The Billionaire's True Heiress: From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 435

“Bishop, I can’t hang out today. I’ve got to head back to Apex.” Claire fiddled with the card Bishop had slipped into her hand, not sure if she was supposed to laugh or sigh. Bishop was really treating her like a little kid.

“Just keep the card. When you get back, go shopping with your friends, blow off some steam.” Bishop knew she had college entrance exams coming up. There was no way he could keep her here.

“I’d feel rude refusing, so I won’t.” Claire tucked the card away without fuss.

The Churchill family never lacked for money. No matter their age, all the men loved handing out cards for pocket money. Claire was used to it by now. Even her New Year’s money came in the form of bank cards.

“If you ever run out, come find me.” Bishop didn’t bring up Karla, but Claire could guess what this was about. He and Karla were close, and Bishop just wanted to make sure there were no hard feelings. He probably thought Claire would blame Karla for what happened, so he was trying to make it up to her.

But how could she blame Karla for inviting her out?

Karla hadn’t even gotten to see Claire that morning. She’d been called to the police station at the crack of dawn. The police had found a lead, and she needed to help with the investigation. As soon as she left the station, she heard a paparazzi had nearly broken into Oakley’s hospital room. She had barely caught her breath before rushing off to the hospital again.

Oakley was awake now. After all the chaos with the reporters, he still couldn’t get proper rest. Now he was having breakfast.

“Karla, sorry for all the hassle.” Oakley felt a pang of guilt when he saw the dark circles under Karla’s eyes.

“As long as you get it. You just focus on getting better. Osborn already said it, you’ll go back to filming when you’re healed.”

Oakley was a bit surprised. Osborn usually loved clashing with another director in the industry. With this accident postponing filming, he figured Osborn might be thinking about replacing him.
