CHAPTERS 675 - 677
CHAPTER 675
"Jane, are you both alright?" Edwin was driving while examining Jane and Janell's situation in the rearview mirror.
"We're fine," Jane said. When Jane hit the door, she protected her belly instinctively. Fortunately, she just hit her shoulder and nothing happened to her and the child.
Janell was sitting in a child car seat. When the car made a quick turn, her arm was strangled and turned red, but she was fine.
"Daddy, I'm fine!" Janell said to remind her father of her presence.
"Good girl!" Edwin's voice was much softer, and he said, "Baby, we will play a very exciting game together. Sit down properly with mommy. Don't be afraid."
"Daddy, I am brave! I am not afraid!" Janell was young. When her father said that he was playing a game, she believed that it was a game.
However, she did not know that there was a life-and-death "game" waiting for them.
"Jane.." As Edwin sped up, he glanced at Jane from the rearview mirror. "Something is wrong. Please buckle your seat belt with Janell and stay in your seat. Don't be afraid, I'm here."
"Edwin, drive carefully. Don't worry about us. I will take care of Janell."
Edwin had been driving steadily all the time. Since he had suddenly made such a big turn, there had to be something wrong.
She didn't know what had happened, but she believed that Edwin could handle it. What she had to do was to protect herself and Janell, so that Edwin would have nothing to worry about.
"Janell, sit tight. I will speed up now." Edwin turned the steering wheel, and the car got on the fast lane on the right side.
Jane finally knew what was going on. It turned out that there were a few cars following them and rushing towards them fearlessly.
Just now, they were suddenly besieged. If it weren't for Edwin's sharp vision and hearing, their car would have been bumped into the moat when they had just made a quick turn.
Jane looked at Edwin worriedly. Her eyes met Edwin's in the rearview mirror. In such an urgent situation, Edwin had to lose the cars following them and at the same time, checked on Janell and herself from the rearview mirror from time to time. He could not let anything happen to them.
The two's eyes met in the rearview mirror. Seconds after, Edwin looked away and paid full attention to the situation around him. Seeing that Edwin was so calm, Jane's heart slowly returned to its original state.
She told herself not to worry. She believed that Edwin would definitely overcome the danger.
At this moment, Jane saw a car driving from the opposite direction, heading straight towards their car. There were pursuers at the front and behind them.
They had surrounded their car. If they were to clash together, even if Edwin's car was an expensive Ferrari, they would not be able to escape the fate of being smashed into pieces.
The situation got more and more dangerous. Jane clenched her fists and was so nervous that she had her heart in her mouth.
"Daddy, come on!" Janell firmly believed that her father was playing games with them, so she was not afraid at all.
"Janell, sit tight. Daddy is speeding up!" Under such a tense situation, Edwin calmly turned the steering wheel from left to right and then stepped on the gas pedal at maximum.
With a whistling sound, the car Edwin was driving, brushed past the incoming car. Sparks flew in all directions.
Edwin successfully avoided the car coming head-on from the opposite direction and drove away. But the car could not control its speed. It continued to charge forward and collided with the cars chasing after Edwin.
The car collided head on with the three cars pursuing Edwin's car. The impact sent the car flying and then landed heavily on the ground.
The car was a total loss, and the driver clad in heavy security gear was thrown out from the car. He fell from a few meters high to the ground. The driver twitched a bit before he lay completely motionless. He had stopped breathing.
This collision had caused serious damage to the other cars that were pursuing Edwin. When they tried to catch up with Edwin again, his car had gone far.
At this time, a group of cars rushed over and soon captured the vehicles and the people in them who were after Edwin.
"You and you are responsible for escorting Chairman Carter. Then you and the rest, take these people back." The leader ordered.
Fortunately, their master was alright, otherwise, they would be in big trouble.
After his men arrived, Edwin slowed down the car and returned to their residence soon. Edwin got out of the car and immediately checked Jane and Janell's situation.
"Janell, the game is over. Tell me, do you feel any discomfort?"
Janell shook her little head and then nodded. "Daddy. although I don't feel any discomfort, I still want to play."
Not knowing the situation, Janell innocently thought that someone was playing bumper cars with them just now. It was really fun.
"You are amazing!" Edwin praised her sincerely. She was indeed his daughter. She was fearless and wasn't terrified by the speeding car at such a young age. Instead, she happily told him that she still wanted to play.
"Yes, our baby Janell is really great." Jane pinched Janell's face. Just now, she was so scared that her heart was in her mouth. On the other hand, her daughter was able to keep a straight face.
