Chapter 582: Richard is in Trouble

"Still got a tail?" Betty asked, cool as a cucumber.

Richard, just as chill, peeked in the rearview. "Yeah, dude's on me like white on rice, quick as a cat."

Betty paused. "Got your location. My crew's two hours out. Can you hang tight?"

"I'll give it a shot." Richard's hands were slick with sweat. He hadn't mentioned the three cars on his tail, not just one.

In his rush to meet Betty, he skipped the gas station. Planned to fill up on the highway, but now it was too late.

The gas gauge was dropping fast, and the car was dragging. The goons knew they were spotted and would close in soon.

Betty took a deep breath. "Richard, you're our kid's dad. You can't let anything happen to you."

Richard glanced at the car's charm, a photo of Betty she'd hung there. She always said, "A married man should have his wife's pic in the car for luck."

With a helpless grin, Richard rubbed the photo, his voice cracking. "Betty."

"I'm here," Betty said, trying to keep it together.

"I love you."

On the other end, Betty went quiet.

She knew Richard sucked at showing feelings. Him saying "I love you" meant he wasn't sure he'd make it.

"Richard, if you die, they'll call me a jinx and laugh at me. Can you handle that?" Betty's voice broke, trying to joke through her tears.

Richard swerved, breathing hard to dodge the car ramming him from behind. "Betty, wait for me."

"Richard, I'm telling you, if you die, I'll remarry and our kid will call someone else 'Daddy'," Betty yelled, panic in her voice as she heard the chaos.

A loud crash, the car behind slammed into Richard's ride. He swerved, smashing into the guardrail. The airbag blew, and his vision blurred.

"Richard!" Betty screamed his name, over and over, until the phone shattered and went dead.
