The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 200

Claire said it like it was no big deal.

Everyone else just stared at her, completely stunned.

“Why wouldn’t they let you go to the winter camp?” Fletcher finally asked, looking like he couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

If Claire was telling the truth, her adoptive mom was seriously suspicious. First, she tried to stop Claire from signing up for the camp. When that didn’t work, she went straight to reporting her. And not just that—she blasted Claire online, accusing her of cheating and claiming she’d gotten the answers ahead of time. She even swore she was going to get into the camp herself.

Her report sounded so convincing that people online started demanding a full investigation. Some were even insisting Claire shouldn’t be allowed to go to the camp at all, saying she’d stolen someone else’s spot.

In just a single day, Claire’s name was everywhere, and the hate was nonstop. People were calling her a thief. First, she’d supposedly stolen the “heiress of the James family” identity, and now, she was stealing someone’s future too.

If things didn’t calm down online, there was a real chance Claire would actually lose her spot at the winter camp.

“It’s because her biological daughter transferred to Silverpeak,” Claire explained, sounding almost bored. “She couldn’t keep up with the classes and got really stressed out.”

Everyone just gaped at her.

“If I go to the camp, there’s a chance I’ll get straight into Cabinda University after. That made Cindy upset. She cried at home every day and even got depressed.”

“My adoptive mom said I’d get into college anyway, so it didn’t matter if I skipped the camp. She wanted me to give Cindy six months. Maybe she’ll catch up by then.”

Claire talked about it like it was nothing. The rest of them, though, were fuming.

Fletcher’s face turned dark. “That’s ridiculous.”

“This is a competition. What does she think it is?”

“She wants you to drop out just so her own daughter doesn’t feel so much pressure? What does she take you for?”

Lemuel could barely contain his anger. “You got into the winter camp because you earned it. If Cindy’s grades aren’t good enough, she should work harder!”

“We can’t just stop the whole class because one person can’t keep up, right?”
