The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 685

How professional could she be?

Octavia scoffed inwardly.

If her mother-in-law was truly professional, she would never have suggested bringing Claire into the operating room.

Claire was just a little brat. How could she step foot in an OR?

Did she really think the girl was some kind of prodigy?

She was once again certain that her mother-in-law had lost her mind.

She couldn't even tell the difference between her own flesh and blood and an outsider.

Who was the biological relative here?

If Claire hadn't already found her real family, Octavia would have suspected she was the illicit offspring of Mary and another man.

"We aren't questioning my mother. It's just..." Facing Dr. Duncan, Latham found it hard to explain.

"Claire is too young, and she hasn't even graduated from medical school."

"She just took her college entrance exams. Letting her assist in an operating room is completely absurd."

"Does the hospital seriously not have any exceptional doctors to assist my mother?"

"Dr. Duncan, as far as I know, your clinical experience is quite extensive. Do you truly have zero confidence in handling this surgery?"

"Our opposition isn't just about being responsible for Lance, but for Claire as well."

"Claire is our adoptive daughter. Naturally, we don't want her getting wrapped up in a disaster."

"Furthermore, since this directly involves my son, I'd rather not drag Claire into it, lest it ruin their relationship."

Latham's arguments were completely reasonable.

Dr. Duncan could only look to Mary.

He hadn't realized that Claire was Latham's adoptive daughter. That meant she was the infamous fake heiress of the James family.

The fact that Mary maintained such a close bond with the fake heiress only proved what a profoundly good person she was.

She supported a non-biological granddaughter so fiercely, without a shred of resentment.

That was something very few people could ever do.

"I know you don't believe in Claire, but you don't need to object so quickly."
