bChapter 574 /b

    Ariel’s brain stopped working at that moment. There was a loud ringing in her ears. She felt as though the blood in her veins had gone cold.

    Ariel stood rooted to the spot. She couldn’t even lift her foot. (1)

    She couldn’t see the car clearly either. Everything was quickly turning white before her eyes.

    Ariel subconsciously held her breath.

    Just then, a Rolls–Royce Cullinan came speeding this way from a certain direction. The car swerved and drove toward the ck car at high speed.

    With a loud crash, the car speeding toward Ariel was sent flying several yards away.

    The night breeze swept through Ariel and ruffled her hair.

    There was another sound of brakes screeching.

    Ariel had yet recovered from the shock and horror when someone came up from behind her and carried

    her in their arms.

    As she was held in a tight embrace, the faint, familiar scent of fir invaded Ariel’s senses. She was carried

    into another car.

    Ariel lifted her gaze and saw Jayson’s deep–set eyes.

    For a split second, Jayson didn’t try to hide his emotions. He looked a lot less distant and unfazed when Ariel looked his way.

    “Don’t look outside.” Jayson didn’t let go of Ariel. He circled his arms around her waist. As he looked out the windowb, /bJayson bent forward and put one hand on the back of Ariel’s head to pull her closer toward

    him.

    Ariel couldn’t see a thing since Jayson had held her tightly in his arms.

    However, she sensed the car shaking.

    It seemed like something had crashed into the car they were in. Ariel’s heart missed a beat as she felt the strong impact.

    Jayson mmed his arm against the dashboard as he was trying to protect Ariel’s neck.

    In the darknessb, /ba small frown creased his forehead. However, that happened for just a brief moment. After that, Jayson appeared like his usual self.

    It was suddenly quiet outside.

    “It’s not really safe around this area for the time being. Would you like toe somewhere with

    thoughts werepletely jumbled at that moment. She couldn’t imagine someone would actually all T enough to do something like that at a ce like this.

    uldn’t have mistaken it. That car was heading her way, and it nearly ran her over.

    Nancy had been waiting at Goldsbury Bay for almost an hour. She was feeling restless. There was an obstinate look bin /bher eyes as she stared into the distance

    Nancy had asked Jayson to meet her. However, she didn’t tell him about her ns to leave the country.

    She couldn’t give up just yet. They had spent such a long time together. She simply couldn’t believe that Jayson had no feelings or sympathy for her at all

    Before leaving the country, Nancy wanted to see Jayson one more time.

    She knew very well that doing this was risky. However, she wouldn’t be able to get over it if she were to leave without doing this first.

    Anyway, Jayson had no idea that she would be leaving the country soon. Nancy wanted to take onest

    Just then, two cars pulled up.

    Nancy shot to her feet when she noticed the familiar car te numbers. Her eyes brightened. The look on her face said, “I knew you’de.”

    Jayson got out of the car.

    Nancy could feel her resentment dissipating a little. She was about to step forward when she saw Jayson turning around and opening the car door.

    Nancy’s face darkened the instant she saw Ariel getting out of the car. She subconsciously backed away,

    shocked.

    However, Arthur had appeared out of nowhere and stood behind her.
