The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 517

"Don't worry, we'll get this over with swiftly. If everything checks out, you'll be free to go," the traffic cop assured. His gaze then drifted towards the van's trunk.

It was quite spacious, with four cardboard boxes stowed inside.

"What's in those boxes?" the cop asked.

Thalassa's heart leaped into her throat at his question.

Although it was a van, it was only supposed to seat five.

Four children, two adults and the driver. They were clearly overcapacity.

If the cop found out, they could have been in serious trouble, possibly even alerting Lysander.

They would have been sitting ducks.

Evelyn's face also paled.

Just as Thalassa and Evelyn were at the peak of their anxiety, the young driver answered nonchalantly, "Oh, those are farm-fresh eggs I bought for my kids back home."

"We'll need to check that," the cop stated.

Check? What were they going to do?

Thalassa's heart pounded, and her palms broke out in a sweat.

"Sure thing." The young man remained cool-headed, exited from the vehicle, and opened the trunk and one of the boxes.

Sure enough, it was filled with eggs.

After a glance, the driver moved to open a second box.

"That's enough. We'll just run a DUI test," the cop said.

The driver's hand relaxed on the box, and he chuckled, "Alright then."

After passing the DUI test, the cop let them go.
