Chapter 357 Responsibility
Petrified, Aleena got up in a hurry. The bold words that she had said earlier in front of Eugene wasn’t worth a dime compared to her life. This time, she had gotten away with seconds to spare, so she didn’t look as pathetic as she did just now.
But before she could stand firmly on the ground after dodging, another car was already driving toward her. She wanted to run to the left, but noticed that there was another car driving toward her in that direction, as did the right. However, the one on the left was slightly further away, so she could avoid it after avoiding the one on the right.
But just as she was implementing her plan, another car came toward her from the side. It was coming from the spot she had just dodged from.
Her heart skipped a beat and she avoided the car in a panic, but the car on the other side was already very near her.
Aleena wanted to cry, and cry her heart out at that.
She had never experienced such a grievance in her whole life.
It was too tiring.
These 6 cars coordinated with each other seamlessly and the drivers drove their cars superbly too. It was like they didn’t realize they were trying to run down a person.
Aleena didn’t even have the time to catch her breath, let alone escape.
In less than 10 minutes, she was already reaching her limits. She gasped for breath but even though she was inhaling, her lungs were still screaming for air. Sweat was rolling down from her forehead and she was in a sorry state.
Nonetheless, she didn’t dare to slow down because it might cause her to lose her life. As the saying went, ‘when people are about to die, they are capable of unleashing limitless potential’.
Aleena swore that she had never run like this before in her whole life.
Eugene had been sitting on the chair observing her all this time. Actually, the route he designed for each car to take was fixed in a regular pattern. They wouldn’t harm her, but she definitely wouldn’t have time to rest.
He knew Aleena and Robin didn’t do this, but they were the ones who came up with the idea, and Luca had acted according to her plan.
So, she should take responsibility for it.
Besides, she had also wanted to target Olivia. The only reason she didn’t was because Luca Matthews was dead and she was afraid she would be exposed, so she didn’t.
But still, she continued scheming!
When she tried to drug Olivia at Nolan Residence, Olivia managed to turn the tables on her because of her smarts, so Aleena reaped what she sowed.
If not, Olivia would have been the one who was drugged.
That was why her life could be spared, but she must be taught a lesson!
As time passed, Aleena’s agility was greatly reduced. There were quite a few times she felt that the cars missed her by only a hair’s breadth.
She leaned against a pillar, gasping for breath. She could deal with less cars this way but she still had to keep an eye for cars coming at her from the sides.
That was the experience she gained from running away from the cars for a few rounds.
Even so, she was exhausted. Her whole body was drenched in sweat, as if she had just gotten out of a pool.
She couldn’t even breathe properly, let alone dodge.
When she saw that a car was already driving toward her, her brain instructed her body to dodge. However, her body had already reached its limits, so it didn’t move exactly as she instructed. She tripped on her own foot when she took a step, and she fell onto the ground.
She fell flat on her face.
During a time like this, a person’s instinct was to see the distance of the car from them. Aleena turned her head around abruptly and realized the car was only about two meters away from her.
Her heart felt like it had fallen into an abyss.
She raised her arm to block the blinding headlights, defeated.
It was over.
This was the end.
She waited for a while but unexpectedly, the car didn’t run into her. When Aleena moved her trembling arm away from her eyes, she saw that the car had stopped at a distance of only ten centimeters away from her.
At that moment, she was both worn out and petrified. She stayed on the ground and naturally started crying her heart out. She didn’t know whether she was crying because she was still alive, or because Eugene really hadn’t intended to kill her.
Anyway, all the cars had stopped, and everyone was looking at the poor girl crying on the floor.
