Chapter 571: Everyone in the Douglas family is very cunning.

In the car behind, the two dudes exchanged a look, floored it, and quickly backed up to bail.

Yeah, they got busted while tailing.

Ethan scowled. Were they here to keep tabs on him?

This crew probably wasn't Howard's, but Claire's.

Claire was likely trying to see if he'd go meet Brandon.

Claire hadn't gone full psycho on Ethan yet 'cause she was too cocky about handling all of Daniel's mess.

"Brandon, Claire's goons are on me. She'll probably find you before I do. Play along with her and Daniel," Ethan muttered into the phone to Brandon.

"Man, you're something else, making me mess with your dad and now your stepmom. What do you think I am?" Brandon teased, sounding exasperated.

"It's crunch time. If you screw this up, I'll really get rid of you," Ethan threatened, his voice low.

On the other end, Brandon coughed nervously. "Got it, boss. I'll handle it."

Ethan needed Brandon to stall and see what Howard's next move would be.

Howard would definitely go after Claire first.

After all, Claire knew too much.

Ethan wanted Howard and Claire to duke it out. In a tight spot, someone would spill the beans to save their own skin.

To take down Howard and dig up the truth from years ago, Claire was the only lead. And Claire's weak spot was her own life.

On the way back to the Douglas place, Claire was in the car, catching some Z's. Suddenly, there was a loud crash from behind, and a small car got hit and went flying. Claire jolted awake, looking out the window in a panic.

"That was nuts. If that car hadn't broken the rules and rushed out, we would've been toast," the driver said, still shaken.

Claire's face went pale, and she felt a chill down her spine.

Could Howard really be trying to off her?

"Let's not get involved. Get us back, quick!" Claire said nervously, her voice shaking.

Her biggest fear now was Howard taking her down with him.
