The Scorned Heiress's Hidden Empire (by Jade Quinn) novel Chapter 328

Otherwise, how could a guy as tough as Roy have gotten hurt?

But the second the words left his mouth, Zion could have sworn he saw the corner of Gavin’s lips twitch.

He froze in shock.

No way. The lighting had to be messing with him. He had definitely seen it wrong.

There was no way this big, deadpan guy actually knew how to smile.

Gavin stopped in front of him. He was a little taller, his whole presence cold and intimidating.

Up ahead, a car sped off down the road. Through the windshield, Zion caught sight of Skyla’s bodyguard inside. There was no question Skyla was in that car too. He was just about to go after them when Gavin suddenly spoke.

“Zion.”

Zion paused for a second. So this dead–faced giant actually knew his name.

“Move.” Zion was furious. “Chris took Ms. Scott, and now you’re still trying to protect Skyla? I’m telling you, that’s not happening.”

Compared to Zion’s anger, Gavin was much calmer. His tone gave little away as he said, “Skyla still has a use.”

A matching donor still hadn’t been found for Richie, which meant Skyla remained the backup option.

Chris was waiting.

Zion’s backup didn’t make it to the hospital in time. By the time the Zeller family’s men chased after Skyla, Victor’s people had already arrived.

The two sides clashed, and in the chaos, no one noticed the Xander family’s security team appear near the hospital’s side entrance.

Sitting in the car, Skyla said to her bodyguard, “Take me to Westbury.”

“Ms. Jasper, Westbury is too exposed. It isn’t safe,” the bodyguard said.

But there was a stubborn, almost obsessive look in her eyes. “Take me to Westbury.”

She lowered her gaze to the ruby bracelet on her wrist.

Chris had known from the beginning that it was not the bracelet that had belonged to Winter’s mother, and he had still given it to her without hesitation.

The bracelet was fake, and she had accepted that. As long as it came from Chris, she would treasure it.
