Chapter 1240


    The impact was so strong that I almost flew out of my seat. I shakily tried to regain consciousness. I


    turned to look at Hendrix, and I saw blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.


    He was covered with debris from the crash and was unconscious.


    "Hendrix, Hendrix." I shifted closer and stretched out my hand to help him. I kept calling his name


    until he regained consciousness. His dazed eyes met mine and he said in a weak voice, "Quick, find


    Tobias. He knows what to do!"


    It was at that moment where I realize that there were a few ck vehicles approaching. Hendrix


    urged through his pain, "Hurry up, or none of us can leave."


    The cars were getting closer and closer and I knew that if I didn''t go and get help. Both of us will


    suffer, with no hope of rescue.


    I hurriedly climbed out of the car and stumbled to hide behind a wall not far away.


    The ck vehicles stopped, and several brawny men dressed in solid ck got out of the cars.


    They pulled roughly Hendrix out of the car. In order to protect me, Hendrix had tried to shelter me


    from the brunt of the crash. Even from a distance, I could see how badly injured he was. The men


    pulled him out of the car and pushed him into one of the ck cars, not caring about his injury.


    Then, a man stepped forward, and with a poker face, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, then


    threw the cigarette butt on the ground next to our car. I hadn''t noticed that the oil tank of the car was


    busted in the collision. But I did notice that all 4 tires were t. No wonder the car was out of control


    earlier. They had shot out our tires.


    The cigarette butt touched the gasoline on the ground and ignited. In a blink of an eye, mes


    appeared and were about to consume the whole car.


    "It''s going to explode," I thought to myself. I sighed at the loss of a million-dor car. Acting quickly, I


    moved further away from the crash site.


    However, I didn''t dare to go far. I stopped when I felt safe enough to avoid the explosion and


    immediately called the police. I wanted to call Tobias, but to my dismay, I didn''t have his phone


    number. I called one of the numbers I that Pedro had saved for me instead. Relief swamped me


    when the call connected and I heard someone on the other end of the line say, "Miss!"

    It was the man my father had arranged for me in Oand. I let out a shaky breath of relief and said,


    "Hendrix and I were targeted. He was injured in a car crash and taken away. Our car is gone too.


    Can you find Hendrix as soon as possible?"


    After a moment of silence, the person answered, "Okay, but we will need to get to you first and


    ensure your safety!


    I nodded and agreed.


    Without Tobias'' phone number, I could only wait for my father''s people to arrive. A middle-aged man


    arrived swiftly and after confirming that I was safe, said, "The police will being over. You may


    need to go to the police station for them to take down your testimony. Don''t worry about Mr.


    Hendrix. I''ve sent people after Mr. Roberts. It looks like this trap was set long in advance. I''m afraid


    we will have to make a long-term n."


    I nodded and said as calmly as possible, "Okay. Hendrix asked me to go to the Hayes Manor to look


    for Tobias. Maybe he knows something that can help us!"


    "Okay!"


    The guy my father sent to protect me was called Sheridan Lawson. Sheridan was in charge of


    managing assets in Oand and has been loyally working as a subordinate for many years.
