“It’s a long story…” Natalie trailed off. She went silent for a moment, but she eventually looked into
Derek’s eyes and shed him a faint smile. “How about this? If we survive today, I’ll tell you all about it.”
The calm look in her eyes made Derek’s eyes widen in shock.
“Natalie, we’re in a runaway vehicle. What a perfect timing to make such a promise,” Derek said. He
couldn’t help but feel that Natalie had a lot of secrets. Shortly after, he let out a smile and joked, “It’s a
deal then. I don’t want to die here anyway.”
With a bitter smile, Natalie nodded. “You better cooperate or else I’ll really leave you alone in the car.”
“Are you trying to scare me?” Derek smirked. “I can help you. If I call my brother, he can try to buy us
some time.” “Is your brother really that capable?” Natalie asked, raising an eyebrow in surprise. She
doubted it, but on second thought, for someone who worked in the showbiz, Derek still had a childish
side of him, which was probably because he came from a loving family. Eventually, she shook her head
and smiled. “Anything can help us will be great.”
“He’s not that influential, but he can at least clear the traffic for us,” Derek said as he dialed his
brother’s number. As soon as the call connected, he said, “Hey, man! The car that I’m in is going out of
control and I need your help.”
A calm, yet powerful voice came from the phone’s speaker, saying, “What trouble did you get yourself
in this time? What’s the car’s te number?”
Derek patted Mesue’s shoulder. “Could you please tell me the te number?”
After Mesue told him the te number, Derek asked his brother for help. “You just need to clear the
traffic and keep our car running smoothly. Can you do that for me?” Derek’s brother heaved a long sigh
before he replied “Drive in the direction of Wildepond Road. I’ll ask someone to lead the way for you.”
“Thank you, so much!” Derek smiled. “Don’t tell anyone else about this, okay?”
Derek’s brother sighed again and gritted his teeth. “You little rascal! Just remember toe back safe
and sound or else I’ll tell Mom all the bad things you’ve done!” “Why are you nagging me like that? You
sound more and more like Wilder now, old man!” Derek irritably scratched his ear.
Just before he hung up the call, his brother shouted, “I’m still young, you brat!”
Natalie chuckled upon hearing their interaction. She then asked Mesue to drive to Wildepond Road
ording to Derek’s brother’s instructions.
“Sorry about that.” Derek let out a shy smile as he scratched the back of his head. “My brother is kind
of stubborn.”
The drive to Wildepond Road was quite smooth. They hadn’t encountered a red light at all along the
way, and when they reached Wildepond Road, they could barely see any cars around them.
Surprised, Natalie looked at Derek and asked, “Just who is your brother?”
Derek proudly raised his chin. “My brother is a hacker. Hacking into the traffic system is a piece of cake
for him. Now it’s Brandon’s turn.”
“I’ll call him and ask how everything is going,” Natalie replied as beads of sweat began to form on her
palms. At that moment, several ck cars suddenly caught up with them and all of them had familiar
te numbers. They were the cars that the Larson Group’s b*odyguards usually drove.
The ck cars sped up and surrounded them from both sides. Eventually, they were parallel to the car
where Natalie was.
Natalie lifted her gaze to meet the eyes of the man who sat in the passenger seat of one of the ck
cars.
It was none other than Brandon!
It seemed he hade straight from a meeting. His suit jacket was impably tailored and, despite
his disheveled hair, he exuded an air of aristocracy.
“Are you okay?” Brandon pulled his tie loose, his expression serious as he stared at Natalie. It seemed
he was only relieved when he saw that she was okay.
“I’m fine. Do you have any ideas on how to fix this? It’s not exactly a long-term solution to have Mesue
constantly control the car.” The car was moving at high speeds and Natalie’s voice was almost
drowned out by the wind.
“Don’t worry. I’ve found a way out of this.” Brandon spoke with conviction. Natalie let out a sigh of relief
and reassured Mesue that there was hope as long as she persisted.
Derek didn’t understand why Natalie seemed so relieved at Brandon’s words. They were still in a
dangerous situation, trapped in the car what couldn’t stop!
Derek shivered from the cold and sneezed twice in a row. He red at Brandon impatiently and said,
“What’s the move? Spill it.”
“That’s not your concern. Just trust me.” Brandon’s tone was icy. He turned to Natalie and said softly,
“The rescue team will be here soon. Hang in there.”

Just as he finished speaking, the sound of a helicopter filled the air.
Natalie looked up, shielding her eyes from the bright light with her hands. It took a moment for her to
make out the helicopter in the sky.
The cabin door opened and rescuers lowered a lifesavingdder.
Brandon’s n was clear: he intended to rescue them one by one using the helicopter.
“You’re driving a convertible. The speed of the ne is now matched with the speed of the car. Try
climbing up thedder.” Brandon half leaned out the window and issued themand.
“I can do this. Don’t worry.” Natalie forced a smile and grabbed hold of thedder, testing its sturdiness.
Natalie quickly pulled her hair back into a ponytail with a rubber band on her wrist. She then patted
Derek’s shoulder and said firmly, “You go first.”
“No way. I’m a man. How could I leave two women behind?” Derek shrugged off Natalie’s hand and
attempted to climb into the driver’s seat. “Mesue, I’ll take over the driving. You go with Natalie.”
“You little brat, you’re calling death now!” Mesue grabbed Derek’s neck with one hand and said coldly,
“Don’t try to be a hero at a time like this. If anything happens to Mrs. Larson and me because of your
recklessness, I won’t let you off the hook.”
