Chapter 1012 The Brakes Were Broken


    "Derek is in my car..." As J was about to exin, the car suddenly sped up. Derek''s body


    rocked back and he pounced on J.


    "Hey!" J said as she pushed Derek away with icy eyes. "Don''t you understand English? I told


    you to behave yourself!"


    "Look, I didn''t mean it!" Derek was pushed to a corner. Groaning, he said, "How could you me


    me? The car suddenly sped up. I didn''t mean to take advantage of you!"


    J rolled her eyes at Derek, and then looked at Mesue.


    Instinctively, she turned her head only to find a few cars behind them. Were those cars pursuing us?


    Looking worried, Mesue tried to control the direction of the car. "No, I just wanted to put the brakes


    on, but I realized something was wrong with the car and I couldn''t stop it at all."


    "Are you kidding me?" Derek got thoughtful. In a shaky voice, he asked. "Are you trying to force me


    out of the car like that? Don''t think I''ll be fooled!"


    "Don''t talk nonsense," J said seriously. "We''re not that stupid. We won''t risk our own lives just


    to drive you out of the car."


    She paused for a few seconds to think and came to an appalling conclusion. "Someone must have


    tampered with the car. Mesue, did you notice anything unusual? Did something happen when you


    went to get the car?"


    It would normally take Mesue a few minutes to collect the car. Yet, J waited for Mesue toe


    back longer than usual. It was clear that something had urred.


    Mesue let out a loud gasp and said, "I went to the bathroom first before I found Sean''s car. When I


    got in, I indeed noticed that it was a bit difficult to start the car. I thought it was because the weather


    was too cold, or maybe there was something wrong with Sean''s car since he didn''t drive it often, so


    I didn''t pay much attention to it."


    "When Sean went to the banquet, his car was fine. At that point, he told me he had just recently


    bought this convertible. So, how could there be a problem?" J scowled. "Perhaps someone


    tampered with the car while we were at the party."


    She needed to figure out how to deal with it as soon as possible now that it had happened.

    "Mesue, please drive the car—and carefully. I''ll discuss this with Brandon." J had not hung up


    her phone, so she knew that Brandon must have heard her conversation with Misue.


    She picked up her phone. "Brandon," she said. "Did you hear what I and Mesue have been talking


    about?"


    Brandon surely heard it all. Even though he was in a panic, he quickly calmed himself down. "I''ll find


    a solution, but tell Mesue to pick a road where there are as few people as possible in the city to buy


    time and lessen the likelihood of an ident."


    J believed him.


    Even though her voice quivered in the wind, her tone was particrly firm. "Okay, I''ll do my best to


    buy some more time."


    Derek gave J a silent look. She seemed fragile and frightened when she talked to Brandon. The


    moment she hung up the phone, her gaze hardened. Her tone was firm, and her eyes were clear.


    "Nothing will happen to us, so don''t worry.


    Derek narrowed his eyes and a surge of anger rose in his chest. He clicked his tongue in


    displeasure and said, "You are being too arrogant, aren''t you?" How could you expect a mere phone


    call to set me at ease? I don''t believe that Brandon can really find a way to save us!"
