The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1661

Claire frowned. "You guys keep eating. I'm going to go check it out."

She was worried that the shooter might have been aiming for her.

If they were coming for her, staying in the room would put all these innocent doctors in grave danger.

Barry didn't feel comfortable letting Claire go out alone.

Lawler immediately stood up. "I'll go with you."

Claire wanted to refuse, but Lawler didn't give her the chance.

"If you don't let me go, everyone else here is going to be worried sick."

"Besides, I'm a grown man. As a young woman, you should honestly be the one staying in the room."

Claire realized that if she didn't take Lawler with her, the others would never let her leave.

"Alright, let's go together."

Without waiting for anyone else's input, the two of them hurried out of the private room.

Seeing Claire emerge, Rory and Jace instantly frowned.

Jace had already scoped the area and found a middle-aged man bleeding out on the street.

He had wanted to help, but the scene was chaotic, and he suspected this might be a Daybreak Syndicate tactic to lure them away from Claire.

So, he had stayed rooted to his spot.

Claire and Lawler rushed straight toward the man lying in a pool of blood.

Working in perfect sync, they immediately began assessing his condition.

"Please step back, we're doctors."

The bystanders, who had been hesitating to apply pressure to the wound, quickly backed away upon hearing professionals had arrived.

"Help me... get this... to Silas..."

The man had been shot directly in the chest. Before he could even finish his sentence, his eyes rolled back and he passed out.

He had shoved something into Claire's hand, his grip completely going slack.

Without hesitating, Claire slipped the object into her pocket and calmly began applying pressure to stop the bleeding.
