Chapter 235
*Zander, are you coming with us or doing your own thing? I’ll transfer the money once we’re back home, Emily ed.
‘I’ll come with you. I have a feeling the trip back might be a bit rough,’ Zander replied.
He was probably right.
Orville was already knocked out by her, but as she left the compund with Daniel, they might run into reinforcements
heading to the park. That meant Orville had some powerful allies. So, even though she knew her official contacts were on
their way, caution was still necessary.
“Alright, thanks for the extra help, Emily said as she and Hayden headed back to the hotel with Zander tagging along.
The others, like Leopard and Bird, agreed with Zander. They volunteered, probably because when Emily was surrounded
earlier, she prioritized their escape over her own safety. They felt Emily was someone worth sticking around.
Emily didn’t turn down their goodwill. She and Daniel, along with York and Leopard, shared one car. Zander and the
others, including Hayden, followed in another.
At first, everything went smoothly. There were some minor dangers later, but their excellent driving skills helped them
avoid any trouble. They were almost at the airport when the unexpected happened.
No one saw the car accident coming.
Their car got hit. Emily’s stance was clear. “They hit us. We don’t have time to argue, and it’s possible they did it on
purpose. Don’t get out of the car. Just tell them we won’t pursue it and ask them to clear the way.”
“Got it,” York responded.
Just before they left the hotel, Daniel’s condition had worsened. He had directly instructed York, “From now on, follow
Emily’s lead.”
York had seen Emily’s skills at the park and had no doubts about her. He even had a growing admiration for her. They
respected strength, and Emily had proven herself.
York rolled down the window to relay Emily’s message. However, the other party, whether out of sheer stubbornness or
ulterior motives, refused to move. They insisted, “Since it’s our fault, we need to pay for it, and we must ensure you’re not
faking injuries. Let’s go to the hospital.”
Even though York insisted it wasn’t necessary, they wouldn’t budge. York was about to get out of the car to argue, but
Emily, not wanting to waste time, said, “Let me handle this.”

If York got out, the other party would assume he was just a driver, who wouldn’t make any decisions. When Emily approached, they might show respect and bring out their boss.
“Emily, what are you doing here?”
As Emily appeared at the other car door, a young m
and a young woman got out of the car as the door opened.
The woman, with a delicate appearance, had a somewhat mischievous and willful look in her eyes.
The man turned out to be James.
Upon seeing Emily, James blurted out involuntarily.
Emily frowned, genuinely surprised, not expecting to encounter James here.
She remembered that James seemed to have been punished by Daniel and sent abroad. Could it be in Zephyria?
Were there any projects of the Smith Group here? She really had no idea.
However, James was more of a foe than a friend. If he decided to plot against Daniel due to his exposed physical condition
today, it would likely lead to endless trouble.
So, Emily suppressed her aversion to James and tried to speak gently. “I’m here for tourism, didn’t expect to run into you. Since we know each other, I’m in a hurry to catch a flight and might miss it soon. So, let’s forget about the car accident
compensation. Please talk to your friend about it.”
She thought that would be enough for James to step aside.
