S31 71. Not an Accident
Jeremy glanced at Ava briefly. “I’m just judging from your
movements. Is my analysis correct? Is that what makes you a stiff woman?”
Ava’s breath came out quickly. “I regret coming to the airport with
you. I should have gone to the hospital myself.”
“Aren’t you afraid? Moore’s men are still after you.”
“You threaten me?”
Jeremy shook his head briefly. “I’m worried about your situation. You
act bravely without thinking about the consequences.”
Ava leaned her head against the back of the seat, snorting in annoyance. “You want to
bring up my decision to help Sophia some time ago?”
“No-”
“Stop the car. I’m tired of hearing your judgment.”
Jeremy ignored her. He focused on the road. The light at the
intersection ahead showed green. If they’re stuck at a red light, Ava would definitely get
out.
“I said stop the car. You don’t have to drive me to the hospital.”
Jeremy instead stepped on the gas.
“Jeremy?”
Suddenly, something big hit them from the side. Window glass shattered. Some stuck into
their skin. While Ava gasped, Jeremy groaned, trying to control the wheel. However, their
car kept spinning as if the asphalt had turned slippery.

“Frank,” Kara entered the CEO’s room with a sweet smile, “Grandma just told me. They
have been called to board the plane. Everyone is safe.”
Frank leaned back, putting on a cheerful face. “Thank God. That
means my guess was right. The Moore wasn’t targeting Grandma.”
Kara nodded. “Now you can work peacefully, hmm?”
“I’m always in peace. It’s you who can now work peacefully.” Frank narrowed his eyes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKara laughed lightly. “Okay. I admit I was a little worried. But now that I think about it,
maybe they don’t hold a grudge against us, right? Sophia herself was the one who was
reckless.”
Frank nodded with a stiff smile. “Yes, now focus on your work. You have nothing to worry
about anymore. Kids will also be safe at school.
After kissing Frank’s cheek and letting him kiss her forehead, Kara walked towards the
door. “If you need help, just call me.”
“Okay.”
With a sincere curve of his lips, Frank watched his wife open and close the door. He was
relieved that Kara was no longer afraid.
However, when he was about to straighten his pen, his phone rang. The name that
appeared froze the air around him.
“Finnic?”
Frank’s eyes suddenly dimmed. “What’s wrong?”
“Frank,” the man’s voice was hoarse, “they’re starting to move. Be careful. I just wanted
to give you a warning.”

Frank’s eyebrows knitted tightly together. “What happened?”
“My mother… she’s in the emergency room right now. She fell down the stairs. But I have
a strong feeling that it wasn’t an accident.”
Frank swallowed bitterly. His lungs were full of various assumptions.” Okay, thank you for
informing me of this. I hope your mother recovers. quickly.”
Frank hung up the phone and hurried to call Philip. After asking him to increase his
vigilance, he contacted Jeremy. However, unlike usual,
his brother did not answer the call.
“Pick up my phone, Jeremy,” Frank sighed softly. His index finger tapped on the table non-
stop.
Losing patience, Frank finally opened an application. After typing a few letters, his eyes
were glued to the screen. Jeremy’s GPS point stopped in the middle of the intersection.
Frank waited a few
seconds, but the red color didn’t move. Instantly, cold sweat beaded
on the back of his neck.

“Ugh,” Jeremy groaned as he caught his breath. The crash felt like it was breaking his
bones.
With ringing ears, he failed to catch the ringing of his phone whic was lying near his feet.
His vision was blurry; he couldn’t see the panicked faces of the bodyguards who were
running towards his car
“Mr. Jeremy? Mr. Jeremy?”
Slowly, the mist in Jeremy’s eyes cleared. The voice of the bodyguard patting his shoulder
was detected.
“Mr. Jeremy? Is there any serious injury?”
Jeremy straightened his back from the backrest. The bodyguard
helped him unfasten his seat belt. However, when the guard was about to carry him out,
he dodged it.
“Wait. Ava?” Jeremy looked to the side. Seeing Ava’s eyes closed, his heart jumped even
higher. “Ava?”
Jeremy changed his sitting position so he could examine her. Apart from a cut from glass
shards on her hands and a bruise on her
temple, there were no other injuries. However, her lips were pale and her breathing was
weak.
“Ava? Ava?” Jeremy patted her shoulder. Getting no response, he got
out of the car himself.
“Have you called the ambulance and police?” Jeremy asked before opening the door next
to Ava.
“Yes, Sir.”
Carefully, Jeremy unbuckled Ava’s seat belt. Just as he was about to examine more closely,
her eyelids lifted. Seeing that, Jeremy breathed a sigh of relief.
“Thank God, you’re awake,” he muttered before grabbing Ava’s fingers. “Ava, can you
hear me?”
Ava moved her head slightly. Her blinking looked helpless. “Jeremy?
“Yes, it’s me. Are you hurt? Where does it hurt?”
Ava shook her head faintly. “Just my head is a little dizzy.”
“No broken bones?” Jeremy examined her hands and feet.

“No.”
Jeremy took a deep breath. “Okay, listen. I’ll move you to a safer place. Tell me if you’re in
pain, okay? Guard!”
One person immediately approached. While Jeremy held Ava’s upper
body, he held her legs. After placing Ava on the safer side, Jeremy surveyed the situation.
Traffic was now blocked. His car and the escort car on the shoulder of the road were
actually not that much of a barrier. However, the other car that hit them stopped in the
middle of the intersection.
“How is the driver’s condition?”
The bodyguard contacted his colleague via a small device attached to his ear.
“Sorry, Sir. When our team checked him, he was already lifeless. It looked like he was
having heart failure.”
Jeremy grimaced. His teeth were chattering, furious at the enemy’s cunning strategy that
was willing to sacrifice one life.
“They’re really heartless,” Jeremy muttered as he reached into his pocket. However,
realizing that his phone was not there, he let out a small snort. “Can you look for my
phone? I think it fell in the car.”
“It’s here, Sir.” A bodyguard ran from the direction of the car.
“Please keep an eye on Ava,” Jeremy ordered before reaching out, taking the phone.
There was a crack on the screen. However, it still worked. Three missed calls from Frank
were still displayed on the notification Without thinking, Jeremy called him back.
“Frank?”
“Jeremy? What happened? Why did you stop at that intersection?”
Jeremy pinched the bridge of his nose. “You checked my GPS?”
“Yeah, Finnic called earlier. He warned us to be more careful because his mother just fell
down the stairs. He didn’t think it was a natural accident. So, what happened to you guys?
You’re okay, right?”
“A car hit us from the side. I’m okay. Ava seems to have minor
injuries. The car was badly damaged. But I think we still need to go to the hospital for
further checks.”
Frank’s heavy sigh was audible. “Okay, take good care of yourself,
Jer. Don’t let your guard down. Tell the guards to stay on guard near you.”
“Okay, then your plan?”
