She then closed the car door with a smile as Yvonne stared at her in shock.
"Drive!" Jacqueline kicked the back of the driver's seat.
The driver's forehead was sweating. "But madam..."
"She fell over herself," Jacqueline said with her lips curved.
The driver clasped on the steering wheel. "Obviously it was you..."
"Shut up. I just told you that she fell over herself. If you don't start the car now, we're going to be engulfed by the fire." Jacqueline leaned closer and whispered t o the driver's ear as she glanced at Yvonne who kept knocking on the door.
The driver shuddered but his desire for survival overpowered his conscience so he gritted his teeth and stepped on the accelerator.
The car drove away and left that hazardous place.
On the highway, Jacqueline opened the car window and turned her head to look back. When she saw the huge fire breaking out in the industrial area, she was thrilled.
"Yvonne, don’t blame me because this is what you asked for. You should've died a long time ago. You should’ve died more than 20 years ago, but you survived and took everything away from me, so I had t o send you away for good!"
The driver's face was extremely pale as he heard the malicious Jacqueline muttering behind him. He asked with a trembling voice, "You... Aren’t you afraid that M r. Lancaster will find out?"
"Henry won't know about this. Didn't I just say that she fell over by herself?" Jacqueline said lightly.
The driver gulped, "Mr. Lancaster won't believe it..."
Who would believe that a person who was in a car would fall off?
Jacqueline rolled up the car window and she still looked calm. "Then I have another reason. Isn't her brother there too? When Henry asks, I could just say that she was worried about her brother, so she got out of the car to find him. You need to say that too, understand?"
"What? If you want to survive, you have to do this and you can only stick to this reason. If you dare tell the truth, we’re all going to die. Don't you forget that you didn't stop me either, so you’re also an accomplice!" Jacqueline stared at the driver in a rage with eyes that looked like a poisonous snake’s.
The driver was terrified so he lowered his head and gave in.
Jacqueline patted him on the shoulder when she saw
that. "Don't worry, it's okay!"
The driver still did not speak.
Jacqueline didn't care as she looked at the scenery outside the window and smiled happily.
The car kept going until it arrived at a rest area.
Jacqueline saw Joe coming towards her through the car window. She rolled her eyes and she immediately put on a miserable, terrified look on her face and started sobbing quietly.
The driver saw her like this and he could vaguely tell what she was trying to do. He also pretended to be ashamed and guilty.
Woosh!
The car door opened.
Joe stood in front of the car door and said, "Madam, let's get down and rest for a while. Mr. Lancaster is looking for you."
There was no response in the car except for the sound of sobbing.
Joe couldn't help but become suspicious. He looked into the car and saw that only the driver and Jacqueline were in there. Yvonne was nowhere to be seen. His expression changed as he asked loudly," Where's madam?"
Jacqueline looked up with her red eyes. "My sister is..."
"What's wrong with her? Speak!" Joe grabbed her
collar and shouted fiercely.
'God, please don't let it be,' Joe thought to himself.
Or else, it would all be over!
Jacqueline didn't expect that Joe would treat her like that. Even though she was furious, she still managed t o put on a fearful expression on her face. "Sister said that her brother is still there and she can’t leave her brother alone, so she got out of the car..."
After saying that, she lowered her head to cover the darkness in her eyes.
Joe's pupils shrunk to the size of needles and he could feel the blood in his body freeze. All that was on his mind was: "Madam got out of the car. She got out..." 1
"Joe, are you okay?" Jacqueline looked at him timidly with concern.
Joe snapped out of his daze and released her. He then threw her against the backseat of the car and said," Guys!"
