Upon hearing Lena’s question, Lucas shook his head while driving. “I won’t do anything for him, of course. They had a minor internal conflict just now, and it escalated into a scuffle, so I came out.”
Lena nodded. “That sounds much more plausible. That scoundrel Tony Zander gets up to heinous misdeeds all day, so you mustn’t work for him. Evildoers will never end up well! But you must have offended him by running away just like that, right? Why don’t I put in a good word for you in front of my dad and ask him to help you?”
Lena raised her chin arrogantly, as if to say, ‘Quick, come beg me, and I’ll help you talk to my dad’. She should have looked obnoxious, but she surprisingly didn’t seem detestable when doing this. Lucas just found her eccentric.
Lucas thought, Ethan Sawyer and I are on much closer terms than she thinks. Why would I need her to plead for me? Besides, Tony Zander is probably dead by now. There’s no need to care about him at all.
But he naturally wouldn’t tell her about it.
“Okay, thank you for your help then,” Lucas said casually.
Lena was immediately irked again. Swinging Cheyenne’s arm, she complained, “Cheyenne, look at your husband. He’s being perfunctory again! Why is he always like this?”
Caught between laughter and tears, Cheyenne pinched Lena’s face and said jokingly, “Okay, it’s his fault. I’ll teach him a lesson when we get home later.”
“That’s more like it! Men have to be disciplined before they become good husbands! Prepare some washboards, keyboards, and stuff like that. Make him kneel on them whenever he makes a mistake!”
Cheyenne smiled. “Okay, I’ll go home and prepare them as you say!”
While they were joking, Lucas shook his head secretly. Some women are just too scary. Fortunately, Cheyenne is never like them.
As they laughed and cracked jokes, they soon arrived at the Sawyers’ villa.
Lena grabbed her purse and was about to get out of the car. But before she alighted, she turned around and cautioned, “Everything I said just now is true. Tony Zander has a horrible reputation, and he’s known to be vicious and petty. There’s almost nothing he won’t do! Since your husband offended him today, he definitely won’t let this go easily. You guys must be careful. I’ll go home and tell my dad about this so that he’ll go deal with Tony Zander. I believe he will concede for my dad’s sake.”
Cheyenne was once again touched by her.
She was about to say something when Lucas suddenly said, “You don’t have to trouble your dad for that. It’s hard to say if Tony Zander will make it past tonight. He definitely won’t come to make trouble for us.”
Lena was immediately shocked. “What do you mean he won’t make it past tonight?”
Lucas shrugged his shoulders. “Didn’t I just tell you that there was a scuffle between the managers of Little Atlantis City and Tony Zander? Tony Zander was at a disadvantage, so he probably wouldn’t win. I doubt he’ll survive for long.”
Lena was apprehensive about Lucas’s words, and she immediately had a look of bewilderment on her face.
But Tony’s underlings had always been involved with gangs, so if there was really a power struggle, Tony’s fate would be uncertain.
“Okay, anyway, just don’t be too careless the next few days. Keep your guards up. I’ll head home now!”
Then Lena opened the car door, got out of the car, and waved her hand at Cheyenne. She then walked toward the Sawyers’ villa.
Boom!
Suddenly, the roar of a vehicle engine came from near the shade of the trees, and a motorcycle suddenly dashed out from it and sped toward Lena!
While it was about to collide into Lena, the blinding headlights shone on her face, clearly revealing the look of horror on her face.
Lena knew she was in trouble and was about to run away. But when she saw the motorcycle about to hit her, her mind went blank, and she froze right on the spot, unable to move her feet!
Lena slipped into a whirlpool of thoughts while on the dangerous brink of death.
I’m still so young. I don’t want to die yet!
Who wants to kill me?!
Just when a strong feeling of despair surged in Lena’s heart, she felt someone gripping her waist tightly, and she was soon lifted into the air!
The motorcycle shuttled past her with a gust of wind that messed up her hair.
But the sound of the engine gradually faded away. And when Lena discovered that there was no pain in her body, she finally realized that the motorcycle didn’t hit her!
She didn’t die!
After the near-death experience, Lena immediately opened her eyes, only to see a handsome face in front of her.
Even after Lucas put her down on the ground, Lena still couldn’t recover from the shock and snap out of her trance.
“Lena! Are you alright?” Cheyenne scurried over, her face as pale as a sheet. While asking about her condition anxiously, she checked Lena’s body for wounds.
Only then did Lena come back to her senses and felt her rapid, chaotic heartbeat. The thought of the close shave with death just now made her break out in a cold sweat.
She had stayed abroad most of the time before, and no one knew her ident.i.ty, so she hadn’t been hara.s.sed much.
This was the first time she had been so close to death!
Besides, it happened near her home, and she reckoned that the motorcycle must have been lurking in the dark for a long time. The perpetrator was obviously after her. Given how fast the motorcycle was speeding, that person was obviously out to kill her!
Lena wiped the cold sweat on her hands and said to Cheyenne with a forced smile, “I’m alright. Fortunately, your husband saved me.”
Lucas narrowed his eyes as he looked in the direction the motorcycle had vanished.
He didn’t go and chase the perpetrator. After all, Cheyenne was still here, and he didn’t know if there were other killers lurking in the dark around them. He wouldn’t leave Cheyenne alone here and let her fall into a potentially dangerous situation.
Cheyenne was overwhelmed with worries. The person riding the motorcycle just now was obviously out to murder Lena, but who could it be? Who was trying to kill her best friend?
Lena soon got a grip on her emotions and calmed down. She instead even comforted Cheyenne, “Cheyenne, don’t worry. I’ll call my dad now and ask him to check on this matter.”
Then she took out her phone and called her father, Ethan. “Dad, I just encountered an intentional attack at the entrance of Pearl Lake. I’m alright. I’m not injured. But the perpetrator was riding a bike, and he had been hiding near the villa for a long time. The license plate is B12654. He fled along the lake toward the north.”
Lena managed to explain everything that happened and even comforted Ethan, rea.s.suring him that she was unharmed, within the short phone call. She even managed to remember the motorcycle’s license plate, as well as the direction it fled in. She provided all the important information and spoke with clarity.
Lucas couldn’t help but look at Lena in surprise.
