Chloe shook the man beside her. "It's the masked woman!"
Joseph had already opened his eyes. He said calmly, "Don't panic."
Unbeknownst to Chloe, their bodyguards were in a car right behind them. Upon realizing the dangerous situation, they immediately got out and engaged in a fierce fight with the attackers from Duskfall.
Vanya crossed her arms, a sneer forming on her face. She then signaled to another group of people, effectively tripling the size of her group. Despite the fact that Joseph's bodyguards were all highly trained elite soldiers, they found themselves overwhelmed by the sheer number of adversaries.
Joseph's eyebrows furrowed, and he decisively moved to the driver seat. "Buckle up."
"Okay."
The car sped down the road, with Vanya in relentless pursuit. Lucas, who had just come out of the cake shop, was momentarily stunned. He soon snapped back to reality and quickly contacted Vince for support.
To shake Vanya off, Joseph skillfully maneuvered onto a winding mountain road. Chloe tightened her grip on the seat belt. Her palms were sweaty, and her heart raced.
Seeing that they were about to be left behind, Vanya cursed her driver and leaned out of the van, aiming darts at Joseph's car, attempting to puncture the tires. Their target was not Joseph but Chloe. Vanya wanted to eliminate Chloe so that there would be no obstacles to Xavia becoming Joseph's wife. As for Xavia's baby... Joseph's attitude toward her had changed significantly. If necessary, they could always have another child in the future.
Previously, they had spared Choe because they wanted the baby growing in her womb. But now that the child could potentially become a game-changer, Vanya was determined to prevent its birth. She was determined to deny them the chance for an amniocentesis so that Joseph would never know that he was the father.
Fortunately, Joseph's car had been modified, and the darts could not penetrate the tires.
Chloe's heart pounded with fear as a sudden cliff ahead took her by surprise. "What do we do?!" she yelled, seeking guidance from Joseph.
