“It is just a car accident. Their deaths are merely incidental.”
The bodyguard understood what Brian meant.
There was nothing anyone could do if it was just a car accident, and one could only blame it on Renee and Samantha’s bad luck.
“Understood, Sir.”
After the bodyguard hung up, he told the security guard in the driver’s seat. “The boss wants them dead!”
The security guard nodded and floored the gas pedal to step up the chase.
Samantha had just driven off the highway when a few more cars appeared suddenly behind her. She understood at once that Brian had probably sent more people after being alerted to her actions.
She frowned and made sure to pay more attention as she dealt with them by using traffic to her advantage
.
Samantha had never expected Brian to send eight vehicles in total. Two kept pace with her vehicle from the left and right to restrict her from changing lanes, while the other five vehicles blocked any other cars from driving forward.
Slowly but surely, she was the only car left on the road and could no longer hide in traffic.
She initially thought that they were about to force her vehicle to stop, but she never expected their goal to be far from that. The cars on her left and right rammed her car and sandwiched it directly, almost as if they were clamping her car from both sides.
The next second, the car behind her had accelerated and rammed into the rear of her vehicle.
The impact made Samantha and her two passengers lurch forward all of a sudden.
Renee had no strength to support herself and slammed right against the chair in front of her, causing her to sweat and groan in pain.
Samantha’s expression turned cold.
Brian did not want to bring Renee back—he wanted Renee to pay for everything using her life!
Samantha knew that Brian was a ruthless person after seeing him lock Renee up illegally, but she never expected him to plan even more outrageous acts!
He was willing to take a life just to make sure that none of the nasty things he did would ever see the light of day!
Samantha pursed her lips firmly and held the steering wheel with both hands. She was not about to let him succeed so easily!
“Ronald, Renee, hold onto the grab handles!”
As soon as she said that, she immediately turned the steering wheel to the left and accelerated until she was going 120 miles an hour. That move sent the left car skewing a considerable distance away.
However, she did not show any signs of stopping and was about to continue ramming to her left.
The left car seemed surprised that she was brave enough to drive so recklessly, but when both their front bumpers were about to collide, the person driving the car did not dare to risk it and immediately swerved to avoid her.
Samantha’s smirked. Taking advantage of the gap she had just made, she quickly turned the steering wheel to the right and sped forward.
In addition, the rest of the cars behind that left car ended up colliding with each other because they could not brake in time.
Samantha saw from the rearview mirror that at least four out of eight cars had crashed and could no longer continue driving.
‘Serves them right!’
Ronald had been holding his breath throughout the entire time. He had just seen, with his own eyes, the kind of plot and maneuver that was supposedly only possible in movies!
More importantly, the protagonist driving that car was none other than the young lady who he always thought was a gentle and demure individual!
He started to wonder if he was dreaming!
Ronald lifted his hand unconsciously to give his thigh a hard pinch. It was painful, so much so that he immediately started tearing up.
He was not dreaming!
It was all real…
Then again, he wondered where Samantha even learned her driving skills. It was just amazing!
Although four cars were damaged, the remaining four were still chasing after them. Moreover, Samantha’s car might not be able to hold on any longer after suffering the damage from earlier.
It would be very dangerous if the chase continued.
Simply colliding with them like that would not cut it, it would be better to outsmart those cars.
Samantha bluntly instructed. “Ronald, get me directions to the nearest shopping mall!”
Ronald immediately snapped back to his senses and took out his cell phone. He immediately fetched directions on his cell phone and said, “There’s a mall some ten minutes away.”
“Perfect.”
Once the car drove into the mall’s underground parking lot, Samantha parked the car at a hidden corner. She then said to Ronald, “Let’s split up, Ronald. I’ll lure them away while you bring Renee to Professor Cornell. Protecting her is your utmost priority!”
Ronald refused without a second thought. “Mrs. Barker, I’ll be the one who’s going to lure them away. It’s very dangerous right now because they’re getting more and more anxious!”
“But—”
Ronald interrupted her. “Aside from the fact that I was explicitly told to protect you, it is my duty as a man to look after girls like you. Whatever the situation is, I’m the one who has to protect you two. I can’t let you protect me!”
“If something happens to you, I won’t be able to go back and see Mr. Barker anymore!”
He then unfastened his seat belt and got out of the car. After going around to the driver’s seat, he opened the car door and dragged Samantha out without letting her protest. “Mrs. Barker, I’ll lure them away while you bring Renee to escape.”
Samantha still felt uneasy and was about to say something when Ronald urged her, “They’ll catch up to us if you don’t leave, and when that happens, none of us will have a chance to escape!”
“Don’t worry, Mrs. Barker. I’m not their target. They won’t do anything to me if they catch up to me, but you’ll be in danger if they get their hands on you.”
His words made sense.
Samantha closed her eyes and said, “Be very careful, Ronald!”
She quickly walked to the rear seat, helped Renee out, and supported her as they went to the elevator entrance.
Ronald drove the car out of the underground parking lot and the four cars were about half a minute behind him as they continued the chase.
However, the car had suffered a considerable amount of damage and could no longer pick up speed. It was quickly overtaken and surrounded by those four cars, forcing Ronald to come to a stop.
The bodyguard had already recovered a bit of his strength by then. He got out of his car and immediately walked over to Ronald’s car.
He opened the car door at once, only to discover that there was only one man left inside the car. Samantha and Renee were no longer there.
His face changed all of a sudden.
He immediately took out his cell phone and dialed Brian’s number. “Sir, we’ve been had. We lost Samantha and Renee!”
…
Samantha went to a clothing store at the mall and bought two new sets of clothes—one for her and another for Renee—as a precaution.
After that, she decided against calling a taxi and brought Renee to the subway station that was connected to the mall. They walked along with a flow of people and got on the subway.
Samantha spotted an empty seat and asked Renee to sit down. She then stood in front of Renee and held the handrail in one hand while dialing Selby’s number with the other.
It was still the same robotic voice: ‘The phone number you have dialed has been switched off!’
Renee had a profoundly dejected expression when she saw the situation.
Samantha squatted down and held Renee’s cold hand. “Don’t worry. I promise to bring you to Professor Cornell’s home and let you see him!”
An hour and a half later, Samantha helped Renee to the door of Selby’s villa and reached out to ring the doorbell.
She heard footsteps coming up to the door and it did not take long before the door swung open.
Samantha’s expression changed dramatically when she saw who was standing before her!
