The Billionaire's True Heiress: From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 329

Claire slipped a handful of red envelopes into her bag as she left the Churchill family gathering. Even Tiffany, who never bothered to hide her dislike, ended up handing over a pretty generous one.

Yolande had gotten an envelope from the Churchills too, but Tiffany swooped in and gave it straight to Claire.

Claire grinned and didn’t even pretend to be shy about taking it. “Thank you, Tiffany.”

On the other side of the room, Iieana ran out of excuses. She stuffed the envelope her own daughter had received into Claire’s hands.

She couldn’t stand Claire. In her eyes, the girl was just a nobody from the countryside, yet somehow she’d managed to steal the brilliant prospect that Iieana had picked out for her own daughter.

“I honestly didn’t even know you existed before this, Claire. Hope you’re not offended by the amount,” Iieana said stiffly, practically shoving the envelope at her.

Claire thanked her with the same easy smile. “Thank you, Iieana.” She only called her that because her cousins did. It sounded a little strange, but nobody seemed to mind.

Iieana managed a tight smile, then waited until Claire and Dane stepped out before pulling Ophelia aside.

“Ophelia, seriously. Dane is such a catch. Why didn’t you introduce him to Irma?”

“Claire is way too young. How could she ever hold on to a guy like Dane? Irma makes more sense. She and Dane went to the same school, same major, they’d actually have things to talk about.”

Ophelia’s face grew colder. “Iieana, Irma is amazing. You think she can’t find someone on her own?”

“But I was interested in Dane for her. The whole reason I came today was because I was hoping you’d make the introduction.” Iieana wasn’t backing down. “You really let Claire swoop in and steal Irma’s perfect match.”
