The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 587

Dewitt spotted Kendrick and flashed a grin.

“Kendrick, what a surprise running into you. Chasing after some premium goods again? Looks like you've already had a pretty good day.”

Kendrick laughed, brushing it off. “Premium goods? Nah, I’m just here for fun.”

Dewitt’s attention shifted to Claire and her friends. “And who are they?” It looked odd. Kendrick, of all people, blocking a bunch of kids. What was he up to?

Kendrick was quick to explain. “Just following up on a debt, but the debtor’s son went and sold the collateral to someone else.”

Dewitt’s eyes lit up. “Then it must be something special.”

Anything that could get snatched up so fast probably caught Kendrick’s eye for a reason. Dewitt felt his own competitive streak spark to life.

Kendrick had “borrowed” from his stash in Kaston plenty of times. Dewitt had tried tripping him up now and then, but it never felt like enough. Now, back home, he’d just been goofing around, but if Kendrick wanted the same thing he did, there was no way Dewitt was letting it go without a fight.

Pandora used to say, “Don’t pick fights, but don’t let anyone push you around either.” Dewitt had taken that to heart.

Kendrick had always loved giving him a hard time because he was younger. Now Kendrick couldn’t count on his crew in Kaston anymore and had to settle back down here. Some days, Dewitt could let things go. Other days, well, he had no problem kicking someone while they were down.

He shrugged, looking a little smug. “Who knows what’s inside, but I’ve had my eye on this piece for a long time. If the young lady decides to sell, make sure she talks to me first.”

Kendrick could guess exactly what Dewitt was thinking, so he said it just to push his buttons, hoping Dewitt would give up.

Dewitt glanced back at Claire’s group. Claire still had her mask on, so he didn’t recognize her at first, but the longer he stared, the more he felt like he’d seen her somewhere before. He just couldn’t place it.

Claire, on the other hand, definitely knew Dewitt. She gave him a polite nod. “Dewitt.”

That single word made both sides freeze.
