The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1485

Had anyone noticed what was happening? Had anyone called the police?

If someone didn't come to save him right now, he was actually going to die!

"Let Howard go. He's irrelevant to this. If he dies, the university will launch a massive investigation!"

"You don't want to complicate things any further, do you?"

Claire's tone was heavy with implication.

They definitely didn't want complications. They just wanted to extract Claire and vanish.

Tycho shot Felicity a warning look, silently telling her to ease up. Killing the boy just because she found him annoying was a terrible tactical error.

Felicity didn't care in the slightest. "If he dies, he dies. He can consider it an honor to die for you."

Howard?

"I really don't want to die."

He barely had the strength to whisper.

"Over here!"

A student who had heard the earlier screams for help had smartly called the police and alerted campus security.

The campus guards arrived ahead of the police, sprinting down the path.

"Who are you people? Let that student go right now!"

Tycho's expression darkened. He had assumed they would execute the extraction cleanly today. He hadn't accounted for Felicity acting like an absolute idiot at the critical moment.

"Back off! This is a domestic dispute!"

"If you don't back away, I'll kill him!" Felicity finally showed a shred of situational awareness.

Unfortunately, Tycho despised her sudden burst of "cleverness."

Seeing that the odds were tipping in their favor, Claire's bodyguards prepared to strike—when a car suddenly roared onto the scene.

The vehicle violently smashed through the perimeter, barreling straight toward them.

"Stop that car!"

Realizing what was happening, Hillary's face drained of color as she screamed the order.

It was too late. The driver was exceptionally skilled.

With a flawless drift, the car screeched to a halt right beside Claire and Tycho. Tycho dragged Claire into the vehicle just as a sniper bullet grazed his ear.

Warm blood splattered across Claire's cheek.
