The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1673

“Complex security. Ma'am, your downstairs neighbor reported a leak coming from your bathroom. I need to come in and take a look.”

What a terrible excuse!

Claire scoffed inwardly.

“Give me a second.”

Claire didn't open the door. Rory did.

“Excuse me...” The Fake Guard's expression shifted the moment he saw it wasn't Claire.

He knew what Claire sounded like. The person who just spoke was definitely her, so why was there a different woman standing here?

Claire poked her head out from the kitchen, casually munching on a cucumber. “Let him in to check it out,” she mumbled.

So there were two women inside?

He hadn't noticed if this other girl lived with Claire, but he had definitely seen her enter the building before.

The Fake Guard adjusted his cap and thoughtfully slipped on a pair of shoe covers.

Rory guarded the front door while another figure emerged from the study.

It was Jace!

To make matters worse, Claire had retreated to the living room, putting a considerable distance between them.

“Jace, go with the security guard and check if there's a leak anywhere.”

Security guard?

He was cursing violently in his head.

Why was there a man in this apartment too?

Grabbing Claire and interrogating her alone would have been easy, but dealing with two extra people complicated things immensely.

Even if he possessed the combat skills to subdue all three of them, what good would it do?

If there was too much noise and the cops showed up, his entire mission would be ruined!

As The Fake Guard hesitated, Jace realized his sudden appearance had stalled the man's attack.

Clutching his stomach, Jace groaned. “Oh, man. I need to hit the bathroom. Whatever we ordered last night is destroying me!”

He sprinted into the bathroom and slammed the door shut.
