Chapter 483 – Grand Finale IV
Near the intersection of Wenhui Road and Fenghua Street, the Bentley slowly moved forward and finally stopped in front of a KFC.
Herry got out of the car first, then went around to the back and opened the door for Tess Baker. Once she was out of the car, he took the keys and walked over to a nearby regular Volkswagen, opened the door, and sat in the driver’s seat.
Tess Baker stood in front of the Volkswagen, half-motionless.
“Why doesn’t Grandma Master Carter get in the car?” Herry asked, rolling down the window.
“Why do we have to change cars on the way?” Tess Baker was still a little uneasy about Frank Duke and his people, “Where are you going to take me?”
“The Bentley has a GPS status on it, and we switched cars because we were afraid Master Carter would find us. mr. Duke asked me to take you directly to the airport and send you out of the country to get out of the way.” Herry patiently explained.
Tess Baker still hadn’t moved, and for some reason there was always something unsettling inside her.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
“If Grandma Master Carter is uneasy, it’s okay for you to leave on your own. But you have to be careful, there are cameras everywhere now that can capture you, you need an ID card to stay in a hotel and take the train and airplane, and swiping your credit card will have online traces, so it’s too easy for Master Carter to find you.”
“I’ve said what I had to say, good luck and goodbye!” Herry finished, rolled right up the window and ignited the car.
Seeing this, Tess Baker subconsciously knocked on the car window and said, “Wait!”
“Is there anything else you need?” Herry asked, rolling down the window.
A tangle flashed under Tess Baker’s eyes before she finally bit her lip, opened the back door, and sat right in.
She would have been skeptical if Herry had been urging her to follow him out, but he’d walked away so cleanly that she was a little less skeptical of him.
Herry didn’t say anything, just started the car, but if you looked closely, you could see the sweat on his nose.
On the way, Tess Baker kept her eyes glued to the window.
It was the route to the airfield, and yes, it should just be that she was thinking about it in a complicated way.
Duh–
Duh–
In the quiet car, the sound of a cell phone vibrating suddenly rang out.
Herry’s heart thumped as he watched Tess Baker’s every move through the rearview mirror, the tension in his eyes hidden deep.
Tess Baker glanced at the caller ID; it was Bowen Carter calling, and she picked up the phone, her finger hovering over the reject button, but never pressed it.
After a moment, she moved her finger to the right and chose to connect – she couldn’t say why she was answering his call at this point.
“Where are you?” Bowen Carter’s voice was urgent, with a hint of panic.
Tess Baker licked her somewhat dry lips, “Didn’t you ask me to go to the wedding pictures? I’m on my way, I’ll be there in a few minutes.”
“Where is Ling Ruoyun with you now?” Bowen Carter was visibly anxious and spoke much faster than usual, “He’s Frank Duke’s man, don’t trust him!”
Tess Baker didn’t turn on the outboards, but Bowen Carter’s voice could be heard loud and clear in such a quiet car.
Ling Ruoyun eyed the road in front of her, and her body, which had been sitting straight, moved a few times, as if she was a little anxious.
“Bowen Carter, stop looking for me.” Tess Baker said in a very soft voice a few moments later.
She and he should have ended a long time ago.
“Tess Baker!” you could feel Bowen Carter’s hand-wringing through the cell phone, he was no longer as calm as he used to be, “You listen to me, Frank Duke isn’t as simple as you think!”
He paused and spoke with unusual difficulty, “If you want to go, I can let you go, I can stop bothering you, but you don’t go with his people, you don’t gamble with your personal safety!”
Ling Ruoyun’s breathing slowed, and he turned his head slightly for a few moments, trying to snatch away Tess Baker’s cell phone. But thinking of Frank Duke’s warning, he only tilted his head a little to look forward again.
Tess Baker didn’t say yes right away, but she didn’t hang up either, undeniably moved by Bowen Carter’s offer.
“Tess Baker, I won’t stop you if you want to leave, and I’ll give you custody of both children! I’ll promise you anything as long as you come back now!” Bowen Carter’s voice even had a hint of begging in it.
Tess Baker is a little shaken up.
Ling Ruoyun was about to sit up as he watched the tangle under her eyes through the rearview mirror.
The light ahead was red, and he stopped the car, his ass already off the face of the chair.
“Bowen Carter, stop looking for me, that’s it.” Tess Baker finished with downcast eyes and hung up.
Bowen Carter promised her too much, but he couldn’t do it, and she was too scared of him to go back to the cage he’d made for fear she’d never get out!
Ling Ruoyun secretly sighed in relief and resumed his seat, the light was green, he started the car and went all the way forward.
The car had been heading toward the airport, but when it could see the airport, the car suddenly made a U-turn and headed in a direction that veered away from the airport.
Tess Baker’s heart stuttered and she struggled to maintain her composure, “Why aren’t you heading to the airport?”
“Mr. Duke is in a small villa nearby, he has already prepared your ticket, I’ll take you there first to get the ticket and then send you to the airport.” Ling Ruoyun said.
“Don’t bother.” Even if Frank Duke had her ID number, he couldn’t pick up the ticket without her ID.
Tess Baker was already suspicious, but continued to look as normal, “I booked my ticket on the software, so I’ll just pick it up at the airport. If I’m delayed any longer, I’m afraid Bowen Carter will come after me.”
She didn’t directly poke through Ling Ruoyun’s lies for fear of him getting annoyed.
“This car’s number is a set of license plates, Master Carter can’t chase after it, you don’t have to worry.” Ling Ruoyun said.
Tess Baker was on the verge of losing her smile, “He’s not chasing this car, he’s going straight to the airport to block me, we’d better move fast.”
“It’s okay, we’re not going to the airport in a while.” Ling Ruoyun said.
Tess Baker gulped, her voice shaking, “Why don’t you go to the airport?”
He was talking about going to the airport to take her out of the country, why is he changing his story now?
This time, Ling Ruoyun didn’t respond.
Tess Baker’s heart sank as she didn’t move to open the car door, but it had been locked at some point and wouldn’t open at all.
Reluctantly, she tried to roll down the window, but it was also locked and she tried several times to open it.
“We’ll be there soon, Grandma Master Carter might as well put in less effort.” Ling Ruoyun pushed the gas pedal to the floor with one foot, but in about five minutes, she had already seen the cluster of double-story villas in front of her.
The blood drained from Tess Baker’s face and she asked, “What do you mean?”
Ling Ruoyun was silent, just turned a corner and drove towards the small villa at the very back of the villa complex.
“Let me down!” Tess Baker staggered to her feet, bent over, leaning forward, her face pale as she went for the steering wheel.
She didn’t want to admit it, but she had to, she was being shagged by Frank Duke!
But Ling Ruoyun grasped the steering wheel gripped very steadily, her struggle just let the car turn out a small s-curve, the car soon still arrived at the destination.
In front of the red-roofed, orange-bodied cottage, the grass was green and the fountain was blooming. And Frank Duke, dressed in a dark blue suit, is standing by the fountain with a smile on his face, looking at the car that just drove up.
Ling Ruoyun got out of the car and brought Tess Baker in front of Frank Duke.
