Chapter 570: Chapter 586: Engagement Banquet Without a Female Lead (9)

Percy Stanton’s expression was serious and gloomy; his eyes shifted slightly, and he unconsciously stepped on the gas pedal beneath his feet, speeding up the car to its fastest, driving straight ahead on the road.

Just as his car passed, a white car sped past Percy’s car at an incredibly fast speed.

That dangerous scene filled Percy’s entire body with vigilance; he stomped hard on the brakes and swiftly turned the steering wheel to the right, twisting the car to a stop at the roadside.

As the car was forced to stop at such high speed, it made a harsh friction sound with the ground.

Isabel Smith was thrown directly into Percy’s arms.

"Isabel?" Percy regained his senses first, immediately supporting Isabel and looking at her with urgency, "Are you alright?"

Isabel looked around and discovered she was fine, so she tried hard to calm herself down, shook her head at Percy, and said, "I’m fine."

Percy still seemed a little worried as he carefully checked Isabel from head to toe, making sure she hadn’t been injured anywhere. Then he turned his head to look at the vehicle that had long disappeared, muttered a curse under his breath, restarted the engine, turned the steering wheel, and returned to the road.

Isabel sat in the passenger seat for a while before she completely came to her senses. She raised her hand to feel her rapidly beating heart, swallowed her saliva, and said with lingering fear, "That was so close just now, just a little bit more and we would have crashed. Luckily, you reacted quickly."

"Didn’t scare you, did it?" Percy turned his head and took a glance at Isabel.

"No," Isabel Smith forced a smile, shook her head again, and muttered, "I can’t understand who the driver of that car is, driving at such high speeds in the city. Could they be drunk?"

"Maybe," Percy’s tone was somewhat perfunctory as he answered. He stared straight ahead at the road with a sense of vigilance in his heart.

The scene just now didn’t seem like a simple traffic accident; the speed and direction of that car were clearly aimed at his car; he thought...it seemed more like an attempted murder.

Percy’s face suddenly turned cold; he glanced in the rearview mirror and saw Isabel’s relieved expression after the near-death experience. His lips moved slightly as he swallowed the doubts in his heart.

...

During the trip to the police station, Isabel Smith and Percy crossed the path of rush-hour traffic. The road was somewhat congested with vehicles, and coupled with the near-accident halfway through, Percy drove very steadily. Therefore, it took an hour to reach the police station.

The police station was built alongside the street and had no parking lot. Percy just found a spot by the road and parked casually.

Before the car came to a complete stop, Isabel opened the car door and hurriedly got out. She ran all the way to the main entrance of the police station.

Percy locked the car unhurriedly, got out, and caught up with her.

It was dinner time, and many people in the police station had gone to eat. Only two people were on duty, huddling around the computer watching the news. Coincidentally, the news they were watching was about the recent reveal of the mysterious CEO of Thompson Empire Group.

That man in the news was also named Percy Stanton, and the two people were discussing in a whisper how this boy’s father had the same name. As they spoke, the police station door was pushed open, and a frantic female voice shouted, "Raymond!"

The two police officers who were talking about the name coincidence looked up and saw a beautiful and young woman running in through the door, followed by a man.

That man had an astonishing appearance, with exquisite features like a painting, and looked extremely familiar, as if they had just seen him not long ago...
