“Really?” Shane’s expression was indifferent. He was clearly not very interested in what she was saying.

At that moment, a cat suddenly darted out of the flowerbed a few meters ahead of them. It came to a stop in the middle of the road.

Natalie’s face fell when she saw it. She shouted in warning, “Mr. Shane!”

Shane had a grim look on his face. He knew it was too late to pull the brakes now. Left with no other choice, he hastily jerked the steering wheel to the side. The car swerved to the left, heading right for the flowerbed. At the same time, he swiftly undid his seatbelt and lunged toward Natalie. Wrapping her in a protective embrace, he pinned her to the passenger seat.

BANG!

The car shuddered violently before the car alarms went off.

Natalie screamed in shock and terror, causing Shane to tighten his hold on her.

After a moment, the car stopped moving while the alarms stopped blaring. Everything seemed to return to normal.

It was only then Shane released Natalie and slowly moved away from her.

Natalie straightened up before glancing at the windshield. To her horror, the entire windshield was spiderwebbed with cracks. Her hair stood on end as a shiver raced down her spine.

“Mr. Shane, are you hurt?” she asked in a quavering voice. Her face was incredibly pale.

“No,” Shane dusted himself off, “You?”

She shook her head. “I’m not injured either.”
