Chapter 643
"I''lle along, too." Sally was Kelly''s biological mother, and she couldn''t bear the thought of waiting
around at home after knowing her daughter was in trouble. "Let''s all go together, then." Adam was
close to panicking at that point, so the two couples and Nelson rushed out of the house as quickly as
possible. There were a few of them, so Adam suggested taking the seven-seater. He hopped into the
driver''s seat without asking the driver toe along and sped over to the location Kelly had sent him.
After Kelly got off her call with Adam, she sent Rosemi a text. She told Rosemi to get things ready as
Adam was on his way out. ''Is your mothering along?'' Rosemi asked.
''They''ll definitelye together,'' Kelly replied withplete certainty. Even though their rtionship
was tense in recent times, Kelly was sure that both Adam and Charlotte would show up if she ever got
into trouble. Daddy will always find a way to resolve all the issues I struggle with, Kelly thought. If
only… I don''t want to be so harsh toward them. But this is all Kendall''s fault. I wouldn''t have to kill
Mommy and Daddy if Kendall didn''t try to snatch my inheritance. I''ll be left with nothing if I don''t fight for
this, Kelly thought. She couldn''t stand the thought of being kicked out of the household without a single
penny to her name.
Previously, before Kendall showed up, Kelly used to be her parents'' precious daughter. Everyone had
assumed that she would take over Parker Corporation. However, things changed after Kendall
appeared in their lives. ''Alright. I''ll update you once I''ve seeded with my n. The one you ran into
is someone I''ve arranged, so if the n fails, you can wait for Adam and Charlotte to show up before
you send that person to the hospital. If everything goes well, you can just pay the victim some money to
settle things. I''ve already paid the person on my end, so he won''t try to mess with you,'' Rosemi
exined.
''Sure.'' After sending a brief text to Rosemi, Kelly deleted all the messages they had exchanged. She
felt rather conflicted as she waited for Rosemi to execute her n. They''re my adoptive parents, after
all… They were the ones who nurtured me, gave me a quality life, and provided me with a good
education. They might be more biased toward Kendall now, but I''m sure they''ll still leave some stuff
behind for me. I''m such an ungrateful child for doing this… Kelly lowered her head and nced at her
phone while the angel and the devil had a full-blown argument in her mind.
The devil told Kelly that she had to be heartless to be sessful. If you want to get half of the Parker
Family''s inheritance, you''ll need them to be dead! If they don''t die, you''ll only get the amount they''re
willing to spare for you. Meanwhile, the angel told her to show more gratitude toward her family. They
found their biological daughter, and it makesplete sense for them to hand everything down to their
biological daughter. Any sane person would do the same thing! Furthermore, judging by the amount of
care they have for you, they would probably leave you some stuff as well. Is there a need to kill them
over such a matter? Do you think you''d get away with this just because you have it all nned out?
You can''t keep a secret forever—you should not do things that you''re going to be ashamed of.
Both the angel and the devil argued among themselves for a while, but greed, hatred, and resentment
got the upper hand in the fight. In the end, Kelly didn''t call her adoptive father at all. She watched as
the time ticked by.
Meanwhile, Adam, who had no idea that he was driving his passengers to the end of their lives, sped
along the highway. "Where did Kelly''s ident happen, Adam?" Charlotte was seated in the passenger
seat, and she lowered the car window as the air in the car felt rather stuffy. She wasn''t sure if it was the
air or if she was just overly anxious. Adam lowered the window on the driver''s side as well.
Once the windows were lowered, a strong breeze gushed into the car as a result of Adam''s speedy
driving. He felt calmer with the wind against his face, so he ended up opening the sunroof as well.
"We''ll arrive after crossing the Orapolis Bridge in front," he replied.
Charlotte gazed at the Orapolis Bridge ahead of them. Beneath the bridge was a river that ran through
the town—it was a wide river with deep waters that allowed boats to travel in it.
Adam drove the car onto the bridge and was halfway across it when arge truck on the oppositene
seemed to lose control. The truck swerved and spun in the direction of Adam''s car. It ran over the traffic
barrier that separated both roads before charging directly toward Adam''s car. The people in the rest of
the cars on Adam''s side of the road were shocked to witness this scene, and Adam was just as
stunned. As he saw the truck charging toward him, he instinctively spun his steering wheel in the
opposite direction to avoid therge vehicle.
However, he spun the steering a little too much, and his car ended up hitting the barrier on the other
side of the road. The barrier was too weak and flimsy to handle the sudden impact of multiple vehicles
—the cars in front and behind Adam had ended up turning in the same direction as he did. As a result,
all three of the cars that were trying to avoid the truck ended up hitting the barrier and falling more than
ten feet down into the river below them.
The driver of the truck managed to brake his vehicle just in time, so it didn''t fall into the river with the
cars. Meanwhile, a few of the cars that had been further down the road tried their best to stop their
vehicles just before they hit the truck. Some of the cars were speeding a little too fast, so they ended
up rear-ending the cars in front of them. Bang! Bang! Bang! Multiple cars ended up hitting each other.
Soon enough, traffic began to build up on both sides of the road.
A few of the drivers saw the cars being thrown into the river, and they shakily pulled their phones out to
make a police report before they could even calm themselves down. After Adam''s car fell into the river,
the car continued sinking deep into the waters. The passengers in the car were too stunned to react at
first. Fortunately for them, both Charlotte and Adam had lowered their windows earlier. As the car
continued to sink, the passengers'' survival instincts kicked in, and they hastily wriggled their way out of
the car by pushing their bodies out of the window.
Fortunately, all five of them knew how to swim. Adam and Charlotte, in particr, were at an
advantage. They had attended all sorts of lessons as children, and swimming was one of the skills they
had both mastered. Meanwhile, the Woodses were all able to swim as they had once lived in a small
town where there was a huge river. In the past, there was a case where someone fell and drowned in
the river. After that ident, the vigers made it a point to learn how to swim.
The five of them had the desire to survive and were equipped with the skills to keep them alive.
Furthermore, the car windows had been open when they fell into the river. So, all five of them ended up
swimming to the surface of the waters. A few of the boats nearby had witnessed the car ident, so
there were boats that had rushed over to help them out. When the boat owners saw a few heads
surfacing in the water, they hastily threw life buoys and ropes in that direction.

On top of that, there were a few boat owners who were better at swimming, and those individuals put
on their life jackets before they plunged themselves into the river. They wanted to save the people who
were in the other two cars. Unfortunately, the river was too deep, and the other two cars didn''t have
their windows down. The people in those cars didn''t manage to escape their vehicles, so they ended
up sinking to the bottom of the river.
The flustered boat owners did their best to help Adam and the rest of the survivors. Eventually, all five
of the people in Adam''s car were sessfully rescued and brought onto the boats. All five of them
were still in shock after they arrived onnd. They were immediately sent to the hospital. It was only
then that they realized how they had nearly lost their lives. If they hadn''t lowered the car windows; if
they couldn''t swim; if they had acted any slower than they did… They would''ve lost their lives in that
river.
They knew that two other cars had fallen into the river with them, and they knew that no other survivors
had made it onto the boats there. So, they were certain that the passengers of the other two cars had
been lost to the deep waters.
