She was about to disembark when they arrived at the next port, so Josephine and Ethan came to send her off. Willow held Josephine’s hand, saying, “Josephine, you must let me know when you and Ethan get married. I’ll attend your wedding no matter where I am.”
“Sure! I won’t forget about you,” she replied. Then, she added, “Who knows? Maybe you’ll catch the bouquet then!”
“Last time, you caught my sister-in-law’s bouquet. It seems like catching it leads you to find someone you like!”
“Seems like it.” Josephine laughed. “Well, I won’t catch it then! You should throw it to someone who needs it. I just want to focus on my career as a single woman.”
After saying goodbye to the two of them, Willow led her team and disembarked, However, their presence caught the attention of a few men who followed them off the ship.
“This girl is the last person who saw Jasper Wyatt. We can surely get information about his whereabouts from her.”
“He’s shot, and his strength isn’t what it used to be. We’ll be able to kill him.”
These people continued to follow Willow and her group while having their conversation. However, a man wearing casual clothes and a hood stepped off the ship at that moment. He witnessed the scene and frowned. It was clear a girl named Willow was targeted because of him.
Once she got into the car, she took out her iPad and started reviewing her work. She was an international cultural heritage protection worker, so her job was both demanding and meaningful.
Although the Presgraves were against her pursuing this career, they respected her. passion.
It was just that today, Willow caught the attention of a mysterious organization. Her bodyguard escorted her to the hotel, and after taking a brief rest, she received a phone call. “Hello, Miss Presgrave, we’ve been waiting for you. When will you arrive?”
“I’ll be there right away,’ she replied. Despite being young, she held a prominent. position in the world of cultural heritage. protection due to her family background. Today, she was here to represent the International Cultural Heritage Protection Committee and vote on whether to return a batch of cultural artifacts that belonged to other countries.
Meanwhile, outside the hotel, a black SUV was parked directly across from it. The occupants. inside the vehicle kept a close watch on the direction of the hotel. A group of people was also stationed in the garage, ready to take action as soon as Willow appeared.
However, they were unaware that someone else was observing everything behind them. Jasper casually stole a cargo truck along the way and rested inside. Fortunately, the vehicle owner had not come looking for it yet, making it perfect for him to conceal his identity.
Unlike his image as a dapper gentleman in a suit on the cruise ship, he now appeared like a friendly neighbor. He was wearing a gray cotton shirt he found in the truck and a random sun hat. He transformed himself into a delivery guy, disguising his true identity effectively. His phone vibrated, and he glanced at it before reaching out to answer. ‘Hello.”
“Boss, where are you?” “I’m still on a mission. I won’t be coming back for now.”
“Boss, did you lose track of the target? This is the first time something like this has happened! What’s going on?”
“I’ve encountered a troublesome woman who disrupted my mission,” he replied calmly. “A woman? Wow! There’s a woman by your side. Does that mean you’ll be married soon?”
“Shut up. Wait for my return.” Jasper was about to finish speaking when he saw a slender figure walking out of the hotel lobby.
Who else could it be but Willow? She appeared delicate and petite, surrounded and protected by several six-foot-two-tall bodyguards like a princess. He narrowed his eyes. This girl’s identity seemed far from ordinary. Although many bodyguards were with her, he had to ensure her safety since she was involved in something related to him.. Otherwise, she would become the target of these mercenaries.
Willow sat in the car and absentmindedly opened a link sent by her archaeology teacher. To her great surprise, they had finally found the remains of an ancient civilization they had been searching for.
“Willy, we will organize a secret archaeological expedition when you’re back.”
She replied, “Okay, Mr. Swayze. I can’t wait already!” “There’s no need to rush since I’m still making preparations. You’ll be able to catch up when you’re back.”
“Okay!” She happily sent a smiling face emoji and looked out of the window, enjoying the beauty of the scenery.
Just then, a car suddenly accelerated from behind and rammed into her vehicle. “Ah!” she screamed in fright as the intense impact made her heart race. “Mr. Mooney, what’s happening?”
“Miss, Presgrave, hold on tight. Unidentified vehicles are approaching us.” Dario Mooney immediately stabilized the car and radioed the other two cars in their earpieces. “Quickly stop them. Don’t let them get close to my car. I’ll escort Miss to safety first.”
