The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1504

Since Claire had agreed, Dane didn't argue.

He climbed into the car with them and ordered Brooks and River to drive his vehicle to the hospital to wait.

Norris drove straight to the nearest hospital.

Claire was forced to undergo a full-body examination.

She was in relatively good condition, just exhausted from the struggle with the operative.

There was a bloody graze on her cheek from the bullet, but to Claire, a minor scratch was nothing.

She also had a few bruises on her face and body from being jostled inside the trash can.

Quinton and his crew certainly hadn't handled her gently when they dumped her in there.

Claire hadn't expected to come so close to disaster this time.

It was a single misstep in an otherwise flawless plan.

Although she didn't want to be admitted, Dane forced her to stay in the hospital for observation.

Even Padgett rushed over to visit her.

Claire comforted her grandfather. "They were just incredibly bold this time. I really didn't see it coming."

"But don't worry, Grandpa. Silas's security detail and rescue operation were very prompt."

"See? I'm perfectly fine."

She knew she had given the old man a terrible scare.

But she couldn't just stop going to school because of one incident.

Since those people were specifically targeting her.

They would come after her no matter where she hid.

Padgett wanted to take her home to stay for a while, but Claire refused without a second thought.

"At least come home for a bit. When you go back to school, I'm assigning bodyguards to you. They need to be with you twenty-four hours a day this time. No more being stubborn!"

Padgett recognized the severity of the situation. Those operatives from Sundara wouldn't rest until they achieved their goal.

Was this how they had treated Melissa and Agassi back then?
