The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1665

Neither Rory nor Jace had expected that their charge would manage to plunge herself into a massive intelligence war just by saving a random guy on the street.

"Claire..." Rory still wanted to stay glued to Claire's side; keeping her safe was their only priority.

"Just call me Claire. Didn't we agree on that?"

Rory nodded. "Right. Claire, you're in serious danger right now. Don't forget, you're the one who saved him."

"So I'm going to stick right by you, and Jace will monitor the perimeter."

"You have to trust me on this. Your face might not be famous yet, but if they find out you're the one who kept him alive, they will absolutely target you."

There was also a chance they might recognize her medical genius and try to take her alive.

But that would mean the end of any normal life she had left.

Therefore, ensuring Claire's physical safety was paramount.

Claire knew Rory was right. "Okay. You stay close to me."

Since the assassins hadn't shown up yet, Rory quickly ducked away and changed her clothes.

She disguised herself as a nurse reporting for the night shift, loudly complaining to a 'cousin' on her phone about the horrible hours.

No one even blinked at the sudden staff change; the actual doctors and nurses just assumed she was a float nurse from another ward.

Not long after, a nurse pushing a medication cart walked down the hall.

The nurse headed straight for the patient's room. The police officers guarding the door didn't notice anything suspicious, but Claire's eyes locked onto her shoes.

They were covered in mud!

It had rained briefly that afternoon, but an on-duty nurse wouldn't be tracking thick mud through the sterile halls.

The walkways outside were all paved concrete. The only way her shoes would look like that was if she hadn't entered through the front doors.

There was an active construction site behind the hospital. If she had hopped the fence back there, her shoes would look exactly like that.

Claire's face paled, and she shouted at the police, "That nurse is a fake!"

The officers immediately drew their weapons and charged into the room.
