Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 248 Survival Instincts

Jean walked toward the bridge hole. She studied it for a while, then compared it to Mr. Gary’s tie on the tree.

“The distance is just right. If the rescue team comes, they will be able to spot it right away. If someone else other than the rescue team sees it, we will be saved too.”

Mr. Gary was puzzled. “Who else will come other than the rescue team?”

Jean lowered her head and moved the branches under her foot. “There are still buildings and houses around this area. There are no surveillance cameras around, and there is no signal here. Anything can happen.”

They were lucky that they had only ran into a group of stray dogs.

Humans were the scariest creatures on Earth. Especially humans who are left with no other choices.

They would do anything to stay alive.

“Mr. Gary, was our route to the site predetermined?”

“…Yes. We decided it during the company’s meeting.” Mr. Gary stared at Jean for a few seconds before shaking his head. “It wouldn’t be planned by someone, would it?”

Jean smiled. “We don’t know for sure.”

It was not a hard task to stage a car accident.

Especially for someone powerful like Andy.

Jean narrowed her eyes. If this was a scheme plotted by someone in secret, then tonight would not be a quiet night. They might not even be able to wait for the rescue team’s arrival.

Mr. Gary was a smart person too. After hearing Jean’s words, he muttered in a low voice. “Well, Mr. Shaw’s assistant did ask…”

As soon as he finished his words, he widened his eyes in surprise. “Ms. Eyer, do you think that we have a mole in our company? And that mole is Mr. Shaw? That’s impossible.”

Jean lowered her head. She wasn’t sure whose side Mr. Gary was on.

“I didn’t say that. I was just asking you about the company’s arrangements.”

This reason sounded legit.

Mr. Gary swallowed hard. He wiped off the cold sweat that broke on his forehead. “Right. You didn’t ask me anything! I didn’t say anything as well!”

It was a windy night. It was not wind-proof under the bridge, but it provided them with some shelter.

Mr. Gary squatted on the floor. He was already too exhausted.
