The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 746

"Claire, my mom said that once I get into the same college as you, my dad will come back," Jim said.

Claire had no idea what Jim's mother had told the little boy.

She could only offer him an encouraging smile.

"As long as you study hard, getting into the same school as me won't be a problem at all."

Jim clenched his little fists. "I'll do my best! Mom said if I graduate at the top of my class, she's going to throw a massive block party for three days straight so everyone in town can share the good luck."

Claire knew she could never survive a three-day rager.

But looking at the kid's determination, she figured his mother would absolutely keep that promise.

Time spent in the countryside always felt fleeting and idyllic; Padgett enjoyed the scenery so much he was considering extending his stay.

However, on the night The Ivy Gala concluded, Karla received a frantic phone call—one of her top stars had been filming in Apex when a stunt harness snapped, sending her plummeting to the ground.

Karla had only come out here to celebrate her niece's academic success, but now chaos had completely derailed her plans.

"Hold on, I'm heading over right now."

The frantic voice on the other end belonged to Trixie, the assistant to her artist, Sienna Darwin.

Sienna was a newly crowned Best Actress, but her foothold in the brutal industry was still unstable.

She was notoriously dedicated on set, always willing to do her own stunts as long as they weren't wildly dangerous.

She was a lot like Oakley in that regard.

Industry insiders used to joke that Karla and the talents she managed shared the exact same DNA.

They were all relentless workaholics.

Karla always took that as a massive compliment.

Every star under her wing hustled tirelessly.
