Chapter 422: 422: Calculating Every Step

Adam Howard drove slowly and saw that the lane to their left had come to a complete halt.

With a smirk, Adam glared provocatively at the driver of that vehicle and mumbled to himself, “You wouldn’t let me overtake, but now, I’ve managed to get ahead of you. You can’t keep up with the truck anymore, and you can’t protect it either.”

Daniel Marshall looked out and caught the bitter gaze of the person in the passenger seat of the other car. They seemed rather frustrated.

Daniel was certain, his suspicions were correct, someone was trying to sabotage him with underhanded tactics again.

Seeing an opportunity, Adam quickly maneuvered into the fast lane, no longer trailing behind the truck.

Due to the traffic jam in the slow lane, the car in front of their Rolls-Royce had no choice but to move forward, with Adam closely following behind.

Unexpectedly, the traffic in the truck’s lane came to a sudden halt, allowing them to overtake.

Looking back, Daniel caught sight of the truck driver’s uneasy face.

If they had maintained their speed, they would already be uphill by now.

Simon lowered the window, also closely observing the truck behind them.

Adam concentrated while driving, slowly inching forward, taking a step forward then a pause.

This continued for 5 minutes, until suddenly, a loud noise could be heard, followed by a scream.

Simon instantly looked out the window, and sure enough, something was wrong with the truck. Its load had collapsed, crashing into the cars behind and next to it.

If this accident had occurred at high speed, the consequences would have been unimaginable. It would have inevitably hit the Rolls-Royce, most likely causing a massive chain reaction accident that could even cost lives.

A sigh of relief escaped Adam, his face revealing a sense of relief, “That was really close. Luckily, luck was on our side.”

Simon looked at his boss with admiration, “You have an uncanny ability to predict things!”

Daniel’s cold, deep eyes were as sharp as blades. His resolute face was eerily calm, “This was a premeditated act, every step designed to trap me.”

Simon’s fury was evident on his face as he harshly cursed, “I want to kill that bastard Thompson!”

Daniel’s sensual lips pursed slightly, emanating an air of inscrutability, “Simon, calm down! We don’t have any evidence for this. Any careless action might tip them off.”

While driving, Adam said, “Anyone with half a brain would suspect that this is Thompson’s doing. It’s too obvious. I figured anyone who’d want to harm someone else would be more discreet about it. They wouldn’t want suspicions to fall back on themselves. Moreover, they could pass the blame onto someone else.”

A faint smile appeared across Daniel’s sensual lips, “Adam, it seems you have indeed learned a lot after all these years with me.”

The smile on Adam’s face deepened as he modestly replied, “You flatter me. I just feel that this matter isn’t as simple as it seems. It appears that many people are jealous of you, or they hate you enough to want you dead.”

“If they want my life, let’s see if they’re capable enough!” Daniel’s voice, cold and hard, burst forth from between gritted teeth, radiating an intimidating aura.”

A hint of worry flashed across Simon’s eyes, “We should be extra careful. We are out in the open while they lurk in the dark, and it’s not always possible to guard against surprise attacks.”

Daniel furrowed his brows, “Adam, once we get back to Serene City, do a thorough background check on the executive office staff. Notify HR to prepare new resumes. I want to replace everyone.”
