Chapter 611
Eilies grinned, "Flora, have you eaten yet? Let's go grab some dinner! How about hotpot?"
"Sure," Flora nodded.
Eilies pulled out her phone to book a ride, aiming for a favorite hotpot place downtown, well-known for its delicious taste.
They reached the school gate just as their ride pulled up.
The driver, noticing they were students from the University of Maple Grove, couldn't help but comment, "You girls are going places. My son never made it into such a prestigious school."
His voice was tinged with envy. Students from the University of Maple Grove were considered top-tier, destined for great success, unlike his son...
Cynthia, ever the chatterbox, struck up a lively conversation with the driver, while Flora, head down, was busy texting Connor on her phone. Suddenly, the driver glanced in the rearview mirror and said, "Ladies, did you tick someone off? That van's been tailing us for a while." Flora looked up, her face tightening as she saw the gray van following them.
Just then, a large truck aggressively merged into their lane, charging at their taxi with menacing intent!
The taxi driver turned pale with fear.
"What the heck... Girls, who did you upset?"
Flora put away her phone, her gaze sharp as she watched the relentless pursuit of the van and the truck through the rearview mirror.
To avoid the truck's collision, the car swerved wildly, narrowly missing several other vehicles! Thankfully, it was nighttime and they were near the highway, where traffic was sparse, otherwise, an accident would have been inevitable.
Inside the car was chaos. Cynthia and Eilies clutched the handles tightly, their heads knocking against the windows, causing swelling on their foreheads!
The driver, pale and trembling, gripped the steering wheel tightly, utterly at a loss. Just then, from the passenger seat, Flora's voice cut through the panic. "You handle the gas and the clutch, I'll steer. Now, floor it!"
"What?!"
The driver was taken aback, especially with a sharp turn coming up. Flooring the gas?
And with the traffic, wouldn't that mean crashing into another car?
"Just do it!"
Her voice was cold and commanding, leaving no room for doubt. The driver, spurred by her command, instinctively pushed the gas pedal to the floor!
The sudden speed increase nearly sent Cynthia and Eilies flying out of their seats, causing them to grip the handles even tighter. "We're going to crash!"
The driver screamed, watching as
they rapidly closed in on the vehicle
ahead. Instinctively, he started to ease off the gas, but was immediately met with Flora's stern command.
"Floor it!"
Terrified, the driver complied, and the car surged forward!Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
They were about to crash into the vehicle in front!
However, just when they were half a meter away, Flora, gripping the steering wheel, made a sudden move!
She swiftly turned the wheel
er
forty-five degrees, then quickly straightened it thirty degrees, skillfully maneuvering the car past the rear of the vehicle in front, threading through the narrow gap
between the two cars!
The driver, now safely cruising, was scared out of his wits, believing they were all moments away from death...
"Girl, you've got some serious nerve..."
In such a perilous situation, she had dared to accelerate. A slight miscalculation could have resulted in a crash, with the impact likely killing them all.
Flora simply smiled slightly, remaining silent.
