Chapter 5419
Harvey York had no choice but to get in the car.
Arlet Pagan stepped on the pedal, and the car sped off.
“Have you heard of the suspension bridge effect, Harvey?” Arlet asked with a smile on her face.
Harvey froze.
“What does that mean?”
“When two people walk on a suspension bridge, they’ll mistake their tension as feelings for one another.
“Simply put, it’s a lot easier for two people to have feelings for each other in a dire situation.
“Say, if the Ferrari loses control while driving at seventy miles per hour…
“Would you develop feelings for me before we both die?”
A stoplight was seen straight ahead.
Arlet stepped on the brakes before staring at Harvey with her eyes lit up.
Harvey felt his head aching. He was just about to say something when he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
A red dot glided past the windshield.
Harvey furiously pressed down on Arlet’s smooth thighs.
Arlet was completely shocked by the advances.
“You can’t just do that if I’m the one who confessed!”
Harvey pressed harder on Arlet’s leg. He had no time to explain.
Arlet instinctively stepped on the pedal.
The car immediately drove off.
Pffft!
Simultaneously, a bullet pierced right through the back window.
Glass shards flew all over the place.
‘A sniper?!’
Arlet instantly grasped the situation.
She realized Harvey was not taking advantage of her, but she still seemed a little disappointed.
Harvey did not give her time to process her feelings. He forced himself to the driver’s seat and quickly steered the wheel. The car spun in place before swerving to the side.
Pffft!
Another bullet pierced a van right behind the two.
The driver screamed in fear before crashing into a stoplight.
A loud bang was heard when the traffic completely stopped.
A few inspectors maintaining traffic order started questioning the situation. Some people even called for rescue using their phones. It was utter chaos.
Harvey was not relieved yet. He did not realize that he already forced himself behind Arlet.
A warm feeling could be felt in his arms.
He held onto the steering wheel as he looked around.
He saw a sniper rifle peeking out of an abandoned building.
The person with the rifle was towering while wearing a black robe.
He did not bother making himself less conspicuous, making him seem completely fearless.
It was as if he could easily take out Harvey.
‘An American?’
The thought came to Harvey’s mind.
He figured Karina Joyner was just bluffing.
She was dead set on killing him after all!
Without a second thought, Harvey quickly changed the car’s direction.
He was not at all scared of the sniper, but Arlet was also in the car with him.
Pffft!
Another bullet pierced right into the car’s tank.
The car was aflame. It was about to explode at any moment…
