Chapter 213

A heavy silence hung in the air. The heater made the car feel stuffy. Joshua tugged at his tie and cracked the window open a bit. A rush of cool air swept in, clearing the atmosphere instantly.

Allison hesitated before speaking, "You heard what my dad was implying earlier..."

The other bodyguard quickly pulled out his phone, "I'll call him and see where he's headed."

The black Bugatti roared down the highway, the world outside blurring by in a dizzying rush. The thunderous roar of the supercar drowned out the faint buzz of a phone alert.
