The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 873

Yara's gaze toward Claire was now filled with awe.

Her cousin Julian's grades were intimidating enough, but this girl was on a completely different level.

They weren't even playing the same sport!

"Are you just now realizing you're at the bottom of the barrel?" Quinn scolded her younger sister bluntly. "If you don't start working hard, you won't even earn a seat at the adult table."

Being known as the dumbest student among the relatives—that would be Yara's permanent label anytime someone brought her up.

Yara pouted. Who would want a label like that?

"I heard Claire is also an IMO champion. Are you planning to major in mathematics like our oldest cousin?"

Quinn couldn't be bothered to entertain her sister anymore and looked at Claire with sheer curiosity.

Claire shook her head. "I chose the medical school. I'm much more interested in medicine."

Quinn was astonished.

"Is the math department really going to let you slip away?"

Of course they wouldn't.

The math department had already gotten into several turf wars with the medical school over her.

"Our oldest cousin is a professor in the math department. If the faculty finds out you two are related, they'll definitely send him to recruit you."

Even though Quinn didn't attend The Cabinda University, she was very familiar with how academia operated.

With Claire's dual prestigious titles, the professors' thirst for a prodigy would drive them absolutely crazy.

"Well, that sounds like his problem," Claire said, winking at Quinn.

Quinn nodded. Makes total sense!

Irma watched as Yolande introduced Claire to the Churchill relatives, so she dragged her brother over to join the circle.

"Yolande, Quinn."

Irma approached, greeting them with a bright smile.

She didn't get to see Yolande often, but they usually had decent conversations, so their relationship was amicable enough.

As for Quinn, Irma considered her to be far removed from the core Churchill family, making them nothing more than mere acquaintances.

Luckily, he managed to catch his balance.

If he hadn't, Claire would have simply sidestepped and let him faceplant onto the floor.

"My apologies." Lyle hadn't expected to almost collide with her.

Amidst his embarrassment, he felt a twinge of regret.

If he actually had bumped into her, it would have been the perfect excuse to get closer.

"Hello, Lyle," Claire replied smoothly, acting as if the near-accident hadn't bothered her in the slightest.

Lyle thought to himself that this girl was drop-dead gorgeous. If his family really wanted him to pursue Claire, he was more than willing.

He would submit to that arrangement body and soul!

"Hello, Claire. You don't mind if I call you that, do you?" The man, usually so slick and silver-tongued with women, suddenly sounded cautious.

Claire indicated it was fine.

"Since you just moved to Cabinda, you probably aren't very familiar with the city yet, are you?"
