Chapter 1520 Determined To Stay Alive
‘‘Sit tight, Sannie!’‘ After advising her abruptly, Vinson sped off at full speed and made a sharp turning. Meanwhile, a bullet scraped past the car window.
Arielle kept her guard up instantly. Who’s attacking us?
At that moment, the assassin lay in ambush along the highway. He narrowed his eyes and waited patiently for his prey.
When Arielle’s car passed him by, the assassin aimed his weapons at her and pulled the trigger without any hesitation.
Sensing the danger around her, Arielle quickly lowered her head. Fortunately, she managed to dodge another bullet. It penetrated the side window and shot a hole through the windscreen. The ruthlessness in Vinson’s eyes deepened. He glared at the road ahead, not wanting to make the slightest mistake.
Arielle curled her body up and reached for her phone to make a call.
Meanwhile, Dylan was in his bedroom when the name appearing on the phone screen put a wide smile on his face. He picked it up at once and was shocked by an anxious voice. ‘‘Dad, we’re being targeted by an assassin…’‘
Arielle explained her situation to Dylan as fast as she could. Upon hearing that there were many armed killers attacking them, his face drained of all colors. ‘‘Got it. I’ll send someone to your rescue now,’‘ he said solemnly.
After hanging up, Dylan assigned two troupes of soldiers to protect Arielle and Vinson. Subsequently, he also contacted his former subordinates to provide assistance to Arielle.
Feeling unsettled and worried, Dylan called Aaron.
‘‘Ensure their safety at all costs,’‘ he commanded gravely.
When Aaron heard about the attack, he was quite flustered. However, when he realized how concerned his father was about Vinson, he was displeased. Vinson is just a bodyguard. So what if he’s shot by the assassin for protecting Arielle? That’s his duty. Why must I guarantee his safety too?
‘‘Dad, I can only watch out for Arielle and make sure that she’s safe and sound. As for that bodyguard… His life and death are none of my business,’‘ Aaron stated firmly.
‘‘Aaron!’‘ Dylan called out.
Throughout their days in Turlen, Dylan could tell that Arielle and Vinson shared a very strong bond despite them trying very hard to hide it.
If anything untoward happens to Vinson, wouldn’t my daughter become a widow at such a young age? This won’t do. Vinson must be kept alive by all means!
‘‘This is an order, Aaron. You must obey me and do as I say.’‘ Dylan left no room for negotiation.
Upon hanging up the phone, Aaron undid his necktie and cursed out loud, ‘‘D*mn it!’‘
In the blink of an eye, Aaron had made all necessary arrangements for his people to rescue Arielle. Overwhelmed with worries, he then dashed to the garage and drove a car out.
Within moments, Arielle’s car had been riddled with bullet holes. The outcome would have been totally different had luck not been on their side. They would probably have been shot umpteen times. At that critical juncture, both of them had no time to think about anything else apart from how to secure their own lives.
‘‘Southeast direction. Dodge!’‘ Arielle reminded Vinson when she saw a gun aiming at them from afar. She had to be alert enough to notice what the bandits were up to and get ahead of them. Following her cue, Vinson steered the wheel in the opposite direction.
The assassin saw that they went a different way and accelerated his car to trail behind Arielle and Vinson. He grimaced at the leftover bullets, knowing that he could not afford to make any more mistakes.
Soon, the assassin managed to catch up with Vinson’s car side by side. The former aimed his weapon and fired several times at the front passenger seat.
‘‘Sannie!’‘ Vinson’s eyes reddened as he cried out for Arielle.
