As the car was about to flip over, it jerked back into position with a thud. The impact made my injuredfoot hit something, giving me a piercing pain. My vision darkened, and my ears rang as I hugged mylegs.
I didn’t know what would happen next. I could only think about not dying in the car. Suddenly, I heardsomeone shouting, “Chloe?! Stop it, all of you! Chlo!”
I knew it was Ryan’s voice. Despairingly, I yelled, “Leave me! Go!”
I sensed two groups fighting, constantly tugging the car but no longer causing it to tip over. I curled intoa ball to protect my legs and prayed for the disaster to end.
Heavy objects crashed into the car, causing me to tremble. A long while later, someone called myname. and knocked on the car window. “Chloe, it’s okay! Open the door!”
I recognized Ryan’s voice and nervously obeyed. He climbed into the car, and I threw myself into him ina
panic.
“Don’t be afraid. The cops are here.” Ryan held me and patted my back. I shivered uncontrollably butheld back my tears. I buried my face in his chest and tried to compose myself as tears welled in myeyes.

his hand. I was still shaking because of the recent harrowing experiences.

Ryan turned grim, looking like he wanted to say more but held back. Shortly after, someone knockedon
the car window again. Ryan patted my shoulder. “It’s okay now. Let’s get out.”
I could no longer hear the fighting outside. It seemed like the world had regained some semblance of
peace. However, my hands continued to shake as I looked at Ryan with fear. He nodded firmly, “Let’sgo.
Don’t be afraid.”
I took a deep breath and steadied my emotions when Ryan released me. He exited the car first, thenwent to the other side to help me out,
Everything smelled of eggs and a tinge of blood. Outside were traffic police and a group of bodyguards,even armed forces. When I looked back at Ryan’s car, it was almost unrepairable.
Ryan still protected me as we walked with the bodyguards toward Galar Tower. My injured foot strucksomething earlier, causing the pain to intensify. Ryan noticed my struggles and carried me.
Along the way, the cops subdued the crowd. The once chaotic crowd became hushed. The traffic policehad even cleared the road leading to the underground parking. It allowed the waiting vehicles to enter,significantly easing the road congestion.
I never expected to cause such chaos. Naturally, I was anxious and uncertain about how to handle theaftermath. When we arrived at Galar Tower, I noticed the press conference had relocated to occur
outside the building.
People crowded the area, surrounded by the special forces. Under the bodyguards‘ protection, Ryancarried me to the venue. Surprisingly, the press conference was no longer just about TanumCorporation because the authorities had involved themselves in this.
