The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1676

“Alright, Adrienne, stop stirring the pot,”

Arthur intervened. Everyone at the FIB headquarters was entirely used to Adrienne ruthlessly teasing her colleagues.

Ulysses simply stood no chance against the cunning director.

“Ulysses, relay our terms to her immediately.”

Exactly as predicted, the moment Ulysses offered Claire the official title of Senior Technical Consultant, she accepted without hesitation.

Only Raymond scoffed, entirely convinced she was just a power-hungry opportunist.

But anyone with half a brain knew she just wanted a legitimate operational cover.

Besides, expecting someone to solve a national crisis on empty promises was completely delusional.

Did they really think a genius admitted to The Cabinda University could be manipulated that easily?

“Have Mr. Green bring you to headquarters tomorrow. He knows the protocol and the route.”

Ulysses had wanted to escort her himself, but Arthur had decreed that too much direct association with agents would paint a massive target on Claire's back.

If Dane brought her, it would simply look like a couple out on a date.

No one would suspect they were heading to a covert intelligence hub.

“Understood,” Claire agreed readily.

The agency immediately contacted Dane, emphasizing the critical nature of the operation.

Dane frowned at the delay. He had a packed schedule tomorrow. “If it's an emergency, let's do it tonight.”

The agency absolutely wanted the drive cracked tonight.

But because they had underestimated Claire's capabilities, they had pushed it to the next day.

“Tonight works for you?” Ulysses's face lit up.

“I need to check Claire's schedule first.” Even though Dane had suggested it, he refused to finalize anything without her consent.

Adrienne muttered under her breath, “See? That's what respecting women looks like. No wonder he has a fiancée.”

The rest of the men in the room?
