She didn’t want to see herself wasting effort over nothing and eventually getting caught by Ethan.

If the man who spent a night with her seven years ago happened to be him, the fact that she cuffed him to the bed alone was enough to make him hold a grudge to this day. Once she was caught, he would probably skin her alive before cutting her body into pieces.

“I’m the best driver you’ll ever find in Rodcaster. Nobody is as good as me.” Aurelie beamed with pride. “Don’t worry. I got your back.”

“Then, we should make a break and leave here as fast as possible.” At that moment, Alice wished for nothing more than that.

She scanned around the yard to get ahold of the situation. A man was waiting next to a car the whole time, and she assumed he must be one of Ethan’s lackeys. He was the only person in her view so far.

It seemed like Ethan didn’t have enough time to gather more people before heading out to search for her. Either that, or he might want to keep a low profile and avoid attention.

It was also possible that he was confident in his capabilities and didn’t see the point in involving a lot of people to find a mere woman like her.

Anyway, the lack of numbers was giving her the advantage. As long as Aurelie drove as good as she boasted, Alice had a chance to escape.

Before the two could make it out of the yard, they watched as Ethan left the lobby while the waiting man got into the car with a swift move. The car jolted to a start and rolled down the path, then followed by a drift before it stopped right in front of Ethan. Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

Damn. Damn. Damn! He’s too freaking fast! Is that even possible?

There were indeed a lot of talented people around Ethan.

Apparently, Aurelie’s driving skills were nothing compared to the man’s. If Ethan assigned him to chase after Alice right now, she would not stand a chance.
