The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 627

"How are you feeling today, Daniel?" Claire asked as she walked over to examine him.

Daniel’s spirits seemed high. "Not bad at all. The pain isn't nearly as bad—I think I'm on the mend."

The fact that his condition hadn't worsened was an encouraging sign in itself. If bone cancer could be held at bay—or even defeated—it would mark a true milestone for medicine.

"Your body is so much stronger than before," Claire told him.

Daniel had some medicine , and not long afterward, he drifted peacefully off to sleep.

Claire was just about to make her way to the lab when Jennifer caught up with her.

"Claire," Jennifer called out.

Claire stopped and turned. "Yes, Jennifer? Is something wrong?"

She’d expected Jennifer to be concerned about Daniel, but instead, Jennifer started talking about the demolition project.

"There was an accident during the James Group's demolition last night. Someone died."

Because this involved the James family—a family whose home Claire had grown up in—Jennifer felt Claire deserved to hear the news firsthand.

"Really?" Claire was genuinely taken aback; she rarely paid attention to anything concerning the James family these days.

She certainly never involved herself in the company business. Years ago, Octavia had been adamant that Claire stay far away from it.

Maybe Octavia had always suspected she wasn’t her biological daughter, and that was why she was so determined to keep her out. Looking back, the clues had all been there.
