Madam Escaped Again, Sir (Lillian Hawkins and Eric Walker) novel Chapter 431

A sharp twinkle appeared in Toby’s eyes, and he abruptly turned the steering wheel in the opposite direction.

The sports car dashed out like a cheetah before turning into the ramp. Without wasting a second, the vans that were tailing him followed along.

It was after a half an hour's drive down the road when he suddenly slammed his feet on the brakes and stopped the car. Shockingly, he had reached an intersection. Utterly annoyed by the situation, he could only grip the steering wheel with so much force his knuckles turned pale from the lack of blood circulation.

Dammit! Why have I reached a fork this soon ?

He had no idea which path did Sonia’s abductors take. Even if he had the full map of the directions of each path, that would be of no help.

Once he took the wrong path and traveled away from her abductors, he would miss the critical chance to save her.

At the thought of it, he took a deep breath and suppressed the fear in him. Upon calming down, he dialed Tom’s number.

“President Fuller.” Knowing that Toby would be in touch frequently, Tom had carried his phone around so that he could take Toby’s call on time.

“Can you figure out which one of the roads at the southside fork did those men take?” Toby was under stress, with his tone sounding a bit grimmer than usual.

Tom shook his head out of regret. “I’m sorry, President Fuller. I have thought of that before, so I contacted the traffic police division and requested them to look at the surveillance footage there. But they told me that there are no surveillance cameras at the fork.”

“There are no surveillance cameras...” Toby almost crushed the phone with his

tight grip.

Without the help of surveillance cameras, they had effectively lost track of the abductors.

It would be more difficult to save Sonia now.

Tom was well-aware of the consequences. After a pause, he suggested, “How about this? You can split into three teams with the bodyguards and take a path each at the fork. Maybe you wouldn’t choose the road that Miss Reed went down, but our men could at least save her while you’re not around.”

Toby closed his eyes for a while. When he opened his eyes again, there was sheer determination in them. “That’s the only way for now.”

He ended the call, got down from the car, and headed to the first van carrying the bodyguards.

When they saw him coming over, they went down to greet him. “President

Fuller.” “Make some arrangements and split them into three teams. Two of the teams will take the two roads. The remaining pair will follow me; we’ll be taking this one.” He pointed at the leftmost path, for that path had a speed limit of 60 mph, which was higher than the other two. In a way, it was considered the fast lane.

Based on his trail of thought, if the abductors wanted to bring Sonia out of Seafield as quickly as possible, they were likely going to take the fast lane.

Of course, he could not be sure, but he was willing to take the bet.

After receiving instructions, the leader of the bodyguards nodded. “Got it. I will make the arrangements.”

“Be fast,” Toby grunted and urged him.

“Okay.” The leader started making the arrangements. Ten minutes later, the seven vans were split into three teams. Four vans went into the middle and the right-most lane. The remaining three vans would follow Toby. After all, they needed more men to protect the president.

Just when he hopped onto the sports car and was about to start his journey, he was interrupted by the sound of a car horn blaring impatiently behind him, urging him to give way.

Toby narrowed his eyes and looked at the left mirror to find a black Mercedes G-Class behind him.
