CHAPTER 611 SUDDEN ACCIDENT

Hank had parked his car by the roadside. Caught in the throes of passion, he failed to notice a white van careening toward them. It was not until Yelena screamed in a panic that he noticed the catastrophe looming over them.

His first reaction was to open the passenger door and push her out of the car. Shoved out of the vehicle, she landed quite a distance away and could only watch helplessly as the white van crashed into Hank's car.

There was a loud collision, followed by a massive explosion that blasted the entire scene. Yelena slumped to the ground amidst the flames, her face blackened by the billowing smoke.

When the passersby rushed over to help, she finally realized that the front of the car had been utterly crushed by the impact. Hank had been sitting in the driver's seat; if he remained in the car, he would be crushed and flattened by then.

She stared at the appalling state of the car with tears brimming in her eyes. "Hank!"

Releasing a gut-wrenching scream, she tried to rush forward. However, one of the passersby grabbed her and dragged her backward by the arm while cursing furiously, "Miss, what the hell are you doing? In that state, the car might explode at any given moment! Hurry up and run!"

She struggled to break free. "No! My boyfriend is in the car! I need to help him!"

"What boyfriend? Even if he was inside, he would've been crushed into a pulp by the massive impact just now!" The passerby shook his head and sighed, cautioning her against unnecessary risks.

Held down tightly, she was unable to move a single inch. Therefore, she could only watch helplessly as the car gradually burst into flames.

"Silly girl, what are you thinking? How could anything happen to me?"

Just as Yelena sunk into utter grief and despair, she suddenly heard a familiar voice behind her. Looking back in disbelief, she discovered Hank standing not far away with scratches on his face.

He was smiling. Moreover, his smile was warm and gentle. His expression almost seemed as though nothing drastic had occurred just moments earlier.

The accident had, however, terrified Yelena. Flooded with fear from her close brush with death, she threw herself into his arms. "Do you know how much you scared me earlier? You pushed me out of the way, but I couldn't find you anywhere. I thought you were still inside the car!"

He patted her on the back reassuringly. "How could I do that? I could never abandon you alone."

The truth was that he had no time to react earlier. Hence, he simply threw open his door and rolled to the side of the road. His swift actions ultimately resulted in injuries to his face during the process.

She raised her hand and touched the wounds on his face tenderly. "It must be painful. You must've gotten these injuries earlier. Let's get you examined at the hospital."

He shook his head and released her from his embrace. When the flames surrounding the car began to subside, he stepped forward to take pictures and collect evidence from the scene. Yelena watched him for a moment before she questioned, "What are you planning to do?"

"I suspect the incident today was not an ordinary accident. Look! There's nobody in the car, which means that the driver jumped out of the car and escaped."

Upon hearing those words, she widened her eyes in disbelief. "Are you saying somebody tried to harm us?"

"Pretty much."

She immediately became livid. "Who on earth would do that? Why would they want to harm us? It's not like we've offended anybody."

Hank stroked her hair to calm her down. "It's alright. There's no need to worry. I'll know the truth once I investigate this matter."

If my investigations reveal the culprit behind this incident, I will never forgive them. Anybody who dares to harm my beloved is simply asking for death.



Ever since Elspeth encountered that person during the book signing session previously, she had been feeling extremely restless.

She could not shake off the feeling that things were not as simple as they seemed. No way, the woman was merely similar to Emma in appearance. Not to mention, there was also the man who looked exactly like Callum.

Everything was puzzling and confusing, but it did not take long before she encountered that woman again.

The previous president of the Alphascape Group had resigned, and the new president was said to be a young woman. Nobody knew what sort of tricks she used to climb her way to the position in just half a year.

Elspeth originally thought the relationship between the two companies could start again on a clean slate now that the previous president was gone. It was not until she encountered the familiar face in the office that she abruptly felt overwhelmed and confused.

"Yena?"

The woman standing opposite Elspeth was dressed in a modest but professional suit. Furthermore, her movements gave off a sense of elegance and poise. If she was said to resemble Emma in appearance, it could also be said that she was considerably gentler and more respectable than Emma.
