In a state of confusion, Jim, upon hearing Isabelle’s nonchalant comment, found himself unable to suppress a bitter smile as he strained to express, “I reckon this is quite serious.”
Maria, having been tossed into the car, fought to rise to her feet.
The gun slipped from her grasp as Jim intervened, shoving her aside to safety. Retrieving the whip from her waist, she brandished it, demanding. “Who are you? Let me off this carl
A frosty barrel pressed against her temple.
Maria met the icy stare of Isabelle head–on.
The click of a bullet being chambered echoed, joined by her ominous caution, “If you value your life, keep
silent.”
Maria clenched her jaw shut, shooting a furious glare.
The Warners wielded considerable sway in Everthorn, and Grady possessed intimate knowledge of the region. Conversely, Melissa was entirely disoriented, navigating frantically, steering towards any open
road.
Therefore, Grady’s men swiftly caught up.
Observing the five or six cars looming in the rearview mirror, Melissa grew increasingly apprehensive. They’re gaining on us.”
“With no hiding spots nearby, what’s our next move?” she queried Isabelle for advice.
Subsequently, she asked again. “Isabelle, do you happen to have any explosives left?”
She was clueless about how Isabelle came by those belongings, but what astonished her more than their possession was Isabelle’s audacity in deploying them.
The blast nearly petrified her.
Not even a hint of caution was offered beforehand.
Isabelle certainly possessed a concealed skill. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have befriended Mr. Carter, nor would Danny still heed her commands.
Isabelle cast a brief glance at the car tailing closely behind, then scanned the surroundings. The car had already departed from the city.
They found themselves amidst the wilderness.
Melissa was not a skilled driver, so being overtaken was simply inevitable.
Isabelle rose to her feet, grasped the steering wheel, and had Melissa relocate to the passenger seat as she assumed control of the driver’s seat.
“Hold on tight.”

U–turn, colliding head–on with the pursuing car.
A deafening crash echoed.
Finished
Caught off guard by the abrupt manoeuvre, the trailing car attempted to swerve, but in vain, as it was overturned by the off–road vehicle.
Multiple occupants in the car sustained injuries.
“Keep driving forward and wait for me ahead, Isabelle instructed.
She seized the gun, opened the door, and exited the car.
Melissa regained her composure and anxiously called out, “Isabelle?”
Returning to the driver’s seat, she clutched the steering wheel, uncertain of her next move, when she caught Jim’s feeble voice.
Just keep going we’ll wait for her further ahead.”
Remaining there would only impede her progress.
Melissa hesitated, clenched her teeth, and pressed down on the accelerator.
After covering a hundred meters, she brought the car to a halt.
Seizing the chance, Maria bolted from the car and fled.
Melissa couldn’t afford to focus on her, occupied by her vigilance from the driver’s seat, repeatedly glancing rearward. After several minutes, anxiety crept over her.
She was torn between wanting to return to search for Isabelle and her reluctance to abandon the injured Jim behind.
“She’s too dangerous on her own. I must return and find her,” Melissa resolved after a tumultuous battle
within.
Despite the inner turmoil, guided by her role as a teacher, she made the decision to backtrack and locate Isabelle. It was a necessity.
“Mr. Carter, your associates should have also reached Everthorn by now. If there’s any threat, you should swiftly drive away and then notify them, Melissa advised before Jim could interject.
Without further delay, she exited the car and ran back.
She hadn’t ventured far when Isabelle approached them.
“Ah!!
A shrill scream pierced the air.)
Jim fought his way out of the car, trudging toward the source of the sound with heavy steps.
Isabelle and Melissa hastened to join him.
