Chapter 438
The surrounding pedestrians immediately screamed and scattered.
Violet also exclaimed and quickly pushed Sylvia past the two groups.
After a while, when they were far away from the commotion, Violet finally stopped in relief.
Sylvia let out a breath on the wheelchair and asked, “Violet, are you okay?”
Violet replied, “I’m fine, but we seem to have been separated from Edward and the others. They didn’t
follow us.”
Sylvia glanced back.
The two groups of people were still fighting, but there seemed to be uniformed security guards who
went over to stop them. Edward and the others were professional bodyguards, so they would not be
hurt.
Sylvia said, “They’ll find us. Let’s go over there.”
She looked to the front.
Violet responded and pushed her forward.
Soon they arrived at the other side of Cloudy Heart Lake.
This area was connected to two small hills several dozen of meters high. The hills blocked out a lot of
light, so there were very few people here.Violet said, “Mrs. Carter, there’s no one ahead. Let’s not go
there and wait for Edward and the others to come instead.”Sylvia hummed in agreement.At that
moment, the fragrance of snacks came from not far away.There were several stalls set up with local
specialties that Sylvia loved to eat.She did not eat dinner, so her appetite was instantly whetted.Violet
saw her expression and laughed. “Mrs. Carter, I’ll push you over to buy some.”Although there were not
many pedestrians here, there were quite a lot of people lined up over there to buy snacks.Sylvia said,
“You don’t need to push me over. I’ll wait for you here. Buy some more so we can eat together.”They
were in an elevated area, and the food stalls were on the bottom. It would be a waste of effort to wheel
Sylvia down and push her up again later.“Okay, then wait for me here. I’ll be right back.”
“Mm.”Violet immediately ran over to the snack stand.Sylvia turned her wheelchair to face Cloudy Heart
Lake. She watched the crowd walking below while feeling the fresh breeze blowing over the lake.Then,
her wheelchair suddenly moved backward.Sylvia was shocked and turned her head to look.She saw a
man wearing all black as well as a baseball hat and mask.The brim of the hat was so low that she
could not even see his eyes. It was like he was a professional killer.Sylvia was frightened and
immediately opened her mouth to call for help.At that moment, a dagger was placed against her neck.
She stiffened and asked in a small voice, “Who are you? What do you want? Do you want money?”The
dagger suddenly pressed down on her neck.The sharp and cold blade would slit her throat at any
moment.It was clear that he did not want her to speak.Sylvia’s body was covered in a layer of cold
sweat. She quickly shut her mouth.At the same time, an expensive MPV raced out of the airport and
drove in the direction of Cloudy Heart Lake.In the car, a man in a suit sat straight in the
backseat.However, there was a frown on his face as he glanced at his watch from time to time. He
looked somewhat anxious.In the passenger seat, Cliff looked at the man’s face through the rearview
mirror and said, “Master Carter, the fireworks show at Cloudy Heart Lake will only start in about twenty
minutes. We’re not far from there now, so we should be able to make it in time.”The man in the back
seat was none other than Odell Carter.He had just rushed back from another state and had to go back
to the field early tomorrow morning to continue hosting the project.He came back at this time to see if
the woman regained some of her normalcy. He also bought some gifts for her and planned to watch the
fireworks with her.He opened the box at his side and looked at it.
