Chapter 197: 178. Mr. Gu’s Endless Long Night
"Yes, sir!"
The driver was Oliver Thompson’s assistant. Although he didn’t understand why his boss suddenly stopped the car and then said to catch up with the other car, he obediently complied.
Oliver Thompson had moved from his original position in the back seat to the middle. The man’s deep eyes were locked onto the Land Rover in front through the windshield, and his usually noble and elegant face was now covered with a heavy layer of gloom. Watching the green light blinking constantly ahead, the black Land Rover sports car quickly turned right at the intersection.
With a bang, a fist slammed onto the car’s leather seat, producing a loud noise: "Are you a snail? Or am I too poor to fill the car with gasoline?!"
The driver sweated: "Sir, this is Andras City. If we are caught running a red light by traffic police, the time we waste will be even longer. So..."
"You just drive, did I ask you to deal with other matters?"
The driver’s words were abruptly interrupted by the man’s cold, icy voice. Oliver Thompson’s meaning was clear; he just needed to focus on driving. Since the boss had already said so, the driver became bolder.
The speedometer on the dashboard was constantly climbing as the car closely followed the Land Rover in front.
It seemed that they could see the woman in the back seat of the other car through the windows just two or three cars away.
"Not good, the car behind us is following us!"
The driver suddenly discovered that someone was tailing them. His heart jumped, and he stepped heavily on the accelerator, and the car speed increased instantly.
"Peter, are you saying we are being followed?"
As soon as Cathy heard the words "being followed," her heart instinctively tightened. Being married to a man like Oliver Thompson, she had experienced being followed and even kidnapped several times. So when she heard these two words, her body went into primal panic.
"Yes, judging by the experience of the driver, he doesn’t seem to be a local. But I don’t know the purpose of following us. Miss Bianca has never shown her face to the media, so I cannot think of a more reasonable reason to tail us!"
Peter Stones was one of the best drivers under Michael Gordon, so he was assigned to Cathy, transporting Bianca Aretha. His reaction and keenness were top-notch, and he quickly figured out the situation once he discovered someone was tailing them!
"Not a local?"
Cathy caught the key point in Peter’s words.
Michael Gordon and Ivy Aretha protected Bianca Aretha very well. At present, no one knows that Bianca Aretha is Michael Gordon’s daughter, and the media has not seen her appearance, so it is basically impossible for someone to tail her!
There are only her and Bianca in the car!
If they’re not tailing Bianca, are they tailing her?
Non-local?
"Oliver Thompson?"
Cathy practically screamed the name with her mouth shut. As a result of her fear, her pupils dilated to the extreme. The next moment, her trembling arm hugged Bianca, and she turned her head towards the rear window. A black Bentley was catching up to them rapidly!
As the distance got closer, the driver’s face became clearer. Michael Gordon saved Ivy Aretha and asked Oliver Thompson for Lucas Sandy’s help; she heard that Oliver Thompson had also come along. He’s been here for such a long time, yet he hasn’t left? He’s been here all this time?
She recognized the driver as Oliver Thompson’s personal assistant, and without a doubt, the person sitting in the back seat must be Oliver Thompson himself!
Cathy’s face gradually turned pale with fear. After a while, she finally spoke urgently: "Peter, shake them off, hurry!!"
Toward the end, Cathy’s voice was trembling. If she was caught by that man, she didn’t dare to imagine what he would do to her!
"Aunt Cathy, are you scared?" Bianca Aretha looked at Cathy so nervous and couldn’t help but frown. She looked back at the car catching up to them and asked, "Are the people in that car trying to bully you?"
Seeing Aunt Cathy’s trembling state made one’s heart ache!
She had never found such a pitiable fear in her mommy from infancy!
"Miss Cathy, do you know them? Are they following you? Have you offended someone?"
As Peter was speeding up the car, focusing on driving, he asked Cathy if she had offended anyone. Cathy was a nanny, so the chances of offending people were slim. After a while, he asked again, "Or did you borrow money from loan sharks? Miss Cathy, you didn’t go and borrow money at high interest rates, did you?"
Only loan sharks would do such a thing, and Peter felt that there was a possibility!
Cathy was about to cry. How could she explain such a thing? The more she explained, the more chaotic it would get. If Peter knew that her husband was tailing her, he might just stop the car and give himself up, so she couldn’t say.
"Peter, I haven’t offended anyone, nor have I borrowed money from a loan shark. So please help me. Are your driving skills good enough? Can you shake them off?"
Cathy was sweating with anxiety. She knew what Oliver Thompson was capable of, and getting rid of him would indeed be difficult. She had attempted to escape with her son many times but failed. Only by pretending to be ill in the hospital did she manage to avoid him and escape, without even taking her son. However, she was now in Andras City District, and she asked whether it was possible.
Peter, who was driving, saw Cathy’s nervous, sweating face through the rear-view mirror, and his eyebrows were tightly knitted. The speed increased again, but he did not speak.
"Aunt Cathy has taken such good care of me, and my daddy is so rich. How could Aunt Cathy possibly be involved in a loan shark?" Bianca Aretha saw Cathy looking so anxious and couldn’t help but gently pat her shoulder to comfort her, then asked Peter, "So Uncle Peter, don’t ask silly questions, just tell Aunt Cathy whether or not you can shake off the car behind us!"
Peter: "..."
But Miss Bianca made a good point. If Michael Gordon spoiled his daughter, he wouldn’t let Cathy, who took care of Miss Bianca, be poor!
It seemed he was overthinking!
"Don’t worry, Miss Bianca. This is Andras City, shaking off a car is not difficult!" In Peter’s eyes, shaking off a non-local car in Andras City was nothing difficult, "I know my territory!"
As he said this, Cathy was clearly heard breathing a sigh of relief!
"Wow, Uncle Peter, you are so handsome and domineering. When I grow up, I will definitely fall in love with you!" Bianca Aretha was glad to hear that they could shake off the car and couldn’t help but comfort Cathy. "Aunt Cathy, don’t worry, Uncle Peter said he could shake off the car!"
As Peter’s speed skyrocketed, so did the speed of the car behind them. The car nimbly threaded through the busy traffic, controlling both the speed and direction very well. Through the window, the people inside the Bentley could almost be seen.
