The One He Dismissed Became The One He Died For novel Chapter 70

They immediately assumed she was just another gold-digging hack designer desperate to network, someone who had likely slept her way into the building.

Refusing to cower, Claire stared back with absolute icy calm. "No thanks. I prefer the quality of my own work."

Just then, near the ballroom entrance.

Miles appeared in a flawless, tailored black suit. The clinical detachment of his hospital persona vanished, replaced entirely by the crushing, aristocratic dominance of a true billionaire heir.

The second he stepped into the room, he commanded the absolute attention of every single person present.

Under the terrified stares of the crowd, he bypassed everyone and stopped directly in front of Claire. His voice softened entirely. "Didn't I tell you to wait for me? Why did you come in alone?"

A beautiful, triumphant smile blossomed on Claire's lips.

Yvonne was utterly paralyzed. "U-Uncle Miles..."

"Mm," Miles grunted, dismissing her with a careless nod.

"Yvonne, you don't need to concern yourself with the wardrobe or the business connections of the woman I brought with me."

Humiliated in front of the city's highest society, Yvonne's face turned a sickening shade of gray.

Jefferson gritted his teeth, forcing out a pathetic greeting. "Mr. Zimmerman..."

He stared at Miles, absolute horror washing over him as the billionaire's imposing frame perfectly matched the shadow from the photo!

His eyes darkened with pure, murderous hatred.

Claire had actually seduced his future uncle-in-law?!

"Are you hungry? The dessert bar is open. Let's get you something sweet," Miles murmured, casually leading Claire away from the wreckage.

The surrounding elite crowd was practically hyperventilating from shock.

The man escorting the supposedly 'pathetic' designer was none other than the legendary heir of the Zimmerman empire!

She didn't need Yvonne's pathetic scraps! Standing next to Miles, Claire was literally a walking goldmine!

Getting on her good side meant securing a direct line to Miles Zimmerman himself.
