Chapter 748 | Won't Be Stingy
"Yes, thank you." Chloe got into the car without any hesitation.
As soon as she was in, the driver locked the car. At the stime, a cold knife pressed against her neck. "Move
and I'll end you.”
Chloe stiffened, thinking it was a robber. She steadied her breathing and said cautiously, "Sir, | have money. How
much do you want? Please don't hurt me."
The man laughed. "How much do you think your life is worth?"
"Staying alive is most important. | won't be stingy if | can afford it."
What a joke! Of course, money was not as important as one's life. Nothing else mattered if one was dead.
"Such a pity, but we don't want your money."
A sense of foreboding swept over her. "What do you mean?"
In the next second, someone covered her head with a black bag. Her vision was cut off as the knife at her neck

She quickly cto the conclusion that this was not a simple robbery. Xavia had most probably informed
Duskfall, so they sent assassins after her. Callum proved to be unreliable, his bodyguards nowhere to be found at
this critical moment.
The car made its way toward the city center. "There are traffic cops up ahead. What should we do?"
"It'll be fine. Drive as per usual and don’t arouse suspicion. We'll turn off the road after this intersection."
Chloe clenched her fists and knew that this might be her only chance to get help. The results would be
unimaginable if she missed it. She struggled to focus as sweat rolled down her face. She slowly put her hand into
her pocket and found her personal alarm. At the stime, she kept an ear on the sounds outside.
She had always bumped into drunk men while abroad and got used to carrying an alarm on her. Though she was
now back in her homeland, she still carried it around. And once the car entered the busy roads, the cops would
surely hear the alarm.
As the traffic grew louder, Chloe prepared to risk it. But suddenly, a heavy impact caught her off guard and sent
her flying. Her head buzzed and her body ached. Before her mind cleared, her surroundings becnoisy.
"Fuck! Someone hit our car. The cops are coming toward us."
"Ignore them. Just turn around now.”
As the driver said this to his accomplice, their car was hit again.
"What the hell? It's like they're doing this on purpose."
“It’s the royal family’s bodyguards!"
Chloe could not see anything but she still boldly pressed on her alarm. The loud piercing noise shocked
everyone. Feeling the person holding her being startled and letting go of her, she quickly fumbled for the door
handle and tried to escape.
"ARI
She had managed to get the door open, but the driver grabbed her hair and held her back. Even though the
black bag, she felt like her hair was being ripped off.
"You're not getting away, bitch!”
Chloe was in too much pain to speak. Her eyes becteary as despair and fear overwhelmed her.
The car started speeding forward recklessly. One of the men grabbed her alarm and threw it out of the car. As
the traffic cops were left behind and Chloe felt that all hope was lost, the car that had hit them earlier took a
detour and caught up with them.

Shatter!
The car window broke.
Chloe shuddered, and in the next second, she smelled gunpowder. She quickly bent to get out of the way upon
realizing what was happening. The person beside her started cursing and firing back.
After what felt like a long time, her surroundings fell into silence. She smelled blood in the air as her heart beat
wildly. She took off the bag on her head and scanned her surroundings.
"You look terrified, Ms. Chloe.”
Two men in black hats appeared before her. Joseph stood beside them, both hands in his pockets. Chloe was
stunned and confusion overcher. "Why are you with Callum's men?"
"You should address him as your father." Joseph cocked an eyebrow at her.
She sneered. "I think you should handle your own family affairs before sticking your nose where it doesn’t
belong."
Joseph was baffled.
"Xavia’'s the mastermind of what happened tonight."
