"Miss, do you really want to do this? Someone's going to die because of it!" A distance away, a man was on a call in his car and his voice trembled as he spoke.
"I'll add another million!" The woman's voice over the phone was especially cold.
In an instant, the man straightened his back and his eyes lit up.
"Alright, alright. Rest assured, I'll definitely take care of everything," he answered while smiling before finally hanging up.
Oh, Joan Watts. Don't you blame me for this. If anything, you should blame yourself for being so outstanding and for getting her attention. With that, the man stepped on the gas pedal and sped forward.
The weather is great today.
Joan looked up at the sky and smiled, not noticing the car speeding towards her from behind.
"Joan!" a man suddenly shouted and took her in his embrace.
Joan was taken aback. What is happening?
The man in the car couldn't accept that his plan failed and he punched his steering wheel angrily before driving away.
"Are you okay?" Jake asked softly as he studied the woman.
"I'm fine," she answered and quickly pushed him away.
What was with the car earlier? Joan's heart was beating so fast as she watch as the car drove further and further away.
"It seems like someone's trying to get you killed," Jake mumbled.
It was true that someone wanted to harm her. She clenched her fist and she felt a chill down her back. It's been so long and Della has already changed for the better. Who else would it be?
For some reason, Abelyn surfaced her mind. Could it be her? But even if she hates me, she wouldn't have resorted to something like this, right?
Joan was extremely anxious and felt that she should talk to the woman in mind.
"Let's go. I'll send you home." As he spoke, Jake led her into his car.
