The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 821

The SUNNY gala wrapped up, and Claire headed out with Shirley and Sophia.

Shirley's two fake friends spotted her and immediately started pointing and whispering.

Since the three of them had indulged in plenty of desserts inside, they were feeling comfortably full.

"Shirley, I know your family is broke now, but surely you don't have to resort to scamming free food at a place like this?" Amelia scoffed, eager to humiliate her.

"Who's scamming free food? I have an invitation. Do you?" Shirley waved the elegant card in front of their faces.

Amelia and Beatrice stared in sheer disbelief. "That's impossible. Who gave you that?"

They had snuck in themselves and assumed Shirley had done the same. They had even considered reporting her, but decided to let it slide out of pity for their past friendship, settling for a quick round of mockery instead. They never expected her to have a legitimate pass.

"Don't worry about who gave it to me, but it's clearly better than whatever you two pulled," Shirley retorted, secretly assuming Claire had gotten it from Jenny.

After all, Jenny was Edison's girlfriend and the regional head for SUNNY in Solenia. Getting a few invites would be child's play for her.

"So what if you have an invite? Can you even afford a single piece of clothing from SUNNY now?" Beatrice sneered, convinced Shirley was just putting up a front. Having an invitation meant nothing when she couldn't afford the cheapest item on display today. And if she couldn't afford it, Claire—the fake heiress—certainly couldn't either.

"Who says I can't afford—" Shirley started, but Claire cut her off smoothly.

"You can't afford it, but maybe your two good friends here could gift you a couple of outfits."

"You've given them plenty of expensive gifts in the past. It's about time they returned the favor." Claire turned her gaze to Amelia and Beatrice. "Don't you agree?"

Like hell they did. Amelia and Beatrice were caught completely off guard, utterly appalled that Claire was trying to fleece them. Did she have no shame?
