The sudden movement jolted Lila, but she quickly stabilized herself before looking up. She saw someone dressed all in black, with a black cap and mask.

It was Pierre. The only visible part was his eyes, fixed intently on Lila in the passenger seat.

The designated driver honked the horn twice, but no one moved.

Was this an extortion attempt? The driver just wanted to do his job. The driver was clearly irritated. "Miss, wait a moment. I'll go drive him off."

"Wait..."

Lila tried to stop him, but the driver had already gotten out of the car. She quickly took out her phone and called the police.

The driver muttered something to Pierre, and his expression turned furious.

He made a move, but Pierre was faster, shoving him aside. Then, Pierre quickly climbed into the driver's seat.

Lila's nerves tightened as she reached for her seatbelt, preparing to exit the car.

But Pierre was quicker, locking the car doors immediately.
