A black car speeding from the side stopped their car as soon as they arrived at the front intersection of the villa.
Only an enemy or a racketeer would block the car unscrupulously in broad daylight.
Westley instinctively slammed on the brakes. They were now a meter away from the black car.
The sudden brake propelled Gabrielle forward. Fortunately, the seatbelt prevented her from hitting the windshield.
"You okay, Gabrielle?" Westley asked concernedly.
"I'm fine. What's going on? What the hell is wrong with that car?" Gabrielle gazed at Westley in a state of shock. The sudden appearance of the car infuriated her.
"Gabrielle, calm down and sit still." Westley locked the door to prevent her from getting out and restarted the car.
It wasn't a good place to pull over for revenge or racketeering. After all, they weren't aware of the person's motive. Westley didn't want to take any risk and put Gabrielle in a dangerous situation.
"But..." Gabrielle looked at Westley uneasily.
"No! Don't move. I'm going to reverse the car," Westley ordered.
Even though Gabrielle intended to move, she fell silent and listened to him.
Just as Westley reversed the car, the door of the black car opened, and a man stepped out. It was Victor.
Gabrielle's eyes widened. After all, she had saved him. It looked like he had recovered.
She couldn't understand why he was here.
"Westley, Victor's here!" Gabrielle anxiously held Westley's hand.
Following her gaze, Westley turned around and realized that it was indeed Victor.
Anger surged in his heart. He wanted to crash the man's car.
"Hello! Don't be heartless, Mr. Morris. I just arrived, and you are leaving now." Victor walked to their car and smiled at Westley.
Westley's jaw tightened. Victor was the last person he wanted to see.
"Westley, stall the engine. I think he has something to say." Gabrielle rolled down the window.
"Hi, Gabrielle, my savior. It's good to finally see you!" Victor grinned.
His attempt to please Gabrielle infuriated Westley.
"What do you want, Victor? We can't afford to waste our time. Besides, you can't even protect yourself now. Don't involve us in your problems," Westley roared.
Victor was now the target of the entire Sanderson Family. Anyone who got close to him would be in danger.
Westley didn't want Gabrielle to become their target and get involved in the unnecessary catastrophe.
"I don't intend to drag my savior into this. Don't worry. I led the followers astray before coming here. My negligence gave them the chance to hurt me last time. But it'll never happen again," Victor assured.
He had already found the person who had injured him and was planning to return to Ensfield to deal with it.
