The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1558

In her mother's eyes, Evie already had more than enough and had absolutely no reason to be jealous of anyone.

If anything, others should be jealous of her.

"Mom, why are you always taking other people's sides!" Evie snapped, completely furious at her mother's reaction.

Her mother didn't even want to waste her breath. "When you get back, I am personally dragging you over to apologize to your aunt!"

Hearing that, Evie's temper flared even hotter.

"I'm not coming back yet!"

She was going to Cabinda to find out exactly who this Claire was and why she held so much power that she could get her uncle to kick her off the project with a single word!

Evie hadn't learned a single thing and was already plotting her next move.

Meanwhile, Claire ended up staying an extra day in the small town while Rory went souvenir shopping.

Early the next morning, Officer Miller dispatched a team to escort them to the airport.

Since time had been critical before, they had flown in on a military transport plane. But now that the urgency had passed, it wasn't practical to mobilize military resources for their return.

Dane had considered calling in a private jet from The Green Family, but Claire vetoed the idea.

Deploying a private jet back and forth was too much hassle, and completely unnecessary.

However, none of them expected that a military escort vehicle would be tailed.

Rory glanced out the window and noticed the enemy was well-funded; several cars in the convoy were clearly tailing them.

The route from the town to the airport was long. If the pursuers were going to make a move, where would they strike?

The soldiers escorting them also spotted the tails, their expressions tightening with concern.

"Sergeant, what's the call?"

The young soldier driving sought instructions from the passenger seat.

The roads out here were notoriously treacherous.

And they were about to hit the most dangerous stretch of the route.

If the pursuers ambushed them in this hazardous terrain, guaranteeing everyone's safety would be nearly impossible.

The sergeant immediately radioed base to request orders from Officer Miller.
