Chapter 267

had already lost his cool. “What? Why did they knock into our car? Have they lost their minds?”With that, he lifted his head and looked out of the window.Just then, Greta had already gotten out of the car.She had never met Josiah before, nor did she know Winnie was in that car when the vehicles collided.It was not until she walked over to the other car that she realized who was in it. She exclaimed, “Ms. Garland? Why are you here?”Winnie stared at Greta, her frown deepening. “I was about to ask you the same. Why did you ram into us?”Greta did not know how to respond. “We didn’t do it on purpose. We encountered Harold’s men outside the hospital, and our car got shot, which caused problems with our brakes. Then, we received an order from Mr. Fairchild telling us to take this road to Yeringham. We didn’t want to cause you guys any delay, so we sped all the way here. Who would’ve known your car would be here the moment we exited the junction? I swear, Mason really did hit the brakes, but we were speeding so fast that we didn’t manage to stop in time. We would’ve slowed down if we knew you were ahead of us. Man… This is such a huge misunderstanding. You won’t cut our pay, will you, Ms. Garland?”Winnie rolled her eyes at Greta. “Well, you should consider yourself lucky for not killing me. Otherwise, you two won’t get a single cent.”When she finished her sentence, she turned to the phone and said, “There you go, Xavier. You better not come over. We should hurry on. There’s no time to lose.”“All right. Actually, I just wanted to tell you they’ve caught up to you. You guys should hurry up,” Xavier said grimly.“Okay,” responded Winnie.Josiah, too, promised, “Don’t worry. We won’t fall behind.”He hung up as soon as he finished speaking because holding the device while driving was a hassle.The moment he put away the phone, he heard Winnie opening the car door.He quickly turned around to look at her. “What are you doing?”As Winnie got out of the car, she said, “I’m going to have a word with them. Your forehead’s bleeding, by the way. You might want to clean it up.”With that, she walked toward the other car.Seeing Winnie getting out of the car, Greta quickly followed after her. “What’s wrong, Ms. Garland?”“I’m going to check on my friend. Is he all right?” answered Winnie while striding forward.“Yep! We’ve protected him well and made sure he’s not the slightest bit injured,” Greta said proudly.Winnie nodded. “I’m going to have a word with him. Can you check on the rest to see if they need your help?”Once Greta was dismissed, the window beside Christopher rolled down.He stuck his head out of the window and asked, “Everything all right?”“Yep.” Pausing briefly, Winnie frowned while gazing at him. “Are you coming back with us this time, or are you going to wait for the organization’s arrangements?”Christopher paused momentarily before speaking. “That depends if there’s a space for me. From what I know, Xavier has arranged for a chopper. Will there be enough space for me, too?”Winnie was relieved to hear that from Christopher. “Of course, there’s a spot for you.”Christopher grinned. “That’s great.”As soon as he finished speaking, Josiah urged, “Ms. Garland, we’re ready. Shall we leave?”Winnie quickly turned around and replied with “coming” before turning back to look at Christopher, uttering, “I’ll get going, then.”Christopher nodded. “See you later.”Right then, Greta walked over while dusting off the dirt on her hands, saying to Winnie, “I’ve placed some rocks under your car tire. It should be able to move later.”Winnie patted Greta on the shoulder. “Thank you so much. Tell Mason to drive carefully. Safety first.”“Don’t worry, Ms. Garland. Here. Let me open the door for you.”Winnie stopped Greta. “It’s okay. You guys should get going. Let’s not waste any time.”Hearing that, Greta quickly got into the passenger seat without any further ado.In the meantime, Winnie watched their car leave before getting into hers.Josiah, who had been waiting by the door for her, helped her to close the door.After getting into the driver’s seat, he could not help but complain, “This car is horrible on unpaved roads. See. They’re almost out of our sight.”“Just make do with it. We’re already lucky that this car isn’t broken even after that collision,” replied Winnie.As she said that, Josiah’s phone suddenly rang.He took it out and answered it as soon as he saw Xavier’s name on the screen.Once the call was connected, Xavier’s voice came through. “I found a GPS tracker in my car. I’ve gotten rid of it. Do you have one in yours? You should quickly get rid of it.”“Huh?” Josiah scanned the interior and asked with a frown, “Yours is a wired tracker, right? Was it placed in an obvious spot? I see nothing in this car except for a few decorations. I can’t find it without help from any equipment.”If there’s really a tracker in the car, that means Harold has access to our whereabouts at any time. This is bad.With that thought in mind, Winnie said to Josiah, “Focus on driving. I’ll look for it.” Josiah turned around subconsciously. “Don’t move! Can’t you see your arm is injured? You’re going to be disabled for life if you move it. Besides, it’s just a tracker. There might not be one in this lousy car. Even if there’s one, Harold might not have the guts to come after us. Moreover, it’ll take some time for them to catch up with us. We might even be on the plane by the time he’s done gathering his men to chase after us.”Xavier did not want Winnie to get hurt, either. Hence, he advised, “Don’t look for it, Winnie. Josiah’s right. Your arm is injured, so you should listen to him.”“All right. The majority wins. I shall listen to you two,” Winnie answered half-heartedly, not wanting to argue with them.Once the call ended, she began searching around the car.It did not take long for her to find a magnetic tracker under her seat.She pulled it out in a flash and said to Josiah, “I found it!”Josiah
