The True Heiress: Legend Mode novel Chapter 7

Chuck's gaze darkened slightly. He searched her face, desperate to find the missing puzzle piece. "You look exactly like someone I used to know."

Juno arched an eyebrow. "I'm flattered."

He pulled out his phone. "Can I get your number?"

"Of course."

She boldly took his phone, typed in her digits, and immediately hit dial. A second later, her own phone buzzed in her pocket. She held it up with a smirk.

Whispers broke out among the stunned onlookers.

"Is this what hot guys are into now? Honestly, the girl who just left was way prettier than her."

"Ugh. Gorgeous face, terrible eyesight. What a waste!"

Chuck took his phone back, casually twirling it between his fingers. He remained silent.

Juno desperately wanted to stay by his side, but she couldn't. Not in her current identity.

Whatever. They had plenty of time.

Her only reason for coming today was to appease Gerda. While the other elites were busy networking and kissing up to billionaires, she had absolutely no interest in playing the socialite game.

With that thought, she gave Chuck a brief nod and walked away.

She didn't care about the chaotic mess she was leaving behind. She just walked out. Free, wild, and utterly unrestrained.

The detail Gerda had assigned her was waiting outside the club. She ordered them to take her straight to the Central Business District.

The CBD was the beating heart of Kingsland's wealth, tech, and culture. It was a massive hub for high finance, international trade, and luxury commerce.

Walking these busy streets, Juno finally felt a faint echo of the life she used to have in Blackwood City.

After scoping out the local market, she walked into a high-end steakhouse. Just as she was about to cut into her meal, a harsh reality hit her—she was completely broke.

She hadn't seen her parents yet, and Gerda hadn't thought to give her an allowance.
