Chapter 148

    Chapter 148


    Fiona had been a journalist for more than ten years, and she started her career as a war


    correspondent.


    In her pursuit of major news, she encountered countless dangers.


    Even if the situation was not good for her at the moment, she didn’t panic.


    The approaching footsteps made her tense up and ready to attack.


    The woman looked at Fiona hiding behind the body coldly. She aimed the gun at the man’s waist and


    pulled the trigger. The bullet prated the man’s waist, hitting Fiona’s curled–up leg.


    Fortunately, the kic energy of the bullet was not strong enough and only hurt her leg. It did not get


    embedded in the flesh and fell to the ground.


    Even so, she gasped in pain.


    The woman heard the noise and continued to shoot at one spot.


    Fiona guessed her movements in advance and shifted her position.


    The bullet grazed her back and hit the steel container.


    Thinking of thest bullet left in the woman’s gun, she let go of her shield and lunged at the woman.


    The woman looked at Fiona and shot her in the heart.


    Fiona bent down a little and the bullet hit her shoulder.


    The severe pain only made her pause slightly and then she continued to rush toward the woman.


    They soon fought each other.

    Fiona had been bullied a little ruthlessly, and with her injuries, she had been at a disadvantage.


    However, she had a Taser in her hand. The woman threw in the towel and yed a game of cat and


    mouse.


    She knew a stalemate would result in her winning.


    Fiona knew the woman’s intention, but she couldn’t change her situation.


    At this moment, she felt dizzy due to excessive blood loss. Perhaps she would faint in less than five


    minutes.


    She didn’t want to die, so with a desperate determination, she nned to confront women.


    At this time, Yvette was stopped by Anthony in the underground passage of Ackleton Road.


    She had been to Skyhaven Club several times and had met Anthony once. She knew he was


    Christopher’s man.


    Therefore, she didn’t drive straight into him.


    She lowered the window and said anxiously, “Mr. Xanders, get out of my way. I have something urgent


    to deal with.”


    If she continued to waste time, she would not be able to reach Lommore Bridge in half an hour.


    “Ms. Yates, Mr. Christopher Forte asked me toe here. Get out of the car.”


    Yvette thought Christopher was trying to stop her from saving Fiona. She stepped on the elerator


    and brake at the same time, causing the sports car to emit a menacing roar.


    It was as if the next moment the car would start and knock Anthony away.


    “I’ll say it for thest time. Get out of my way! Otherwise, I…” She was abruptly cut off when she saw


    another person.

    That individual bore an uncanny resemnce to her. She was

    dressed in identical clothes and had simr bloodstains on her chiffon shirt. Even her manner of


    walking mirrored hers.


    If Yvette hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn’t have believed that someone could look just like


    her.


    It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that she was her spitting image.


    While she was so shocked that she lost her focus, Anthony came to the sports car and opened the


    door.


    “Ms. Yates, get out of the car. She’ll go to Lommore Bridge instead.”


    Yvette came back to her senses and looked at the girl who looked exactly like her with shock in her


    eyes.


    “Who is she? Why does she look so much like me?”


    “Mr. Christopher Forte’s subordinate made up to look like you. Get out of the car. We’re running out of


    time.”


    Yvette didn’t want to implicate others because she was afraid that there would be no return from this


    trip.


    She shook her head and refused, “I’ll go myself.”


    As soon as she finished speaking, Anthony got into the car, unfastened Yvette’s seat belt, and pulled


    her out.


    The woman pretending to be her took out her phone from her pocket, got in the car, and left.


    Things happened so fast that when Yvette came back to her senses, she only saw the car speeding


    away.


    She looked at Anthony angrily and asked, “What are you doing?”


    “Ms. Yates, Mr. Christopher Forte ordered us to execute the swap. You’re going into a tiger’s den. Only


    Mr. Christopher Forte’s people will have a chance of winning.”


    Anthony’s words were true, and she could not refute them. She got into Anthony’s car and went back to


    the city.

    Sitting in the back seat, she asked worriedly, “Mr. Xanders, can Mr. Forte save my sister?”


    “I can only say that it’s more probable than the likelihood of you saving your sister.”


    Knowing that it was not easy to save Fiona, Yvette stopped asking nonsense.


    She stared anxiously at the time on the dashboard.


    After a long time, she said, “The half hour is up.”


    As she said this, the fake Yvette had arrived at Lommore Bridge.


    Once the sports car reached the bridge, it abruptly came to a halt, its tires screeching and leaving long


    ck streaks on the pavement.


    At the same time, the phone in the glove box rang.


    The fake Yvette answered the phone and said anxiously, “I’ming. Let my sister go.”


    Her voice was not like Yvette’s. If it was face–to–face

    phone.


    A male robotic voice came from the other end of the phone, the malice in his tone evident.


    “I only said that if you don’t want anything to happen to your sister,e to Lommore Bridge. I didn’t


    say I would let her go.”


    “What do I have to do for you to let my sister go?”


    “You are not qualified to negotiate with me. Come to the chemical nt across the bridge.”


    The fake Yvette looked at the chemical nt not far away and said, “If you don’t release my sister, I’ll


    go back the way I came”

    The male robotic voice continued, “Come to the chemical nt and I will let her go.”


    “You’ve set me up. Do you think I’ll believe in your nonsense? If you don’t let go of her, I’ll leave now.”


    After saying that, the fake Yvette got in the sports car and turned it around, looking as if she was about


    to leave.


    It was then she saw two men standing at each end of the bridge with chains in their hands.


    A lengthy strip of car stoppers, embedded with nails, wasid out on the road.


    The male robotic voice said, “You can’t leave now. Come to the chemical nt.”


    The fake Yvette did not agree or refuse.


    She set a condition. “Let me see my sister first.”


    The man didn’t answer her. “I’ll give you five minutes. If you don’te, I’ll show you your sister’s


    body.”


    After saying that, he hung up.


    Right then, Christopher sent a message to the fake Yvette. “Don’t go. Just catch the two people in front


    of you.”


    He had been eavesdropping on the fake Yvette’s phone conversations and keeping tabs on the car


    recorder to stay informed about the situation.


    It was clear that Fiona would not be spared. If the fake Yvette went to the chemical nt, she would not


    be able to return. At Christopher’s order, the fake Yvette opened the door and got out.


    The two men at the end of the bridge thought she would go to the chemical nt, only to see her


    walking toward them.


    They threw away the chains in their hands and watched as she approached them calmly.

    Three minutester, two men were knocked unconscious. The fake Yvette swiftly removed the


    roadblock, londed the unconscious men into the car, and sped away,


    The man who had been watching her at the chemical nt cursed when he realized something was


    wrong and quickly took his men to Lommore Bridge,


    However, they were more than a mile away. When they arrived, it was already toote,


    The leader called Jason and told him the whole story,


    Jason had looked into Yvette and knew her fighting skills were far from impressive.


    He knew the Yvette who went to Lommore Bridge was fake.


    He called the woman in the shipping container and wanted her to kill Fiona,


    However, the phone went unanswered,
