The red sports car was approaching at such speed that both the girls felt their knees trembling in fear. They really forgot to struggle out of Cloe's grasp who seemed to be like a daredevil not afraid of anything right now. Even though she stood behind them, she still had no fear in her eyes.

Both Amiah and Xu Hua were so scared that they ended up screaming loud and closed their eyes.

*Screech!*

The car stopped only an inch away from the girls. It was so close to them that if the brakes had been hit just a second later, they both would have been hit.

Seeing death so closely made them fall to their knees. Fear was not the right word to describe their feelings. They couldn't possibly explain what they were feeling right now. It was unexplainable.

The car's door was pushed open and a long leg stretched out. The red stilettos stepped down on the road and a tall figure came into view. The girl was clad in black skinny jeans that made her legs seemed longer. She wore a plain white top and had big sunglasses perched on her nose.

Cloe glanced at her and nodded, "Chief!"

Raelle closed the car's door and leaned against it as she nodded back at Cloe and said, "Continue."

Getting her orders, Cloe crouched down beside the girls who were still shivering in fear, and asked, "So, did you enjoy the feeling? How was it?"

Xu Hua was a crying mess at this point already. She was only 20 and had never felt such fear before in her life. So, she really broke down quite easily.

As for Amiah, although she had seen the world, she had never been treated like this. She was fearful earlier. Who wouldn't be when they'd be facing their death? However, she didn't expect that Cloe had actually played such a sick prank on them.

She glanced at Raelle and then glared at Cloe hatefully, "Are you sick in your head? Are you trying to kill people now? Is there no law in this world? Or do you think you're above it? I'm gonna sue you for this!"

Cloe smiled at her deviously, "Sue me? For what?"

"For doing this!"

"What did I do?"

"Don't play dumb now!" Amiah screamed at Cloe's face. She stood up and clutched Cloe's collar, "We could have gotten hurt!"

"But you didn't," Cloe pointed out. "Did you?" She looked her up and down, "Can you show me the injury?"

"Are you not listening to me? I said we could have gotten hurt!"

Cloe uncurled her fingers from her collar and pushed her away saying, "But that's just a possibility. Do you think the law works on possibilities? You could have gotten hurt but you didn't. You could have died but..." Cloe leaned over and whispered, "You didn't. Do those words ring a bell?"

Amiah was stunned to her place when she heard that. Earlier she insisted on saying that Hyson didn't die. It was just a possibility that didn't happen. So, they didn't have to make a scene out of it since it didn't really happen.

Cloe had Raelle on call all this time and the latter did hear all of it. And it was in fact Raelle who asked Cloe to drag them to the road. She would like to show them what the possibility of death looked like.

Although Cloe was scared inwardly as well, however, knowing that the driver was Raelle Xiang herself, Cloe had full faith. She had seen her boss' driving skills. If she still doubted those skills, she'd be the real idiot around here. Besides, Raelle Xiang's calculations had never gone wrong. She knew precisely when to press the brake to achieve the desired effect that she needed.

Cloe offered her another smile as she continued, "You often don't understand things unless we have gone through them ourselves. You claim that Hyson is fine. How do you know that? Have you visited him? I warned you before, I don't give a fuck even if you're a real princess. If I'm letting you go easily, don't beg for death." She placed her hand on the side of her head and literally pushed her out of her way.

Then she held the crying mess Xu Hua's arm and pulled her up, "Stop crying, young lady. I'm allergic to tears. If anything you're making it worse for yourself by shedding tears. After all, none of us here have any sympathy for you. Besides, you aren't a damsel in distress. No knight is coming to save you. Get up and wipe your own tears already!"

"C.J, stop wasting my time," came Raelle's voice.

Cloe could literally feel Raelle's blank gaze from behind those black shades she wore. And for a fleeting moment, Cloe felt like her boss was feeling impatient but then she shook her head denying her own conjecture. Raelle was the most patient person she knew. There was no way she'd be impatient at this moment.

At this moment, Amiah could tell that the one who called the shots was the one who languidly leaned against the sports car. She was about to approach her when Raelle snapped her fingers and her bodyguards held Amiah back.

"Who are you?" questioned Amiah.

"You'll know eventually. But today isn't that day." She waved her hand and said, "It's better if you stay quiet for now."

Taking the hint, Cloe looked into Xu Hua's eyes and asked, "Now, Miss Xu, before I lose my patience, it's better if you tell me why you did it."

Xu Hua looked around, rubbing her hands against her clothes, but she couldn't find an escape. "I... I was just playing a prank on him."

"Ding, ding, ding! That's a wrong answer," said Cloe. "Let's try again."

"But I'm telling the truth," argued Xu Hua as she found some courage from somewhere. Perhaps, her courage came from the fact that if she continued to stick to her story, she'll be fine. But she was truly underestimating the people she was facing.

Cloe laughed at her, "Miss Xu, I've been working in the corporate world for almost 9 years now. It's a treacherous world filled with scheming people. And do you think a little girl like you can lie to my face and escape with it? I really think you think of me as naive." She placed her hand on Xu Hua's head and added in a serious and dangerous tone, "You better start speaking the truth. Don't try to play with me."

Xu Hua started tearing up again as she spilled out everything, "I... I've been a fan of his band from the beginning. I've liked Hyson for years. Recently his band member was revealed to be dating and it really hurt all the fans including me. But I always believed that Hyson wasn't like that. However, I was proven wrong when I joined the crew. He continued to emphasize that he wanted to make a call. He kept saying how he missed someone really dear to him. It made me mad. I felt betrayed by the fact that he was also hiding a girlfriend." She sneaked a look at Amiah and continued, "I also noticed how Director Jade didn't like him as well. I've always admired Director Jade. So when he argued with the Director, I couldn't take it anymore. I just gave him the wrong directions. But trust me, I only wanted him to lose his way. I didn't want to hurt him."

Cloe gnashed her teeth in rage. Her hand was raised as if she was about to slap her but didn't do it. She clenched her hand and dropped it by her side.

"That made no sense to me," said Cloe. "But it's enough for me to take you to court for a hate crime. What you did was intentional. It wasn't forced." She was really angry as she added, "By the way, as idols, they don't owe fans like you an explanation. And people have families who are special to them as well. But you little girls really feel like they own the idols." She turned around to face Amiah and added, "What did you say to me? It didn't involve you? If you hadn't shown your dislike for Hyson so explicitly, a little assistant of yours wouldn't be audacious enough to cause this mess!"

During all this time, Raelle didn't say a word. She didn't need to. She knew Cloe could handle it herself. She only came here to see everything and hear everything in person.

Amiah was stunned to realize that she indirectly became the reason for hurting Hyson. She had been so strongly insisting on the fact that she didn't do anything wrong. But she didn't realize that she was someone who gave someone else a reason to act against Hyson.

Raelle pushed herself off the car and trotted over to Xu Hua, she looked down at her and said, "Hyson is going through surgery right now." Xu Hua looked up at her in shock. "I just want to let you know this before I drag you to court. I believe you won't have any difficulty telling your family what you told us. After all, they deserve to know who became the reason for their downfall."
