The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 858

It was blatantly obvious that this newly arrived couple was not to be messed with!

"Good. Now get the hell out of here," Tilda snapped mercilessly.

Buzz knew better than to argue and scurried away immediately.

"Since we're all here, Claire, why don't you join us for a late-night bite?"

Claire was actually pretty full from dinner earlier.

"I'm good, actually..."

She started to decline, but Cami cut her off. "Yes! You absolutely have to come. We haven't even properly thanked you yet."

Cami grabbed Claire's arm and gave it a playful shake.

Tilda and Van immediately chimed in to persuade her.

"We won't go anywhere fancy. Just some street-side BBQ ribs. Van and I know a spot that's incredible."

"Come on, please! I love their ribs too. It's the best," Cami pleaded, completely refusing to let Claire off the hook.

Feeling cornered, Claire shot a helpless look over at Owen.

Tilda and Van didn't know him, but knowing he was with Claire, they quickly invited him along.

Owen could tell that this couple had some serious clout, but he didn't overthink it.

He was a businessman, after all. More friends meant more opportunities.

So, he looked at Claire. "I'm down if you are. It's up to you."

Not having an objection was basically a yes.

Claire simply nodded in agreement.

Van had already been discharged from the hospital and was practically fully recovered.

They ordered a mountain of BBQ ribs and even tried to grab a couple of beers to toast Claire for her help.

"That's really not necessary. We can just toast with water," Claire suggested.

Claire knew enough about Van's medical history to know that skipping alcohol and avoiding anything too spicy was the smartest move for him right now.

But Van was built tough, and his recovery had been remarkably fast.

If he hadn't bounced back so quickly, there was no way he'd be sitting here tonight.