After praising her daughter, Edwin looked at Jane. His eyes were affectionate and somewhat pleased.
"Jane, you are also great!"
"Ah.. how am I great?" Jane was embarrassed by Edwin's praise, and she looked away.
"You're great in every aspect!" In such a dangerous situation, Jane knew how to protect herself, the baby in her belly, and Janell, so that he would not have to worry about them.
That was why he was able to completely lose the enemy and get home safely.
"I didn'.." Jane was really embarrassed to be praised by him.
"You are both great!" Edwin unbuckled Janell's seat belt, picked her up, and went around to the right side of the carnto open the door for Jane.
Jane stretched out her leg to get out of the car, but she felt a sharp pain in her stomach. "Edwin, my.. my belly hurts, I don't know..."
Thinking that she might have hurt the baby just now, Jane was so anxious that she could not complete her sentence.
"What's wrong?" Edwin was more anxious than her if it was anything related to her. He put Janell on the ground and picked Jane up.
"My belly hurts, it's still hurting.." Jane said nervously. Jane didn't notice the pain in her belly just now, probably because she was too tense.
Right now, she felt a surge of pain in her belly, which made her break out in cold sweat.
"Jane, don't be afraid. You will be fine." Edwin picked up Jane and strode into the house. "Janell, keep up with us."
Janell ran after her father, but she was still too young. Even though she tried her best, she still couldn't keep up with her father's pace..
CHAPTER 676
Edwin Carter rushed into the room and gently put Jane on the bed. "Jane, lie down. I'll ask the doctor to come over right away."
"Okay!" Jane lay flat on the bed cautiously and dared not move. She was worried that she might hurt the baby in her belly if she moved.
"Don't be afraid, everything will be fine. You are brave, and our baby is strong too." Edwin rubbed Jane's head and comforted her.
"Okay, I'm not afraid!" She was not afraid at all because he was with them.
"Good girl!" Edwin immediately called the doctor using his mobile phone and requested the doctor to attend to Jane quickly.
"Edwin , don't worry." Jane put her hand into Edwin's big palm. "I don't feel much pain now. I don't know if it's because the baby was tired after sitting in the car for too long and there's not much space inside the car. That's why he bothered me. Now that I can stretch, he has stopped bothering me now."
It could be.because Edwin was with her, or that her stomach really didn't hurt anymore. Jane looked better now.
"It's good that it doesn't hurt now, but don't move now. We'll wait.for the doctor to come and see what's going on." Edwin would not be relieved until he was certain that Jane was alright
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Jane nodded obediently, she took Edwin's hand, and said, "The people who besieged us earlier, do you think they.were sent by Ed Yates?"
Yesterday, they received a call from Ed Yates. Today, they were being assaulted. Jane couldn't think of anyone else except Ed Yates.
But for Edwin, there were too many people who wanted to take revenge on him. Now that there was no news yet from his men, he didn't know who was the culprit today.
He had dominated the business world for many years. Many had received benefits because of him, but of course, there were some who suffered loss because of him.
Many people who couldn't get any benefit from him were offended and humiliated. Over the years, there were a lot of people who wanted to get rid of him secretly. There were many people who wanted to get rid of him, but almost no one could really hurt him.
Not only had he arranged men around him, but he had been practicing martial arts since he was a child. It was not easy to deal with him.
"I will handle it. Don't worry." Edwin's men would investigate these matters. He did not want Jane to worry.
However, he did not know that the more he kept from Jane, the more worried she would be. Jane would only be at peace if he told her everything.
"Edwin, didn't you promise me that you will discuss everything with me?" It had only been a short time, and this man had forgotten his promise to her.
"I still don't know who the culprit is. Wait till my subordinates find out who did this then I will tell you." Edwin sat down beside Jane and held her face, then gently kissed her.
"Jane, as long as you stay by my side, no one can do anything to me." In the business world, there were often conflicts of interests. There were too many people who wanted to create accidents for him, but it didn't matter, he could deal with them easily.
Jane blushed and said, "You must be more careful from now onwards. Don't let your guard down. Don't forget that you're not alone. You still have me and our children."
"Yes." Edwin kissed her forehead and said, "You've made progress."
"What?" Jane asked in a daze.
"I'm complimenting you." Edwin was very happy, Jane had finally opened herself up.
"Where's Janell?" They had been upstairs for a while, but the little fella hadn't come yet.
