As David trudged down the mountain with weak steps, two cars were driving up from the

bottom.

David clutched the rock, legs trembling and drenched in cold sweat, deeply regretting setting up the situation to embarrass Natasha without first understanding the full picture.

Although he still felt Olivia was pitiful, when he shared the same plight, his dream of playing a hero to avenge Olivia was no longer pleasant.

He didn’t know his phone had received countless missed calls from his parents scolding him, nor about his impending fate of going to Cabath to meet up with Matthew.

Otherwise, he might have wished for death.

When he encountered the first car coming up the mountain road, he instructed his driver to stop it.

The car was stopped, and the window rolled down. David glanced at the woman in the driver’s seat.

She looked somewhat familiar, but he didn’t recognize her.

It wasn’t a luxury car, so he felt she probably wasn’t from the social circle of Andphis City.

He raised his chin and stated, “I’m requisitioning your car to take me down the mountain. I’ll give you 3 thousand dollars.”

Claire first sized up his hair, noting it wasn’t the blonde she remembered, before her gaze fell on his arrogant face.

Her lips tightened as she thought, ‘A person’s true nature wouldn’t improve with time, it

seems.

She restarted the car and said, “Get your man out of the way, or I’ll run him over.

After saying that, she actually edged forward slightly.

David’s driver was startled and jumped away before David could even speak.

David glared at him, watching helplessly as the car that was his only hope drove away. Smelling the car exhaust, he began to curse loudly.

He felt that he wasn’t supposed to talk to any women today.
