Chapter 357 Responsibility Petrified
Aleena got up in a hurry. The bold words that she had said earlier in front of Silas 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 didnât dare to slow down
because it might cause her to lose her life. As the saying went, âwhen people are about to die, they
are capable of unleashing limitless potentialâ. Aleena swore that she had never run like this before in
her whole life. Silas 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 Camila. 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 Camila at Nolan Residence, Camila managed to turn the tables on her
because of her smarts, so Aleena reaped what she sowed.
If not, Camila 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, Aleenaâs 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 didnât 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 Silas 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.