"I'm here! I'm not happy!" Sitting on the floor outside the room, Janell pouted and said angrily. As soon as her parents reconciled with each other, they had forgotten about her.
Jane felt a little abandoned! Mommy was Daddy's most important treasure. She was not their most important treasure.
Daddy and mommy were both big liars Humph... She wanted to grow up quickly to find Brother Lucas. She would definitely be Brother Lucas' most important treasure. No one could compete with her.
"What happened, Janell?" Looking at the angry little fella, Edwin picked her up and flicked on her face.
"I don't want to talk to you!" She was still angry, so she decided to ignore her father.
"You really don't want to talk to me?" Edwin pretended to be sad.
"Of course I want to!" Janell could not bear to see her father sad.
"Then let's make up." Edwin said while smiling gently.
"Okay!" Janell threw herself into her father's arms. She had forgotten about the unpleasant things just now.
Jane reached out and rubbed Janell's head. She thought, soon, their second child would be born, and then her children would be able to get along well with each other.
When the time came, they would have three children. Their home would be very lively, and Edwin's parents would be happy.
Thinking of these, the corners of Jane's mouth lifted slightly and she smiled. It felt good when she stopped worrying. And she believed that as long as they were together, nothing could hurt them.
"What are you thinking about?" Edwin's deep voice interrupted Jane's train of thought. She shook her head and gave him a bright smile.
"I'm thinking about you and the children."
"Silly!" Edwin held Jane in one hand and Janell in the other. Even though he had just experienced danger, he didn't take those things seriously because he had Jane and Janell with him.
The doctor came quickly and gave Jane a checkup. She had only experienced a fright, the child was fine.
"Chairman Carter, the Yates Family's situation has deteriorated to an unprecedented state. As long as we put more pressure on them, soon they will not be able to hold on."
Recently, Luis George would report the situation of the Yates family in the country to Edwin on the phone every day.
"Good!" Edwin replied calmly. He had no expression on his face, and no one knew his opinion. "Chairman Carter.."
After a pause, Luis continued, "The Yates family will not resist for a long time, and Ed is missing at this critical moment. There is no trace of him in the country, nor is there any record of him leaving the country. At present, we don't know where he is, and the situation is a little tricky."
"He's in the United States." Edwin gave Luis an answer.
When the Yates family was in trouble, Ed could never sit still and wait. He would definitely think of a way to fight back..
So Ed had to be the mastermind of their attack yesterday. Edwin had guessed that it was Ed Yates, and the news from his subordinates showed that it was also Ed Yates' doing.
The double news confirmed that Ed Yates was in the United States. After so many years, he didn't expect that Ed Yates still hadn't made any progress when he employed people to do things.
If he wanted to attack him, he had to at least find a few qualified racing drivers, who were more capable in all aspects.
Instead Ed Yates had sent useless men with a weak attack!.
CHAPTER 677
Ed Yates might have forgotten that when Edwin Carter was still in university, he was already the superior racing driver of the VBE Racing Club.
At a certain professional racing competition, he had won triple gold medals and became famous in the racing industry at that time.
Later, after graduating from the university, Edwin officially took charge of Shengtian, and withdrew from the VBE Racing Club.
Although he had withdrawn from the VBE Racing Club, his reputation was still there, and many juniors regarded him as their super idol. Because until now, no one in the VBE Racing Club had broken his record of three consecutive gold medals. When they talked about Leon Carter from back then, everyone still admired him very much.
Ed Yates had found some people to block his car. In the end, like yesterday, he was only looking for defeat. "Ed Yates has gone to the States?"
Luis George asked himself. At the same time, he wiped his cold sweat and wailed in his heart, "It's over, it's over. That man has gone to the United States. Chairman Carter's wife and daughter whom he cares about the most are there now."
Their almighty Chairman Carter had left the work at Shengtian and gone to the United States to accompany his wife and daughter. One could imagine how important they were to him.
If the two of them were to be in harm's way because of Ed Yates, he could lose his job and probably his life too. The more Luis thought about it, the more scared he felt, as if his own life would soon be ended too!
For a while, there was a silence on the phone when Luis was thinking of such nonsense. Edwin had always been a person with few words. He was the one listening to the report.
However, Luis on the other end did not speak for a long time. Edwin frowned and coughed a little to remind him. "Chairman Carter, I'm still here!"
Hearing Chairman Carter's cough, Luis came to his senses almost immediately. He was in a daze when he was on the phone with Chairman Carter.
