The Billionaire's True Heiress: From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 602

It was clear Altair wasn’t exactly the safest place in the world.

But Dewitt’s bodyguards were no amateurs either. Anyone who tried to start something found themselves thoroughly outmatched.

Word got around fast—once the locals realized who they were dealing with, no one dared make another move.

So, all in all, the night passed without incident.

“Looking at these two pieces of raw jade, are you planning to turn this one into jewelry?”

Dane would’ve taken them both in a heartbeat, but he genuinely wanted Claire’s input.

“Yes, I’d like to keep this one.” Claire thought back to how her grandfather’s family had gone out of their way to welcome her with thoughtful gifts.

Now that she’d hit the jackpot with her jade stone, she figured it was only right to have a few pieces custom-made for her relatives—a small gesture of her gratitude.

“Alright.”

“Would you like me to take care of the arrangements? Or should Dewitt find someone for you?”

Dane always made a point to let Claire decide.

She was easy either way. She turned to Dewitt. “Dewitt, do you know any excellent jewelers nearby?”

“I do know some, even worked with a few of them. But once the piece is finished, getting it safely into your hands might be risky.”

“I have to return to Kaston anyway—honestly, it’d be simpler letting Dane handle it for you.”

Dewitt wasn’t deflecting to avoid trouble; it really was just more convenient for Dane to step in.

Besides, Dewitt had his own ideas. If he ever wanted to give Claire a special gift, he’d source the emerald himself and have something made—no way he’d expect her to bring her own stone.

“Works for me,” Dane said easily.

And then he transferred fifty thousand dollars to Claire, claiming the higher-grade piece of jade for himself.

“Isn’t that a little too much?”

Claire remembered the most anyone had bid at auction was maybe eighteen thousand dollars—ten thousand for most stones.

Fifty thousand felt astronomical.
