The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 196

For Alva and Wendy, coming from regular families, stepping onto a private jet felt like something out of a dream. If Claire hadn’t invited them, they probably would have gone their whole lives never knowing what the inside of one looked like.

Even their teacher was tempted. He hesitated, trying to be responsible. “Maybe you should go with your relatives, and we’ll just wait here. It doesn’t feel right for so many of us to tag along.”

But Claire wasn’t ready to give up. “Come on, think of it as an adventure. We’ve got a chance to get to Cabinda early and settle in. Wouldn’t you rather be there than stuck in an airport? We’d have more time to rest or even explore a bit.”

Her argument worked. The teacher glanced around at all the hopeful faces, and his resolve melted. The winter camp didn’t start until the day after tomorrow, so arriving early meant everyone could get comfortable and maybe even sightsee. This extra time was something Apex had planned for them.

“Alright, thank you, Claire,” he finally said, giving in.

It was a private jet, after all. He was nervous about accidentally breaking something expensive, but when they went over to greet everyone, the elderly man in the wheelchair was warm and welcoming. Even the serious-looking younger man nodded politely.

Lemuel, walking onto the plane, felt a surprising sense of respect from the hosts. He couldn’t help but think that the richest people always acted the most humble and well-mannered. He was already sneaking a few photos to send his wife. This might be his one and only chance to experience something like this.

Everyone was grateful to Claire. She was beautiful, kind, and genuinely cared about her classmates and teachers. They all knew the invitation was only extended because she didn’t want to leave anyone behind.

The private jet was on another level compared to a regular plane. The younger crowd broke out a game of poker. Since most of them were math whizzes, they all tried to count cards, turning the game into a battle of wits.

Baldrick watched them play with a big smile. “Young people really do have endless energy.”
