The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 829

The two of them walked out together, looking like a match made in heaven.

Watching them go, Achilles felt even more uneasy.

He decided to test the waters. "The Churchill granddaughter is absolutely stunning. She looks quite a bit like her mother."

"She does resemble Melissa, but she takes after her father as well," Baldrick replied casually.

Achilles noted that Baldrick didn't show the slightest hint of resentment when mentioning Melissa.

That in itself spoke volumes.

"From the sound of it, you know her father?" Achilles probed.

Baldrick didn't deny it. "I've heard of him, but we've never formally met."

"Padgett mentioned him."

Achilles grew increasingly worried. The fact that the two families hadn't become bitter enemies over Melissa's runaway bride stunt meant there was a massive chance the elders were actively setting up Dane and Claire.

Where did that leave Latonia?

"Dane isn't getting any younger. Is he seeing anyone?" Achilles pivoted the conversation smoothly.

"You'd have to ask him. The younger generation has their own lives, and I try to stay out of his business," Baldrick deflected, not wanting to say too much.

As far as he was concerned, his grandson and Claire were already practically married.

He used to think Dane was clueless about romance, but look at how long he had stayed in Apex!

It would be ridiculous to think Claire had nothing to do with it.

Baldrick was thrilled to see things unfolding this way; he couldn't be happier.

"Young people certainly have their own ideas. Take my granddaughter, for instance. She insisted on going abroad to chase her dreams."

"The moment she left, I started worrying she might bring back a foreign husband."

"But seeing how laser-focused she is on her studies, now I'm terrified she'll never date at all."

"She's your girl, it's completely natural to worry," Baldrick sympathized, fully understanding his old friend's anxiety.

He was well aware that Latonia had a massive crush on his grandson.