“You go ahead. We’ll hold them off.” One of the bodyguard’s cars behind them swiftly swerved and intercepted the black car that had just rammed into them. The bodyguards approached to inspect it but found it empty. The car turned out to be automated.
His countenance changed, and he immediately alerted the other members through the earpiece. “Be careful. The vehicle that rammed into me was an automated one. They surely have other tricks up their sleeves. Protect Miss Presgrave at all costs.”
Simultaneously, he did not notice the accelerating truck next to him. Jasper glanced at the opened car door and also saw the automated vehicle. In contrast, he was not surprised at all because these people were a group of highly intelligent criminals with advanced technology. They would do anything to achieve their goals, explaining why he stayed behind to protect Willow.
As her bodyguards were unaware of the capabilities of these opponents, they were bound to make some mistakes even if they were formidable. Once they made a mistake, she would be in grave danger, even risking her life.
Willow’s heart was pounding even though she had encountered such situations before. Who’s chasing me? Did I offend someone? “Don’t be afraid, Miss. There’s a police station up ahead. I’ll drive the car in and request protection from the cops.”
“Okay, Mr. Mooney. Just focus on driving. I’m not scared.” She steadied herself but held onto. her seatbelt tightly, gripping the handle.
A black SUV was escorting a black sedan at high speed on the road. However, the SUV behind them was suddenly hit by the oncoming truck just as they arrived at an intersection before it flipped over. Willow heard the commotion behind her and cried in pain, “Jayden…”
“Miss, hold on tight, Dario spoke in a deep voice. He had to get her to the police station as soon as possible. Understanding that the opponents they encountered this time were not ordinary people, he knew he had to escort her away safely.
As they approached the police station, Dario was about to drive toward it when four or five black SUVS emerged and blocked their way. These vehicles caused a series of accidents, but it was clear that no one was inside when they looked in from the windows. They were automated vehicles that had their systems hacked.
At that point, those vehicles were stationed in their way, completely blocking the road.
Dario quickly realized the situation and shifted. into reverse, backing the car up as he had noticed an alternative road earlier. However, a small truck drove up alongside them, and the window rolled down, revealing the figure of Jasper. He sternly exclaimed, “Hand her over to me.”
Jasper!” Willow was shocked to see him. Why is he here? Dario paid no attention to him because he could not trust anyone with Willow at such a critical point. However, Jasper’s truck swerved, forcing Dario’s car to a stop. He pushed open the door and said, “They’re after Willow because of me. Hand her over to me for her safety.”
“No, she’s our honorable lady. I must ensure her safety,” Dario declared.
“Mr. Mooney, I’m willing to follow him,” Willow piped up. “Miss Presgrave, you can’t.”
“Mr. Mooney, turn back and save Jayden and the others! I’ll be fine.” With that, she exited the car and settled inside a nearby truck.
“Miss…” Dario urgently called out. Jasper turned to him and promised. “Trust me. I’ll ensure her safe return.”
“Okay, I’ll create a diversion for you. Take her and make your way out of here.” Dario resolved to remain behind, maneuvering the car forward. to collide with the unmanned vehicles.
At that point, the road was already filled with traffic and disorder. Disregarding his safety, he swiftly cleared a path by forcefully ramming into two cars while numerous pedestrians rushed forward to the cleared route. Jasper seamlessly blended in with Willow and departed from the scene.
As Dario’s car made its way a short distance, it unexpectedly flipped over. Despite the impact, he managed to stay conscious. He saw a group of men in black squatting on the ground. When they opened the rear door, one cursed, “Sh*t! She’s not here.”
It became evident that these individuals were specifically targeting her and had no intention of harming Dario as they swiftly left the scene.
In the meantime, Jasper had already brought her to a secluded spot in a narrow alley. After a nerve- wracking journey, she finally posed the questions she had been holding back to him. “Why are you here?”
“I figure these individuals might be tracking you.” He then turned to Willow and added, “Get out of the car.”
“They stopped my car just to find you?” She was stunned.
“These individuals are highly skilled criminals. They won’t let anyone who’s had contact with me slip away,” he explained while deftly using a small knife to pry open a car door. Leaning over, he forcefully pulled two wires under the steering wheel and started the engine.
