The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 219

"Carr, you should apologize to Claire. This really was your fault."

Fletcher could feel the tension getting worse. More and more people were turning against Carr, so he quickly stepped in, trying to calm things down.

Everyone here was a student at the winter camp. Back at their own schools, they were probably the top of their class, used to being the best. Now, surrounded by so many other bright kids, it was only natural that some of them felt a little off-balance.

Carr’s behavior wasn’t something Fletcher understood, but he couldn’t say it was shocking either. Every year, there were always a few students who tried to play dirty to get one of those six coveted spots. Most people here were only focused on doing their best, not on sabotaging others. But there always seemed to be a few weird cases.

"I…" Carr hesitated, clearly not wanting to apologize. But with everyone watching, including the teachers, he clenched his jaw, lowered his head, and muttered, "Sorry, Claire. I was talking nonsense. Please don’t be mad."

The truth was, Carr was more scared that Claire would report him to the police. She didn’t look like someone you could push around. If she went to the police, he might actually have to explain himself at the station. He wasn’t worried about jail, but he was terrified about what it would do to his reputation. He was supposed to be the pride of his school.

Claire didn’t say anything right away. She just looked at Carr, and the longer she stared, the more nervous he got. His scalp tingled, and his heart started pounding. Was she really going to call the cops?

Carr broke into a cold sweat. "I really know I was wrong. Please, don’t call the police!"

Everyone finally understood. Carr was only apologizing because he was scared of getting in trouble, not because he actually felt bad. Did he even realize why what he did was wrong?

People started to worry. If Carr went after Claire today, who would he target next? There were only six spots, and the competition was intense.

Even the guys who shared a dorm with Carr started feeling uneasy, wondering if he might pull something sneaky on them too.
