Julianne remained in her car. She watched as I slid down the slope and attempted to save the people in the car.

When she saw how dire the situation was, her eyes narrowed with glee. A cruel gleam flashed through her gaze as she began imagining how the current situation would play out.
It was a cold winter night, and I was trying to save the people in the wreckage. However, I wasn’t able to because I lacked the strength. Not only that, if the car exploded, I would perish as well.
To her, it would be the perfect, most seamless accidental death in the world!
Julianne wanted me dead very badly. Hence, her first thought upon seeing such a situation was to imagine how I would die. She was happy because she wouldn’t have to get involved.
Not only that, but she also thought about how it wouldn’t matter if she couldn’t be with Irvin once I was dead. With me gone, she would be the only and most important woman in his heart.
With a cruel smile, she opened her car door and got out.
The first thing she did was check her surroundings. She wanted to ensure there weren’t any surveillance cameras in the area. As it was a cold winter night, there weren’t any passersby either.
This reaffirmed her belief about how perfect this opportunity was.
Julianne clutched her purse tightly as she approached me, moving swiftly and quietly.
As she got closer, she could see the fuel steadily leaking from the flipped car. This made her even more delighted. To her, it seemed everything was effortlessly falling into place.
All she needed to do now was knock me unconscious. Once she did, she would quickly flee from the scene. This way, I would surely die without anyone noticing.
Plus, my death also wouldn’t be traced back to her, which meant she would be able to live a carefree life in the future.
She moved even more carefully toward me with this in mind. Eventually, she reached the site where the car had flipped over and prepared to slide down the slope.
Just as she was about to do so cautiously, a black Bentley suddenly stopped beside her. Before she could react, a tall man hurriedly stepped out from it.
Her blood instantly drained from her face when she saw it was Irvin.
Irvin’s brow furrowed. “Lianne? What are you doing here?” he asked.
She was too stunned to answer and couldn’t come up with a response, not that it mattered.
Irvin had spotted me below. He also saw the fuel leaking from the car. Seeing this, he didn’t wait to hear Julianne’s response. He urgently instructed her to stay put and away from the danger below. Then, he rushed toward me.
Julianne watched his back as he ran toward me. Her hands clenched into tight fists. She was seething with hatred, so much so
that she could die from it.
She didn’t understand how it was possible. How could I possibly be so lucky?
She had been so close to killing me,
and yet…
I was completely unaware that I had narrowly escaped death.
All my focus was entirely on the heavily pregnant woman in the car. I was trying to figure out how to break the window without injuring her in the process. As such, I had no clue what had happened above me.

I also didn’t hear the footsteps heading toward me.
After smashing the window, I opened the door. I tried to drag the pregnant woman out, but I couldn’t get her to budge. Just as I was struggling, a pair of strong hands suddenly gripped her arms. The hands appeared to belong to a man. I hadn’t been able to move her despite using all of my strength. Yet, the man was able to do so with ease.
I looked up and was about to speak. That was until I saw his furious yet handsome face.
“What are you doing, Emilia? Don’t you know how dangerous this is? ” Irvin shouted.
I was stunned. Never would I have expected to see him.
Before I could respond, I heard a smacking sound against the rear window. I turned toward it and my stomach dropped.
There was a child in the back seat!
Without wasting any time, I grabbed the brick again and started smashing it against the window.
Irvin knew this wasn’t the time for words. Thus, he carried the pregnant woman and briskly walked toward a safe area.
The child in the back seat appeared to be around five or six years old. He was relatively unhurt and was fully conscious. Hence, it was easier to get him out.
