The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1287

"Oh, by the way, I heard Latham went bankrupt. Claire, do you want me to ask my dad to give him a job at our company?"

Claire and Shirley had been completely silent.

They were just quietly listening to Rose show off her newfound wealth.

Who would have thought she would suddenly shove it right in Claire's face?

Seriously, was Rose out of her mind?

While Claire hadn't personally orchestrated Latham's bankruptcy, she had certainly stood back and watched it happen without lifting a finger.

What on earth made Rose think Claire was trying to find Latham a job?

Did these girls genuinely think she was some bleeding-heart saint?

Seeing Claire stay silent, Rose felt a thrill of vindication.

She just knew Claire was drowning in humiliation.

Getting Latham a job at her family's company would be the ultimate insult to Claire.

Back in the day, whenever Rose visited the James estate, she used to be so intimidated by Latham that she barely dared to breathe.

Now it was finally her turn to hold the cards!

"Don't be embarrassed, Claire."

"I heard Latham has been hitting dead ends trying to find work. Honestly, I've been meaning to help you guys out, but then you went off to Cabinda..."

Before Rose could finish her little performance, Claire cut her off. "No need."

"I can't exactly get him an executive role, but I do need a driver to take me to and from campus. If he's willing..."

"Did you not hear me say there's no need?" Claire interrupted her again, her tone flat.

The smugness in Rose's eyes flickered. "Why not?"

"I genuinely want to help. Why won't you just accept my offer, Claire?"

"Even though you never really did anything for me in the past, he's down on his luck right now. I'm willing to be the bigger person."

Claire scoffed. "If you want to help Latham, go help him. What does that have to do with me?"

"I'm not embarrassed in the slightest."

"Do you understand?"

Rose looked at her in sheer disbelief. "How can you say that?"
