As soon as Walter's car left the parking lot, it got stuck outside. Ban glanced back. "Mr. Lopez, there's been an accident ahead. Multiple roads are blocked." Walter looked at his watch, expressionless. "Clear a path. Have the hospital staff keep Lonely Bird there." "Yes, sir!" Brian replied.

On the main boulevard of Crescentville's CBD, all eight lanes were at a standstill, with cars lined up and unable to move. Suddenly, a sharp siren pierced the air. Two motorcycles sped down the road, forcing the cars in the right lane to swerve aside. Right behind them, a sleek, luxurious Maybach cruised through smoothly. The other drivers could only watch, frustrated but silent. The moment they saw the license plate, they knew better than to mess with the owner of that car.

Now, the scene she had never witnessed in her past life was playing out right in front of her, and it struck Shakira as deeply ironic.

Shakira's outfit was mysterious, concealing every inch of her skin except for her amber eyes, which were now fixed on Yvette, filled with an icy, distant detachment. Suddenly, a flash of memory struck Yvette-Shakira's eyes. But she quickly pushed the thought out of her mind. How can I possibly associate Shakira with this important figure standing before me?
