Chapter 1070 - 1073: Hubby, Hubby

Leon Rivers and Harold Chapman didn’t dare to move forward; the gunshot had suddenly disrupted their plan, and they didn’t know who fired it.

The car roared past, and Jared Quinn’s vehicle immediately gave chase.

"Call them. If I see anyone following us, I’ll kill you right away," Senator Gu threw a phone at her, issuing a fierce threat as the car sped down the road, with other vehicles quickly moving aside.

Melody Thorne didn’t know who ruined things, but it certainly wasn’t Leon Rivers and Harold Chapman. Could it be a traitor?

She dialed Jared Quinn’s number, "Don’t follow us, I’m fine."

Jared Quinn heard her voice, his resolute jaw tightened, remaining silent.

"Love you, I won’t be in danger. Hang up for now; make sure they all retreat,"

Melody Thorne ended the call and tossed the phone toward the front windshield. "I’ve told them to retreat. No one will follow us anymore, you can stop somewhere."

"You think I’m an idiot, don’t you?" Senator Gu shouted furiously, "Because of you, woman, I’ve lost so many brothers. In just a few days, I’ve fallen from grace to become clueless!"

Melody Thorne thought to herself, who told you to piss off your aunt!

"Senator Gu, you should calm down. How can your men compare to the Hawthorne Family’s army? Having them means having everything," Melody Thorne took out the military order, waved it by the window.

"Stop the car, take your stuff and leave."

"Screech," the car suddenly stopped, and Melody Thorne’s body was involuntarily thrown forward.

Senator Gu blocked her, intent on pressing down to take the military order from her hand.

"Get off me," Melody Thorne’s expression changed instantly, but before she could speak again, something was shoved into her mouth. Senator Gu grabbed her jaw, forcing her to swallow the medicine.

The military order was snatched by Senator Gu, who tried to drive off, but Melody Thorne stabbed several needles into him simultaneously.

Senator Gu’s body slumped onto the front seat, staring at her in disbelief.

Melody Thorne seized the gun and the military order from his hand. "What did you just make me swallow?"

"Want to know? Haha, ask me after you’re dead!" Senator Gu laughed out loud.

Melody Thorne wanted to press further, but their car was surrounded; Leon Rivers’ and Harold Chapman’s people had arrived.

"Sis-in-law, are you okay?" Leon Rivers opened the front car door.

"I’m fine," Melody Thorne threw down the gun and got out of the car, "lock him up for me; I still have questions for him."

"Alright, sis-in-law, Jared is in the car at the back."

"Okay,"

Melody Thorne walked back and got into the car; the rear seat was cold despite the air conditioning being off. Looking up, Jared Quinn’s handsome face seemed frozen over, looking quite glacial.

"Jared Quinn?"

Melody Thorne pulled at the corners of her lips, inching closer to him, seating herself directly in his lap, then raised her head to lightly bite his jaw. "Honey?"

The man beneath didn’t react, but the frost on his face had noticeably thawed.

"Honey?"

Melody Thorne’s teeth gently moved from his jaw to his ear, coaxing with soft calls, "Honey, honey."

The lips suddenly captured hers, leaving her no room to breathe, as lips and tongues intertwined, breaths mingling.
