The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1010

Zara was dressed to the nines, while Skye, who usually leaned toward a cute aesthetic, decided not to steal the spotlight and dressed casually.

However, even if she had dressed up, she couldn't have stolen Claire's thunder.

Even Zara, who possessed impeccable fashion sense, was completely outshone by Claire's effortless radiance.

Skye sighed, "Hanging out with you two stunners makes me feel like I really should have put some effort into my outfit."

Worrying about stealing their spotlight was just pure delusion on her part.

"You're beautiful too," Claire complimented her with total sincerity.

Skye wasn't conventionally drop-dead gorgeous, but she had a round face and big, round eyes that made her incredibly cute and endearing.

"So what if I'm cute? Standing next to you two, I look like the maid holding the bags."

You truly didn't realize the gap until you stood right next to them.

"Stop complaining, you adorable little maid, and let's go. We shouldn't keep them waiting."

Felix had told them he'd wait at the school gates.

"It's not me dragging my feet, it's Her Highness!"

Skye shot a look at the slowest walker of the group.

"I refuse to walk fast."

Zara spoke with utter absolute justification, "My outfit isn't designed for speed."

Claire sighed helplessly.

Zara was dressed in a classic, designer-inspired tweed set tailored for a wealthy heiress. Walking fast would completely ruin her elegant image.

"We're just grabbing dinner with a classmate's mom, not going on a blind date," Claire teased. "You totally could have dressed down."

"I absolutely cannot do casual. I prefer to look fabulous when I leave the house."

"Especially for a dinner party. If I don't look my best, it's disrespectful to the host."

Zara had her own unwavering code of conduct, and Claire obviously couldn't fault her for it.

"As long as you're happy," Claire said. If Zara felt comfortable, Claire was totally fine with it.

"If you girls want anything else, just order it. I only got a few of the house specialties."

"Don't hold back. I absolutely adore having girls around."

"It's such a tragedy I gave birth to a son with a permanent scowl on his face!"

Felix was completely used to his mother coveting other people's daughters.

Especially since these three were undeniably gorgeous and charming.

During the meal, the girls experienced Mrs. Ingram's overwhelming hospitality firsthand, ending up so full they could barely move.

"If my son could just find a beautiful girl like one of you at college, I'd die a happy woman."

Claire's lips twitched. "Mrs. Ingram, Felix just started college. You really don't need to rush this."

"I'm just thinking it's better to strike first! The competition out there is brutal these days."

Of course, Mrs. Ingram knew her son had just started college; she was simply expressing her wildest dreams.
