NovelEnglish“But Mathews isn’t dumb...”
Mark’s expression darkened.
“Why are you worried? Our men have already set up an ambush outside! When they start fighting, we just need
to stir things up a bit.
Then he looked at Merlin and said, “Merlin, your sister's unreliable.
I'm counting on you for the rest.
If you pull it off, I'll give you the land.
Merlin nodded slightly, sounding all obedient.
“Grandpa, don’t worry.
| won't let you down.
He looked down, but his eyes were gleaming with mischief.

Was Mark just trying to sweeten the deal with sland? Merlin grinned.
Actually he wanted the whole Garza family!
Meanwhile, the car Hannah was in was racing down the road at top speed.
Just like they feared, Mathews’s men quickly closed in!
Muvrand was a different world.
Here, the rich ran everything, and Mathews was one of the big bosses.
Hannah and her group were stuck on the elevated bridge, with all surrounding vehicles blocked and more than a
dozen cars tailing them!
The driver gripped the wheel tight, eyes fixed on the road.
“What do we do? If we don’t find a way out, we're done for!” He glanced nervously in the rearview mirror.
“They're right on our tail!”
Hannah stayed unusually calm.
“Mr.
Cartwright, | can’t see the road well and can’t figure out the situation.
If we're surrounded on both sides...” Her eyes darkened.
“Then we'll just have to try to bust through!”
“Lettake the wheel!” Dotson said, eyes wide.
“I learned racing from my boss.
| only picked up a bit, but | should be better than you.
| can probably get us out of this mess!”
The driver hesitated.
“If we switch drivers now, they'll block us right away.
Layne spoke calmly.

“Listen, we can take a detour and find another path.
Then we can switch drivers and make a run for it.
They've got a lot of people, but they can’t block every route.
We still have a shot!”
“Yes, sir!”
The car sped up, and Layne pulled out three pistols from a box, handing two to Hannah and Dotson.
“Take these, just in case.
Hannah held the pistol, her heart sinking.
They were playing with fire!
If they couldn’t escape, they'd be finished!
At that moment, she thought of Bryson.
If he were here, he’d probably be scolding her for being reckless.
“Hey, drive faster!” Layne ordered, his voice cold.
