Chapter 184
It would take over three hours to drive to Bleaktown. However, Isabella was
unfamiliar with the roads, so she took a bit more time. Along the way, she
made a brief detour to buy some food for Victoria, which further delayed her
arrival.
By the time she arrived at the outskirts of Bleaktown, it was already starting to
get dark.
She parked her car by the roadside, drank some water, and closed her eyes
to rest for a moment.
Unexpectedly, she glanced at the rearview mirror and noticed several
individuals loitering around her car.
Her exhaustion faded, and it was replaced by the unsettling memory of
Jonas’ disgusting stare.
Isabella was on high alert as she abandoned the moment of rest and swiftly
started the car engine.
She remained vigilant while constantly checking the rearview mirror, feeling
relieved only when she was certain no one was following her.
The nursing home was located in an isolated area on the outskirts, making
her vulnerable if anyone had malicious intentions there.
Just as she relaxed a little, she glanced at the rearview mirror and spotted
two Hyundai cars.
reappeared at the next traffic light where their paths crossed.
Isabella, who followed the principle of caution, changed her route and drove
around randomly.
As expected, the vehicles still followed closely behind her.
She felt a sinking feeling in her heart as she was unsure of their intentions. At
the same time, she noticed the sparse traffic around her. If they managed to
corner her by force, she would be in danger.
The traffic light turned green.
She accelerated with determination and intended to shake off the two cars
behind her.
However, the pursuing cars seemed professional. Even if she managed to
distance herself momentarily, they always caught up.
Isabella realized they likely had connections within the transportation
department, as her car was consistently tracked by surveillance.
She thought that as long as she avoided the other party and didn’t give them
a chance to force her to stop, she should be safe.
However, Isabella realized she was being naive after passing two
intersections. The other party didn’t want to force her to stop. Rather, they
wanted to cause a car accident.
They accelerated abruptly several times and attempted to hit her vehicle,
but she skillfully swerved away each time.
Having repeated this several times, the two cars changed tactics noticeably.
She glanced at the rearview mirror and noticed that one of the cars had
disappeared.
Her palms grew sweaty as her vigilance heightened. She couldn’t afford to
overlook any direction while driving.
Isabella felt nervous. She wanted to drive straight through the intersection as
there were no other cars around.
suggested.
Seth pursed his lips, glanced toward the private room, and made a decision
three seconds later.
“Go and get the car. Wait for me downstairs.”
Jordan was slightly taken aback. He regretted being too talkative, but it
wasn’t the time to say more. He could only go get the car.
In the suburbs, a screeching brake echoed, accompanied by plumes of
smoke caused by the tires rubbing against the ground.
Isabella trembled all over. Just a moment ago, she narrowly avoided the
Hyundai, which had suddenly appeared, but the car behind made a sharp
turn and intended to continue ramming into her.
Damn it!
She cursed vehemently and spewed out profanities she had never uttered
before. While cursing, she managed to steady the car and continued driving
The two cars behind her were relentless and seemed ready to risk their lives.
It was clear they had been paid handsomely and were prepared to take the
ultimate risk against Isabella.
One side showed complete recklessness, while the other was gripped by an
Isabella had a bottom line. She couldn’t lead these cars into a crowded area
as it might harm the innocent.
She spotted a nearby police station after glancing at the GPS. If she could get
there, she doubted the pursuers would continue their brazenness.
It’s just a few miles away. I’ve got to push on!
