“Zak will drive you
ou to Wavecrest. If you keep this up, I won’t hesitate to remove your protection and leave you to fend for yourself,” he said.
“Cameron, how can you be so heartless? Callie cried out.
Cameron, however, ignored her.
If nothing unexpected happened, this would be the last time he ever saw Callie.
“Do me one last favor. After this, we’ll finally be even,” Callie said
“What is it?” Ca
Cameron asked.
“Withdraw my money from Borealis,” she replied.
“I’ll have Zak handle it. Cameron responded, turning away and walking off.
Callie didn’t chase after him.
Once she got the money from Borealis, her life would be set
Cameron didn’t matter to her anymore.
ney, she could have any man she wanted.
With money,
Glancing at her wristwatch, a sly grin spread across her face.
She wanted to see just how much Cameron loved Yanina. If Yanina were to die, would he ever marry again?
At the Watson residence, Yanina entered through the front door accompanied by Zoe and Yosef.
Jasmine’s face lit up with joy at the sight of Yanina, eagerly fussing over her.
Noticing Jasmine’s rosy complexion and cheerful spirit, Yanina could tell she had been recovering well.
She made a few adjustments to Jasmine’s medicine, left behind some dietary suggestions, and was about to leave.
“Yani, don’t go! Can’t you stay the night? You never tell me stories. Stay and tell me one, please?” Jasmine pleaded, clinging to
Yanina’s arm.
“I have to go out tomorrow, but when I get back, I promise to tell you a story. How about that, Jess? Zoe gently pulled Jasmine away, smiling as she spoke.
Jasmine obediently nodded.
Zoe lovingly patted Jasmine’s head. “She’s so attached to you. It’s like she’s known you for ages.”
Yanina smiled and ruffled Jasmine’s hair. “I’ll bring you some treats next time I visit.”
Yanina then turned to leave the Watson residence.
Yosef arranged for his personal driver, Logan, to take her back. Minina didn’t refuse.
The journey from the Watson residence to Yanina’s home at Purpleud Mansion wasn’t far, but it required driving along a

coastal highway.
Logan, in his forties and an experienced driver, drove smoothly
But as they turned a corner, Logan noticed something strange. Avan seemed to be following them.
He frowned. “Ms. Fulbright, I’ll speed up a bit. Please fasten your seatbelt. I have a feeling someone’s tailing us.”
Yanina glanced at the van through the rearview mirror.
un
Soon, the van sped up and positioned itself alongside their car, keeping pace.
Suddenly. Yanina was blinded by a flash of bright light.
A large truck was barreling toward them, high beams on full blast
The truck was intentionally trying to blind them.
Yanina instinctively closed her eyes.
“Watch out!” Logan shouted, followed by the deafening sound of screeching brakes,
Crash!
All three vehicles collided. The two vans were clearly modified, with reinforced bodies and high–friction tires. After flying several miles, their speed gradually decreased
Yanina’s car was violently flung into the air upon impact.
She curled up, hugging her head, but the force of the crash hurled her forward. The seatbelt dug painfully into her neck, nearly choking her.
The car spun around several times before it began sliding downward, finally coming to a halt after what felt like an eternity,
Logan was panting heavily, his voice trembling as he asked, “Ms, Fulbright, are you okay? Are you hurt?”
Yanina only felt a stinging sensation in her calf and arm, and her neck throbbed painfully where the seatbelt had constricted- her. Aside from that, she seemed fine.
“I’m okay, how about you? Are you alright?” she asked, her voice filled with concern.
Tm good. Though I gotta say, swallowing glass doesn’t taste great Logan joked, trying to lighten the mood.
Yanina let out a relieved sigh, close call, but they were safe.
As her mind cleared, a chilling realization dawned on her. Someone was trying to kill her.
From the van that had followed them, to the truck’s blinding high beams, and the narrow, unavoidable stretch of road.
It all pointed to a meticulously planned attack.
“Who’s trying to kill me? Christina? Callie? she wondered.
“Ms. Fulbright?” Logan’s voice snapped her out of her thoughts as he called her name repeatedly.
“Ms. Fulbright, there’s a light up ahead. Looks like someone noticed us and is coming our way,” Logan said, pointing toward the faint glow in the distance.
Yanina followed his gesture and saw several people approaching their flashlights bobbing in the darkness.

It had to be the bodyguards Cameron had sent to protect her.
The guards had spotted Yanina’s car, but it had slid too far down the mountainside for them to reach it easily.
But the car had slid into the middle of the mountain road, and they couldn’t get down.
“Ms. Fulbright, are you alright?” one of the guards called down.
Tm fine, but we need you to help get us back up.” Yanina replied
Using all her strength, she managed to push open the car door. Despite the severe crash, the Volvo’s sturdy frame had held up well. Although the car had been battered, it hadn’t been completely crushed.
Still, after such a jarring impact, Yanina’s legs felt weak.
Logan, an experienced driver who had been through many accidents, remained calm and collected.
As Yanina stepped out of the car, she sniffed the air and frowned Logan, do you smell gasoline?”
Logan inhaled deeply. The car’s leaking fuel. We need to move fast. It’s summer, the weather’s hot, and gasoline ignites easily, Let’s get out of here.”
The night was dark, and the hillside was covered in tall, overgrown weeds. Yanina could feel the sharp blades scratching her legs as they climbed.
Logan positioned himself behind her, ready to shield her in case the fuel ignited.
Soon, the bodyguards above lowered a rope. Yanina grabbed it, and with the added support, she managed to scramble up
much faster.
By the time she and Logan reached the road, they were both gasping for breath.
“Ms. Fulbright, the truck got away, but we’ve apprehended the men in the van. Mr. Zamora and Zak are on their way,” one of the guards explained.
No matter the cause, Vanina’s life had been in danger, and they hadn’t been able to prevent it. It was a failure on their part
“This wasn’t your fault, Yanina reassured them. “It all happened so fast. There was no time to react.” She gestured to Logan, addressing the guard. “Logan’s actions saved us.”
Just then, another car pulled up, and the driver hurried over to open the door. “We’ll take Ms. Fulbright from here, he said.
Yanina was taken aback. “Wait… are these two groups not working together? Is someone else protecting me besides Cameron? Carl, maybe? she wondered
Before she could process the thought, another pair of headlights appeared in the distance, getting closer.
Cameron’s car came to a stop, and he and Zak quickly got out.
The moment Cameron saw Yanina, he rushed over and wrapped her tightly in his arms.
