The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 588

“I want to see for myself what rare treasure we’ll find in this rock.”

Now that she didn’t have to worry about anyone snatching it away, Claire could finally relax. With Dewitt’s crew holding down the fort, nobody had the guts to try anything funny. Dane was there too, just to be safe.

All Claire wanted was to find out what kind of jackpot she had stumbled onto today.

Dewitt gave her a nod. “Alright, I’ll cut it for you.”

He hadn’t spent much time with Cindy before, but Claire was different. She was the recognized Heiress. Even Pandora had accepted her and let her into the family’s inner circle. Dewitt was making it clear he was on her side.

Claire handed over the stone without a fuss.

Back in Kaston, the first thing Dewitt ever learned was how to break open these rocks. He was good at it, too. He always knew what he was looking at, never made a mistake with the material. This piece was the real deal, hidden away who knows how many years.

Instead of just hacking into it, he started grinding carefully along the edge. Piece by piece, the inside started to show. With a splash of water, a beautiful green shimmered out. It was pure, vibrant green—maybe not as blinding as imperial jade, but still the sort anyone in the business would kill for.

On the sidelines, Kendrick was watching, and it felt like his heart was being cut open instead of the stone. That should have been his. When the whole stone was finally uncovered, Kendrick shot Danny a look that could kill.

Seriously, you had a gold mine at home and never brought it out? This single rock could fetch at least six million.

Danny felt just as miserable. He was cursing his son in his head. If it hadn’t been for that useless boy and that woman refusing to give up the stone, he would’ve gotten rich so long ago. Why did he have to be in this sorry state now?

“Looks like she has some real luck, don’t you think, Kendrick?”

Kendrick forced a brittle smile. Of course it was. Like he could say otherwise.

Danny just couldn’t let it go. “That stone was from my house! My kid didn’t know better and let this girl talk him out of it. Look, isn’t this—”
