“Oh, last night before I slept, I turned my phone on silent mode so it didn’t ring.” Ava’s voice was calm.
Stella gritted her teeth. “You’re trying to get rid of me, aren’t you?!”
Instantly, Ava glanced at her in amusement. “Why would I want to get rid of you? All these years, haven’t I always placed you, my sister, as a priority in my life? Dad wanted us to come out to shop, and I didn’t even reject letting you follow us.”
“Big Sister, you’re clearly trying to avoid me! If you find me annoying when I follow you around, you should have directly said so at home! What are you trying to do now?!”
After waiting for half a day, Stella was really enraged.
“Stella, your words have gone overboard. In the past, whenever I invited you out, when were you never late? The longest I’ve had to wait for you was two hours! Why is it you’re so mad when you could not find us only for a couple of hours?”
“I was just anxious! I was worried that you and Brother Antonio met some trouble!” Stella did not intend on making too big of a fuss. She immediately changed her words.
“What trouble can we meet? Stella, don’t blame me for saying this, but you’ve become more and more strange recently.”
Stella was mad to the extent of having an internal injury. After Ava’s words, she almost spat blood. She gritted her teeth and put on a rather stiff expression on her face. “I just became too anxious after waiting. That’s why I said those words…”
Ava calmly curved her lips and no longer looked at her. She held Antonio’s hand and entered the department store.
In the end, Ava only bought a few simple things. Stella followed them around the whole way and fell in love with a little dress that was worth a hundred thousand. She wanted Ava to use Antonio’s card to buy it for her, but Ava pretended not to understand her words. In the end, Stella unhappily used her own card.
In the past, regardless of what Stella liked, Ava would buy it for her. She never thought that the Ava who used to spoil her sister—causing everyone to be green with envy—would become so cold-blooded!
She would not even buy her a skirt worth a hundred thousand yuan!
All day until they sat on the cab taking them home, Stella still had not found an opportunity to speak alone with Antonio.
It was as though Ava was glued to Antonio’s side. She would not even leave for a moment! It was frustrating to death!
On the way back, they did not take the public bus because of Stella’s vehement insistence they take a cab.
Ava did not plan to give in to Stella’s wishes. However, it was already past six in the evening. In the autumn, the sky turned dark earlier. She did not wish to waste time on the road back, and since Stella had already gone to call a car to pick them up, she let her do as she wished.
After all, today’s torture has been hard enough on Stella’s heart.
Ava’s thoughts were currently on the chess record in her hands. She carefully placed it in a small compartment in her bag, in case it got slightly wet or touched something dirty.
“Hm? Sir, why are you turning here?” When Ava raised her head, she suddenly noticed that the path was not right.
“Right now, there is heavy traffic. Several roads are jammed, so we can only drive around the ocean,” the driver did not hesitate as he answered seriously.
Ava felt that his tone was slightly strange and turned to look at Antonio who sat in the front seat.
Indeed, Antonio had noticed a problem with the driver before her. He had already checked the locks on the car.
Their eyes met through the car mirror. From his gaze, she could see the answer: the car doors were locked.
Only then did Ava notice. The driver’s hair was slightly long, barely covering his ears. After looking carefully, she noticed a black earphone in his ears. It appeared to be the type used for surveillance. Also, the driver was sweating a lot. Even if they had entered autumn, this car was not warm to the point where he would sweat so much. While driving, his gaze hid some fear and… desperation.
Ava silently brought her hand up, attempting to open the car door by her side. She could not open it. Indeed, it was locked.
She raised her head, meeting Antonio’s gaze who appeared unruffled.
The moment their eyes met, Antonio reached out his hand. He pressed down on the driver’s shoulder as though to control him. His voice was low and deep, yet it gave an intense pressure and a feeling of urgency. “Stop the car.”
The driver instantly trembled from head to toe. His head began to sweat even more. He closed his eyes in dejection, his voice weakening. “It-it’s too late.”
After his words ended, the driver’s head suddenly dropped. It was as though he had been given some special medicine and could no longer hold on to his consciousness.
The car was about to hit a heavy truck, yet it continued speeding forward. It was only then that Stella who sat by Ava’s side noticed something wrong. Seeing the driver’s state, she shrieked in fear, “Ah… What happened to the driver? What happened?!”
Ava forcefully tried to open the car door. In front, Antonio had already shoved the unconscious driver aside as he sat on the driver’s seat. He grabbed onto the steering wheel, preventing the car from losing control.
Three seconds later, he suddenly spoke up. His tone carried a coldness that made one feel as though they were plunged into an ice-cold pool. “This car has been tampered with. The speed is fixed at 150 mph, and the brake doesn’t work. With this speed, I can’t stop it with the usual methods.”
“Then, what do we do?!” Stella shrieked piercingly. “Why would the driver suddenly faint?! Does someone want to kill us?!”
Hearing Stella’s piercing scream, Ava could confirm that this attempted murder had nothing to do with her.
Besides, Stella sat on the car. There was no way she would risk her own safety.
Furthermore, Antonio was also in the car. Based on her obsession with Antonio… Stella, this suspect, could immediately be eliminated.
“Is the fuel tank full?” Ava asked, poking her head forward. She looked at the fuel meter in front of Antonio.
The moment she looked, Ava’s heart sank.
It was actually full!
There was no way they could wait for the gas to be used up. This would at least take five to six hours!
The car speed remained at 150 mph. In such a populated area in the city, the road was against a large portion of the ocean and the open beach. That the road went along the sea meant that it was full of twist and turns. Using such a speed at six in the evening, when the road was so crowded, would undoubtedly lead to their deaths!
In addition, there were no roads ahead that they could take to go somewhere isolated or safer. The road ahead was heading straight to the city center!
Antonio suddenly coldly commanded. “Sit tight!”
Stella was already grabbing hold of her seatbelt with fear. Her face was pale.
Ava silently glanced an eye at the unconscious driver who had been shoved onto the passenger’s seat.
The driver clearly knew that this was a trap. Based on his earphones and the fact that someone had drugged him, he was most likely forced and threatened. Or else, he would not have risked death to commit such an act.
Who was it? Their tactics were so harsh yet clean? They wanted them all dead!
Were they targeting her? Or, were they targeting Antonio?!
