Chapter 1646

Everyone in the van with Wendy thought she had lost her marbles. Despite their years spent asoutlaws, none of them had gone batshit crazy like her.

Watching her in her frenzied state, the man at the wheel began to regret taking her money for thisjob. He wasn’t afraid of death, but he wasn’t about to throw his life away recklessly either. He had acrew to look after, lives that couldn’t be gambled away on a whim.

Wendy was a complete madwoman.

Once her rage subsided, a sinister smile crept onto her face. “No fun in offing her right away.”

She said, chuckling darkly, as her gaze drifted to the traffic jam ahead. “Once the power’s back andthe traffic clears, bring her to melc2

Yasmine had always assumed Ava was out to kill her. The ideal outcome for Ava would be Yasminedropping dead on the spot, leaving Ava free of any worries for good. But she never expectedsomeone to leverage her, to provoke and pressure Chloe. Even less so, she couldn’t fathomsomeone brazen enough to destroy a car door in broad daylight, not to kill her, but to take her awayby force!

“Be good, or I’ll blow his brains out!”

The man’s face twisted in sadistic pleasure, and he pressed a gun to Bryson’s forehead, threateningYasmine

Yasmine’s expression didn’t waver; she remained impassive. “Do you think I can outmaneuver abullet? Are you new to this or just inexperienced to threaten me with such words?”

The thug’s face flushed a deep red at Yasmine’s retort, pressing the gun harder against her temple.“One more word, and I swear I’ll kill you”

Yasmine smirked. “My life is in your hands anyway, isn’t it? If you think you can explain my death toyour boss or your client, be my guest”

The thug was left speechless by Yasmine’s insolence. He couldn’t just kill her, of course! His bosshad taken the client’s money to bring this woman back alive She wasn’t to be killed at least not yet.If killing her was the plan, he would’ve done so without all this fuss Yasmine must’ve figured this outBeing seen as a non–threat by the person you were threatening was rather humiliating,

“Enough talk! Even if I don’t take your life, it doesn’t mean I can’t take his! Be smart and come withme peacefully!”

Yasmine glanced at Bryson, who was at gunpoint and pursed her lips. You will take me no matter Icooperate or not. Why waste words?”

At hearing her words, the thug retorted sarcastically. “You’re smarter than I thought!”

“Don’t go with him!” Bryson, who understood Yasmine’s intention, tried to stop her.

In response, the thug, apparently provoked, fired a shot at Bryson’s leg. He staggered and fell toone knee as his left thigh took the bullet. The gunshot sent everyone around into a panic, theirscreams piercing the air.

That’s when someone shouted. The power’s back! Call the cops. Let’s get out of here!”

Hearing the commotion, the thug’s expression changed. Knowing Yasmine couldn’t run, he scoopedher up and rushed back to the van before traffic started moving

Upon seeing Wendy in the van, Yasmine’s eyebrows furrowed.

Wendy, meeting Yasmine’s gaze wore a gleeful smile “Hello, Ms. Yasmine!”

Yasmine’s eyes narrowed, and a flash of cold fury in her eyes. “You’re a fool, and you don’t evenknow it.”

Wendy’s smile faded for a moment before returning, wider than before. “Well, Ms. Yasmine,wouldn’t it be ironic if you and your daughter ended up dead at the hands of this fool? What wouldthat make you?”

Yasmine laughed coldly Only a lunatic like you would pull such a stunt! Do you think Chloe won’tsee through this charade? You’re so used to being the sheltered heiress, that you think everythinggoes according to your plans! Have these experiences taught you nothing? Chloe is no fool likeyou?” Hearing herself compared to Chloe, and unfavorably at that made Wendy’s face contort inanger ‘Since your precious Chloe is so perfect. ( think it’s only fair you two meet before you die,don’t you agree?”

Yasmine replied coldly, “As I said, she’s not as foolish as you”

Wendy’s lips tightened into a thin line She fell silent as the traffic began to move. The driver startedthe van weaving through the

ahead

Bryson, injured and helpless, could only watch as the van carrying Yasmine disappeared into thedistance Goring his teeth against the pain, he managed to stand with the help of the car door Hepulled out his phone to call Chloe

Chloes car was also stuck in traffic due to the sudden blackout it took a while for the power to returnand the traffic to clear. She had wondered about the sudden power outage but didn’t give it muchthought

”

Soon after the traffic started moving again, she got a call from Bryson

“Bryson, what’s up?”

“Miss Chloe

Bryson’s voice was filled with urgency. He called out to Chloe but didn’t say anything else.

“What’s wrong. Bryson?”

Bryson paused, then said, “Nothing, I just called to check if you were home yet”

Chloe frowned. “We parted ways only 15 minutes ago Greenfield Village is in the suburbs, there’sno way I could be home su soon. Moreover, you should’ve reached home before me. You do knowall this, right?”

Bryson paused again, his breath shaky from the pain in his leg. Yes, I know. We just got stuck intraffic, so I thought maybe you got home early?”

Chloe didn’t suspect anything from Bryson’s excuse, responding casually, “I was stuck in traffic too.Probably because of the city–wide blackout”

“Oh, I see. Let me know when you get home.”

Got it. You guys stay safe out there.”

Chloe ended the call, her brows furrowing in puzzlement as she stared at the recent call logs fromBryson on her phone.

“What’s up? You’ve been looking worried since you took that call? Elizabeth, sitting nearby, couldn’thelp but voice her concern upon seeing Chloe’s distressed expression.

With a small shake of her head, Chloe pocketed her phone. It’s nothing, just that Bryson’s callseemed a bit off”

“What was off about it?”

Chloe pondered for a moment, her brows knitted tight, but she just shook her head again “MaybeI’m just
