The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1668

She realized that if she didn't escape right this second, she was dead.

"Dog, are you just going to sit there and watch?!" The Assassin shrieked.

The taxi suddenly gunned its engine, hurtling directly toward them.

It hadn't been a random cab she hailed off the street; it was a strategically placed getaway vehicle.

Jace and Rory were forced to dive out of the way of the roaring vehicle, giving The Assassin a split-second window.

She scrambled backward, yanked the passenger door open, and threw herself inside.

"Drive!"

Old Dog slammed his foot on the gas, and the car peeled out onto the main road.

Rory and Jace were only tasked with keeping Claire safe. They made no move to chase the fleeing vehicle, but The Assassin never made it out of the city.

In fact, neither of the operatives in that car survived.

A massive freight truck plowed directly into the side of the taxi at an intersection, killing them both instantly.

The local detectives and the Special Security agents were livid when they arrived at the crash site.

With both suspects dead, their only lead had just been obliterated!

The Special Security team on site was led by a man named Agent Grant, acting in Silas's absence.

He looked slightly older and far more worn down than Silas.

Claire finally met him face-to-face at the local precinct.

Since she had been taken hostage, the police had brought her in to give an official statement.

Agent Grant had been dispatched specifically at Hillary's request.

"I'm Agent Grant, Deputy Commander of the Special Security Task Force."

He offered a firm handshake.

Claire nodded to acknowledge him.

"Claire." She offered a brief introduction in return.

Agent Grant was staring at her as if she were a mythological creature.

"Do you know me, Agent Grant?"

Why else would he be looking at her like that?

He finally snapped out of it. "I do. I heard you and Dr. Walton pulled Hillary back from the brink of death."
