The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1573

And what about Zeke, lying helpless in the back seat?

His mind was a groggy, agonizing haze.

Why was he always the one taking the hits?

If it came down to a foot chase, the other two were perfectly healthy and could easily sprint away.

He knew with absolute certainty he would be the one left behind to rot.

"I'll follow his directions for now. But if you two try to ditch me and run, I swear I'll drag you both straight to hell with me!"

Zachary wasn't from Sundara; he possessed none of their suicidal devotion.

He was terrified these spies would use him up and toss him aside.

He kept his guard up, making sure his threats were explicitly clear.

"Relax. Graves promised you safe passage to Sundara, and he honors his word."

Reese's blind faith in the man was unwavering.

Hearing that, Zachary felt his stomach churn with a fresh wave of dread.

Somehow, their reassurances felt entirely hollow.

If they couldn't smuggle him out alive, would they just settle for taking his ashes?

Graves, possessing a flawless understanding of the city's topography, quickly calculated a brilliant escape route.

It was a path designed to perfectly distract the police while ensuring Claire's extraction.

He directed them toward the northern bus terminal, a calculated move to convince the cops they were fleeing Montara by coach.

"A bus terminal is a solid diversion, but tickets require registered IDs. Slipping through the cracks there is nearly impossible."

Stephen frowned as he tracked the black Honda's trajectory.

His eyes were locked on the digital map glowing on the dashboard, confirming the target was making a beeline for the transit hub.

It might be a bluff, but Claire was in that car. No matter the scenario, they couldn't afford to blink.

Stephen didn't know exactly what these foreign operatives wanted with Claire, but he swore he wouldn't let her fall into their hands.

What was wrong with the Sundara Syndicate, always preying on Solenia?

Even if Claire was a once-in-a-generation genius, didn't their own country have any talent?
