She Took The House The Car And My Heart

Chapter 883:

As they descended in the elevator and emerged through the hotel’s grand entrance, they encountered an unexpected obstacle—another group of bodyguards formed a protective barrier before them. The atmosphere crackled with tension as the two security teams sized each other up, neither willing to back down.

“This is Ms. Briggs, Mr. Shaw’s… special someone,” Gerard intervened diplomatically. “He’s fallen ill and lost consciousness. She’s personally escorting him to receive medical attention.”

Kristian’s security team exchanged suspicious glances. A logical inconsistency troubled them—if Kristian truly needed medical assistance, wouldn’t they have been called to help facilitate his departure? Something about this scenario felt off.

“If you want to keep your job, I suggest you clear a path,” Gerard murmured to the lead bodyguard with cold, calculated intensity. “Mr. Shaw orchestrated this whole fainting episode to get Ms. Briggs’s nurturing attention. If you disrupt his plan, you’ll surely face his wrath.”

The leader hesitated for a moment, uncertainty written across his face.
