The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1666

The Assassin knew that if she didn't leave right now, she wasn't leaving at all.

Her left hand dropped to her lower back. Unable to get close enough to the bed, she whipped a throwing knife directly at the unconscious man.

It was aimed dead center at his throat!

She was a highly trained professional killer!

That was the chilling thought that echoed in the minds of everyone in the room.

The two injured officers lunged desperately to block the blade, but Rory's eyes remained locked entirely on Claire.

Seeing that Claire was out of the blade's path, Rory exhaled sharply.

But in the very next second, The Assassin closed the distance and lunged at Claire.

The knife throw had been a diversion!

Her real objective was securing a hostage!

To The Assassin, Claire looked like a frail, unarmed doctor. Although Claire had dodged a few blows earlier, she posed zero physical threat.

If The Assassin wanted to walk out of this hospital alive, grabbing Claire was her safest bet.

Claire sensed the incoming attack, but just as she braced herself to fight back, something hard and metallic jammed into her spine!

"Don't move!"

The Assassin's voice sent a shiver down Claire's spine, and she instantly froze.

Claire strongly suspected this was the same woman who had put a bullet in the man on the bed earlier.

To hunt down a survivor all the way to a heavily guarded hospital... this syndicate was terrifyingly relentless.

"Let's talk this out. Don't do anything reckless!"

The two officers paled when they saw the gun pressed against Claire's back.

Not only was Claire an innocent bystander, but she was also the hero who had just saved the victim's life. If she got killed on their watch, the police department would never live it down.

"I have nothing to discuss with you pigs. If I tell you to shoot the man on the bed, will you do it?"

The Assassin sneered.

One of the officers held up his hands. "We can't do that. You know we can't."
