The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 990

"I'm assuming you don't want the police showing up at your door?"

Claire's threat hit its mark instantly.

Gavin never expected a freshman to actually bring the cops into this.

"Fine, fine, I'm heading over now!"

He had been in the middle of cramming for assignments. He had partied so hard with his girlfriend over the break that he had completely forgotten about his homework.

Now, being rushed out to meet Claire and the others, he looked intensely annoyed.

But she had threatened to call the police.

He had no choice but to show up.

When Gavin arrived outside the library, radiating irritation, he was met by a whole group of girls.

He froze, completely thrown off.

"Are... all of you the ones who got scammed?"

Did this many people really fall for it?

Were they completely brainless?

"Only the two of them were scammed. The rest of us are just here for Lex."

Gavin scratched his head and proactively started explaining himself to Lex and the other girl.

"I swear I didn't scam you. I wasn't even in Cabinda over the break. I was traveling with my girlfriend."

"Check my Facebook. I posted photos from our trip."

To prove his innocence, Gavin opened the app on his phone and showed them his feed.

"My account got hijacked. It wasn't my fault. I admit, I didn't notice it in time, which led to your losses."

"But I'm just a broke college kid too. The trip wiped out all my savings, and now I have to pick up extra shifts myself just to afford food."

"So, while I really feel bad for you, there's absolutely no way I can cover your money."

"You need to figure out how to contact the boss of that job and see if they can give you the recruiter's real info."

"Go after the fake recruiter."

"If that doesn't work, just cut your losses this time and learn from your mistake, okay?"

Having said his piece, Gavin turned to leave. He was in a rush.

"There's no need to make it that complicated," Claire interrupted him. "I know how to track down exactly who posted that job."

"We can also start with the boss and trace exactly whose account the money was wired to."
