Chapter 620 The Truth of the Car Accident

Jessica remained silent. After a moment, she grabbed Benjamin's hand.

"If he's back, that's another reason for you to help me get out of Pamore. Otherwise, if Grace finds out... Don't you love her? Aren't you afraid?"

Benjamin's expression was unexpectedly calm. He grabbed Jessica's hand and shook it off. "Isn't Pamore a good place?"

"What do you mean?"

"Instead of hiding and running around, why not let Alexander leave Pamore? Isn't that better?"

Jessica frowned, looking at him incredulously.

"How is that possible? He works for the government! And even if he leaves, his people won't let me go."

"My power in Pamore is enough to hide you." Benjamin had his own considerations.

"There's only one way to get Alexander out." Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

"What?"

"Create a more serious case related to him."

Benjamin sat down. "I need to know why Brodie helped you."

Jessica didn't want to say, but at this critical moment, she had no other choices.

"Can I trust you, Benjamin?"

At her words, he smiled and shrugged. "Other than me, do you have any other choices? Like you said, we're in this together."

After some contemplation, she took a deep breath. "I saved him."

"When?"

"At the time of the car accident."

Jessica remembered that at that time, the relationship between the Hawkins and the Quines was still good. She knew about Alexander.

When she was traveling in Coronia, she saw a familiar figure on the street.

"Benjamin?" She ran up and patted the person's shoulder.

The person was wearing a leather jacket and seemingly waiting for something. With his sharp eyes, he glanced at her.

"You've got the wrong person."

"But you're... " Danielle suddenly realized something. "Oh, you're Alexander, right?"

Alexander squinted his eyes. Just as he was about to retort, a bullet shot over. Swiftly, he pressed Danielle down. "Get down!"

What followed was intense fighting. Alexander directly took her into the car. "Fasten your seatbelt!"

Danielle cried in fear. "Who are they?"

"Criminals."

Alexander drove fast, but the gang behind them was faster.

They recklessly collided with Alexander's car. He picked up a walkie-talkie and said, "We have a situation. I'm exposed. Request backup!"

He circled the city for half an hour, but there was no response.

When they reached the bridge, the pursuers ruthlessly crashed into Alexander's car. He stepped on the gas, colliding with the other vehicle.

In the end, both cars overturned and fell into the river.

Alexander was prepared and had lowered the car window in advance. In the panic, Danielle saw his blood flowing into the water. Following him, she struggled to climb out of the car window.

The river flowed swiftly, sending several of them far away. When they reached downstream, a local gang rescued them. Alexander and Danielle were disfigured and unconscious.

The person in the other car at that time was Brodie. He woke up with Danielle, who was terrified. "Don't even think about running. You have to take responsibility for this! I'll call the police!"

"Police? Do you know where we are now? In the hands of a gang! Can your phone even make a call?"

Danielle was terrified.

Brodie directly knelt in front of her. "I've checked. There's an exit nearby, but only one person can go through. You help me divert their attention, and I'll go out to find help for you."

"Why should I trust you?"

"You can only trust me now! Alexander is unconscious, and you're not familiar with the road. Can you go out alive?"

Danielle hesitated for a long time.

"Please, I have a wife who's about to give birth. Let me go, and I'll owe you this favor for a lifetime."
