Lucy had no time to think about where she had seen that red BMW before. She gunned the accelerator and drove 1.5 times faster than she had been driving.

After being married to him for three years, she was well aware of his temper— He set the rules and never left anyone any room for negotiation!

It was 10.30 p.m. and there weren't many cars on the road, but Lucy's speeding scared quite a few drivers...

"F*ck, what's the rush?!"

"Does she want to f*cking die?!"

"Do you even know how to drive? Don't you know it's very dangerous?"

Lucy usually hated people who sped on the road, but circumstances really forced her to speed that day. She could only shout out the window, "Urgent business, sorry!"

She was driving too fast and the wind was too strong, so she didn't even know if the drivers could hear her.

Lizbeth, who was tailing Lucy, didn't know what was going on as she saw Lucy driving at the speed of light.

"Could she have noticed me?" She muttered to herself and immediately sped up.

However, Lucy was going way too fast. She simply couldn't keep up!

"She must have noticed me and was afraid that I would discover her secret!" Lizbeth looked at the Audi that was getting farther and farther away and punched the steering wheel hard.

She was sure that Lucy had ulterior motives for approaching Arthur!

If it wasn't because of guilt, why would Lucy get away so fast?

...

Someone had called the police, and Lucy was stopped when she almost reached Llindbarry Chateau.

"Officer, let me meet someone first, then I'll go with you. Is that okay?" Lucy got out of her car, but when she saw the head officer, she knew she had a problem.

The last time she was suspected of 'attempted murder', it had been the same policeman who had arrested her!

The policeman kept quiet and handcuffed her, then shoved her into the police car. "No!"

"Officer, it really was an accident..."

"The last time you drove recklessly, you said it was an accident. Now that you're caught speeding late at night, you still say that it was an accident. Why do so many accidents happen to you?"

Even though Lucy was good with words, she had nothing to say right then.

If she were a policewoman, she would not believe in the same excuse either!

Lucy once again regretted what she had done that time!

The policeman made her do a breathalyzer test, and after confirming that she hadn't drunk any alcohol and her emotions were stable, he uncuffed her.

"Thank you!" Lucy exercised her wrists and looked at the time. She was so anxious. Fifteen minutes had long since gone by. How was she going to explain herself to Arthur?

The policeman looked at her. "You regret it now?"

"I regretted it the moment I started speeding." Lucy was very humble, hoping to receive a light punishment. The best case scenario was that she could leave at once after paying a fine!

The policeman didn't buy it at all. "People like you who drive luxury cars always say you're sorry when we catch you, but you'll do it again!"

"Officer, it's really my..." It was her first time!

She was interrupted before she could finish. "Don't try to talk your way out of it. We've reached the station, hurry up and get off!"

Lucy let out a long sigh and followed the policeman. When she heard the other policemen say, "Isn't she the pretty lady from last time?" and "Isn't she that hottie who drove recklessly?", she wished she could disappear.

In the past five years, she had made herself a successful woman entrepreneur. No matter how hard and tiring the journey had been, there had never been a moment she had felt so awkward and embarrassed!

Ring—

Ring—

In front of the police station, Lucy's phone rang. "Officer, may I answer the phone?"

"Yes, but only after we go inside!"

She was not a criminal, so she was free to answer a phone call.

Lucy looked at the caller ID and answered the call with mixed feelings.

Before she could speak, he roared angrily, "Lucy, you're getting more daring!"

"I can explain." Lucy felt as though bad luck clung to her from the day she had met Arthur again. "I've been taken to the police station, now... Beep, beep, beep!"

Hearing the dial tone, she lowered her phone nervously.

Had Arthur hung up because he had run out of patience?

Lucy sat down and answered whatever questions the policeman asked her and filled in anything he asked her to. She was about to blow.

If the Pate Group went bankrupt because of her, how would she face Maddox again? How would she make up for it?

She was going crazy!

"Mr. Johnson, what brings you here?" Right then, one of the policemen hollered.

Lucy turned around and was stunned when she saw Arthur.

He was dressed casually, and his hair that was usually neatly styled was slightly messy. He was panting hard when he came inside. He had obviously rushed there.

"To look for someone!" Arthur replied. With a look of anger in his eyes, he rushed to Lucy.
