Chapter 93: Master Dunn, you’re awesome!
Before Nathan Carouie could react, Richelle Dunn had already swiftly shifted from the left lane to the right, changing lanes several times. Then, with a sharp turn, she steered the car into an alley on the right side.
“Dr. Dunn…”
It was really just an alley, with a sign prohibiting motor vehicles at the entrance. The narrow alley twisted and turned, and Richelle gripped the steering wheel tightly, expertly maneuvering the car left and right, her skills rivaling those of professional race car drivers.
The black car following them had been shaken off at some point. Their car finally left the alley and returned to the main road.
After experiencing the intense chase like being tossed around in stormy seas, Nathan’s face turned white. Opening the car window, he clutched his stomach and gasped for a breath of fresh air, gradually recovering.
He turned to Richelle, giving her a thumbs-up.
“Master Dunn, you’re awesome!”
At first, Nathan thought Richelle was being forced to enter the alley in a state of panic. But then, she seemed to have divine assistance, steering the car so smoothly that it seemed to enter a world of their own. She conquered the difficult route with ease.
However, the speed of the car and the sharp turns were so intense that several times he slid off and hit his head against the car window.
Now, he could feel the forming of a few bumps on his head.
Ignoring his sarcastic comment, Richelle said, “It seems that those people are very quick!”
Nathan finally realized that he was supposed to be the one protecting Richelle, but somehow their roles had been reversed.
“Master Lewis received a call from the police station last night and immediately had me add you on WhatsApp. The bodyguards I arranged are on standby at the hotel right now. But 1 didn’t expect them to take the first move,” Nathan explained.
Richelle didn’t agree with him. “They probably acted on the spur of the moment.”
Nathan didn’t quite understand her meaning. “What do you mean?”
“Aside from The Lewis and the special floors at the hospital, not many people know what I look like. So their target must be you, not me!”
While not many recognized her, Nathan was known by many as Roy Lewis’ assistant.
Nathan wiped the sweat off his forehead and looked at Richelle with no sign of panic.
“Dr. Dunn, how did you develop such courage?”
He, a grown man, had been terrified during the chase and couldn’t stop thinking about it.
But how could she, a beautiful and delicate woman, act like nothing had happened?
Glancing at him nonchalantly, Richelle said, “It’s nothing. My mentor and I used to drive through war zones under heavy gunfire every day. In comparison, what just happened was a piece of cake!”
Nathan had always been curious about Richelle because Uncle Axel had told him many stories about her adventures.
In Uncle Axel’s words, Richelle was a divine figure.
At that time, Nathan secretly mocked Uncle Axel for making up such an unbelievable character because he missed her.
But now, after interacting with Richelle, he had to admit that she was indeed capable of overcoming any obstacle.
The car continued driving, and Nathan’s shock gradually subsided.
He took out his phone and called Roy Lewis.
“Master, we were followed.”
At this moment, Roy was talking to his uncle, Kennedy Green, on a video call. Nathan’s call was on speaker, and his words fell clearly upon Kennedy’s ears.
“What? The Thompsons won’t let it go?”
Roy hummed, “This time, the Thompsons’ target might not be Richelle.”
Kennedy nodded thoughtfully, “1 think so too. They’re using Richelle as a pretext to cause a stir.”
Roy told Nathan, “Just do as we discussed earlier, and I’ll handle the aftermath. I’ll deal with the situation on Nathan’s side first.”
They didn’t try to conceal the conversation, so Nathan heard everything clearly on the phone.
“Master, does Mr. President have any issues as well?”
Nathan had earned the trust of Roy Lewis because of his loyalty and capability. In addition to having been a child sponsored by Kennedy Green and his wife at an orphanage, he was utterly devoted to them and Roy.
Roy seemed harsh toward Nathan, but he treated him like a brother.
That was why Uncle Axel would tell Nathan everything that happened at home.
Roy never treated Nathan as an outsider.
Of course, Richelle was unaware of all this, and she felt that Nathan’s comments on Roy Lewis had been overstepping. However, her intuition told her there was an ulterior motive behind Nathan’s words.
Either she didn’t want to know, or she didn’t want to think about it.
After confirming they had shaken off their pursuers and there were no new cars following, Richelle relaxed and listened to Nathan’s conversation.
However, after reporting the incident, Nathan remained silent until he mentioned Mr. President.
As she thought, the true target of the Thompsons was never her.
And the real target of the followers was Nathan, just as she had guessed.
It appeared that this assistant had some deep ties with Roy Lewis and even Mr. President.
Richelle silently drew this conclusion in her mind.
Then she heard Nathan say, “Alright, 1 understand. I’ll escort Dr. Dunn back to the hotel first and contact you later.”
After hanging up the phone, Richelle didn’t ask for further clarification, waiting for Nathan to explain himself.
Master Lewis said their pursuers’ target should be me, not you. So we should go back to the hotel and stop wandering aimlessly on the streets,” Nathan said..
