She Was the Treasure All Along novel Chapter 675

The colossal steel grill of the truck loomed over them like a falling skyscraper, carrying enough momentum to crush the Ferrari into scrap metal. It was a perfect ambush, blocking off their only exit in a fraction of a second.

*"Look out!"*

Lucian's pupils contracted to pinpricks. Pure adrenaline took over. He unbuckled, lunged across the console, grabbed the steering wheel, and yanked it brutally to the right with all his strength.

Loyce's instincts synced perfectly with his. In that exact microsecond, instead of slamming the brakes, she floored the gas pedal.

The combination of max acceleration and a violently cranked wheel sent the Ferrari's rear end swinging out in an impossible arc.

*SCREEECH!*

The deafening shriek of burning rubber echoed off the concrete pillars as thick white smoke plumed from the tires.

By some absolute miracle of physics, the Ferrari drifted past the truck's grill with mere millimeters to spare, slipping out of the kill zone just as the jaws snapped shut.

The semi-truck, unable to stop its massive momentum, plowed straight into the lead SUV pursuing them.

The impact was catastrophic. A deafening explosion ripped through the garage as metal crumpled and flames erupted.

The force of the shockwave sent the Ferrari spinning wildly out of control until the rear bumper slammed violently into a concrete barrier.

The airbags deployed with a concussive pop, instantly deflating a second later.

The car fell into a ringing silence, broken only by the hiss of the damaged engine and the roaring flames from the burning wreckage across the lot.

Lucian shoved the deflated airbag aside and immediately grabbed Loyce's face, his eyes frantic as he checked her for injuries. "Are you hurt?"

Loyce swatted his hands away, shaking her head to clear the dizziness. She was breathing hard. "I'm fine."

They both whipped around to look at the back seat.

Zelie was collapsed against the door, her face ashen. Her hands were clamped onto her chest in a white-knuckle grip. Her eyes were blown wide with an animalistic terror, and her entire body was convulsing.
