Chapter 237: Teacher's Teacher_2

Wayne's expression changed several times. Although being slow on the uptake had its charm, he didn't want Claremont to be in the dark, so he revealed, "I'm not Veronica's brother. The rumors about being a bastard are just that, rumors. You know about the heir, right? There's another way to join a family."

"You and Veronica are engaged?"

"No."

"Then that settles it, if there's no engagement but you're still the heir, you must be a bastard."

"..."

Clare's words made too much sense, logically flawless, Wayne could only say, "I have a bit of a conflict with Austin, his appreciation of me doesn't mean he likes me. I'm too much like him, so much that he particularly despises me, which is why there is no engagement."

"He publicly calls you Wayne Lando."

"Same thing, he's still struggling. Because he dislikes me, he doesn't want to hand Veronica over to me personally."

"I don't believe it."

"..."

Okay, being naive is cuter.
