âOkay,â Rosalynn agreed.
A woman as vicious as Ivy deserved to be punished.
Brian fell silent for a moment.
After contemplating, he said, âThe kidnapper was odd too, He didnât even ask for ransom.
â
Rosalynn considered this.
It was strange.
The Moreno family was wealthy, and she was Brianâs wife.
Any ordinary kidnapper would demand a hefty ransom.
But this one only wanted a helicopter, as if he was more interested in escaping quickly.
âMaybe heâs heard of your reputation and was afraid youâd chase him to the ends of the earth for your money,â Rosalynn joked, trying to lighten the mood.
Brian glanced at her and chuckled.
âHoney, are you praising me or mocking me? Chasing him? Heâs not my wife.
Why would I chase him?â
Rosalynn laughed, and the tension in the car eased a bit.
Holding the steering wheel with one hand and Rosalynnâs hand with the other, Brian heaved a sigh.
âThis should have been a happy vacation, but those assholes ruined it.
â
Rosalynn flashed a reassuring smile.
âItâs fine.
Whatâs important is weâre safe.
We can go on a vacation next time.
â
âYouâre right.
â Brian smiled.
Being out of danger was the most important thing for now.
As the car drove off, Brian glanced at the rearview mirror and noticed a car behind them.
He didnât think much of it and just assumed it was a normal car going in the same direction as them.
However, when he glanced at the rearview mirror the second time, he saw someone poking his head out of the passenger seat of the car behind them with a gun.
Brianâs expression darkened, but he remained calm as he said, âSomethingâs wrong with the car behind us.
â
Alarmed, Rosalynn turned around to take a look.
But Brian pressed her head down and shouted, âGet down!â
As Rosalynn ducked, a bullet stuck the back window of the car.
Fortunately, the glass was bulletproof.
It didnât break, but the gunshot left a crack.
Rosalynnâs chest pounded.
âWho are those people? Why do they have guns?â
Brianâs expression hardened.
Through the rearview mirror, he could see the man in the passenger seat of the car behind them aiming the gun in their direction again.
They were the target!
âI donât know, but one thingâs for sure: theyâre after us,â Brian said sternly.
