Chapter 214 Brazenly Hitting Someone with a Car
Victoria finished her meeting in the morning and went to have lunch with Alexander as usual.
Since Victoria rescued the company Esme left for her from the brink of bankruptcy two years ago, the entire Horizon Group had not only returned to normal operations but had also become even more stable than before.
As she drove to Vertex Holdings Group, she thought that her life had been a bit too peaceful and happy lately.
After Esme passed away and Thalia stayed in a sanatorium for a long time, she was mostly alone.
But recently, Alexander had appeared. In these short three months, she had felt fulfilled, happy, and joyful because she had a family of her own.
Because of Alexander, she felt the sense of home again.
She just wanted to spend her life with him and have his children.
As she thought about this, she arrived at the building of Vertex Holdings Group.
She parked her car in a roadside spot.
Just as she was about to unbuckle her seatbelt, she heard people outside screaming and shouting, "Get out of the way, that truck is coming!"
She quickly turned her head to the left window and saw a truck seemingly out of control rushing towards her from the left side of the road.
Her pupils contracted slightly. Without any hesitation, she quickly unbuckled her seatbelt and jumped out of the car.
The sudden scene shocked all the drivers in the cars on the road, and people on the roadside ran to safety.
Just when everyone thought the truck was about to hit the black Mercedes, the driver suddenly turned the steering wheel.
Moreover, the direction was exactly where Victoria had moved to after getting out of the car.
Victoria stood there, watching the truck turn towards her without any sign of braking. Her eyes were filled with coldness as she stared at the man in the baseball cap in the truck.
The man's face was grim, his eyes filled with hatred and murderous intent.
He was targeted at her. There was no time to think about how to solve this. The situation happened too suddenly. As the truck came at her, she could only dodge to the side.
But just as she dodged the first time, the truck braked sharply and then quickly started again, not giving her any chance to slide away.
The bystanders were all shocked and very nervous watching this scene.
This was blatant murder.
Some people who came to their senses quickly took out their phones to call the police.
Kimberly had just come out of the building entrance and saw this shocking scene. Her scalp tingled, and she was horrified.
She immediately turned to the security guard beside her and shouted, "Go, inform Mr. Howard that Mrs. Howard is in trouble."
After saying that, she ran out.
Vertex Holdings Group was located in the financial district, as well as the city center. There was a commercial street nearby. At noon, many people were getting off work and preparing to eat, and they were all attracted by the commotion.
Victoria dodged to the side, kneeling on one knee, supporting herself with one hand on the ground, and quickly scanned the surrounding crowd.
This couldn't go on. The man in the truck was targeted at her, and he wouldn't stop until the truck hit her. The driver had chosen this time to act, intending to go down with her, so he wasn't afraid of death.
With his crazy behavior, he might also harm innocent people.
On the top floor, Alexander had just come out of the conference room when Dylan said, "Mr. Howard, something's wrong. Mrs. Howard is being chased by a truck downstairs."
Victoria had already dodged two collisions. If she hadn't been agile enough, she would have been dead by now.
The truck driver didn't expect her to dodge, which wasn't in his plan.
The bystanders watched this thrilling and horrifying scene, also marveling that if there were filming equipment on site, they would have thought it was a movie.
Someone could actually dodge a truck's collision without wires. Victoria's dodging movements were swift and agile, just like in a movie.
The scene was filled with the piercing sound of the truck's tires rubbing against the ground.
Victoria was glad she wore pants today.
As the third collision came again, the traffic officers arrived at the scene.
It was their first time seeing someone so blatantly committing a crime.
The traffic officers immediately evacuated the surrounding crowd and set up a cordon.
The truck driver had lost his mind and couldn't be stopped.
The traffic officers' shouts were useless; he didn't respond at all.
Facing such a terrifying situation, Victoria's nerves were stretched to the limit. While dodging the truck's collisions, she also had to think of a solution.
Dodging like this was not a solution. Her strength hadn't fully recovered, as Alexander had had sex with her half the night.
She had to lure him away from here.
At this moment, she heard someone shout, "Mrs. Howard, get in the car!"
She had just dodged the third collision and quickly turned to look at a nearby car.
Kimberly was sitting in the car, opening the passenger door and shouting at her.
Without time to think, Victoria got up and ran towards Kimberly.
The truck driver quickly turned the steering wheel, preparing for the fourth collision. Seeing her running back, his face darkened. Running away? Impossible.
In that moment, Victoria jumped into the car as fast as she could.
Before the door could close, Victoria shouted, "Go!"
Kimberly stepped on the gas, and the car sped away.
Alexander and others, who had just arrived downstairs, saw Victoria jumping into the car and speeding away, with the truck in hot pursuit.
"Catch up with them!" Alexander's face was livid and terrifying, his eyes filled with a sinister aura.
