The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1696

Barely moments after they left, a heavily armed search squad kicked down Flora's doors.

Fortunately, the sweep turned up absolutely nothing. The mercenaries only succeeded in trashing the place.

Flora had to grease some palms with a thick stack of cash just to get the plague out of her lobby.

Once the squad drove off, her lead enforcer finally spoke up. "Boss, did you know the cops were coming? Is that why you sold them off so fast?"

"Those people from Solenia didn't look like they were here to buy herbs. They looked like an extraction team."

"I bet you anything they came specifically for those two brothers."

Otherwise, there were no coincidences that perfect in this world.

"Shane, some things are better left unsaid."

"We all share the same blood. If we can help our own people out, we do it."

Flora patted her enforcer on the shoulder. "The reason I've built this empire is because I honor my word."

"There isn't a single girl on my payroll who's here against her will!"

"Remember, Shane, no matter where we live, we will always be from Solenia!"

Shane stared at her, dumbfounded. "Boss... so they really were an extraction team?"

Good Lord, he had just been guessing.

"Who cares who they are? The only thing that matters is that their cash cleared."

Twenty thousand dollars. The corrupt cops here would never pay that kind of premium.

Those bastards always tried to solicit her girls for free. When did her own countrymen ever act that cheap?

Flora worshipped money. But if her fellow countrymen could help line her pockets, she was more than happy to facilitate their survival.

Meanwhile, Claire's group had just pulled away when they spotted the police cruisers swarming Flora's compound. They were stunned.

"Do you think Flora knew the raid was coming?"

If she hadn't been tipped off, the timing of her selling off the two operatives was nothing short of miraculous.
