirley up in a five-star hotel, but Shirley aggressively refused and demanded a sleepover.

Once Shirley claimed a spot, Sophia dramatically pouted until she was included.

How could Claire say no when the boss babe resorted to weaponized whining?

Sophia would have held a grudge for the next decade.

As for Len, he wisely kept his mouth shut.

As a guy, he knew better than to invite himself into a girl's sleepover; he figured he'd just head back to campus.
