Wooing My Ex-Wife

Seeing the situation, Cedrick gave Swain a look. Understanding immediately. Swain took Megan and left.

The area around Quawak was likely swarming with Joe’s men. If they appeared, they would be exposed to these men.

Thus, Cedrick wanted Swain to bring Megan over first, while he monitored from a distance.

Cedrick had already arranged with the police force in Quawak, who were ready to respond to his commands at any moment.

The sky began to rain, making the journey back to the mountain difficult as the path became muddy all the way.

Cedrick personally drove, following Swain from a distance. To avoid drawing too much attention, he specifically chose a common Volkswagen car that he rarely used.

Megan sat in the armored vehicle, watching as they entered Quawak. They would soon be traveling on mountain roads, and she was incredibly nervous. She asked, somewhat uncertainly, “Um… You will ensure my safety, right? If there’s any danger, you’ll prioritize protecting me, won’t you?”

The response from Swain was, “As long as you stay within our sight, we will ensure your safety.”

The road here was already a winding mountain path, and the rain had made the surface of the road extremely slippery. A single careless move could send the car tumbling down the mountainside. He had to be completely alert.

Even with his answer, Megan was still terrified to the core. She couldn’t help but tremble, her hands and feet shaking uncontrollably as she continually swallowed her saliva.

She felt she hadn’t lived enough in this lifetime and certainly didn’t want to die in such an unclear and unjust way, falling victim to someone else’s schemes and plots.

Upon reaching the road at the foot of the mountain, the silence was profound, and not a single street light could be found.

The car soon came to a halt. Arrangements were made for his men to quietly take their positions, laying in ambush around Megan’s house.

After navigating the winding mountain road, Swain followed Megan into the house. Megan trembled as she opened the door.

Before she even had the chance to turn on the lights in the room, a dagger, gleaming coldly, was thrust toward her.

“Hide!”

Swain pressed the alarm connected to Cedrick, immediately pulled Megan away, and started fighting with the individual in the house.

Watching the rapidly flashing red dot on his phone, Cedrick immediately got out of the car and took a shortcut up the mountain.

There were already not just one but many people lying in wait inside the house. They all had guns in their hands.
