The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 976

Skye linked her arm through Lex's.

Their dorm was a tight-knit unit, and Skye didn't want Lex feeling insecure about her appearance.

Zara chimed in. "I'm a pro at makeovers. I can help too, and you can borrow any of my makeup!"

The wealthy heiress certainly had the budget for it.

She had initially wanted to just buy Lex a whole new vanity set, but stopped herself, worried it might hurt the other girl's pride.

She had learned most of these social graces from Connie.

Left to her own devices, Zara could be notoriously blunt.

"Thank you, guys." Lex was touched by her friends' support, but she had zero interest in wasting time on getting dressed up.

"I want to use my free time to study and actually learn things."

"I'll figure out makeup after I graduate." Lex offered a modest, grounded smile.

Claire didn't push the issue, knowing Lex clearly had her own life plan.

But both Skye and Zara felt that neglecting her looks now was a tragic waste of her youth.

It was a waste of the best years of college.

"Lex, are you really not going to try?"

"Don't you want to experience an epic romance while we're in college?"

Skye was still very much a hopeless romantic.

"What good is an epic romance?"

"I just want to build a massive bank account."

Lex looked like a monk who had completely detached from worldly desires.

Skye and Zara were utterly speechless.

"Making money doesn't stop you from dating," Skye said, thoroughly confused.

"If we look our best, wouldn't that open more doors to success anyway?"

Lex didn't know how to respond to that logic.

Claire gently nudged Skye. "Leave her alone for now. She just hasn't flipped that switch yet."

"Once she meets someone she actually likes, she'll naturally want to dress up."
