Hathaway’s heart had been pounding like a drum, but at that moment, the suddenly fel calm

She had to make it back alive. Preston had already taken the bait, using Whitmore Group’s discarded mu products. Hathaway needed to return and unmask Preston’s ruthless pursuit of profit.

She also had to make sure the Kingsley family was banished from Bayridge forever

Her mother was still waiting for her to come home

She couldn’t die now.

Without a second’s hesitation, Hathaway slammed her foot on the gas.

She shot forward, overtook the other car, and with a sharp swerve, lined up her rear bumper perfectly with the novel

car

A deafening crash erupted, shaking the world around them.

During the first hit, Hathaway didn’t dare slam on the brakes, afraid the car would go flying over hers and straight into the

river.

After the impact, she immediately eased off the brakes, leuing her car glide forward for a few yards. The second time she got rear-ended, her car absorbed the full force of the car’s wild, out-of-control crash.

The bumper exploded, the trunk crumpled, and the whole car rattled like crazy.

Hathaway’s hands went numb from the steering wheel shaking so hard. Her head slammed into the windshield, and her neck felt like it was about to break.

It wasn’t until the third rear-end collision that the car finally came to a stop.

Using her own car’s rear as a buffer and braking hard again and again. Hathaway managed to bring the car to a screeching halt right before it could tumble off the overpass, trapping it between the guardrail and her own car.

When the car finally stopped, Hathaway let go of the steering wheel, killed the engine, and unbuckled her seatbelt

She saw the person getting out of the car in her rearview mirror.

It was the Defense Minister, a top general with the country’s most powerful resources at his fingertips. Every move he made mattered

At that moment. Hathaway knew she’d won her gamble.

She had saved this man.

The Whitmore family would finally be safe.

Hathaway took off her sunglasses, opened the car door, and stepped out calmly, though smoke was already curing form the engine.

Griffin Donovan stood tall and straight. Even after that dangerous crash, he walked over with his back still ramted straight.

Be was every bit the Defense Minister, refined like a scholar, yet commanding like a general. As he strode toward he and reached out his hand. Hathaway’s smile was sincere. She walked over and shook his hand.

“Thank you for saving us. Griffin said.

His presence was as heavy as a mountain, exuding authority effortlessly. The air amound them to free apert commanding aura.

Hathaway remained composed, shaking his hand with a calm smile. “You’re welcome!

Then she shook hands with the scientist, Dorian Brennan. Behind them, black smoke billowed from the wind started to spark, and sirens wailed in the distance, getting closer every second

The driver was already spraying the fire with a fire extinguisher, and a passing car stopped to help, its driver so carry a fire extinguisher.

Even though the fire was out, everyone could see that both cars were totaled.

“This car costs a lot. Don’t you feel bad seeing it wrecked like that?” Griffin said, glancing at Hathaway’s pide. He ros was a luxury car.

Hathaway shook her head, staying calm. “People matter more than cars. As long as everyone’s safe, that’s what cou

Griffin’s eyes flashed with approval at her words.

His gaze shifted, settling on her with a hidden sharpness, full of curiosity and scrutiny.

Hathaway could feel Griffin’s gaze on her, sharp, inquisitive, almost dissecting

She kept her eyes on the smoking wreckage, with no intention of volunteering her name.

The plates told them everything they needed to know about her. Anything else would be pointless, and she wasn’t about to complicate things.

It wasn’t long before the traffic cops showed up.

They saluted Griffin, who told one of the female officers to take Hathaway to the hospital. Then he and Dorian got into another car driven by one of his men and left.

Hathaway got her wound treated at the hospital, then politely turned down the officer’s offer to escort her home and grabbed a cab by herself.

When she walked in her family looked shocked to see her home during work hours. Celeste’s eyes widened as she spotted some blood in Hathaway’s hair, her voice trembling with worry, “Hathaway, what happened? Did you get hurt? Are you alright?”

“It was a little car accident, nothing serious,” Hathaway said, flashing a reassuring smile.

Mary hurried over to steady her, checking her over with concern.

Luckily, the window hadn’t shattered, so no glass ended up cutting her head

Sylvia had set up a small shrine at home and spent most of her time praying, so she was oblivious to the whole situation Hathaway brushed off their questions with a few vague answers and tried to slip away

Celeste couldn’t shake her unease. After a moment’s hesitation, she followed Hathaway into iter room and finally hoved out. That call you got earlier? Who was it? Was it connected to what happened?”

“Celeste, listen carefully. Hathaway’s voice carried a seriousness Celeste had never heard before. “No matter when ask about that call, act like you know nothing. Not a word, okay? It was a normal call, nothing special

Everything I’m doing is for the Whitmore family”
