Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 248

Chapter 248

Jean walked toward the bridge hole.She studied it for a while, then compared it to Mr.Gary's tie on the tree.

"The distance is just right.If the rescue team comes, they will be able to spot it right away.If someone else other than the rescue team sees it, we will be saved too."

Mr.Gary was puzzled.

"Who else will come other than the rescue team?"

Jean lowered her head and moved the branches under her foot.

"There are still buildings and houses around this area.There are no surveillance cameras around, and there is no signal here.Anything can happen"

They were lucky that they had only ran into a group of stray dogs.

Humans were the scariest creatures on Earth.

Especially humans who are left with no other choices.

They would do anything to stay alive.

"Mr.Gary, was our route to the site predetermined?"

"Yes.We decided it during the company's meeting."

Mr.Gary stared at Jean for a few seconds before shaking his head.

"It wouldn't be planned by someone, would it?"

Jean smiled.

"We don't know for sure"

It was not a hard task to stage a car accident.

Especially for someone powerful like Andy.

Jean narrowed her eyes.

If this was a scheme plotted by someone in secret, then tonight would not be a quiet night.

They might not even be able to wait for the rescue team's arrival.

Mr.Gary was a smart person too.

After hearing Jean's words, he muttered in a low voice.

"Well, Mr.Shaw's assistant did ask.."

As soon as he finished his words, he widened his eyes in surprise.

"Ms.Eyer, do you think that we have a mole in our company? And that mole is Mr.Shaw? That's impossible."

Jean lowered her head.She wasn't sure whose side Mr.Gary was on.

"I didn't say that.I was just asking you about the company's arrangements"

This reason sounded legit.

Mr.Gary swallowed hard.He wiped off the cold sweat that broke on his forehead.

"Right.You didn't ask me anything! I didn't say anything as well!"

It was a windy night.It was not wind-proof under the bridge, but it provided them with some shelter.

Mr.Gary squatted on the floor.He was already too exhausted.

Jean tilted her head and saw someone heading toward the tree from afar.But it was only one person.

Jean narrowed her eyes.She intuitively stepped back and hid.

Unfortunately, Mr.Gary was lowering his head at that moment.He accidentally hit a branch beside him.

"Ah!"

The person noticed their presence when he heard Mr.Gary's shout.

"You can't do anything right."

Jean stretched her hand out and grabbed Mr.Gary's arm.

"Run!"

She had seen the terrain nearby.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмShe knew where to hide.

Mr.Gary broke out in cold sweat from fear.

"Ms.Eyer, who is chasing after us?"

"I don't know."

Jean didn't bother explaining.She was not sure of the person's identity.

Moreover, they had no time to waste by talking.

"Then do we still have to run? I can't run anymore" Jean replied coldly.

"Your choice"

She continued to run ahead.

Not long after, she heard Mr.Gary wailing.

Jean had no more energy left.She had no choice but to look for a place to rest.She had a vague sight of three or four men grouped together.

They had a foreign accent.

"That wrench! She can really run, and knew to use this method to call for help.Luckily, I found it"

"She cannot run any further.We should split up and chase her down!"

Jean bent down to hide in the midst of the bushes.
