The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 168

“And you still have the guts to come outside?” Claire shot a nervous glance at the car they were sitting in. Was it going to blow up again?

“It won’t,” Dane replied, almost like he could read her mind. “Last time, that explosion was actually a plan I set up myself, using their own tricks against them.”

“The people from Apex have all been arrested. It’s not easy for anyone from outside to get into the country. And honestly, the local experts here are no joke. Without proper weapons, it’s pretty much impossible for anyone to get to me.”

So for now, he was safe. Or at least, safe enough.

“Does Baldrick know you live like this every day? Always on the edge?” Claire asked.

Dane went quiet.

Claire realized she might’ve crossed a line. “Sorry, I shouldn’t be poking into your family stuff.”

It was his private business. Maybe even something classified. She really had no right to ask.

Dane shook his head. “It’s alright. He doesn’t know. He’s getting older and I don’t want him worrying about this kind of thing.”

“Got it,” Claire said, nodding quickly. “You can trust me. I’m good at keeping secrets. I won’t say a word.”

She barely finished her sentence when the car suddenly jolted.

“Dane, there are a few cars following us!” Claire glanced at the rearview mirror, then out the window. She caught on right away.

These maniacs behind them were trying to force their car off the road.

They were coming up on the city’s moat. Did these guys actually want to send them into the water?

Claire’s face tightened.

The driver was steady enough, but he wasn’t as experienced as the last guy. When something like this happened out of nowhere, he just wasn’t quick enough.

Claire looked at Dane. “Do you trust me?”

Dane stared at her, confused. “What are you planning to do?”
