As Rachel casually leaned on David’s shoulder, her nonchnt demeanor suggested she wasn’t
concerned about the three heavy-duty SUVs at all.
Yann. persistent as ever, inquired, “Miss Grey, feel free to cry out if you’re scared…”
“Why don’t you give me a demonstration first?” Rachel teasingly raised an eyebrow, giving him at
yful smile.
Yann was speechless.
“These vehicles have merely been upgraded for speed after modifications; they’re not as ferocious as
they appear, Rachel remarked indifferently. “If you lose your cool now, wouldn’t I have a legitimate
reason to question your capabilities?”
From the passenger seat, Billy nearly burst into apuse!
This was the woman his boss had taken a liking to. Even in moments like these, she managed to
remain incredibly level-headed.
Yann was somewhat persistent but lost his previous mischievous intent, asking genuinely, “Miss Grey,
are you well-versed in modified cars?”
“Just a random interest during my downtime,” she replied nonchntly.
In the midst of their conversation, one of the SUVs suddenly elerated, cutting the convoy in half.
Another car, seemingly out of control, charged toward the one carrying David and Rachel.
The intense collision caused the passengers to lose their bnce.
Instinctively, David pulled Rachel into his arms for protection.
“Mr. Jones, Miss Grey, hold on tight!” Yann eximed, aggressively turning the steering wheel. As the
SUV hit once more, he managed to swing the rear end out of the way.
Simultaneously, the car trailing behind kept pace. Both vehicles worked in tandem, forcing the
aggressive SUV to flip over onto the ground.
Yann did not ease up, continuing to press hard on the gas pedal, pushing the car a few yards forward.
until it finally collided head-on with the massive boulders. N?velDrama.Org owns all content.
At this moment, the car came to a stop and the convoy halted in an orderly fashion. The doors opened
simultaneously, and the well-trained bodyguards in ck exited the vehicles, forming at circle around
the three SUVs.
Yann and Billy unbuckled their seatbelts and stepped out of the car together to assess the situation.
Inside the car, David’s arm was wrapped tightly around Rachel’s waist, while his other arm rested on
the door frame, appearing bothnguid and casual.
He gazed down at Rachel in his arms.
Their eyes met unexpectedly.
David slightly raised his eyebrows, a faint smile ying on his lips. “Are you scared now?”
“Yes,” Rachel said, her eyes sparkling with mischief as she nestled her head into his arms and feigned
a frightened voice. “I’m really terrified.”
David yed along,forting her, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”
At this moment, Billy and Yann returned to the front of the car and knocked on the ss window.
David slowly rolled down the window, and Billy reported, “Sir, there’s no one in the car.”
Hearing this, David’s face remained expressionless, impossible to discern his emotions.
He nced indifferently at the overturned off-road vehicle. Leave arge group of people to handle the
scene. The rest can return”
Yann furrowed his brow, clearly wanting to speak up, but upon noticing Rachel in the car, he swallowed
his words.
The group readied themselves and headed towards Peckham Pce once more.
However, this time, Yann was noticeably less lively than before, preupied and nearly colliding with
other vehicles. Thankfully, Billy quickly grabbed the steering wheel.
Sweating nervously, Billy nced at David and Rachel in the backseat and scolded in a low voice,
“What the hell are you thinking!
Yann snapped back to reality, ncing at David and Rachel in the backseat through the rearview
mirror.
He pursed his lips, ultimately unable to resist asking, “Sir, aside from the old residence, who else
knows about your return to Aureliana?”
Yann had always been careful to keep David’s whereabouts a secret, as there were far too many
people lurking in the shadows, watching their every move.
The three cars that suddenly appeared clearly came prepared.
David heard Yann’s question and lifted his indifferent gaze.
He didn’t say anything, but his eyes pierced straight into Yann’s soul like a sharp knife.
Yann shuddered and quickly exined, “L.. I just feel that this situation is too strange. Those three cars
clearly came prepared. They calcted the time we left the old residence and deliberately ambushed
us on our only route. Moreover, there was no one in those three cars…”
That was the strangest part.
They had brought people to surround the vehicles, yet found them empty..
Furthermore, no human traces had been left behind.
At this moment, Rachel, who waszily leaning on David’s shoulder, chuckled. “Autonomous driving
technology.”
Yann’s brows furrowed with annoyance.
He thought that Miss Grey was utterlycking in perception, causing trouble at such an inopportune.
time!
David tenderly held Rachel’s delicate hand in his, his fingers gently caressing the protruding bones. on
the back of her hand. He looked deeply into Rachel’s eyes, the corners of his mouth curving into a
faint, yet affectionate smile, before asking with genuine curiosity, “Did you find anything?”
Rachel took a deep breath. “That’s an assembled car. It shouldn’t be surprising to have autonomous
driving technology.”
“What else?” David asked in a doting tone.
Rachel raised her eyebrows and nced at him. “Aside from the exterior, the rest of that car is custom-
built. I bet you won’t be able to track down the owner at all.”
Upon hearing this, a contemptuous smile shed across Yann. “Miss Grey, you might not be aware, but
even a custom-built car leaves traces. The frame and the engine each have unique codes. As long as
we follow those codes, we won’te up empty-handed.”
“Really?” Rachel looked at Yann with an enigmatic smile.
The smile on her face was non-threatening, but it revealed an undeniable edge.
Yann telt a lump in hus throat. The words he wanted to say lodged there.
Just then. Yanny’s phone rang
Instinctively, he picked up the call and spoke with a hint of unidentifiable irritation, “What is it!”
The person on the other end of the phone happened to be the bodyguard who had stayed at the
Tjunction to deal with the ident.
The bodyguard quickly reported everything.
The words fell upon Yann’s ears, and he abruptly mmed the brakes, halting the car.
Yann’s eyes grew wider with each passing moment, staring at Rachel in absolute terror.
It wasn’t until the phone call ended that he began to regain hisposure, his gaze fixated on Rachel.
his voice strained and h o ar se. “You… Could you be the mastermind behind all this?”
Before he could finish his sentence, Billy, seated in the passenger’s side, smacked him on the back of
the head. “What kind of nonsense are you spouting!”
Was this kid tired of living?
How dare he use Miss Grey in front of Mr. Jones!
Why was he in such a hurry to impress the King of Hell?
Yann btedly realized his mistake, blurting out his suspicions, and found himself at a loss,
overwhelmed by embarrassment.
