The One He Dismissed Became The One He Died For novel Chapter 152

Miles replied with a single word. [Willingly.]

Claire stood up to excuse herself and returned to her class reunion room.

The crowd had grown tired waiting to watch the drama unfold.

Seeing her return, murmurs broke out across the room.

"Claire, are you okay?" Cynthia rushed over. "Did those people give you a hard time?"

"No, they were actually quite friendly."

Claire walked up to Sienna Sutton, took out her phone, and opened her friend request page.

Mr. Whittaker — Eastside Realty

Lucas Lambert — Summit Airways

Caleb Vance — Zenith Steel

...

There were seven names in total, all heavyweight figures in Empire City's elite circle, and they had all initiated the request to add Claire.

"Sienna, you can apologize to Cynthia now."

"Impossible. It's fake. This has to be fake!" Sienna's face turned pale as she stared intensely at the screen.

"Of course it's fake. Little girl, where did you hire these actors? How could these people possibly add your contact?"

A deep, middle-aged male voice rang out from the doorway.

Sienna looked like she had just seen her savior, throwing herself at him with a sweet cry. "Honey, you're finally here."

"She made up a bunch of fake contacts and tried to force me to apologize."

The man glanced at Claire, his smile dripping with mockery.

"I run a company and have hustled in the Empire City business scene for years, and even I haven't managed to get a single word with those men. You expect us to believe you know them?"

The crowd eagerly chimed in.

"Yeah, she just sells clothes. Those men handle billion-dollar deals on the regular. Why would they add her?"

"Look at the source of the request, it's from a group chat. It's totally fake!"
