Chapter 1808

[ 538 words ]

“How did you know we were cousins? We haven’t announced our relationship publicly.”

“I’ve always referred to him as my professor in front of others.”

Since Honoria wanted to pick a fight, Claire decided to flip the board.

Unless she had deliberately investigated them, how could she possibly know those details?

Did this woman actually like Norris?

Didn’t she realize speaking like this would only make people despise her?

Also, why were all the students and teachers on campus constantly praising her for being gentle and beautiful, when Claire couldn’t see a single trace of it?

Was it true that studying in Sundara had completely rewired her brain?

Why else would her own mother feel like she wasn’t her real daughter? “Um… I just happened to find out.”

“I can’t even remember who told me,” Honoria tried to brush it off.

She had spoken too quickly, forgetting that the siblings kept their relationship a secret on campus.

Claire had consistently called him Professor the entire time.

“What a coincidence. If I didn’t know better, I’d think you’ve been digging into our background.”

Claire’s words hung heavily in the air.

Norris shot Honoria a sharp look.

For some reason, his gaze made Honoria incredibly nervous.

“Wait, Claire, are you really his cousin?”

Valerie’s sudden curiosity about their identities successfully defused Honoria’s awkwardness.

Claire couldn’t tell if the girl had done it on purpose or if she was genuinely just oblivious.

Regardless, if she had done it intentionally to help her cousin, it wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

“I am. Don’t we look alike?” Claire smiled and leaned a little closer to Norris.

Seeing Honoria’s face darken, Claire felt utterly exhausted by the drama.

She wasn’t even romantically involved with Norris, yet this woman’s possessiveness was off the charts!

If they actually ended up together, would Norris not even be allowed to have female students?

Claire, who usually hated meddling

in other people’s love lives, Sny

felt the urge to warn Norris to stay far away from this womans .net

“You do look a bit alike.”

Honestly, Valerie couldn’t really see a strong resemblance.

But Claire was gorgeous, and Norris was incredibly handsome.

Beautiful people always seemed to share a certain aesthetic similarity!

“There is a resemblance,” Honoria awkwardly chimed in.

The moment she spoke, the table fell dead silent.

Norris didn’t say a single word to her for the rest of the night, ignoring every question she asked.

If it hadn’t been for Professor Warner, the entire dinner would have frozen over.

Claire, meanwhile, kept up a casual, bouncing conversation with Valerie.

Seeing his daughter making friends with Claire brought a deep sense of relief to Mr. Winthrop.

He was far too busy to spend enough time with his daughter, and he couldn’t vet every single person who approached her.

Unlike Claire, who was clearly brilliant Having someone like her keep an eye on his daughter was blessing. He firmly believed.goods. influences rubbed off on people.

Acting as though she hadn’t caught onto Mr. Winthrop’s subtle approval, Claire Continued chatting with Valege about completely random topics

Valerie even asked if Claire really had a fiancé, mentioning the campus rumors about her going out with some rich heir.

No one had caught his face, but the luxury cars had definitely been photographed.

“I do have a fiancé, but I own my own luxury cars, so it’s not weird for someone to pick me up in one.”

Claire’s answer was absolutely bulletproof.
