The Substitute Bride: Idiot Or Not? novel Chapter 40

The location of the bar was a bit out of the way, and there was a deserted construction site nearby.

After driving for less than fifty meters, Winnie suddenly heard a loud bang coming from the back of her car because someone had knocked her from behind.

Then, a car appeared right in front of her, and it was coming toward her at a high speed.

Those cars were going to trap her in between. Winnie quickly realized that she had been targeted because of that badge.

However, they would not get her just that easily. Since she had dared to go there alone, she was definitely prepared to put up a fight.

She floored the accelerator and turned her steering wheel. With her incredible driving skill, she managed to avoid the car coming from the front.

However, she was still getting chased after by the car behind.

These people only dared to come after me because this is a rural area. Once I get on the highway, they'll surely back down.

At that moment, something unexpected happened. Right before she could shake them off, her counterparts shot at her car.

One of the bullets punctured her tire, and the car flipped.

Knowing that the car was no longer drivable, she immediately crawled out of it through the window.

Luckily for her, she had the habit of preparing for the worst. Although she could no longer drive the car, she had a foldable scooter in the trunk of the car.

She rode the scooter as fast as possible. Even though she couldn't ride faster than the car behind her, it gave her the opportunity to find other ways of escaping.

Coincidentally, there was a car parked by the road up ahead.

It seemed that the passenger had a glass too many, and the person was puking by the side of the road. This is my chance!

She quickly got off the scooter and got inside the back of the car.

Before the driver could react, she pulled out a knife and placed it on his neck.

With her face mask on, Winnie purposely uttered in a gruff voice, “Drive if you want to live!”

The driver panicked and looked at her through the rearview mirror. “W-What are you—”

“Drive!” Winnie roared. “Otherwise, we're both going to die. I'm not joking!”

As soon as Winnie finished her sentence, a man was heard ordering the driver, “Drive.”

Upon hearing that, the driver started the car.

Only then did Winnie realize that there was another man seated in the backseat of the car.

Wait... That voice is so familiar! It's Xavier! What kind of sh*tty luck is this? How did I end up in his car when I'm making an escape? No wonder I found that man puking by the side of the road rather familiar! It was Josiah!

At that moment, she could feel the murderous intent Xavier was exuding.

I don't think I'll be able to fight against this tall man.

With that in mind, she knew she had to use an unorthodox method to strike first.

Therefore, when Xavier was defenseless, she covered his nose and his mouth with a piece of wet cloth that was doused in diethyl ether. It was a chemical that could make someone pass out on the spot.
