Chapter 480

As Nyla spoke, she fumbled for the car’s ignition and slammed it.

Hearing the engine roar to life, the man immediately reached into the car, attempting to open the back door.

Without hesitation, Nyla floored the gas pedal, and the car surged forward, dragging the man with it.

He didn’t let go. Instead, he clung to the door and growled, “You’re dead, you filthy bitch!”

Nyla tried to accelerate to throw him off, but not only did he hold onto the door but also started climbing into the car. She gripped the steering wheel tightly, her face grawing paler.

Finally, she made up her mind and slammed the gas pedal again, accelerating rapidly.

Now the man showed real fear. “Stop! You filthy bitch! Or I’ll kill you!”

At this speed, he could be thrown off and killed instantly if he wasn’t careful.

Just as Nyla was about to throw him off, a large truck appeared directly before her, barreling toward her.

Her face went pale, and she swerved sharply to the right.

The car slammed into a tree, and black smoke billowed up immediately.

Nyla’s head struck the seat back with tremendous force, sending sharp pain through her body and causing her to lose consciousness instantly.

The man who had been holding onto the car door was thrown from the impact, his body flying several meters before crashing to the ground.

The truck came to a stop. A woman dressed in black, wearing a mask and hat, stepped out and approached the wrecked car.

When she saw Nyla unconscious and bloodied, she sneered. Pulling open the car door, she dragged Nyla out.

After tossing Nyla into the truck’s cargo area, the woman quickly drove away.

Not long after the truck left, Nyla’s car exploded with a loud bang.

Flames shot up into the sky, and the thick smoke attracted attention from afar.

…

In the CEO office of the Preston Group, Nathaniel’s face was grim as he slammed a file down in front of Troy.

“What are you doing?! I asked you to bring her back, not kill her! If Damon finds out I’m behind this, we’ll be enemies for life!” he snarled.

Troy lowered his head. “Mr. Preston, our team chose a route without surveillance, so it shouldn’t be discovered… Besides, Ms. Jayston’s body hasn’t been found at the scene yet…”

“Shut up!” Nathaniel growled.

Nyla’s car lay reduced to a charred wreck. With the explosion, any remains would have turned to ash long ago. It was crucial to cover this up!

“Where are the people you sent?” Nathaniel demanded.

Troy reported, “One is severely injured and in a coma at the hospital. The other two have been hidden.”

“Immediately arrange for them to leave the country. We must ensure Damon never links this to me. It was just an accident,” Nathaniel instructed.

“Yes, sir!” Troy replied.

After Troy left, Nathaniel felt a heavy weight pressing down on him.

Nyla’s accident was closely tied to him, and considering Damon’s affection for her, he couldn’t imagine the consequences if Damon learned the truth.

Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Nathaniel quickly reviewed any details that still needed handling. Meanwhile, Rebecca received a call from Jordyn. “She’s been captured. What should I do next?”

Rebecca provided an address and instructed in a low voice, “Just send her to this location. Don’t worry about anything else.”
