Billionaire Defiant Wife

Chapter 588: I'll Pay You

Avery stood by the police car and took over the temporary id the cops gave her back. Her official id in B Country was under progress, so she used a temporary one. That was why the police were more suspicious about her.

"Do you hear me? Raise your hands above your head where we can see!"

The cars started to form a line. Some impatient drivers started pressing the horn.

"What's with the rush? Do it one by one."

The police with the device shouted and put out his pent-up anger on Avery.

He lifted the device up, and when it was about to hit Avery's arms, a long and firm hand reached over and grabbed it. The device was in the air.

The policeman tried to take the device back, but the man threw it on the floor.

Avery only heard the weapons were drawn, and the policeman took out his gun and pointed at the man. She might get scared in the past when this happened. But she has been through enough of this shit to keep calm.

She glimpsed at the man. He was very calm, like he had nothing to fear. He grabbed the device to help her. So did he throw it on the ground so she could pay attention to him?

Or if the policeman found the gun on her, they would treat her as a person of interest.

She wasn't afraid that they took her away because, after her identity was confirmed, the police would escort her back to the presidential house with respect.

But she didn't know why she didn't want to do this. She was curious about the man.

Boom.

A loud noise came from behind them. And Avery felt someone came over and hugged her to fall on the ground. It all happened in an instant.

The explosion and the light from the fire almost lit the sky. The sounds of car wrecks and pieces falling were mixed with shoutings.

Avery's head was held by a warm hand. She was in his arms. The policeman was long gone. The man said with a charming accent, "Get in the car."

Then Avery could no longer feel the faint perfume from the man. She was held by the man and shoved in the car.

The car started soon and speeded up. It flew the check sign at the station off and drove away.

Maybe there were too many turns, Avery felt the driver was not used to the situation. He suddenly turned right and then left. Avery held the handrail tightly but still swayed to different directions. She felt car sick.

She sat in the passenger's seat. And she fell over to the left because of a sudden turn.

The man smiled and held Avery by her shoulder. Andre got steady soon and distanced herself. The car hit another turn, and she fell into his arms again.

Was the driver deliberate? This was a small turn, and how could he turn like this?

The human-made fun of Avery and said, "Do you enjoy throwing yourself at me?" He was enjoying this.

But Avery said unhappily, "Don't tell me you are deliberate? Are you in this together? Jerks."

Evan lowered his head to see her hand. She pressed on his lap, trying to get up.

While Evan had his hands in the air, it was like showing Avery he was true, saying she threw herself at him.

Avery withdrew her hands quickly and kept a distance between him. The driver started apologizing, "I am sorry. This is a bumpy road. It'll get better soon."

Avery pressed her lips to show her dissatisfaction. She looked ahead, and the road was straight. So the driver wouldn't make so many turns.

It was probably because of the explosion; many cars chose different turns and got dispersed. They didn't know which this way led to. All they saw was the blue ocean on their left side.

B country is a country surrounded by seas. One could see them everywhere.

In order to ignore Evan, Avery looked outside, "Where are we going?"

It was not the road she recognized.

Evan answered, "The submarine tunnel is less than 20 miles."

A submarine tunnel leads to the islands where people spent vacations.

Avery rubbed her temple. Peace Island was opposite the President's house.

Avery said, "There is a road leading to town next to the submarine tunnel."

Not long after, when the car was about to exit the highway, another black car that suddenly drove on the road. The car looked shabby. Avery took one look. The car was driving fast in their direction, and it was reversing.

Looking in the car, Avery saw a black hole in their window.

Avery's look changed and held the handrail tightly.

No wonder the cops outside the police cars all looked intense on the highway. The terrorists were not caught. Avery didn't know how many cars they changed. But these two cars were stolen by them.

The driver and Evan saw it too. Evan said calmly and peacefully, "Sit tight."

Avery sat tight, subconsciously.

At the same time, the car passed their car fast. Avery could hear the screeching sound, and she had goosebumps on her skin.

The sun was glaring, and Evan's look was calm as he always was. The car window of the other car was opened, and they fired guns. Bang! Avery's car swerved fast to get away from the bullets.

But the driver of the other car was determined to go after them. After the driver heard the sirens following them, he stepped on the gas and came right after Avery's car.

As the driver in Avery's car was about to take a turn to head town, some guy in the other car got out of the window and shot their tires twice.

The driver had to swerve to avoid the bullets. Avery felt she was flung out. The car went on the submarine tunnel because of the shift of focus.

Luckily, the driver was skilled. He made the car steady and went ahead.

Avery looked behind, and the other car wasn't coming. Maybe they chose another way to avoid police cars.

However, the car Avery was in was the same model as the other one. The terrorists must want to use their car to get rid of some of the police's attention.

The car drove fast. Avery looked outside. The tunnel was in the shape of a tube. On the two sides were transparent glasses. She could see the underwater world. Underneath the light, they shined.

But Avery wasn't in the mood to enjoy the view. She just wanted to get to Peach Island and called others to pick her up.

She suddenly remembered something and turned at Evan. Evan was looking at her too.

Avery frowned. She couldn't shake the feeling that he looked at her like she was his wife.

Avery bent over and took out her wallet, "How much is the fare? I'll pay you."
