Chapter 2940
Ring! Ring! Ring!
Suddenly, the silence in the car was broken by the sound of a mobile phone ringing.
The man sitting in the front seat turned behind to look at Joan before answering the phone.
"Your license plate has been traced.You'd better change to another car quickly.One more thing, Larry managed to identify some of your men.So you'll have to come up with another plan yourself."
After saying that, the woman hung up.He's quick! The man sneered inwardly and said, "Change to another car.Some of you will have to leave the country now, and you're not allowed to return until further notice.Don't worry about the money.I'll transfer it to you once I have it in my hands"
At that moment, Joan lay in the backseat with her eyes closed.She had a pale and haggard look on her face.
Joan was awakened by the noise in the car.
She slowly opened her eyes and scanned her surroundings, only to realize that she was in the backseat of a car.
Who are they? And what do they want from me? When she tried to sit up, she realized that she barely had any strength to move at all.Not being able to hold it in, she let out an involuntary hacking cough.
Everyone else in the car turned around to look at her.
"Boss, she's awake." A young thug whispered into the ears of the thug leader.
"Alright.Let's dismiss.Call me if anything happens.And remember, don't come back."
"Ms.Watts, you're finally up," the thug leader snorted at her.
They know my name.But why can't I recognize any of them?Have I offended them before? Joan shot the man a death stare as she tried to recall ever seeing him before.
"Who are you guys?"
Joan demanded immediately.
"You don't need to know who we are.All you need to know is that you shouldn't be alive.You shouldn't be with Larry even more so," the man said.
What's that supposed to mean? Joan dipped her head and was lost in thought.
From the sound of it, it seemed that this was a plot by an admirer of Larry.She could think of none other than Della who was capable of such a vile act.
Damn you, Della! How can you be so cruel enough to harm me again? Joan trembled in fear for she knew how determined Della was.
