Simon Howard glanced at the GPS, and a smile quickly flashed across his face, “The navigation shows a rear-end collision up ahead.”
Adam Howard drove slowly and saw that the lane to their left had come to a complete halt.
With a smirk, Adam glared provocatively at the driver of that vehicle and mumbled to himself, “You wouldn’t let me overtake, but now, I’ve managed to get ahead of you. You can’t keep up with the truck anymore, and you can’t protect it either.”
Daniel Marshall looked out and caught the bitter gaze of the person in the passenger seat of the other car. They seemed rather frustrated.
Daniel was certain, his suspicions were correct, someone was trying to sabotage him with underhanded tactics again.
Seeing an opportunity, Adam quickly maneuvered into the fast lane, no longer trailing behind the truck.
Due to the traffic jam in the slow lane, the car in front of their Rolls-Royce had no choice but to move forward, with Adam closely following behind.
Unexpectedly, the traffic in the truck’s lane came to a sudden halt, allowing them to overtake.
Daniel’s cold, deep eyes were as sharp as blades. His resolute face was eerily calm, “This was a premeditated act, every step designed to trap me.”
Simon’s fury was evident on his face as he harshly cursed, “I want to kill that bastard Thompson!”
Daniel’s sensual lips pursed slightly, emanating an air of inscrutability, “Simon, calm down! We don’t have any evidence for this. Any careless action might tip them off.”
While driving, Adam said, “Anyone with half a brain would suspect that this is Thompson’s doing. It’s too obvious. I figured anyone who’d want to harm someone else would be more discreet about it. They wouldn’t want suspicions to fall back on themselves. Moreover, they could pass the blame onto someone else.”
A faint smile appeared across Daniel’s sensual lips, “Adam, it seems you have indeed learned a lot after all these years with me.”
The smile on Adam’s face deepened as he modestly replied, “You flatter me. I just feel that this matter isn’t as simple as it seems. It appears that many people are jealous of you, or they hate you enough to want you dead.”
“If they want my life, let’s see if they’re capable enough!” Daniel’s voice, cold and hard, burst forth from between gritted teeth, radiating an intimidating aura.”
A hint of worry flashed across Simon’s eyes, “We should be extra careful. We are out in the open while they lurk in the dark, and it’s not always possible to guard against surprise attacks.”
Daniel furrowed his brows, “Adam, once we get back to Serene City, do a thorough background check on the executive office staff. Notify HR to prepare new resumes. I want to replace everyone.”
