The Unwavering Heart That Broke (Nathalie and Lance) novel Chapter 546

Hanging up, he immediately jerked the steering wheel, making a sharp U-turn.

Nathalie braced herself against the door. "Where are we going?"

"Lorelei finished Jasper's antidote. We're heading over to check on it," Lance replied, his focus locked on the road.

Nathalie pressed her lips together and quietly turned her attention to the passing cityscape.

At the Adams Estate.

The two SUVs rolled to a stop in the driveway, one right behind the other.

The bodyguards shoved Lorelei out of the trailing vehicle. She stumbled onto the gravel, her jaw dropping as she took in the sprawling, majestic grounds of the property.

"Damn, you guys are loaded."

She practically vibrated with greed as she looked up at Lance. "I changed my mind. A few thousand isn't going to cut it. I want millions!"

Lance looked down at her with dead, empty eyes. "If this cure works, I'll pay you whatever you want. But if it's a dud, you won't be going to prison. I'll make sure you wish you were dead."

A suffocating, lethal aura rolled off him. The sheer brutality lurking in his dark gaze was paralyzing.

Lorelei instinctively staggered backward, thoroughly spooked by the sheer menace radiating from him.

She shrank into her shoulders, losing her bravado. "It works. I swear it works."

She was getting those millions, whatever it took!

The group moved inside the grand foyer. As soon as the head butler saw them arrive, he signaled for the guards to drag Felice away.

As Felice was hauled past them, her eyes locked onto Nathalie, flashing with pure, unadulterated venom.

Upstairs, Jasper was heavily sedated, deep in sleep.

Lance turned to Lorelei. "Hand over a sample. I need my team to run labs on it first."

Lorelei shook her head vigorously. "No need. I promise you it's the real deal! If it was a fake, I wouldn't have dared call your men over!"

"Shut up and hand it over!" a bodyguard barked, stepping toward her.
