In addition to the issue of J Corporation's image, she also needs to take into account the Hebert family. Now is a crucial period for Edward to be selected as a member of the Standing Committee. As Milo's fiancée, she couldn't afford a scandal at a time like this, whether it was real or not.
At this moment, Jordan also sensed something was wrong. These people are clamoring to see the person in charge, but now that someone has arrived, they are not given a chance to speak and just come up and take action, which is too unreasonable. And do ordinary villagers really have the courage to throw stones at people?
The surroundings were in chaos, and within just a few tens of meters, Averi walked out of the long feeling.
Dallas protected her all the way back to the car until it started and someone was tapping the window.
Averi quickly reminded Dallas, "Don't hurt anyone."
Dallas said calmly, "Trust me."
He kicked the gas pedal, and the piercing roar startled the people surrounding them. Their survival instinct made them instinctively retreat. Dallas seized the opportunity, slammed on the gas pedal, and drove backwards.
"Be careful. "He crossed his arm across her chest in advance, then swung his tail and turned the front of the car to gallop.
Averi couldn't react and leaned forward suddenly, luckily he had his arm to protect her.
Averi: "No, I can't just leave like this. The situation hasn't been resolved yet."
"We can't resolve this." Dallas interrupted her sharply." These people came prepared and surrounded her very neatly. Under normal circumstances, if it's a sudden violent conflict, some of them will show hesitation and not want to participate. They will stay in the distance to observe or run away, but none of these people hesitate."
"It's obvious that they were prepared to surround you from the beginning."
Averi remained quiet for a few seconds and revealed the truth to Dallas, "I guessed it."
Dallas turned to look at her, his eyes sharp and tinged with anger. "You knew and still came?"
How do you know what trick the other party has prepared for me if you don't come? "Said the tone lightly.
Dallas wanted to say 'too risky', but there was another voice in his heart telling him: she wouldn't listen. He pursed his lips, didn't speak again, and even stopped looking at her.
Averi looked at the man's indifferent profile and was slightly surprised: Is this... angry?
Quickly, Dallas discovered the problem one step ahead of Averi. Quickly sorting everything out in my mind, it turned out that the grand farce just now was just a cover up, and the real action was in the car.
Someone took advantage of the chaos and tampered with the car, causing the brakes to malfunction.
He calmly turned his direction and headed towards the sparsely populated K Mountain. He remembered that there was a relatively gentle uphill slope, with a large patch of wild grass and wasteland on both sides of the road. Maybe he could jump off the car while slowing down on the uphill.
After encountering three consecutive green lights with luck, Dallas ran out of luck and stepped on the gas pedal hard, rushing past the last second of the yellow light.
Averi looked at him in confusion and asked, "Where are we going?"
"Brookfield."
"What are you going to Brookfield for?"
Dallas didn't answer the question, but turned around and asked, "Averi, do you believe me?"
The two of them had been entangled for so long, and this was the first time he had called her by name. His voice was low, and even her name carried weight.
Averi looked at him deeply and didn't respond.
Dallas's eyes lit up with self deprecation, but he quickly suppressed him and said, "Put on everything you can wear in the car, protect your skin as much as possible, and slowly climb onto me."
Averi hesitated for a moment, but still followed his instructions. There is a spare coat in the back seat, and Averi put it over herself before stepping onto Dallas' thigh.
She remembered the night in J Mountain, when she sat on top of him like this, teasing and teasing him to the extreme, and then letting him enter her body.
At that time, she never imagined that the two would relive that moment in such a way.
She whispered, 'There's a problem with the car, isn't there?'
Dallas didn't answer, just said, "You'll definitely hold me tight later and use your strength to nurse me." After a pause, he softened his voice and said, "Don't worry, it won't be okay. I've had many experiences jumping off a car."
But at that time, there was no burden from her.
Averi hugged him and let out a low 'hmm'.
She was afraid, of course, even imagining herself with a bloody head. But she knew that the biggest help she could provide for Dallas at this moment was not to distract him anymore.
The road ahead gradually opens up, and the green trees on both sides disappear, turning into withered yellow weeds.
Dallas took a deep breath and hugged the person in his arms tightly, only to realize that her body temperature was abnormally low.
My heart softened as Dallas spoke softly, "Close your eyes, hold me tight, and I'll be gone soon."
Averi still only had "um" and obediently closed her eyes tightly.
She felt the wind blowing through her hair, and Dallas held her back, accompanied by a strong sense of imbalance.
After the dull pain, the thoughts also rolled with the body, they kept rolling until the sky spun around.
The exposed calf skin was burning with pain, but Averi's brain went blank and she felt the pain was also surreal.
She lost her sense of time, as if it had been a century. The man beneath her gently stroked the back of her head and said, "It's okay."
Averi froze for a while, slowly opening his eyes and staring blankly at those light colored pupils.
He smiled and comforted her, "I told you it would be okay."
He could still manage a smile.
Averi has a fever in her eye sockets and a sore throat. The joy of surviving a disaster made her emotions out of control. She quickly closed her eyes and lowered her eyelashes to cover up her myriad thoughts.
