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?"
"Send me your location immediately and I'll be there right away!" Maxwell interrupted him.After he hung up the phone, he hurried out of the bathroom and bumped into Sophia and Lune, who were coming out of the kitchen."Aunt York, where's Wifey?" Maxwell could not afford for them to notice how nervous he was, so he forced himself to act stupid and asked."Oh, she said that she was going to bring Lindy her laptop.""Where is she?""She mentioned Film City… Hey, hey, Maxwell, where are you going?"Maxwell did not answer because when Sophia asked the question, he had already walked out the door.He made a few phone calls as he walked. He called his men and Marcus to tell them to rush over to Film City.The Brooks household only had one car because he had to pretend. As such, he had to take a taxi from the entrance, but there was no car passing by around this time as the New Year was approaching. Maxwell waited for a long time and became anxious. He was considering whether to steal
Both the burly man and the videographer were startled. They turned around and saw a woman standing at the door with disheveled hair, holding a big iron rod in her hand."You bastards!" She gritted her teeth and shouted angrily before she rushed over to them while holding the iron rod.She smashed the camera with the rod. The cameraman next to her wanted to catch her, but she turned around and kicked him far away.The burly man was shocked, and Sonnet also had a surprised expression. "Lindy, save me!""Okay!" Lindy answered loudly and rushed toward the burly man with the rod in her hand.The burly man looked strong, but he was actually a coward. When he saw how Lindy acted, he jumped out of bed and ran like a monkey in fright.Lindy did not chase him either. She threw the iron bar on the ground and went to untie the ropes that were binding Sonnet's hands and feet.The ropes were quickly untied, and Lindy helped Sonnet find her clothes from under the bed."Put them on quickly. Le
There was a distance of three or four meters from the door. There was a sudden crash, so she quickly retreated. Several wooden beams fell from above and blocked her way!The flames were raging, and the sheet she used to cover herself quickly became half-dry. The few bottles of mineral water were not enough!Sonnet had no choice but to retreat to the big bed while covering her mouth and nose with the sheet.She felt a little hopeless as she stared at the raging flames near the entrance. She wondered if she was going to be buried in a sea of flames. At that moment, a figure rushed in, lifted the inclined wooden beams, and shouted, "Wifey!"Sonnet was shocked. She looked up and saw Maxwell rushing in with a thick quilt soaked in water.He had great strength and kicked the wooden beam away with one kick while wrapped in a quilt. He then rushed in.Sonnet was shocked and rushed toward him while responding, "I'm here, I'm here!"Maxwell ran up to her in an instant and wrapped her in
