The Billionaire's True Heiress: From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 243

“What kind of doctor is it? Do you really think traditional medicine can cure Baldrick? Dane, are you even listening to me?”

Latonia noticed Dane wasn’t responding, so she followed his gaze. That’s when she spotted a girl in a black puffer jacket. Her skin was pale and flawless, her features delicate, and her eyes crinkled with a smile. Her hair was pulled up into a messy bun with loose strands framing her face, giving her a laid-back, effortless charm. There was something catlike about her, all quiet curiosity.

“Are you looking at that girl? Is she that pretty?” Latonia felt a strange twinge she couldn’t quite name.

Dane didn’t answer. He just started walking toward Claire.

Len and the others, still grateful for the ride on Dane’s private jet, greeted him before Claire even had a chance to speak.

“Dane, what a coincidence.” Claire beamed at him, sneaking a glance at Latonia. Was this a date?

“Did you all just finish eating?” Dane asked, catching a whiff of roast duck still lingering on their clothes.

“Yeah. Is that your girlfriend?” Claire nodded toward Latonia, asking directly.

Leo was watching Dane too. Just the other day at the school gates, Claire was holding onto Dane’s arm like they were really close. But now he was out with another girl, and she looked pretty high-class too. Was Dane just messing around with Claire? It didn’t make sense, especially since Claire didn’t seem bothered at all, which only made Leo more confused.

Latonia didn’t give Dane the chance to say anything. She stepped forward and introduced herself with a smile. “Hi, I’m Latonia.” She turned to Dane. “So, who’s this little sister?”

Latonia always kept track of the women around Dane, mostly because he rarely paid any attention to them. But Claire was different. She looked so young, and her accent was definitely not from Cabinda.

“She’s just a kid,” Dane said gently.
