Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 1274 Tristan Was in Trouble

Annika had just hung up when their ride got boxed in. They were deep in royal turf, and no matter how fast they gunned it, the soldiers were always gonna catch up. A swarm of military trucks closed in from all sides, trapping Sadie's convoy.

"What now?" Jessica freaked out. "They took our weapons, and we can't take on this many guys."

"We'll smash through," Arya snarled, eyes hard as steel. "I don't think they have the guts to kill us."

"Duke Louis seemed chill, but who knew he was such a savage," Annika muttered, frowning. "Ms. James, what's the plan?"

"Break through," Sadie said coldly, eyes locked ahead. "If they nab us again, it won't be a friendly chat."

"They really got the nerve," Annika snapped. "Aren't they scared Mr. James will come for them later?"

Just then, her phone buzzed. It was Jesse. "News from Country E," he said, voice urgent. "Mr. James is in deep trouble."

"What?" Annika gasped, shocked. "What happened to Mr. James?"

"Rumor is, Mr. James got blown up at sea," Jesse's voice cracked, like he couldn't believe it himself.

"No way," Annika felt her blood run cold, her body freezing up.

Chaos erupted inside the car, everyone freaking out like the world was ending.

"Duke Louis probably heard too. He won't let Ms. James go easy. I'm bringing backup. Don't go head-to-head. Stall for time," Jesse warned. "Got it," Annika replied.

After hanging up, the bodyguards looked at Sadie, eyes wide with hope. "Ms. James, Mr. James can't be in trouble, right? This news has to be fake, right?"

Sadie gripped her phone tight, staring down in silence.

Just a minute ago, she got word from Terry that Tristan was in trouble.

She was still in shock, refusing to believe it, feeling like none of this was real, absolutely not real.

"Ms. James..." Annika's words got cut off by a sudden gunshot. Dozens of soldiers jumped out of their trucks, guns aimed at them. One soldier shouted, "Ms. James, get out of the car and come with us."

Sadie looked at them calmly, but inside, she was a mess. With Tristan in trouble, all their enemies were coming out of the woodwork for revenge.

The Louis family, especially, couldn't let it go and wanted her dead.

"What do we do?" Annika asked, looking at Sadie.

"The James family would rather die than bow down," Sadie said calmly. "Arya, it's on you!"

"Got it, I'll take them on," Arya responded.

Arya gripped the wheel tight, ready to floor it any second.

"Don't resist," the other side warned, guns trained on the car. "Mr. James is already in trouble. Duke Louis ordered that if you resist, you'll be killed without mercy!" Sadie sneered inside, 'So, they toss you aside once you're no longer useful.'

"They're such scumbags," Annika growled through gritted teeth.

"I'll count to three," Sadie whispered. "Then we charge. One!"

Arya was ready, foot hovering over the gas pedal.

"Two!"

Arya started pressing down, the engine roaring to life.

"Three!"

As soon as the word left her mouth, the car shot forward like a bat out of hell.

The men in black were ready, but they didn't expect the car to be that fast.

They scrambled back, firing at the car in a panic.

With Arya's driving skills, breaking through would've been a breeze, but they were already surrounded by military SUVs.

Arya's car rammed an SUV, creating a gap, but the men quickly closed in again, shooting at their tires.
