The Billionaire's True Heiress: From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 687

Mary's expression turned cold. "Cindy, watch what you say."

Cindy's face paled.

Octavia, aching for her daughter, stepped in. "Mom, please don't blame Cindy. She's just worried sick."

"She certainly is worried," Mary remarked, her tone ambiguous.

Even if Octavia wanted to explain further, no one was paying attention to her.

She glanced at Cindy and gave a subtle shake of her head.

Biting her lip, Cindy apologized. "I'm sorry, Claire. I spoke out of turn."

Claire couldn't even be bothered to look at her. "It's fine. You didn't mean anything by it."

Cindy was speechless. Why did that sound so sarcastic?

Octavia signaled for Cindy to stay quiet, and the girl finally shut her mouth.

Claire followed Mary into the consultation room.

The specialists were already waiting.

Everyone had been anticipating Claire's arrival.

Whether they actually believed in Mary, trusted Barry, or just wanted to watch the drama unfold was anyone's guess.

"This is Claire," Mary introduced her to the room.

Some of the doctors recognized Claire's face from the news.

They had to admit, she was a stunning young woman.

But that didn't mean they trusted her medical skills.

She simply looked far too young.

"Claire, Dr. Mary mentioned you have experience in both traditional and modern medicine. Why don't you take a look at this patient's condition and see if you can propose a treatment plan?"

Seeing the others silently waiting for a show, Vice President Sterling took the initiative to speak.

In truth, a test like this wasn't very effective.
