Chapter 611 Derek was thrown back into the back seat. Natalie glared at him angrily and said, âYou could just climb the ladder. You wouldnât have been scolded!â
Derek had no choice but to obediently climb the ladder. Once Derek was safely rescued, Natalie finally relaxed.
Just then, a downpour began, the rain coming down in sheets from the overcast sky.
âThe weather is bizarre.â Mesue remarked sternly, âCome on, Mrs. Larson. There might be thunderstorms later.â
Natalie felt her heart constrict as she took in the scene of the raging storm and trembling rescue ladder in front of her.
With a scowl, Brandon remarked, âThere is not much time left, Natalie. The weather prediction predicts an approaching downpour. You just have three minutes before the helicopter has to leave.â
Natalie struggled to ascend the ladder. âBut, Mesue...â âForget about me. Just go!â Mesue noticed Natalie had climbed the ladder and then sighed in relief. âMrs. Larson, take care,â she urged with a smile.
Natalie had an idea out of nowhere. She realized that they were approaching a curve, which meant that someone had to stay behind to keep the vehicle under control.
With tears streaming down her face, Natalie struggled to contain her emotions as she calmly declared, âMesue, Iâll stay with you.â
She then quickly let go of the ladder and jumped back to the car.
Mesue, feeling horrified, shouted, âMrs. Larson, Iâm a professional, and Iâm confident I wonât be in any danger.â Slightly sniffling, Natalie looked at Brandon and told him, âThereâs a bend up ahead. Someone needs to control the car. Mesue wants to stay and take the wheel.â
Upon seeing Natalieâs resolute and tearful gaze, Brandon found it difficult to make a decision. It was undoubtedly nearly impossible to save both of them at the same time. However, Brandon also understood that Natalie couldnât bear to watch Mesue perish, so he had to try to rescue them both.
âTake care of yourself. Iâll handle everything else.â Brandon exchanged seats with the driver next to him and revved up the car. Working in conjunction with the other vehicle, they sandwiched the convertible in the middle, i The three cars collided with a loud, jarring noise, causing sparks to fly as the bodies of the cars were damaged. But thanks to their efforts, the speed of the convertible slowed down.
Realizing that Brandon was attempting to buy some time for them, Natalie said to Mesue frantically, âGet in the back seat first.â
âSomeone has to take the wheel!â Mesue refused to move to the back seat.
Suddenly, an idea struck Natalie. She removed her coat and handed it to Mesue and instructed, âTie it to the steering wheel. Iâll control it with my hands.â
âWill that work?â Mesue hesitated for a moment before finally tying Natalieâs coat sleeves to the steering wheel as instructed. âTry to see if you can control it.â
As soon as Natalie climbed up the ladder, she felt the power of the convertible pulling her back. She had to exert all her strength to control it.
Despite the difficulty, she gritted her teeth and insisted, âYes, I can. Come up already!â
At this point, she saw that the convertible had been badly squeezed and deformed on both sides by the other cars. This meant that there was a high risk of a car accident at any moment, and the situation was far from optimistic.
However, Brandon didnât seem to be worried about the car at all. He simply reminded Natalie, âMake it quick.â
Mesue moved from the driverâs seat to the back seat as Natalie climbed up, still managing the direction of the car. As they approached the bend, Mesue nimbly jumped up at the last second and grabbed onto the rescue ladder. Natalie quickly let go of the coat, and the helicopter successfully navigated the curve.
Just when everyone thought everything was over, the out-of-control convertible suddenly swayed and crashed into the fence!
The violent collision immediately caused a small explosion. The gasoline in the tank of the convertible leaked, coming into contact with the sparks caused by friction, and the car was instantly engulfed in flames.
The other cars from the Larson Group all retreated quickly. But since Brandonâs car was in a precarious position, he had to turn the steering wheel rapidly to avoid the sudden explosion...
With a loud noise, Brandonâs car burst through the fence and collided with a tree on the side of the road.
Natalie and Mesue had been pulled into the chopper by then. Natalie saw this as she was in the air. She screamed as Brandonâs car began to smoke!
Natalie twisted her neck to see behind her, but the chopper continued to move forward and the buildings soon prevented her from seeing Brandonâs car.
Natalieâs consciousness immediately blanked as she saw what transpired. She realized she was struggling for air. If Brandonâs car was also leaking gasoline, it could explode!

Natalie prayed that nothing bad would happen to Brandon. The only thing that she wanted to do now was to see Brandon right away.
âCan we land now?â She asked as she looked at the pilot. The pilot looked embarrassed as he replied, âThere arenât any airports around here. The roads arenât wide enough either, so landing here wonât be safe. The only place we can go to is the emergency landing site.â
âOkay. I wonât make things hard for you.â Natalie nodded and didnât say anything more.
However, she was already on the verge of breaking down. She felt as if a century had passed in the few minutes that she waited for the helicopter to land.
âLetâs go to the emergency landing site first, Mrs. Larson. Iâm sure Mr. Larson will be fine. His b*odyguards are with him, and he wonât be harmed as long as theyâre around,â Mesue said, trying to comfort Natalie. She didnât know anything else to say to make Natalie feel better.
âDonât worry, Mesue; Iâm fine. You can have a rest first.â Natalie nervously sat back in her seat after patting Mesueâs shoulder.
