The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1709

But just as they cleared the gates, heavily armed trucks intercepted them.

Someone had tipped Mr. Charles off that Dewitt's VIPs were elite Solenian doctors.

Rumor had it they were a legendary grandfather-granddaughter duo with miraculous skills.

Even though Mr. Charles was highly skeptical of their unconventional methods, he was desperate enough to try anything.

Mr. Charles's top enforcer personally led the interception squad to block their path.

"Arthur, word on the street is Dewitt's friends are top-tier surgeons. Why didn't you give the Patriarch a heads-up?"

"You know our boss hasn't slept in weeks worrying about his grandson."

Arthur let out a nervous laugh. "It's not that I was hiding them."

"These doctors are on a massive time crunch, and honestly, I already asked them. They don't have much confidence in treating the young master's condition."

Arthur was a smooth talker, carefully choosing his words to avoid offending anyone while leaving no room for argument.

"Whether they have confidence or not, they need to examine the patient first."

The enforcer's smile never wavered, but his posture was aggressively unyielding.

As expected, when it came to his grandson, Mr. Charles refused to compromise an inch.

Even Dewitt's name didn't carry enough weight to override this order.

Arthur cast a helpless look at Claire.

Claire remained perfectly composed. "Arthur already briefed us on the young master's condition."

"It's not that we refuse to help, but the situation is incredibly critical and cannot be resolved with a quick fix."

"I do have a counter-proposal, however."

The enforcer, Gavin Charles, turned his intense gaze to Claire, instantly recognizing the young woman as the shot-caller.

"What kind of proposal?"

Gavin's personality was exactly like his reputation—hard, relentless, and unyielding.
