Elias’ Crimes and Punishments of Romance

Chapter 66 It’ll Affect Everyone if He’s Upset

At 5.00AM, Dick decided to avoid the highway, fearing it would attract the cops’ attention. However, he could not shake off the feeling that several cars were tailing him.

At first, there was only one, which he dismissed as his over-sensitivity. However, he realized something was amiss as more cars appeared and slowly surrounded him.

Driving the car onto a secluded road, he glanced at Aiden in the back seat. “I need to use the restroom. You stay in the car and behave, okay?”

He speculated that the cops must have caught up with him. If they apprehended him, it would spell trouble, and Amanda would spare no effort to ensure he ended up in jail.

Since the cops are here, it should be relatively safe to entrust Aiden to their care. As such, Dick deliberately steered the car into a nearby cornfield and swiftly exited the vehicle, leaving behind the innocent Aiden, who believed he had simply stepped out to use the restroom.

Meanwhile, Amanda watched from one of the cars in the back as Dick’s car drove off the road and disappeared into the cornfield. She instantly panicked. “What’s happening?”

Driving, the bodyguard speculated. “They must have realized we were tailing them and attempted to evade us.” He then parked the car by the side of the road, and the entire team disembarked, rushing into the cornfield.

She pushed the car door to exit, but the bodyguard quickly intervened. “Miss Bailey, please remain in the car. Let us handle the situation.”

“I need to see-”

Before she could finish her sentence, the bodyguard interrupted her. “It could be dangerous. If the kidnappers have brought the car to a place like this, there’s a possibility they intend to use someone as a hostage. It’s safer for you to stay here.”

Seeing the highly trained bodyguard, Amanda nodded in agreement. Considering they are under Elias’ command, I can trust their skills.

As she complied and remained in the car, her forehead became covered in a thin layer of cold sweat due to nervousness. She could not help but wonder if they could rescue Aiden successfully. Her fingers tightly clutched her skirt, every passing second feeling like an eternity.
