The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1560

Claire's tone was remarkably relaxed.

Dane?

He affectionately ruffled her hair. "I'll always save you first."

But before the four pursuing cars could even make a move, a completely different obstacle blocked their path!

"Baa..."

A herd of goats came tumbling down the steep embankment, crashing directly onto the highway.

Claire and Dane simultaneously jerked their heads toward the slope.

All they saw were scattering rocks; there was no one in sight.

It was impossible to tell if it was orchestrated or a freak accident.

Regardless, the fallen goats completely blocked the road, halting their advance.

Running over a goat would mean stopping to pay heavy damages.

It wasn't the money they cared about; they feared this was the trap springing shut.

The driver slammed on the brakes, but no one rushed to get out.

Two goats lay on the asphalt, bleating in pain from the fall.

The rest had scrambled to their hooves but were now pacing anxiously across the road, surrounding their injured flock members.

They seemed to want to help but could only bleat helplessly.

"What do we do? Do we get out?"

The young driver glanced at his sergeant.

They were just supposed to be on an escort run; no one expected this level of chaos.

"Sergeant, do you think these goats are a setup?"

The young soldier possessed sharp situational awareness.

As local troops, they had driven this treacherous mountain road countless times.

While running into livestock wasn't uncommon, encountering a literal avalanche of goats was unheard of.

Even if they did spot strays, it was usually one or two, never an entire herd crashing down at once.

Unless they were phenomenally unlucky, this was deliberate.

Their path was blocked, reversing was impossible, and with four hostile vehicles boxing them in—what were they supposed to do if the enemy was heavily armed?

The sergeant felt a massive headache coming on.
