The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1645

Bright red blood splattered instantly, unavoidably covering Bryson, who sat in the passenger seat. His eyes snapped

to attention, and almost immediately, he reached out to push

Yasmine’s head down into the car..

Several bullets pierced through the car window one after the other, grazing Yasmine’s hair and embedding

themselves into the window on the other side.

Had Bryson hesitated even a moment, Yasmine could have been killed on the spot!

Drivers on the main road exited their vehicles to investigate the situation ahead, only to witness this deadly

spectacle.

Such blatant gunfire in broad daylight was uncommon in the country, let alone in this bustling city. The scene

quickly spiraled out of control, with people on the streets ducking and running in panic. The chaotic scene forced

the gunfire to cease.c2

Bryson was certain that the shots fired earlier were from a sniper hidden in the distance, because this was a main

road, just a short distance ahead was an overpass, and the surrounding area was filled with moving vehicles. Plus,

given the current traffic jam, if there was a sniper in a car, it could only be in the vehicles closest to them.

However, judging by the direction of the incoming bullets, it was easy to determine they were coming from the left.

And all the cars on the left had their windows closed. Moreover, judging by the penetration power of the bullets,

there was no way they were fired from close

range.

Someone was clearly plotting a murder, and they were clearly the targets.

Bryson kept his hand firmly on Yasmine, even after the gunshots ceased. He glanced at Yasmine and asked, “Are

you okay, Miss?”

“I’m fine,” Yasmine replied, her face pale.

Bryson nodded and retrieved his phone from his pocket. “I’m going to call someone over right now.”

The driver was killed by the gunfire and slumped over due to the loss of weight.

A bullet had brutally penetrated his head, and from the gunshot wound, warm, red blood was still flowing out at an

alarming rate. The surrounding skin and flesh had burst open, a ghastly sight.

Yasmine quickly closed her eyes. Her eyelashes were trembling violently. To witness a living person lose their life

without any warning, to watch a vibrant life extinguished in front of her eyes, even with her strong mental fortitude,

she found it hard to accept such a harsh reality.

She might have been able to navigate the world of business, but she had never dealt with matters of life and death.

“Miss, please calm down, and take care of yourself,” Bryson advised.

Yasmine’s eyes were still tightly shut, but she responded, “… Bryson, someone wants to kill

me.”

Bryson’s face hardened even more. “You’re overthinking, Miss.”

Yasmine shook her head. “The sudden power outage in the city on a weekday, caused traffic control systems to fail,

and got us trapped here… all of these scenarios were part of their plan.”

Bryson, of course, had speculated this, but without evidence, he couldn’t make such assumptions. After all, his lady

was part of the royal family, and the implications of this

incident were vast.

Actually, he could guess who wanted her dead.

“The citywide power outage, the entire city nearly paralyzed, including surveillance systems. They can act without

any constraints. Considering the scope of this operation, I can’t think of a second person capable of such a feat…

Not just anyone with money could pull this off. There were very few people who were wealthy and had the

connections to cut off the city’s power supply effortlessly.

The Harper family was currently being cornered by the Obsidian Corporation and had no time to deal with her.

Other businesses harbored no grudge against her. So, the person in this

world who most wished for her death could probably be just one person.

Bryson’s face darkened, and his aged face was filled with anger. “Just how greedy is this

woman?!”

Yasmine chuckled bitterly. “In my life, I guess I’ll never find true love and friendship. The love and friends I

cherished turned out to be my most lethal enemies.”

Bryson looked at Yasmine sympathetically, trying to comfort her. “Don’t overthink, Miss. They might just be passing

through your life. There’s no need to waste feelings on these people

Yasmine laughed lightly, her mockery not lessened.

Lovers, friends…

What others considered the two most important aspects of life had ruined most of hers.

Passing through her life? If the two people who had taken half of her life, were just passersby, wouldn’t that be too

dismissive?

Bryson knew Yasmine had her own considerations. Anything more he said would be pointless, so he closed his

mouth and stopped dwelling on the topic

The gunfire outside had ceased. Bryson cautiously lifted his head slightly, and after a few seconds, there was no

response.

In broad daylight, such obvious gunfire had attracted everyone’s attention. Now

Chapter 1645

was in chaos, any intelligent person would be planning their escape. After all, the city wouldn’t allow the power

outage to last too long.

In reality, they only had a few minutes before the power returned. Now that the situation was chaotic, the success

rate of a remote sniper was almost negligible.

At this point, Bryson had succinctly made his call, confirming that the sniper had given up the attack, only then did

he allow Yasmine to sit up.

Wendy, who had been hiding in her car from the beginning, observed the situation from afar. Seeing that the sniper

had given up the attack, her face twisted in frustration. She pressed the communicator in her ear, shaking with

rage.

“Why did you stop? She’s sitting up! Shoot! What are you waiting for?!”

“Visual interference, no success rate, if we don’t leave now, we’ll be discovered. We have to cancel the plan!”

“What do you mean cancel?!!” Wendy’s voice was sharp and hysterical. “If you back off now, it’s like alerting the

enemy. It won’t be as easy as today if you try again in the future! Do you

understand?!!”

The sniper had no intention of listening to her. “No matter what you say, I can’t carry out the plan today! If you

want to, do it yourself!”

Wendy was so angry that her whole body was shaking. “Incompetent!!”

The other party directly cut off the communication with her.

Wendy was so angry that she ripped the communicator from her ear and threw it aside.

“Incompetent, coward, good for nothing!”

She cursed under her breath, seething with anger as she sat alone in the passenger seat. It took a while for her

rapid, rage–filled breaths to slow and steady, and when they finally did. she fixed her gaze on a car not too far

away. Her eyes were filled with a malicious glint.

“Yasmine has to die!”

Her words were practically squeezed through her clenched teeth, each syllable sounding as if she was biting into

Yasmine herself, full of pure hatred.

Yasmine was the one Chloe cared about the most if she were to die, the look on Chloe’s face would surely be a

sight to behold!
