Chapter 53 If You Dare Touch Me Again, We'll Both Go Down
"Miss Clara, don't be nervous," Jasper said, keeping a distance from her. "I'm taking you home."
Clara Bennett turned to look outside. This was not the way home!
In fact, Jasper was well aware of Thomas Sun and Jason Ford's scheme. As soon as the car left the hotel, he had to put on a show and couldn't take Clara straight home, so he took a longer route.
But Clara didn't know that!
Her expression grew even more alert, her body trembling slightly.
She had already unzipped her bag and was gripping the strap tightly.
At that moment, images of self-defense techniques she had seen before flashed through her mind. She calmed herself and thought carefully. In this cramped space, there were three people including the driver, and the other two were strong men.
She couldn't confront them directly.
But she was sitting right behind the driver...
She bit her lip, her large, cold eyes fixed on Jasper's next move.
...
Mason Reed walked out of the club and finally turned on his phone.
Frederick whispered in his ear, "To avoid alerting your uncle, I must return to Central City tonight. Sir, you..."
"You go and do what you need to," Mason said, narrowing his eyes. "Just act as if nothing happened."
Frederick nodded, looked around cautiously, and then disappeared into the night.
Mason took out the documents Frederick had shown him earlier, tore them into pieces, and threw them into a nearby trash can.
They were records of Vincent Harrington's questionable financial dealings at the Harrington Group over the years.
But such things had to be destroyed after being seen, leaving no trace.
Mason took a deep breath and was about to head home when he suddenly felt his phone vibrating repeatedly in his pocket. He took it out and saw a message from a stranger named Anna.
That was the name of Clara's colleague.
He scrolled down and saw several messages from Clara...
Mason's face darkened instantly, a cold light flashing in his eyes as he quickly opened the tracking system to find Clara's location.
...
"Miss Clara, you really don't need to be afraid! I'm not a bad person!" Jasper waved his hands vigorously, his face turning red with urgency.
He finally understood what it felt like to be on a hot stove.
He just wanted to take Clara home safely! But this girl looked at him as if he were her enemy, her whole body bristling with tension as she stared at him, her face full of alertness and suspicion.
"Don't come any closer!" Clara screamed.
Jasper was scared out of his wits, sobering up considerably.
He hadn't intended to get closer; she was the one pressing herself against the car door! Thankfully, Third Master wasn't here. If he had heard that scream, Jasper wasn't sure he'd see the sunrise.
"Miss Clara, please... please don't be alarmed," Jasper stammered, forcing a smile. "I wouldn't dare come near you. You, you can move over a bit, and I'll stay against the door, okay? This isn't safe for you..."
As he spoke, he shouted at the driver, "Can't you drive slower!"
The driver was startled and, in his nervousness, stepped on the gas!
The car suddenly accelerated, and Clara lost her balance, falling onto Jasper.
Jasper was horrified and immediately raised his hands. "Ah! I didn't touch you... I didn't touch you! Don't tell your husband anything!"
But Clara was also in a state of shock, recalling the information she had researched about Jasper.
A rich playboy, known for his numerous romantic liaisons from Central City to Paris...
He had certainly indulged in many one-night stands!
So, he had deliberately told the driver to slow down, but it was actually a signal to speed up!
"Get away from me!" Clara pushed him hard.
"Jasper, if you dare touch me again, we'll both go down!"
The ferocity in her eyes sent chills down Jasper's spine. He cowered to the side, not daring to make a sound, trying his best to keep the maximum distance from Clara, but he hadn't expected...
The girl suddenly sprang up from her seat!
Her movements were quick and fierce, and she immediately used the bag strap to choke the driver! The driver was shocked and struggled to control the steering wheel, causing the car to swerve wildly, the tires screeching against the road.
"Clara, let go! Are you trying to kill us!" Jasper tried to pull her away, but she kicked him hard in the knee.
The driver's face turned purple as he was being choked, and the car shook violently.
Clara fought to stay conscious, her hands trembling as she finally reached the door handle next to the driver's seat.
"Ah—" Jasper screamed, rushing to grab the steering wheel.
Just as the car was about to crash into a large tree on the side of the road, Clara opened the door and jumped out...
With a loud crash, the car slammed into the tree.
After an unknown amount of time, Jasper and the driver helped each other out of the car. Both were disheveled but had not been seriously injured thanks to the airbags.
But Clara was not so lucky.
When Jasper saw Clara lying motionless on the side of the road, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
"Quick... call an ambulance! Call the police!"
Jasper took out his phone, the tall man crying like a child, unable to speak clearly.
"Hello, Chase, I'm done for... car accident, Clara is dead, I've killed Clara..."
"Third Master will kill me, he'll definitely kill me!"
