Because Ariana had just unbuckled her seatbelt, she nearly lammed her head against the dashboard from the sudden acceleration.
“I’d suggest you buckle up unless you want a concussion.” Victor huffed
“You!” Ariana fastened her seatbelt without hesitation.
The police hadn’t expected him to break through their blockade.
As soon as Victor sped onto the main road, more patrol cars swarmed in, encircling him again. The sudden roadblock caused a massive traffic jam.
This was the busiest area of the city center. If things escalated, the incident would be all over the news the next day.
Seeing the flashing lights and blaring horns, Ariana knew she was doomed. She regretted ever getting involved
with Victor.
Car horns blared as frustrated drivers honked at Victor’s car, demanding he move. Meanwhile, officers were preparing to force open the car door.
Ariana was nervous. She could only hope this wouldn’t turn into a major media spectacle.
Meanwhile, at Lodge Co.
“What did you say?” Brian thought he had misheard.
Ariana was surrounded by police? That sounded ridiculous. He had never even seen her drive, yet now she was caught in a police blockade?
And in the middle of the city center, no less.
“It’s true, Mr. Lodge,” Emily reported. “Not just Ms. Torrey, Victor Smith is with her.”
Brian’s gaze sharpened at Victor’s name. “Victor Smith?”
“Yes. The situation has blown up. Reporters are already heading there. Should we suppress the news?” Emily asked.
Brian glared at her. “Why are you even asking? Do it immediately!”
He stood up at once. Things would spiral out of control if news got out.
What the hell was Ariana thinking? Did she not realize how serious this was?
At the Police Station, the police chief shot up from his chair “What? Whose car did they block? Ms. Torrey’s?
“Understood! I’ll handle it right away!” After hanging up, the chief didn’t even grab his jacket before rushing out.
“Tell them they can’t use force under any circumstances! I’m on my way.” He barked the order before speeding toward the scene.
The road had turned into utter chaos.
Ariana quickly realized that Victor had done this on purpose
“What exactly are you trying to do?” Her expression darkened. “You’re setting us up. Do you want to make the news?”

Victor smirked. “What if I do?”
“You’re insane! If you want to die, don’t drag me down with you!” Arlana reached for the door handle, only to find it locked.
Meanwhile, a traffic officer received a phone call. Just as he was about to force open the car door, he stopped.
Confused drivers remained stuck in place, growing more inpatient.
Moments later, a police car arrived at the scene.
“Sir! That’s the car! We have no idea what got into the driver. First, he went into a restricted area, then he ignored warnings and plowed through…” the officer reported.
