Chapter 497: Chapter 497: If We Were Forever Apart
Summer Sutton’s heart instantly sank to the bottom.
However, there was not a trace of panic on her face.
Composing her expression, she secretly dialed the emergency number.
"Where are you taking me?" She glanced at the driver in front and tried to ask.
The driver still ignored her.
"Stop the car! I’ll get off here!" Summer Sutton tapped the car door loudly.
Her phone was in the call state, so whatever happened on her end could be directly transmitted to the police through sound.
The driver, probably afraid she would cause trouble, glanced at her and stopped the car. As he leaned over to try to stop her, he caught sight of Summer Sutton’s phone.
The screen of Summer Sutton’s phone was still lit, still on a call.
"You called the police?" The man’s gaze suddenly turned vicious.
Summer Sutton ignored him and continued tapping at the car door.
Before she could open it, the man in front suddenly snatched her phone and tossed it out the window, hitting the accelerator, and the taxi rushed down the road like a gust of wind.
Probably afraid the police would come, he drove very fast, made a round through the suburbs, and headed directly to an isolated seaside.
Having lost her means of communication, Summer Sutton was momentarily at a loss for what to do.
When she saw the sea, her mind was a mess, not knowing what she was about to face, and all sorts of thoughts swirled in her head.
The thing she thought about most was not whether she would die, but about Adrian Walyon.
If he knew something happened to her, he would be very worried, wouldn’t he?
One year of separation had already been the maximum he could bear. If they were to be permanently apart, never to meet again, he would probably break down, wouldn’t he?
If something happened to her today and she could never return to his side, how lonely would he be for the decades to come?
Would he forget her and start anew?
The man kept driving, aiming straight for the sea; it seemed like he was planning to drive the car into the water.
Summer Sutton looked at the path ending ahead, her face instantly turning deathly pale.
At this moment, she was utterly desperate, but her rationality remained.
Before the man could make an impulsive move, she tried negotiating with him.
"I know you’re just following orders."
The man continued driving, ignoring her.
"How much did they give you? Let me go, and I’ll pay you double. How about that?" Summer Sutton suggested.
She could actually guess who might have orchestrated today’s event, but wisely, she didn’t say it out loud.
What if the person intended to silence her once she spoke out?
Having no other method, she could only negotiate with the driver, tempting him with money.
"We have no personal grudge. I know you didn’t genuinely want to harm me. By letting me go and getting paid, wouldn’t you be happy?" Summer Sutton cautiously watched him, continuing her temptation.
"But you called the police!" The man shouted at her angrily.
"But even if something happens to me, you might still be found. Conversely, if nothing happens to me, your charge would be much lighter." Summer Sutton reminded him, "Besides, even if the police investigate, the primary culprit bears the heaviest punishment."
He seemed to hesitate after her words.
Summer Sutton seized the opportunity to continue persuading him, "I don’t know your identity. Even if you let me go, I can’t provide more information to the police, can I?"
The man remained silent.
With no other options left, Summer Sutton suddenly remembered something Adrian Walyon had said before.
If you run into trouble, just mention his name.
