The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1556

Evie wanted to dig for more information, but seeing the icy expression on Mr. Green's face across the table, she didn't dare speak a word.

The man genuinely terrified her.

Even if he was breathtakingly handsome.

When Claire stepped out to take the call, it was the matriarch checking on her safety.

Rory's status reports weren't enough; the matriarch needed to hear her granddaughter's voice.

Claire murmured a few soothing reassurances to finally calm the old woman down.

After hanging up, she pulled out her own phone, only to realize it was completely dead.

She had slept so heavily the night before that she had completely forgotten to charge it.

"Rory, does this town have any local specialties?"

She planned to buy some souvenirs.

"I'll go buy them. I'll have Jace stand guard outside," Rory insisted, refusing to let Claire wander out alone.

For one, the dinner wasn't over yet; secondly, who knew if Kael's cell had re-established contact with Sundara after their escape?

What if operatives from The Daybreak Syndicate were lying in wait, ready to abduct Claire and drag her back to Sundara?

They simply couldn't risk it.

"I kind of wanted to walk around myself," Claire sighed, though she knew the current situation made a casual stroll far too dangerous.

It wasn't just Kael's crew they had to worry about; Quinton Graves had escaped and was still at large.

The Daybreak Syndicate definitely wouldn't just give up.

That was exactly why the matriarch was so paranoid about Claire's safety.

Failing to reach Claire's phone had sent the old woman into an absolute panic.

"Don't worry about it. You'll have plenty of chances in the future."

Rory comforted her.

For now, she would just have to do the sightseeing on the Clan Successor's behalf.

Ha!

Claire sighed in defeat. "Alright, just make sure to buy a bunch of local specialties. I need them for gifts."
