Chapter 46\u00a0<\/p>\n
Logan slammed hard on the brakes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sloane lurched forward when the car stopped, then was yanked violently back into her seat by\u00a0<\/p>\n
the seatbelt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her mind was in a complete daze as the fruit in her hands scattered all over the floor. Instinctively, she immediately protected her stomach.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seated in the back, Diana was startled by the sudden movement as well \u201cWhat happened?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Logan said nothing as he reached for the phone he\u2019d left on the center console earlier, his expression dark.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Sloane had been feeding Logan fruit just now, she\u2019d caught a glimpse of Vivian sitting in a car with a man. However, she just wasn\u2019t certain.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She said, \u201cLogan, that person just now\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
When she saw his reaction, she instantly understood. \u201cThat was Vivian, wasn\u2019t it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Logan didn\u2019t respond, phone in hand. He dialed Vivian\u2019s number while he still steered the car with one hand, making a sharp turn to chase after the other car.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the other car, Vivian had felt nauseated for a while after what she\u2019d seen earlier and didn\u2019t want to look out the window again. She turned her head to watch Kingston play his game\u00a0<\/p>\n
instead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, she witnessed the man\u2019s utterly painful\u2013to\u2013watch gameplay, and she couldn\u2019t help\u00a0<\/p>\n
clicking her tongue.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Despite his earphones, Kingston seemed to hear the sound and looked up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Their eyes met.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian hadn\u2019t had the time to wipe the look of disdain from her face before she was caught red\u00a0<\/p>\n
-handed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kingston said, \u201cYou think you\u2019re that good?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian smiled, \u201cI wouldn\u2019t say I\u2019m that good.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She tried to be a bit modest, then felt like she shouldn\u2019t undersell herself too much and added softly, \u201cBut, I\u2019m probably a little better than you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
X CLOSE\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 46\u00a0<\/p>\n
2\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n
After all, Kingston seemed to be frighteningly capable of embarrassing her. She still remembered the last time she\u2019d boldly bragged, only for her to fail shortly after.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kingston looked at her without saying a word.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The silence lasted only a moment before Vivian\u2019s phone suddenly rang. She hurriedly picked it up and glanced at the screen. When she saw Logan\u2019s name, she immediately pressed the\u00a0<\/p>\n
volume key and set her phone to silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There was a flash of annoyance in Vivian\u2019s eyes. All she felt was irritation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Logan must have seen her just now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As she was thinking about how to deal with it, another phone suddenly appeared in her hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kingston said, \u201cLet me see exactly how much \u2018a little better\u2018 really is.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kingston looked at her with open skepticism, instantly igniting her competitive spirit.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When her in\u2013game character respawned, Vivican no longer had the time to care about Logan\u2019s\u00a0<\/p>\n
call and focused on the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n
O\u00a0<\/p>\n
They were at a disadvantage, so she had to be fully concentrated. She was afraid that a single mistake would let the enemy win.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The driver noticed a car following closely behind them and glanced at the rearview mirror.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mr. Howard\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kingston replied, \u201cLose him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGot it!\u201d Vivian answered before the driver could, deftly maneuvering her character to evade the enemy\u2019s pursuit.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kingston watched her play and raised an eyebrow slightly. The corner of his lips curved into a faint, almost imperceptible smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The driver caught sight of this through the rearview mirror and smiled as well. Then, he silently accelerated and shook off the car behind them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When he saw the car ahead speed up, Logan accelerated too, running several red lights in a\u00a0<\/p>\n
row.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sloane clutched her seatbelt tightly in terror. The tension caused a dull, aching pain in her abdomen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Already showing signs of a threatened miscarriage, her face was now deathly pale. \u201cLogan, my stomach\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
X CLOSE\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 46\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShut up!\u201d Logan snapped, irritated beyond belief.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If he hadn\u2019t been mistaken earlier, the man sitting beside Vivian was Kingston Howard.\u00a0<\/p>\n
How did she know Kingston?\u00a0<\/p>\n
And why was she refusing to answer his calls?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Logan felt a deep sense of rage, as if everything was slipping completely out of his control.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He stomped on the accelerator again and again. Just as he was about to catch up, the other car suddenly turned, veering off to a side road.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He turned around to follow, but the car ahead had already vanished without a trace.\u00a0<\/p>\n
