?Chapter 76:


    “Sir, do you think Norton might turn back halfway?”


    Edmond scoffed. “Halfway? He might not even make it past the driveway. I’m not taking any risks with him.”


    The butler gave a quick nod and set off to carry out the instructions.


    Outside, Norton’s face was cold and stiff, his whole presence giving off a chilling aura.


    If Yvonne were to be honest, walking alongside Norton made her feel unbearably awkward.


    So as soon as they reached the front gates, she turned to him and said, “I know you don’t really want to see me off, which is fine. You’ve done your duty. You may go now.”


    Norton slowly cocked his head to the side to look her in the eyes.


    She was taken aback, despite herself. She hadn’t asked him to see her off in the first ce, so why was he acting so pissy?


    After a moment of tense silence, she decided to exin herself. “I swear, I didn’t mean to force you into doing anything. I ran into Edmond by ident; I didn’t expect him to be there.”


    That was all there was to it. She had told her side. Whether he believed her or not was his problem.


    Still, Norton said nothing. He just kept staring at her, his tall frame seemingly more imposing in the night.


    “Don’t worry, I won’t tell Edmond,” Yvonne added before turning to leave.


    She hadn’t even taken two steps forward when a hand grabbed her wrist.


    The next thing she knew, Norton was stuffing her into the car and pressing her into the passenger seat. His movements were quick and smooth, leaving her at an utter loss. She didn’t even have time to react when he moved again. He suddenly leaned in, his chiseled features highlighted by the car’s interior light. His warm breath fanned her cheeks, making her ears tingle.

    “What are you…?” Yvonne started to say before Norton reached over and grabbed her seatbelt.


    Then came the crisp sound of the seatbelt clicking into ce, snapping Yvonne back to her senses.


    Like a fool, she had misread the situation again. As if Norton would change his personality out of nowhere.


    They drove in silence for ten whole minutes before Norton nced at the rearview mirror. His lips curled into a disdainful smirk.


    A car had been tailing them since they left Edmond’s ce. It kept a fair distance—not too close or too far—and went at a steady pace. Just as Norton had anticipated, his grandpa was always a step ahead.


    Without any warning, Norton made a sharp turn and circled the other car. He rolled his window down and gave its driver a little wave before speeding off in a different direction.


    His driving skills were exceptional, and coupled with his boldness, it took him less than a few minutes topletely lose their tail.


    The roads were dark, and the night waste. There was no way the other car would be able to catch up to them.
