Chapter 722
After Noah got into the car, he looked out of the window. The car Rachel drove further and further away, and his eyes flickered with a dark and complicated light.
At this moment, his trusted subordinate could not help but
chuckle. There was unconcealable mockery in his eyes. “Miss Grey really doesn’t know what’s good for her.”
“What do you mean?” Noah’s eyes were lowered, and no one could see the look in his eyes.
His trusted subordinate glanced at Noah through the rearview mirror and said unhurriedly, “Now, so many people are staring at her openly and covertly. The reason why they didn’t take action. was only that they were afraid of David. But she actually went out alone at this time and wasn’t afraid that others took the chance to attack her. Isn’t she courting death?”
It could only be said that Rachel was young and rash. She was short-sighted and thought that she would win every time because she was in the ascendant once.
When Noah heard this, the corners of his mouth curled into an intriguing smile. “You underestimated her too much.”
The trusted subordinate looked at Noah in confusion.
Noah said, “David has just brought her here for a few days, and she took down the eight branches of the collateral family and Marina. Naturally, she is great.”
After all, Marina was the daughter of the Jones family. Even if she was unruly and arrogant, she was definitely not a useless piece of trash. All these years, Marina had been ostracized by the Jones family,
but she could still occupy a place in the market in Aureliana, which meant that she was capable.
However, this time, Marina was defeated by Rachel.
It could be said that Marina was careless for a moment, but Noah
had to admit that Rachel’s methods were impressive.
When Noah thought of this, the smile on his lips became more and more obvious, but the smile did not reach his eyes. “How do you know that this is not a trap set by her?”
Hearing this, the trusted subordinate was stunned. “You mean…”
Was Rachel risking her life to lure the enemy to take action?
The words that were about to come out of his mouth were swallowed back under Noah’s warning gaze.
“The current situation is like a pool of muddy water. It’s inevitable that someone won’t take the opportunity to cause trouble. We just need to wait and see,” Noah said calmly. “Let’s go and come back quickly so as not to delay the family banquet later.”
“Yes, sir.”
On the other side, Rachel was sitting in the car, playing with the diamond that Mr. Davies had given her.
Its texture was warm, and its color was transparent. It was obvious that it was expensive.
However, in Mr. Davies’s eyes, such an expensive piece of diamond could only be used as something for a recommendation. One could imagine how rich the Davies family was.
“Miss Grey, there’s someone behind us.” Chris’s voice was a little tense because of her vigilance.
Rachel took a look through the rearview mirror and narrowed her eyes slightly. A cold glint flashed in her eyes.
Rachel didn’t expect to be targeted so quickly on her first solo trip.
Were they Marina’s trusted subordinates? Or were they someone from the Jones family?
Rachel put the diamond in her pocket and said coldly, “Go around the city and see if we can shake them off.”
Chris nodded. As she gripped the steering wheel tightly, she suddenly stepped on the accelerator.
The modified black Rolls-Royce shot out like an arrow.
The car behind them suddenly sped up and followed closely behind them. No matter how hard they tried, they could not shake it off.
“Miss Grey, sit…”
Before Chris could finish her sentence, Rachel suddenly grabbed the steering wheel and said, “Let’s change positions.”
Although Chris was a little surprised, her body had already moved first.
After the two of them switched positions, Rachel pouted at Chris. “Place the safety belt.”
Chris pursed her lips and was about to say no need when the car suddenly suffered a violent collision.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Her expression turned serious as Chris quickly fastened her seatbelt.
Half an hour later, their car stopped in front of the coastal road.
At this moment, the night was gradually falling. Rachel sat in front of the roof of the car, placed her hands on her sides, and closed her eyes. She raised her head slightly and felt the gentle sea breeze caressing her face.
Meanwhile, Chris held onto the rock behind her and vomited non-stop.
As one of David’s five assistants, Chris actually had motion sickness.
How embarrassing.
After some time, Chris took out a bottle of mineral water from the trunk. After rinsing her mouth, she walked toward Rachel.
However, because Chris had vomited too much, her legs were a
little weak now. It was as if she was stepping on cotton.
“Miss Grey, it’s getting late. We should head back,” said Chris.
Rachel raised her eyes lazily and looked at Chris casually. Noticing Chris’s pale face, Rachel frowned slightly. “Feeling better?”
Chris looked uncomfortable for a moment. “Much better.”
Rachel nodded and jumped out of the car. “Let’s go.”
On the way back, their car drove straight through the mountain-piercing tunnel on the cliff. However, just as they were about to drive out of the tunnel, they encountered a truck.
The car’s lights were as bright as day, blinding Rachel and Chris.
Rachel narrowed her eyes slightly, trying to see the tunnel.
However, the dazzling lights made Rachel dizzy. She could only vaguely see the truck speeding toward them.
-Relying on her sharp instincts, Rachel turned the steering wheel fiercely and barely dodged the oncoming collision of the truck.
However, the back of the car was still hit.
Under the violent impact, the car spun 360 degrees and crashed into the stone wall of the tunnel.
The airbag opened instantly and wrapped Rachel tightly.
“Miss Grey, are you okay?” Chris’s voice was filled with
nervousness.
Rachel frowned slightly and shook her dizzy head. “I’m fine. Are you alright?”
“I’m fine too,” said Chris.
As the two of them spoke, the large truck actually retreated and attacked them again.
Chris’s pupils constricted, and her eyes were filled with panic.
Chris did not have time to think too much and quickly unbuckled Rachel’s seatbelt. “Quick! Get out of the car!”
However, the door on Rachel’s side was blocked and could not be opened.
Helpless, Rachel could only jump out of the front passenger seat.
Just as Rachel was about to jump out, the truck was already rushing toward Rachel.
At this critical moment, a black Rolls-Royce suddenly appeared and sped past like black lightning.
Just as the truck was about to hit Rachel, the black Rolls-Royce blocked in front of Rachel and protected her.
The moment the car rushed over, she seemed to see David’s handsome face through the dazzling light.
Rachel’s pupils dilated. Her face became paler and paler. Her heart felt like it was being held tightly by a pair of hands, and her
breathing stopped at this moment.
Although the speed of the Rolls-Royce was shocking, it was nothing in front of the huge truck.
The violent impact knocked Rachel to the ground, causing the light bulbs in the entire tunnel to explode. In an instant, the entire tunnel fell into endless darkness.
The smell of gasoline mixed with the faint smell of blood in the
air.
Rachel got up from the ground and stared at the other end of the darkness. “David…”
