The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1301

Claire looked at the thick stack of cash in her hands, her winnings from the games that evening.

She had originally planned to return the money to Dewitt.

But Dewitt just waved her off. "Keep it. Money is just a number to me."

Claire suddenly remembered Dewitt's status. He was a massive big shot doing incredibly well in Kaston.

He could pull in millions of dollars just by moving a single piece of premium jade.

Why would he care about this pocket change?

"Alright, I won't be polite then."

"I'll treat you all to a nice dinner in the city sometime!"

Out here in the country, it wasn't her turn to treat anyone. After all, the provisions at the James estate were brought over by the villagers in a steady rotation.

As the Clan Leader, the old lady distributed funds to the villagers, and the villagers in turn made sure her pantry was fully stocked.

Pandora was still living like a grand matriarch from a bygone era.

But absolutely no one resented Pandora for her wealth or status.

Even the neighboring villages couldn't help but sigh in admiration at The James Family's generosity!

It was exactly because of this wonderful atmosphere in The James Village that the old lady could enjoy her peaceful corner of the world.

Claire went to wash up, then returned to her room to sleep.

The old lady had already fallen asleep. Claire went back to her own room, rested her head on the Agarwood pillow, and quickly drifted off.

The next day was New Year's Eve.

The village was bustling with life. Every household was busy preparing the holiday pastries they would eat the following morning, and a large crowd of men, women, and children had gathered early by the village's fish pond.

Claire had just gotten up. She was still groggy and brushing her teeth when she heard a kid shout from the front gate, "Pandora, Claire, come watch The Lake Harvest!"

"Okay."

Claire didn't even know whose kid it was, but she answered anyway, planning to head out shortly.

"Are you going to watch The Lake Harvest, Pandora?"

"I'm not going. You go ahead on your own," Pandora replied, completely uninterested in the event.

"Watch your step. Don't get too close to the water, and be careful not to fall in."

It was the dead of winter, and The James Village was already freezing. Falling into the water would definitely result in a severe illness.

Claire was still a young woman, and taking an icy plunge would inevitably cause health issues.
