The Billionaire's True Heiress: From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 71

Claire had barely stepped out of the bathroom when she spotted Lance standing in the hallway. He was leaning against the wall, smoking like he owned the place.

She nearly jumped out of her skin.

Seriously? Was he stalking her now?

Claire took a step back, glaring. “Lance, are you out of your mind?”

Did he really follow her all the way to the bathroom? Did he think there was something magical about the air out here?

“Where are you living right now?” Lance asked, crushing his cigarette underfoot, his eyes fixed on her.

Claire frowned, putting even more space between them. “Why do you care?”

“You were my sister for eighteen years. Am I not allowed to ask how you’re doing?” Lance frowned too, like he couldn’t believe how prickly she was acting.

“Save that fake concern for Cindy,” Claire shot back. “She’s your real sister, remember? You don’t need to worry about me.”

Lance looked her up and down, almost amused. “Are you jealous?”

Claire’s eyes widened. She could barely believe what she was hearing. “Are you even listening to yourself?”

“Why would I be jealous?”

“Because I care more about her,” Lance said, suddenly serious.

The look on Claire’s face made it pretty clear she thought he was delusional. He hated that.

“Do you really hear what you’re saying?” Claire was done with this conversation. Lucky for her, the bell rang at that moment.

“Class is starting. Don’t waste my time,” she said, turning to leave.
