The Billionaire's True Heiress: From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 244

Dane wasn’t the type to pressure anyone. “Alright, just call me when you have time.”

With that, the two groups went their separate ways.

Nanette was still swooning, watching Dane walk off. “Claire, I can’t believe you actually know a guy that good-looking.”

Claire laughed. “It’s not really me who knows him. It’s my grandma.”

Nanette rested her chin in her hands, dreamy-eyed. “Why couldn’t my grandma know someone like that? If she did, maybe she could have arranged a blind date for me.”

Claire couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “Blind dates aren’t always with handsome guys, you know. What if she set you up with someone ugly?”

Nanette immediately thought of Carr—short, dark, and not at all attractive. Just imagining it sent a shiver down her spine. “Forget it, I’m good. I don’t need a blind date after all.”

Meanwhile, Dane and Latonia headed off to the restaurant. It wasn’t just the two of them; some old friends were meeting up too. In fact, they hadn’t even planned to arrive together. They just happened to bump into each other downstairs. If it was just Latonia, Dane probably wouldn’t have agreed to come.

At the table, Latonia leaned over. “Dane, what kind of competition is that girl in?”

“Is she into art or something? She’s pretty cute.” One of their friends chimed in, curiosity piqued.

Latonia figured Dane was only being nice to Claire because of Baldrick. If Baldrick knew her, Dane probably felt obligated to be friendly.

“Math competition,” Dane replied, not understanding why people always assumed Claire was into art. If anything, she seemed more like the medical type.

“A math competition?” Latonia was genuinely surprised. “Wow, she must be seriously smart.”

“Yeah.”

Dane clearly didn’t feel like talking about it, so Latonia let the topic drop and changed the subject.

The two of them entered the private dining room one after the other. Inside, there were seven or eight friends, guys and girls all chatting away.
