It'll Come Naturally

"I'm sorry! I am the owner of the car." Annie was still in a state of shock. Her face remained pale.

"Could you tell us what happened? Please start from as far back as you can remember." The police officer took out his book and prepared it for note taking. "Sure." Annie narrated the entirety of the incident accordingly as she remembered it. As for what would happen next, it could only be determined by the police.

"Do you mean to say that the perpetrator did it on purpose?" The police officer looked at her. He just wondered that how could such a beautiful woman be hated by someone, not to mention someone who would act on that hate.

"I'm not sure about that. So please do a more thorough investigation." Annie guessed that the people who came and tried to kill her might have had connections with the Ke family. That was what made sense for the time being. But since she had no solid evidence, she had no choice but to keep it to herself.

"Well, Ma'am, we will need your full cooperation during this investigation. We will be in touch with you again at any time before the case is finalized. So please keep your communication lines open." After writing down Annie's testimony, the police officer noted Annie's name and phone number. Then he turned to continue the site investigation.

And right at that moment, Annie heard a loud screeching of the brakes from behind. Her body shrank in fear. But when she saw that it was Rain, she heaved a sigh of relief and relaxed.

"Annie, are you all right?" Rain even did not have the time to close his car door. As soon as the car stopped moving, he quickly ran towards Annie and looked at her from head to toe to check that if she was okay.

"I'm all right. I am just a little scared, that's all," answered Annie. As it was winter, she was dressed in layers. Her thick clothing helped to soften the impact. So she was not seriously hurt when she fell to the ground. She did have a few minor scratches.

"Don't be afraid. It's all right, I'm here now," Rain said. He gently pulled her to his arms and gave her a tight embrace to comfort her. Unknown to her, he himself was also scared bloody cold after seeing the twisted and mangled metal of the two cars. If he did not arrange for people to protect her, he really dared not to imagine what would have happened today.

"Okay. I'm so glad that you're here." Leaning against his tight chest, Annie could finally feel a little warmth. Before this, the cold had crept through her clothes. It made her whole body shiver. Thinking about her escape from death was enough to chill her to the bone. She really did not know why someone would be so determined to want her dead.

Rain's eyes turned gloomy. Unless he guessed wrong, it was definitely not just a simple accident. Just at that moment, he saw several women from the Ke family walk out of a cafe nearby. It was too good a coincidence that they would happen to just be there, as if waiting for the crash to happen with a front seat view of the whole thing. He curved his lips into a grim smile. Since they were ruthless enough to come up with such an plan, he would give them a dose of their own medicine. If it was a game they wanted, then a game, they would get.

"Oh my god! What just happened here? What a disaster!" Sheena shouted out exaggeratedly when she saw Rain and Annie. She pretended to be relieved to see that Annie turned out to be safe, but her face couldn't hide the fact that she seemed annoyed and disappointed.

"I think, of all people, you are the one who knows what kind of disaster it was supposed to be." Rain gritted his teeth and stared at this woman. He had put up with what the Ke family members were doing for a long time. But what he got was nothing but headaches, pain and disappointment from them. From here on, he did not want to tolerate them anymore, especially after what had just happened.

"What do you mean by that? We know what it was supposed to be? What are you talking about? I do not like your tone. It's as if you are saying that we have arranged for all this to happen," Eugenia said. Eugenia hated Rain the most as Rain was the one who had ended the cooperated relationship with her family company once he became the President of KD Group. Becasue of what he had done, her family company got a hard hit.

"Whether that's a yes or a no, God knows the answer. And one way or another, he will not let the real bad guys get away with it." Rain's eyes coldly swept over the women in front of him. He knew that every single one of them was involved in this scheme. They were so tightly knit that none of them could easily keep out of the whole thing, from planning to execution.

"Haha, if you are trying to be funny, well, it is not working. It is true that we have called her and had her come and meet us. But it doesn't mean that we orchestrated this accident. Be careful with how you use your words against us. We really could not afford such a serious accusation." Hannah raised her eyebrows coldly at the cars that had been reduced to nothing but scrap iron.

"You'd better pray that I don't find any evidence of your involvement, or I'll make sure that you'll all be miserable." Once Rain turned serious, everyone trembled in fear as his voice thundered with such strength. Very few people had seen this side of him as he rarely showed it.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

"Suit yourself and look all you want! But if you find no evidence and still smear our name, we will sue you for defamation." Sheena's confidence did not waver. She was not worrying about a thing. She was sure that everything was seamlessly done according to plan, with the exception of the target not getting killed. Rain's efforts would be futile.

"Hah! Don't be so sure about it. The truth always comes out. Always!" Rain knew well what kind of people the Ke family were. He always felt disgusted whenever he had to face them. The world would be a better place without the existence of this curse of a family. "Blah! Blah! Blah! Until you find the proof, you have nothing but words! Let's go girls! There is nothing for us here." Sheena glanced to the site of the accident. 'Damn it, how could she still be alive under such a circumstance,' she grumbled in her heart. These people arrogantly left with their heads lifting high. They were confident to the core that Rain could not find any evidence against them.

"Let's go! We need to find Tom so that he can give you a thorough check up. You may look fine now but we don't know if you are sustaining any internal injuries." Although Annie said she was okay, Rain couldn't be complacent. He needed the final word from a reputable doctor like Tom to declare that she was indeed ok. He did not want to take any chances and risk the shock in the future that an illness would suddenly arise because of this accident.

"But what about here? Are we free to go?" Annie looked around the scene of the accident with a bit of worry.

"It's okay. I've arranged someone to come and help deal with it," Rain said. He then helped Annie get into his car. Until he was finally in the driver's seat, grasping the steering wheel, he realized how frightened he was because he could clearly see his hand still shaking. Inside the car, the noise from outside had been muffled. So he could hear his own blood pulsing in his head.

"Rain, what's wrong?" Seeing that Rain still did not start the car, Annie could not help but ask.

"I am okay. Don't forget to buckle your seat belt." Rain calmed himself down. He could not let her know that he was scared. After all, as the man of the house, he was expected to protect her and their children.0000000
