The driver shouted, “Mr. Crones The tires have exploded!”
“Don’t be afraid, Wesley reassured Emelie.
He pressed her head down, preventing her from getting up. He observed the situation outside with a somber expression.
Jodie, Marcel, and the bodyguards had already gotten out of their cars. Drawing their guns and pressing their backs along Wesley’s car door, they said urgently, “Mr. Graham, it’s

However, there was more than one shooter, and they were firing at Wesley’s car from all directions.
They couldn’t remain as stationary targets, but the tires were punctured. They couldn’t get out to switch whicks either, as it would undoubtedly expose them to gunfire

Emelle’s heart pounded as her mind raced. Who sent the killers? Who was their target?
She still hadn’t headed from her last trauma. Had those four families discovered she was still alive, so they had come to finish her off?

Hearing his answer, Emelie relaxed momentarily. But the next moment, she figured out who it was. “Is it someone from the File family?
Wesley looked down at her. Perhaps due to the lighting or the angle, his eyes appeared deeper than usual. It seemed like Emmelie had guessed correctly.
He had just uttered the words, “They can attempt to take it from me.” And now, the File family has indeed taken action
Emelle made an untimely joke. “What a jins.”
Wesley had just begun to smile when the tire of the car in front of them burst after being hit by a bullet. The car skodded and veered to oneside.
The driver instinctively yanked the steering wheel hard in the opposite direction. However, the car was traveling too quickly for the driver to regain control
