The Billionaire's True Heiress: From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 333

“Claire, you and Jenny knew each other before all this, didn’t you?”

Edison was sharp, head of VIA Group for a reason.

“What are you talking about, Edison?” Claire leaned back, trying to dodge the question.

“If you and Jenny weren’t close, why did SUNNY immediately call to cancel their partnership with our mall after you got treated unfairly?”

Edison’s argument was seamless. “After you found out it was our family’s mall, you called Jenny, didn’t you?”

That explained why Edison got a call from Jenny that night, and how VIA Metropolis ended up landing the deal.

“Jenny’s attitude always mirrors yours.”

“And when I picked you up in Cabinda, you were wearing SUNNY too.”

SUNNY hadn’t even launched in Solenia yet, but Claire owned several pieces, and all of them were special releases from different years.

Claire grinned. “You got me. Jenny and I met when I was studying abroad.”

“You really know how to keep a secret,” Edison joked.

He honestly wasn’t upset with her.

From his perspective, she’d used her connections to stand up for herself, and even managed to put pressure on the mall. He thought it was smart.

“What’s the big deal? Everyone has friends,” Claire replied, then closed her eyes, drifting off for a nap.

By the time they reached home, it was past midnight.

Dogs in the village barked like crazy as Edison dropped Claire off at the old family house.

Pandora heard the noise and came to open the door.

“Pandora,” Edison said respectfully as soon as he saw her.

“You must be tired, Edison. Come in, have some hot tea,” Pandora said, welcoming them inside.

The house was already filled with the scent of ginger tea.

Edison downed a bowl, and so did Claire.

Soon after, Edison headed to his own place for some rest.

Claire sat up a little longer, updating Pandora on her visits to the Churchill and Green families.

“That was the right thing to do. If you’re already in Cabinda, it makes sense to pay those visits.”
