The 24th Century Warrior Became a Fake Heiress novel Chapter 323

ng that the funding for Sinclair Enterprises was blocked would only cause her immense distress.

And she would inevitably shoulder the guilt of causing Carter Group trouble.

Carrying too much fierce independence and boundless kindness was a heavy cross for a young girl.

Eugene refused to let her carry that weight.

“Eugene, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you.”

The split second Eugene shifted his vocal inflection, Isabella detected the subtle transition.

As a psionic vanguard accustomed to life–or–death battlefields, she possessed razor–sharp sensitivity to behavioral micro–shifts–Eugene hadn’t realized that the sudden stabilization in his breathing betrayed his underlying turbulence.

Isabella deduced in an instant that Eugene was facing serious complications on his end, leaving him deeply agitated.

Yet she tactfully refrained from probing, proceeding smoothly with her agenda.

“What is it, Bella?” Eugene inquired, deliberately steadying his breathing before asking with a sudden scowl, “Did the Kellers barge back into the hospital to harass Mr. Sinclair again?”

His tone hardened with protective menace as he added, “If they did, I’ll dispatch executive security to lock down the floor around his suite immediately.

“Don’t worry–they won’t enter the room, but they’ll guard the perimeter and run off any Keller operatives on sight.

“I’ll ensure around–the–clock surveillance so no outside vultures disturb his recovery.”

Eugene felt thoroughly exasperated.

His thoughts jumped straight to the Kellers–could those vultures have targeted Isabella and her family again?

The mere possibility sent a spike of murderous frost through his veins.

Hearing his immediate reaction, Isabella realized that Eugene’s earlier frustration was almost certainly connected to the Keller family as well, or he wouldn’t have leaped to that conclusion.

Shaking her head gently, she replied, “No, it’s not that.”

Speaking candidly, she said, “Eugene, I wanted to discuss the Powell family’s situation with you.

“The judicial auction for Powell Group’s core assets is scheduled for the day after tomorrow. Isaac intends to salvage what he can of the enterprise, and with Adrian locked in custody, only Isaac and I have the clearance to attend.
