Return Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks novel Chapter 584

Chapter 584

Stella’s call of “Claire” wasn’t particularly loud, but it was enough for everyone who needed to hear it–including the other customers in the boutique who had been glancing in Claire’s direction.

Cherise heard the name and a flicker of confusion flashed through her eyes, though it vanished in an instant. She was simply curious–how did Stella know her mother?

Then again, it wasn’t entirely surprising. Back in the day, her mother had been quite well–known in Betrico–not just for her beauty, but also for her character and intelligence.

“Claire, is it really you?” Stella, afraid the woman in front of her hadn’t heard, called out again.

“You two know each other?” Xenia, standing beside Claire, looked at Stella and asked.

There was a certain familiarity in the way Stella had called out, as if they were old acquaintances. Not just Xenia–many of the customers and boutique employees had the same impression.

Claire had just been checking whether the dress fit her well and if it was too ostentatious. Only now did she leisurely turn her head to look at Stella.

At that moment, she seemed to pause slightly before responding, “You? Do we know each other? You do seem familiar…but I can’t quite place you. My apologies.”

As soon as Claire said that, it felt like a major misunderstanding had just unfolded. The onlookers, who had been expecting a dramatic reunion between two elegant women, chuckled quietly.

“See? She doesn’t even recognize her. I thought they knew each other.”

“Who’s that woman in the black dress? I’ve never seen her in Betrico before, but she’s gorgeous and so classy. The young lady in front of her–I know her, that’s Cherise. They’re both stunning.”

“No idea, but I recognize the woman in the pink dress. I’ve seen her on TV recently–she’s a translator.”

Since this was a high–end boutique filled with well–mannered people of status, no one continued to gawk. Instead, they returned to browsing their selections.

However, Lydia cast a glance at her Aunt Stella, sensing that something about her seemed off. ‘So, this woman named Claire -whose grace and beauty are on par with Cherise–who exactly is she?‘ Lydia pondered.

Stella hadn’t expected Claire to forget who she was, let alone be laughed at by the onlookers. Feeling a bit embarrassed, she stepped forward.

“Claire, have you really forgotten me? I’m Stella from Betrico University. Back when the Betrico High School Alliance went to Gavoria for the oral competition, you represented Broania University’s top students and competed alongside me.

We even stayed in the same dorm for a whole week.

In the end, we passed all the rigorous assessments and won first prize together, bringing the award back to Clusia.
