The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride (Ethan and Janet) novel Chapter 1012

"Derek is in my car..." As Janet was about to explain, the car suddenly sped up. Derek's body rocked back and he pounced on Janet.

"Hey!" Janet said as she pushed Derek away with icy eyes. "Don't you understand English? I told you to behave yourself!"

"Look, I didn't mean it!" Derek was pushed to a corner. Groaning, he said, "How could you blame me? The car suddenly sped up. I didn't mean to take advantage of you!"

Janet rolled her eyes at Derek, and then looked at Mesue.

Instinctively, she turned her head only to find a few cars behind them. Were those cars pursuing us?

Looking worried, Mesue tried to control the direction of the car. "No, I just wanted to put the brakes on, but I realized something was wrong with the car and I couldn't stop it at all."

"Are you kidding me?" Derek got thoughtful. In a shaky voice, he asked. "Are you trying to force me out of the car like that? Don't think I'll be fooled!"

"Don't talk nonsense," Janet said seriously. "We're not that stupid. We won't risk our own lives just to drive you out of the car."

She paused for a few seconds to think and came to an appalling conclusion. "Someone must have tampered with the car. Mesue, did you notice anything unusual? Did something happen when you went to get the car?"

It would normally take Mesue a few minutes to collect the car. Yet, Janet waited for Mesue to come back longer than usual. It was clear that something had occurred.

Janet believed him.

Even though her voice quivered in the wind, her tone was particularly firm. "Okay, I'll do my best to buy some more time."

Derek gave Janet a silent look. She seemed fragile and frightened when she talked to Brandon. The moment she hung up the phone, her gaze hardened. Her tone was firm, and her eyes were clear. "Nothing will happen to us, so don't worry.

Derek narrowed his eyes and a surge of anger rose in his chest. He clicked his tongue in displeasure and said, "You are being too arrogant, aren't you?" How could you expect a mere phone call to set me at ease? I don't believe that Brandon can really find a way to save us!"
