We Will Collide Someday by Scarlett Sanchez novel Chapter 270


Chapter 270 You Are Not Qualified to Thank Me

Alexa subconsciously shifted her gaze away without answering his question.

Just as the three of them were in a deadlock, the sound of glass shattering suddenly came from the corner not far away.

"Crap!"

As Conley's expression changed, he immediately flung Terrence away and ran over in that direction.

Soon after, chaotic footsteps began to ring out. It was obvious that the group of people was chasing something.

"Terrence, let me go!"

Alexa frowned anxiously and wanted to rush to Conley immediately.

However, Terrence tightened his grip and stopped her without any explanation.

"Terrence, what are you doing? I told you to let go!"

She didn't know how Conley was doing, but it was not a good thing since a big commotion was caused.

After a while, Terrence suddenly brought her to a dark room.

"Stay here and don't run around!"

Seeing this, Alexa finally realized something.

"Terrence, do you know something?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Anyway, I won't tell you."

"I'm going to find Conley!"

"Can you listen to me?" Terrence growled in anger. "Just protect yourself."

As soon as he finished speaking, the noise outside the door suddenly grew bigger as if more people were running over.

"Terrence, are you also looking for Derick?"

He did not respond. At that moment, the door was kicked hard.

Alexa's heart pounded fast and then she was held by Terrence in his

arms.

"Don't be afraid."

Terrence's calm voice sounded above her head. Alexa felt his

heartbeat, and the panic just now faded away.

However, the noise outside the door was getting louder and louder,

and the people outside seemed to break in very soon.

In the dark room, Terrence's eyes were so cold.

He stared at the door tightly with killing intent.

It seemed that some people were risking their necks.

After a few more minutes, the footsteps outside the door gradually subsided.

"Mr. Ramsey, it has been dealt with."

As Edwin's calm voice sounded, Alexa came back to her senses as if

he had been through a lifetime and she couldn't believe that what had just happened was real.

"How long do you want to hold me?"

Hearing Terrence's teasing voice, Alexa immediately released her hands with a red face.

Terrence casually adjusted his tie, and his deep eyes returned to usual indifference.

As the door opened, the warm lights in the corridor came in.

Edwin and a dozen well-trained bodyguards guarded the door. After seeing Terrence, they all bowed respectfully.

"Mr. Ramsey, those people just now have been identified. They were sent by Jovan."

"Sure enough, it's him."

Alexa whispered, and Terrence grabbed her hand then.

"It's okay. I'll send you back."

"I'm going to find Conley!" Alexa immediately recovered from the shock.

Terrence did not stop her and went with her.

Alexa easily found their original meeting place. In the luxurious

room, a tall figure was leaning against the window and checking

the situation.

"Conley!"

Hearing Alexa's voice, Conley immediately turned back.

"Are you okay?" Alexa asked.

"I'm fine. What about you? Are you hurt?"

"No."

But Conley was still worried. He immediately stopped his work and

held Alexa's hand to look her up and down.

"What are you looking at?"

"Traces here."

Conley narrowed his eyes and calmly analyzed.

"There is blood. Judging from it, he must have been stabbed by a

sharp object and jumped out from here."

"But this is the third floor!"

"Yes." Conley frowned slightly. "I asked someone to go downstairs

to take a look. I didn't find anyone."

"That's strange."

Alexa pondered for a moment. Terrence came over and held her,

instantly pulling her attention back.

"Mr. Ramsey, thank you for protecting Alexa for me."

"You are not qualified to thank me," Terrence replied coldly. "Protecting her is my responsibility as a husband. It has nothing to

do with you."

"The police are about to arrive here." Conley turned his gaze back

to Alexa. "Alexa, I'll stay and cooperate with them to investigate.

Let someone send you back first, okay?"

"This matter is also related to me. I'll stay with you."

Hearing this, Terrence frowned with some dissatisfaction.

"Since you want to wait, then I will wait with you."

Alexa glanced at Terrence out of the blue, and the situation became

a little awkward again.

What was more, Derick's whereabouts were currently unknown. So

Alexa couldn't feel relieved.

The police quickly arrived at the scene. After surveying the scene,

they took a statement.

After all the procedures were completed, it was already three

o'clock in the morning.

Alexa spent the whole day without sleep or rest. Now she was so

tired that she could not open her eyes.

Terrence saw her exhaustion and took her to his car without any

explanation.

Seeing this, Conley immediately followed.

Conley smiled and said, "Alexa, go to my car. If your parents call

me later, I don't know how to explain to them."

Hearing this, Alexa immediately sobered up and planned to get out

of the car. With a thud, Terrence calmly locked the car door.
