The car showed no sign of slowing down-not even for a second.
If Lyle hadn't reacted fast enough by shoving Grace several feet to the side, they would undoubtedly have been sent flying through the air.
Instead, the two cars collided with a thunderous crash, and smoke immediately began to rise.
Anger boiled within Lyle as he stormed forward to confront Jodie. However, Grace's hand shot out, grabbing his arm before he could take a step.
He shook her off with a snarl. "When have you started letting people get away with this?"
No sooner had he spoken than Grace gestured toward the direction where Jodie
was.
It turned out that due to her excessive speed, the crash had caused the car door to deform, trapping Jodie inside the smoking car.
The same person who had shown no fear moments before was now panicking with tears building in her eyes. The sight was made more gruesome by the blood seeping from the wound on her forehead where she had hit the windshield.
She pounded at the window, but her strength was no match for the reinforced glass. It barely budged.
Lyle scoffed and let out a burst of hysterical laughter. "Serves her right. That's what you call 'karma.' She can burn in there for all I care. The car's about to go up in flames anyway."
His words hung in the air as he watched Grace's unexpected movement.
"Don't tell me you're going to be all saintly and save her?"
Grace walked right past him to her own car instead.
"I wonder if the insurance will cover this," she muttered with a sigh.
That car was an expensive car.
