Forced Marriage: My Wife, My Redemption by Lilyheart

Chapter 302: Who ever said you were good?

In the quiet of the modified luxurious car as it sped toward the Allen Group Headquarters, Davis Allen sat in the back seat, his expression grim, the faint hum of the engine a backdrop to his thoughts.

The tinted windows revealed only streaks of morning sunlight filtering through tall city buildings. Davis took his time to monitor the trending news online. His jaw was set, his fists clenched, and his brow furrowed in confusion.

He couldn’t understand the motive behind Desmond releasing such false news of Elders Allen being hospitalized to the public. What exactly was he trying to achieve?

He had spoken with Elder Allen as soon as he got into the car that morning, and everything had seemed fine.

Trusting the place, he lodged him after the discharge, he is quite sure Desmond had no idea of the Old man’s situation.

"Anyway, we play it by the ear." He concluded.

"Do you have the report from the Noveria branch?" Davis asked.

"Yes, sir," Ethan responded from the front seat.

"Give me a copy," he muttered.

His gaze shifted to his personal car ahead which had turned to a decoy, trailed closely by an unfamiliar vehicle. Davis narrowed his eyes and shook his head.

He dialed out, connecting to his subordinate through the Bluetooth system. "Try losing that car. Let’s see what happens."

The subordinate responded promptly, increasing speed. The trailing car matched pace.

As Davis watched the situation unfold, memories of his accident began to resurface—sharp, unwelcome. The violent spin, the blaring horn, the unbearable silence that followed.

He was even surprised, he could recollect the scene of the accident without falling into shock as usual, his lips curled up.

Through the Bluetooth, he gave another set of instructions. "Don’t cross the next junction. Instead, divert right at. the. very. last. second."

Just as he expected, the lead car accelerated toward the junction as the traffic light changed, but the car tailing them didn’t move an inch. At the last moment, the driver veered to the right. A truck zoomed through the intersection, its headlights glaring and horn blaring across the street.

Watching the scene made his breath hitch, his chest tightening. He didn’t want to imagine what the situation would have been if the driver had maintained going straight.

"I think we’ve confirmed what we needed to," Davis said. "Return home slowly."
