The Billionaire's True Heiress: From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 722

As long as there was a glimmer of hope, Latham refused to give up.

"How about this: I'll prepare the files today and fly out to Cabinda personally. We can discuss the details face-to-face before you take it to your board. Does that work?"

It had been a long time since Latham had sounded this subservient.

But it was the only way to breathe life back into the company and find a way out of this mess.

"If you have the time, certainly."

In truth, the Acceptance Letters were due to arrive any day now.

Claire's acceptance into The Cabinda University was already set in stone.

Even without Latham's desperate pleas, Dane had been planning a trip to Apex anyway.

Padgett had made it crystal clear that he was not to miss Claire's appearance at The Ivy Gala.

The older man had also repeatedly reminded him to prepare a spectacular gift for her.

Naturally, even without the prodding, Dane wouldn't have missed it for the world.

Back in Apex, Latham hung up the phone and let out a heavy sigh of relief.

He turned to thank Claire, only to realize she had already slipped away.

A bitter taste filled Latham’s mouth.

Did she really despise him that much?

Didn't she even care to know the outcome? How could she just walk off?

Furious as he was, there was absolutely nothing he could do to her; he could only swallow his anger.

However, the news he brought back injected a much-needed shot of adrenaline into the company.

Even his younger brother was ecstatic, entirely forgetting the lingering resentment over Latham forcing Shirley into an unwanted engagement.

"Latham, if Dane from Vertex is stepping in, we're actually saved, right?"
