The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 712 An Elaborate Scheme

Meanwhile, a crowd was gathering on the street, including the two car owners who had been arguing just a short while ago.

“How are the people inside? Can they hear us talking?” one asked.

“The driver who caused the accident is utterly despicable. They actually did a hit- and–run! Forget about taking responsibility, he didn’t even bother to check on the situation,” another commented.

“Let’s not talk about that and call the police already.”

When Lysander heard them talking, a glimmer of hope sparked within her. She interjected anxiously, “I… I have children in my car. Can you rescue them first…”

Josiah’s whereabouts are still a mystery, and the driver who caused the accident has fled the scene. It’s hard to rule out the possibility that Tiffany, fearing her hostage would disobey, colluded with those who want to destabilize Guerra Group to intimidate me. Rushing to call the police at this point will only complicate matters further and work against our favor.

The passersby were very understanding, and someone immediately responded, “All right. We’ll think of something right away. Don’t worry.”

“Thank you, everyone!” Even as Lysander spoke, she did not just sit back and wait for others to rescue her. Instead, she exerted all her strength in an attempt to pry open the car door that had twisted out of shape from the collision.

The van had come prepared, deliberately targeting the unoccupied passenger seat. No one was seriously hurt, but there was a deep dent in the car door.

They were sending a warning that if Lysander continued meddling in the affairs, there was no telling what might happen next time.

The passersby who came to their aid were all eager to help. Several people tried to pry open the car door for a while, but when they saw it would not budge, they decided to fetch some tools. Working together, it took them some time to finally crack open a small gap.

Upon seeing that, Lysander gently nudged Nilou. “Among us, you’re the slimmest and most nimble. You should go first.”
