Abel soon came to a realization of something, and his expression changed dramatically.

“Damn it! Miss Simmons, get out of the car now!”

Without hesitation, the three of them opened the doors and rushed out of the vehicle.

Immediately they got out of the car, it exploded with a deafening bang.

The force of the blast sent them flying backwards by at least six feet.

After the explosion, the debris from the car flew in every direction, and Lucinda was unfortunate enough to have a piece graze her right shoulder.

The intense pain quickly spread from the shoulder bone to the Limbs.

Blood trickled down her arm.

Abel and Rickey were alarmed.

They quickly rose to assess her condition.

“I was careless and now you are hurt.

I’m so sorry.

” Abel slapped himself in the face remorsefully.

Lucinda winced in pain but reassured him, “It’s not your fault.

Don’t blame yourself.

The explosion of the car made it clear that it was rigged with a time bomb beforehand.

It suddenly dawned on Lucinda why Eleanor had attacked her at the charity party.

Eleanor knew she couldn’t harm Lucinda directly, so she publicly humiliated her to lure out her bodyguards.

From there, whoever was helping her had the chance to tamper with Lucinda’s car.

“Why are you just standing there? We need to get her to the hospital immediately!” Rickey backed at Abel.

Together, they lifted Lucinda up and took a few steps before they heard the sound of rushed and strong footsteps approaching them.

A group of tall men dressed in black suits wielding machetes appeared.

They were clearly skilled fighters.

The dim street lamps and gloomy night created a sinister atmosphere full of the intent to kill.

The road on both sides of Crane Bridge was blocked.

Abel, Rickey, and Lucinda were encircled in the middle of the bridge.

Abel and Rickey formed a protective barrier around Lucinda, each keeping an eye on the approaching killers from opposite sides.

Lucinda scanned through the people on the bridge and was surprised to find about twenty on each side.

She smirked.

“I didn’t think he would give me such a generous gift.
