Chapter 87
Justin could tell what was going on in Stella’s mind and his face turned solemn, “Dispel that thought in your mind. I cannot possibly bring myself to hand you over to him. What kind of a man do you take me for? One who would simply hand you over to a man like a plaything?” Perhaps because of how nasty the term “plaything” sounded, Stella remained silent for a long while.
Justin did not say anything further. He simply maneuvered the steering wheel and drove the car forward.
He didn’t believe Weston would be bold enough to crash his car until it was unable to move.
No matter how powerful and daring he was, he had to care about societal opinion and his public reputation!
Although Justin’s status in the industry could not be compared to that of Weston’s, he did have his own network. He didn’t believe that Weston was capable of squashing him to death!
Justin looked at the Cullinan on his tail from his rearview mirror. He knew that it would be difficult to shake him off and could only step on the accelerator.
Weston followed suit. This time round, he wasn’t in a hurry to stop Justin’s car, and drove at a leisurely pace as if he were playing a game of cat and mouse.
Justin gritted his teeth, feeling for the first time like he was being played for a fool by another man. His eyes darkened as he swerved into a narrow, deserted road. He drove at a very high speed, almost like he was in a car race. Stella’s face paled and she could not help but exclaim, “Mr. Hall…” When a man’s competitive streak was triggered, it would usually be impossible to stop him. Justin glanced at her and quickly retracted his gaze. He said firmly, “He won’t give up so easily. The only way to make him stop pestering you is to shake him off!”
With that, he stepped down hard on the accelerator and continued, “Don’t worry. I used to be in car races when I was younger. I’ll help you get rid of him.” It had been a while since he did something so wild. He was already slightly past forty, certainly way past the age of his wild youth. To think that he would still be doing things that only a hot-headed, reckless youth would do, like car racing, just for the sake of a woman.
