The Billionaire's True Heiress: From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 522

Shirley finally let the subject drop.

She started venting to Claire about her test, saying she'd messed up a bunch of questions. “I really don’t think I’m going to make it into college. Seriously, what am I supposed to do?”

Claire pulled out her phone, found the official answers online, and handed it to Shirley. “Just check your answers against these. You’ll know approximately how you did.”

Shirley shook her head like her life depended on it. “Nope, no way. I don’t want to look. I’m just going to pretend I’ll get in. Feels better that way.”

“I’ll just enjoy a few days and have fun until the results come out. Whatever happens, happens.”

Claire had to hold back from rolling her eyes. “You do realize you’ve already figured it all out?”

“I’m just feeling anxious, okay? That’s why I came to you for comfort!” Shirley grinned and clung to Claire’s arm.

“Wasn’t your friend supposed to come to Apex?”

Claire gently pried her off. “Yeah, we made plans. She’s getting here tomorrow.”

Shirley grabbed Claire’s hand again, trying to pull her toward the door. She was determined to drag Claire out for some fun. “Let’s go out tonight. What do you want for dinner?”

“My grandma’s home. We should ask her what she wants,” Claire said, glancing over at Pandora, who was relaxing on the couch and watching TV.

“You two don’t have to worry about me,” Pandora laughed. “Go have your fun. Who wants to hang out with an old lady anyway?”

Pandora waved them off. “Actually, Queenie invited me to see a show with her tonight. You girls enjoy yourselves. We’ll do our own thing.”

With Pandora approving their plans, Claire gave in. She just made sure to remind her grandma, “If you go out with Queenie, please stay safe. I noticed she always has bodyguards with her… it means her wealth attracts the wrong kind of attention.”

“Yeah, I know,” Pandora agreed and then turned back to Claire. “You two go out and have fun, but don’t drink, okay? I know you’re both adults, but it’s not safe for girls if you get drunk.”

She tried not to hover, but she still worried.
