Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 1754: Gone

Meanwhile...

Shawn looked back at the backseat. Penny was still unconscious, which wasn’t surprising. After all, the shot he gave her was a strong dosage meant to keep her down.

Letting out a deep breath, he faced forward.

"She has shadow guards around," he said. "They’ll definitely follow us. I barely bought enough time before they catch up."

The driver remained silent, calm even as their speed steadily increased. "I already see one behind us."

"Don’t bother with them," Shawn said. "Just try to lose them. They won’t do anything but follow."

He paused, glancing at the side mirror. "They won’t risk hurting her in a chase."

Just as planned. It was the reason why, even after Penny gave him the code, he still took her. If he hadn’t, her men would’ve pursued them to the ends of the earth—and it wouldn’t just be a deadly chase. Gunfire could erupt while they were still on the road.

"A confrontation with them isn’t part of the plan," Shawn added. "Just keep driving. I’ll handle it if they get too close."

The driver gave no reply, focusing solely on the road.

Several cars behind, Mark swerved across lanes, earning blaring honks from other drivers on the highway—but he didn’t care. His eyes were locked on the black sedan several cars ahead. He couldn’t afford to lose it.

Teddy, still holding his breath, was practically fused to his seat. His heart leaped every time Mark changed lanes. It was reckless, but necessary.

"That’s their car!" he shouted, pointing. "I know it—I memorized it."

Mark didn’t answer, already zeroed in on the vehicle.
