Having said that, Helena turned to leave.

Her assistant had no choice but to follow her after wiping away her tears.

Early in the morning at the Chapman family villa, Bob got dressed and told his chauffeur to drive him somewhere.

When Hera and her mother saw that Bob was more vibrant than usual, the former couldn’t help but ask, “Grandpa, where are you going so early in the morning?”

Bob stopped in his tracks and gave her a faint smile. “To meet an old friend of mine.”

The morning sunshine poured into the living room, and his mood was further lifted, seeing the fine weather.

Without saying anything else, Bob left the house with his driver.

Sisley’s expression turned sinister as she watched Bob leave. “That old man must be meeting Ashlyn.”

“What do we do, Mom? Are we really going to let Ashlyn come back?” Hera asked impatiently.

If Ashlyn’s back, I’ll lose my standing in this family.

The heir will definitely be Ashlyn if that really happens.

“Let’s go!”

Sisley’s lips curled up into a smirk as a menacing look appeared on her face.

With that said, she dragged Hera along and followed Bob.

Bob was resting his eyes as the black Mercedes Benz sped on the road.

That morning, he and Ashlyn had agreed to meet at a café.

The thought of meeting Ashlyn and telling her the truth years ago lightened his mood.

Right when the car stopped at an intersection, about to arrive at the café, a truck suddenly rushed out.

Boom!

Bob’s driver was caught off guard and the truck hit the Mercedes Benz head-on, causing it to overturn. The car ended up a total loss.

Bob felt his world spinning. He had sustained a severe injury to his forehead with blood trickling down from his wound.

He held on to a sliver of consciousness and called to the driver in front, “Zach, Zach!”

But the driver had already passed out.

Left with no other option, Bob reached out and tried with all his might to open the car door but to no avail.

He was starting to panic. No! I can’t die!

I still have to talk to Ashlyn about it. I can’t die like this!

Meanwhile, Ashlyn had arrived at the café five minutes before the agreed time.

She heard the deafening crash the moment she got down from the Land Rover after Harrison parked it.

The instant she turned to look, she saw the Mercedes Benz overturning in the air.

An accident?

What on earth happened?

Some passersby had gone over to take a look, while some were taking photos and videos of the scene.

Without hesitation, Ashlyn pulled out her phone and called the police.

As she called the police, she ran over to the crash site. Harrison was also following closely behind.

The truck driver was about to flee in his truck after hitting the Mercedes-Benz.

However, he was stopped by Ashlyn. “Where do you think you’re going? You just committed a crime!”

The driver, who looked to be in his thirties, retorted anxiously, “You b*tch, this is none of your business!”

Ashlyn handed the situation over to Harrison and said, “Keep an eye on him. Don’t let him get away!”

Having said that, she ran towards the Mercedes Benz.

She immediately saw the old man’s familiar face in the car.

Shocked by her discovery, Ashlyn shouted to the old man, “Mr. Chapman? Are you okay?”

Bob heard someone calling to him while he was in a daze. As he slowly opened his groggy eyes, he saw a blurry figure before him.

“F-Fiona… Fiona, is that you? Did you come to get Dad?”

He’s not dead!

Ashlyn could vaguely hear the old man’s voice but couldn’t really make out what he said.

Luckily, he’s still breathing.

She studied the tightly shut car door and the deformed car body.

Following that, Ashlyn reached out for the car door, but due to the impact of the crash, it had already completely deformed and couldn’t be opened.

Then, she glanced over to the car’s bonnet and realized that it was billowing fumes.
