Chapter 878
Eugene slapped Catelyn so hard that her eardrums buzzed, making her feel dizzy.
The driver took the opportunity of Catelyn's daze and threw her into the rear seat. Instantly, he got back to the driver's seat, started the engine, and drove off quickly.
Edwin watched the Megotan disappear. He laughed wickedly, hummed a little tune, and walked off.
Alfred was following the black Megotan initially, but he lost it at a traffic light intersection. When he saw the Megotan and the cab part ways, he thought that perhaps he was overthinking things and everything was fine.
However, he still had an uneasy feeling about this and continued to follow the Megotan.
As Alfred witnessed Catelyn being stuffed into the car forcibly, he stepped on the gas and stopped the Megotan at a narrow intersection.
The two cars nearly collided.
The driver did not recognize Alfred. He lowered the window and yelled at him, "Are you crazy?!"
Alfred got out of the car politely and walked up to the driver. He said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I just got my driver's license not long ago, and I'm not very skilled at driving. How shall I compensate you?"
The driver's eyes lit up when he heard the word 'compensate'.
Just when he turned his neck to look at the condition of the car, Alfred grabbed his head and slammed it on the car door really hard.
Thud!
The driver fell on the ground weakly.
Without wasting any second, Alfred walked straight to the rear door.
Catelyn had a piece of cotton stuffed in her mouth, and her wrists were clipped and tied behind her back. Seeing Alfred here to save her, a look of gratitude gleamed in her eyes.
’Mmmm... Mmmm..." Catelyn struggled to speak with her cotton-stuffed mouth.
"Don't be afraid. I'm here to save you. Are you hurt?" asked Alfred as he bent over to her seat and unbound her.
Catelyn was only tied up for a short time, and she could still move them around as Alfred released her. However, her cheeks were a little numb with all the cotton in them earlier.
"I'm okay, Mister Wagner. Thank you!" exclaimed Catelyn.
"Your face..." Alfred saw a bright red palm mark on her cheek, and his face instantly became gloomy.
"Don't worry about that. It doesn't hurt if you don't touch it," said Catelyn as she quickly picked up her handbag and got out of the Megotan. Breathing in the fresh air outside, she was instantly refreshed. "Let's get out of here first."
'’Alright," replied Alfred. He helped Catelyn by supporting her as she walked weakly away from the car.
Suddenly, her cell phone rang.
Seeing that it was a call from Cedrick, she quickly answered it.
Before Catelyn could speak, Cedrick's anxious voice came. "Where are you now? Listen to me. I received news that someone was going to hurt you. You should go to a crowded place immediately. I will come and pick you up soon."
Catelyn could feel Cedrick's deep worry and panic across the receiver.
What happened earlier was indeed terrifying.