He was doomed. He felt so pitiful! He had been with Chairman Carter for at least more than ten years. If he were to be transferred away from Chairman Carter's side or being punished because of this.. Then he would be just too unlucky!
However, Edwin stopped talking again. Luis wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and continued, "Chairman Carter, next, we have to... "
Before he could finish his words, Edwin interrupted him and said, "You stay in Jiangbei to deal with the Yates Group. I want to see the Yates family's downfall in the shortest time possible."
Handling the Yates Group was a huge deal, but Edwin's tone remained calm as if he was dealing with a matter that was not worth mentioning.
"Yes, I will strive to complete the task," Luis replied respectfully.
"Luis , you have been with me for many years. You should know my character very well and what kind of person I dislike." After that, Edwin hung up the phone.
Luis was stunned for a while after the busy tone. It seemed that Chairman Carter was not very pleased with his moment of distraction. Chairman Carter was warning him that if there was a next time, he would really be finished.
With his mobile phone still in hand, Luis looked at Hal Barnes, who was sitting beside him, and said sullenly, "We are Chairman Carter's two most important assistants. This time, neither of us followed him to the United States. Don't you worry at all?"
"We are his assistants no doubt. Usually, when he wants to do something, he will give us the orders, but he doesn't only have us two assistants."
Compared to Luis, who was worried about this and that, Hal was more relaxed. He didn't need to be on his toes because Chairman Carter wasn't around.
"You are so at ease." Luis glared at Hal discontentedly. He walked to the coffee table and sat down. Then he picked up a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.
"It is inconvenient for Chairman Carter to do things when we are not around him." Hal said, "Special Assistant Luis, have you been with Chairman Carter for too many years that you only listen to Chairman Carter's instructions, and you aren't able to judge things on your own anymore."
Luis asked, "What do you mean?"
Hal added, "Don't forget that Shengtian's largest base is in New York. Ed Yates has only chosen to attack Chairman Carter in New York out of desperation. Otherwise, he wouldn't have shot himself in the foot."
What Hal said was not out of Luis' expectation, but he had been with Edwin for more than ten years and had never been away from him for such a long time. It was natural for him to feel unsettled.
Luis sighed and said, "I don't know what Ed Yates' thinking about. I only know that I hope Chairman Carter will come back soon. If he is not here, I am not at ease."
Hal smiled and said, "Lucky I'm the one listening. If you were to say it to the others, they may think that there is something between you and Chairman Carter."
"We are all men. What can there be between us?" Luis said grumpily.
"Now the friendship between men can be pure and platonic... but who knows if anything has happened between you and Chairman Carter?"
As soon as he said this, Hal felt that he had made a big mistake and quickly covered his mouth. Hal was just pulling Luis' leg, but he had ignored another important character in his joke - Chairman Carter.
Even if it was just Luis and him at this moment, Hal had goosebumps all over his body.
"Special Assistant Luis, I was just kidding. Don't take it seriously, and don't let Chairman Carter know what I've just said."
Luis said in a serious manner, "Hal, just because Chairman Carter is not here, doesn't mean you can talk nonsense. If Chairman Carter hears this, you and I may be transferred away immediately!"
After Sienna Henry incident, Edwin had transferred away all of his female assistants and secretaries to prevent any unwanted rumours from happening.
Their director had always done things decisively. Be it at work or his private life, every decision Edwin made was clear.
If Edwin didn't want to marry the woman, he wouldn't even have the idea of dating her. If he wanted to marry the woman, he would even save on the process of dating, and go directly to the Civil Affairs Bureau with the woman to register for marriage.
"I was just ranting to you. This time please keep it a secret for me. I won't talk nonsense anymore."
The words he said couldn't be taken back. Hal only hoped that luck would be at his side and that Chairman Carter wouldn't hear about it.
Thinking of Chairman Carter's hostile look, Hal couldn't help but quiver. How could there be such a big difference between Chairman Carter and him.
In front of his subordinates, Hal was also arrogant and cold like Chairman Carter. But why couldn't he achieve the same intimidating effect as Chairman Carter?
Luis said again, "Let's work hard together and finish the affairs of Yates Group in the morning. I also hope that Chairman Carter and his wife will reconcile soon so that we will have easier lives."
Chairman Carter would be particularly nervous about everything related to his wife. Naturally, his subordinates would not have easy days too. He only hoped that in the future, Chairman Carter and his family would be harmonious, and then everything would be fine....
