Chapter 906
At first, John thought that the file was work-related, but when he flipped it open, he realized that it wasa report of the investigation they ran on the Baileys. It was too complicated, so John only skimmedthrough it before saying, “Just leave it here. I’ll slowly go through it. It’s so thick!”
Zack clicked his tongue at the comment. “Yeah, the Baileys have too many issues. I sent someone toinvestigate and opened a can of worms. How annoying! They even reported some insignificant detailsto me.”
John grunted. “Yeah, you’ve put in a lot of hard work.”
Zack was obviously tired as he replied, “I’ll leave you to deal with this. I'm heading back now—there arepiles of work waiting for me.”
John sat in his chair for a while and made a call to Sophia. It took her some time to pick up the call, andshe inquired if he was done with the Baileys. Frankly speaking, John didn’t need to do anything for theBaileys except for showing up. Thus, he replied, “Yeah, there’s nothing to deal with anymore. I justwanted to know what you’re doing.” novelbin
She told him that she wanted to meet with Matilda, for she couldn’t hold back her need to gossip andwanted to check with Matilda about the events from last night.
To that, John reminded her to be careful on the road. He agreed that she should meet up with Matilda,or else she’d be bored to death at home. Now, Sophia found good company in Matilda and they couldchat with each other to relieve their boredom. The two didn’t chat further and hung up.
At home, Sophia went downstairs and ordered the bodyguard to drive her to Matilda’s place. Their carfinally entered the highway halfway down the mountain when the driver warned, “Mrs. Constance, sittight. I’m going to accelerate.”
She immediately understood his meaning and turned around to stare at the cars behind them. “There’ssomething wrong, am I right?”
The driver reported, “Two cars are targeting us, one from each side. Hold tight.”
In the next second, the driver floored the accelerator and the car flew along the highway. Themomentum threw Sophia back against the seat. She clutched tightly onto her seatbelt with one handand placed the other on her belly. After some time, she finally noticed the two cars trailing behind themand hurriedly made a call to John.
With her speaker on, she explained their situation to him. The driver chimed in and reported that hecould not get rid of them. Based on his tone, he sounded unconfident.
John immediately turned solemn and ordered the driver to head into downtown. Also, he assured themthat he would send someone to help out right away and reminded the driver to keep him updated of hislocation.
At the back, Sophia felt a little afraid; she was mostly worried that something might happen to the babyshe was carrying. Even though she had not reached the latest stage of pregnancy, she had suffered alot during this journey. Please don’t let anything happen to the baby.
Following John’s orders, the driver headed downtown and even actively searched around forintersections with traffic lights in order to get rid of the two cars behind them. However, the two cars
were acting crazy and didn’t even stop after they accidentally scraped against other cars in the chase.The driver mumbled, “They probably want to ram into us.”
Sophia grunted helplessly. If the two cars rammed into them with enough force, she might actually losethe baby from the injuries. John seemed to have overheard the driver’s worried comment and keptasking for their location.
The driver was apparently an experienced bodyguard because he slid around the traffic like an eel.Downtown, there were more traffic lights. Then, Sophia saw there was a green light that was turningred soon, so she quickly screamed, “Look over there!”
The driver understood her meaning and accelerated. It went without saying that it was dangerous todrive at that speed in downtown area.
