Chapter 539
Richard frowned even deeper. His gaze swept past Maia's belly and said, "What do you want me to do?"
Maia’s lips curved upward, and her smile looked more sinister than ever.
The next day, Catelyn had not hesitated and went straight to the airport as promised.
After all, nothing could be worse.
So what if she became Missus Mason? She would only return to the social hierarchy from her 'bankrupt socialite1 status. She should just see it as an act that she needed to put together with Cedrick.
Catelyn leaned against the window and zoned out in the cab. She was too focused on her thoughts and did not notice that sinister flashed on the driver's face.
When Catelyn realized the driver had gone the wrong way, the car was already in a quiet alley.
There were only a few cars scattered in the alley.
Catelyn was a little scared. The economy and social situation were not optimistic recently. She heard stories of cab drivers deliberately bringing their passengers to secluded areas and robbing them.
"Sir, this seems to be the wrong way," she said tentatively, trying to reach for her phone in secret.
The driver was watching her closely from the rearview mirror. " Aren't you going to the airport? Trust me. I am taking a shortcut, and it is nearer to going through this alley. We will soon be there!"
Somehow, through the mirror in the car, Catelyn could see the facial muscles on the driver's face were all shaking.
As though he got the fattest fish hooked and was in indescribable thrill!
Catelyn cussed in her heart, darn it.
Cedrick was still waiting for her at the airport. If she did not make it there, would he think that she was rejecting him? Catelyn could feel the cold on her back, and she tried to tell herself to calm down.
She tried to hint to the driver that she was poor, had been sacked by her employer, had no money, and had to keep her family alive, countless misfortunes...
Finally, she grabbed her phone.
She did not even dare to take the whole thing out to look at the screen but blindly hit the redial button.
Unfortunately, as soon as the call was dialed, before she was even certain that the call was answered, the driver suddenly turned his steering wheel and drove to an even more secluded hill area!
He took an acute turn. Catelyn had not fastened her seatbelt, plus she was a little absent-minded. She was flung away!
Smack!
Her bag fell onto the ground, her phone too landed on a thud, and the battery fell from the body of the phone.
The driver heard the noise and turned to take a look. She was trying to make a call! Realizing he had been exposed, the driver slammed the accelerator pedal, and the car zoomed around left and right. Catelyn was made dizzy.
She could feel liquid in her stomach swelling up her throat, and she tried to climb up from the back seat to the front and attempted to grab the steering wheel...
Screech.
The driver slammed the brakes. They had arrived at their destination.
