Chapter 53 I'll Take You Down With Me
"Miss Taylor, calm down." Oliver kept some distance between them. "I'm giving you a ride home."
Stella turned and looked out the window. It was not the way home.
Oliver was well aware of Benjamin and Daniel's conspiracy. But he had to pretend since the car had just left the hotel. He could not give her a ride home directly, so they took a little detour.
However, Stella had no idea of that.
She became more vigilant, and her body trembled slightly.
She had untied the strap, so she held it tightly in her hand.
At that time, all she could see in her mind was the scenes she had watched of women defending themselves. She calmed down and dwelled on it carefully. There were three people in this cramped space. The other two people were strong men.
She had no way to resist them.
But she was sitting right behind the driver.
Pursing her lips, she stared at Oliver and watched his next move with her cold, bright eyes.
...
Liam came out of the club before he turned on his phone.
Andrew whispered in Liam's ear, "I have to rush back to Emberfall tonight so Mr. Christopher Martinez won't notice it. Mr. Anderson, you..."
"Go on with your work." Liam narrowed his eyes. "Pretend that nothing happens."
Andrew nodded before he looked around vigilantly and disappeared in the dark.
Liam took out the information Andrew gave him just now and tore it swiftly before he dumped it into a dustbin nearby.
It was Christopher's problematic accounts in the Martinez Group these years.
But he had to destroy them after reading them without leaving any traces behind.
Liam took a deep breath and was about to rush home when suddenly his phone vibrated many times in his pocket. He took it out to check. It was first a strange text from a person called Annie.
It seemed to be Stella's colleague.
He kept on reading and the later texts were from Stella...
Suddenly, Liam's face fell. A cold light emerged in his eyes as he quickly turned on the GPS to find Stella's location.
...
"Miss Taylor, you don't have to be scared. I'm not a bad guy!" Oliver waved vigorously. He was so anxious that his face was flushed.
Now he finally experienced what it felt like to be a cat on hot bricks.
He just wanted to see her home safe and sound. But she regarded him as her enemy, staring at him vigilantly. Alertness and preparedness engulfed her face.
"Stay away from me!" Stella screamed.
She acted fast and fierce before she used the strap to strangle the driver instantly. The driver was shocked as he tried his best to control the steering wheel. The car swayed along the road while the tires made a sharp screeching sound.
"Stella, let go! Do you want to die?" Oliver was about to pull her away but she kicked his knee fiercely.
The driver's face turned pale from her attack, and the car swayed terribly.
Stella struggled to resist the dizziness as her hands trembled slightly. At last, she found the door handle beside the driver's seat.
"Ah!" Oliver cried out piteously before he hurriedly grabbed the steering wheel.
When the car was about to hit a large tree by the road, Stella opened the door and leaped...
Boom! The head of the car hit the tree hard.
After an unknown period, Oliver and the driver supported each other and got out of the car. They were in an extremely sorry state, but they were not seriously injured under the protection of the airbag.
But Stella was not so lucky.
Oliver felt like he had suffered a sudden heavy blow when he saw Stella lying flat by the road.
"Hurry... Hurry up and call the ambulance! Call the police!"
Oliver took his phone out. He was more than five foot nine but he was crying profusely now. He could not even speak properly.
"Hello, Caleb. I'm doomed... It's a car accident. Stella is dead. I killed Stella..."
"Noah will kill me. He'll kill me!"
