Suddenly, Welson felt his body give way.The car braked suddenly, and both he and the woman jerked forward.Welson immediately yelled at the driver in front. "Drive your car well. Don’t be nosy about what you shouldn't!"The distance was not too far yet it was pure torment for the driver. When he finally stopped at the apartment building, the driver immediately opened the door, got out of the car, and walked away.The car remained in place.The man and woman in the backseat were covered in sweat and sat panting.Welson let out a sigh of satisfaction. "Being with me is much better than being with that kid.""Yeah, I fell in love with you at the second master's birthday party that day. But everyone knows that I’m the third young master’s girlfriend, so I can't do anything about it. Oh, what a torment my heart was in at that time..." Jessie purred.After she was outed for academic misconduct, she was chewed out by her colleagues in the hospital. This was due to her being too arrog
Sonnet turned her head and saw that the car hit them from behind."Young Miss, hold on tight. I'm going to speed up to get rid of them!" Lewis' voice sank.Sonnet nodded and grabbed the top handle tightly.Lewis rammed the accelerator to increase the speed and slipped through the gap between two cars.He had excellent driving skills. He drove at a high speed and overtook several cars in various ways, quickly throwing the car behind him out of sight."Okay, slow down a little bit now," Sonnet told him with a sigh of relief.Lewis responded and proceeded to slow down, then he gasped. "Huh?""What's wrong?" Sonnet asked."The brakes… Why…"Before he could finish, a large truck suddenly overtook him from the side."Ah, slow down and brake!" Sonnet exclaimed.Lewis slammed on the brakes while steering the car wildly. Then, the car was in mid-air!For a while, Sonnet felt dizzy, then the airbag popped out, wedging her tightly between the seat and the airbag.In the midst of it,
"I… Something happened to me, and I won't be able to make it. How is Izzy?""Huh? What's the matter? I called to tell you that you didn’t have to come if you haven’t set out. Izzy is fine now. You go about your business first. Is everything alright?" Tami was full of concern.Sonnet shook her head feebly. "I'm fine, but my friend may be in trouble..."…After Maxwell finished his examination at Westfield Hospital, he was going to take the two children to the skating rink."Let's give Mom a call. She’ll be upset if she knows we went out on our own to have fun." Lune was uneasy.They agreed to go skating together before. Today was a great opportunity for Jaybie and Lune to take the subway with him.Maxwell smiled. Of course, he would not hide it from his wifey. He even thought about having lunch with her and the children.He called Sonnet. The phone rang several times before she answered. Sonnet's voice seemed weak. "Maxwell, have you finished your check-up?"Maxwell's heart ski
Whenever Maxwell went out alone or with her, they always sat in the back. Neither of them was used to wearing seat belts in the backseat!Today, she planned to go to the hospital with Maxwell, but she changed her plans because of Tami’s sudden phone call. Since Maxwell was not with her, she sat in the front passenger seat and put on her seat belt...If Tami had not made that call, maybe she and Maxwell would be the ones lying in the emergency room now!She remembered that right before the crash, they were followed and hit in the back by an unknown car. After getting away from that car, Lewis exclaimed that there was a problem with the brakes. Could it be that the car accident was fabricated to target Maxwell and her?She hurriedly told the traffic police about the fact that someone followed them and hit them right before the crash. She then asked, "Have you investigated that truck driver? He’s probably in cahoots with the person who hit us before the crash!”The traffic policeman
After Marcus fed Lewis water, the phone rang.He took his phone out and glanced at it, then looked at Maxwell with a slight change in his expression. "The repair shop has given me an update. The brakes were indeed tampered with, and the technique was very clever. One wouldn’t feel it when they first drive the car. Hitting the brakes after acceleration would cause the brakes to slowly fail after several repetitions.""If we hadn't been followed and rear-ended in the beginning and I hadn't accelerated to get rid of them, maybe the brakes wouldn't have failed so quickly?" Lewis asked after hearing this.Marcus nodded with a sullen face and looked at Maxwell. "Is this an elaborate plot?"Maxwell lightly tapped the table with his fingers and pondered. "If this is an elaborate plot, it would be quite unnecessary. Tracking and rear-ending the car is too obvious, and it’s easy to catch them on surveillance. Since they’ve already tampered with the brakes, why not just sever the brakes and g
In the last few days before the New Year, they were almost done with stocking up on everything except for new clothes for the children.After lunch, Sonnet took the kids to meet Lindy. They had agreed to go to the mall to shop for new clothes together.Lindy received a call out of the blue when they were heading to the shopping mall. She hung up the call and looked terribly sorry. "I don't think I can go shopping with you, babe!""What?" Sonnet asked in surprise."Crystal Wood's assistant informed me that her schedule has changed and my interview with her has been brought forward!" Lindy said excitedly."When is it happening?""Tonight! I have to head back now to prepare for it. Our previous appointment slot was after the New Year, so I’m not done with my interview script!"Sonnet knew about the interview that Lindy was about to have with Crystal Wood. Marcus Pine connected them, and it was an interview that Lindy had been looking forward to."We can send you home before we go
"Mr. Brooks, I found the driver of the car with the fake number plate and tried to question him. Based on what he said, the person behind him is probably Third Master Brooks." Carter Smith's voice was on the other end of the call."Welson Brooks?" Maxwell raised his eyebrows and nodded slowly. "It does seem on brand for him."After a pause, he asked, "What about the brakes?""The workers at the auto repair shop said that the guy who serviced the car went back to his hometown for the New Year. I’ve sent someone to go to his hometown to look for him, but he hasn’t been able to find him yet. It’ll take a few more days. However, I found out that the guy's hometown is the same as the wife of Welson Brooks' brother-in-law.""You suspect that Welson Brooks hired that guy?" Maxwell asked with a frown."We can’t be sure yet. We’ll find out more once we find the guy.""Keep looking and let me know if you have any news." Maxwell paused and then added, "Working during the New Year counts as
They arrived at the location that Lindy sent. It was at the northeast corner of Film City. There were not many people around, probably because it was the New Year soon.Sonnet looked around, pointed to a cafe not far away, and said to Alex, "The car can't get in there, so you can just stop here and wait for me. I'll go in and come out in a second."Alex quickly said, "I'd better go in with you, Young Miss Sonnet.""What do you think could happen?" Sonnet laughed."Since you and I came out at night, I must ensure your safety. That’s what Mr. Pine specifically ordered." Alex insisted.Since he drove Sonnet himself, several of the bodyguards who were hiding in the dark to secretly protect Sonnet did not follow him. As such, he had to keep his guard up.Sonnet shrugged helplessly and said, "Okay then. You can go in with me."She waited for Alex to park the car and the two walked toward the cafe together. After a few steps, Sonnet received a voice message from Lindy. "Are you here?"
