Tammy froze and asked, “Is he your friend? So you’ve come to see Jayden today?”
“Yeah. Didn’t I just say that?” Dominic asked, winking at her.
“You…” Tammy felt even more humiliated, as she had just called him a jerk. She had no idea he would be on her team.
Alicia was Kevin’s big fan. Because the player in the competition was Jayden, Kevin could only be the substitute player. Alicia appeared upset when she found out Dominic was Jayden’s friend. And she snapped, “You two are both jerks! It’s not surprising that you two are friends!”
“You can call him a jerk, but not me,” Dominic said.
“You stole our contract, and then your friend Jayden stole my idol’s spot in the competition.”
“That’s…”
Because Dominic had just saved her life, Tammy felt she had to speak up for him. Then she chipped in, “Did you get Kevin’s autograph, Alicia? “
“No! I couldn’t find him anywhere.”
Dominic asked, “Would you like to meet him?”
“Of course! Can you tell me where he is?”
“All the substitutes will arrive at the finish line the other way.”
“Kevin is at the finish line? Great! I’m going to find him now.” Alicia exclaimed happily.
“Did you guys drive here?” Dominic asked.
“No,” With a wry smile, Alicia answered.
“I can drive you there.”
“That won’t be necessary,” Tammy replied, shaking her head. She was so embarrassed by what had just happened that she didn’t want to spend any more time with Dominic anymore. “I’m going to call my brother right now and let his driver take us there.” With that, Tammy immediately stood up and gripped the flagpole to keep her balance. She dialed Matthew’s number.
“Hello? Matthew.”
“What’s up?”
“Alicia and I both want to go to the finish line. Can you arrange for your driver to take us there?”
“He’s currently driving me there. My assistant is still at the venue, so I’ll let him…”
Tammy then heard a loud bang. And then she heard something hit the ground. Soon, the phone was disconnected.
“What happened, Matthew? Are you okay?” Tammy asked anxiously over the phone.
“What’s the matter?” Alicia asked the moment she noticed that Tammy was nervous.
“Something happened to my brother!” Tammy said in a panic.
As soon as they arrived at the scene, they saw that the road to the nearby mountain was closed off. The guardrail was shattered, and pieces of the car’s bumper and headlights were scattered on the ground. Tammy kept her fists clenched as she looked down at the cliff, and Alicia stood beside her. Then Dominic approached Tammy and handed her a bottle of water. “Have some water, Tammy. There is still hope for us. Your brother will be alright.”
Tammy did not drink the water. Instead, she stood there as still as a statue. A while later, Many people came to the accident site to help.
“Tammy!” Peace yelled as soon as she stepped out of the car.
Having come back to her senses, Tammy returned her gaze. At the sight of Peace, she threw herself into Peace’s arms and sobbed.
Peace then stroked her hair and comforted her. “I’m so sorry, dear. He’ll be just fine.” At the moment, Peace’s eyes were red as she spoke because she cried the entire way there.
Later, both Karl and Andrew arrived. Looking rather anxious, Karl asked the rescue team, “You guys still can’t find him?”
One of the members of the rescue team shrugged and said, “We can’t go down there by helicopter because the cliff is too deep and the terrain is too complicated. Only the most primitive method, rock climbing, is available. We tried several times, but we all failed. It’s too difficult to climb down there, and the cliff face is covered in ice.”
“So, what are we supposed to do?” Karl asked.
Meanwhile, Tammy couldn’t stop crying, which made Peace even more anxious. She asked the rescuers, “So you’re going to stand here and do nothing the whole time? Then why did you guys come here?”
“Calm down, honey!” Karl immediately said.
“I’m his godmother, and it’s my job to keep him safe. How can I explain to Anna if something happens to Matthew?” Peace started crying.
“Let me do it!” Suddenly, a woman said with determination. Peace stopped crying right away. When she turned around and saw who was coming, her eyes widened. “Emily!”
Emily approached Peace and asked, “Are you all right?”
Tammy cried harder when she saw Emily. She said, “Aunt Emily! Thank God you’re here!”
Emily wiped the tear on Tammy’s face gently. “Don’t cry, sweetie. There are many people here. Your parents would be heartbroken if they knew how sad you were. Don’t worry. I’ll save your brother right now.”
After that, Emily turned around and approached the rescue team at the cliff’s edge. “How’s it going?” she asked.
“His car crashed off the cliff. We couldn’t hold the climbing spikes up because the cliff is icy and slippery. We can only go halfway down the mountain.”
Before starting to remove her jacket, Emily looked at the survey results. “Give me the rescue suit and the rope,” she said.
“What?” the rescue team leader asked, surprised.
“Give it to her,” Ryan commanded. He then showed the team leader his badge.
“Mr. Tyler, hello,” the captain said right away.
“Hello. You can give her the rope now.”
“Got it.”
Emily had been trained as a special forces soldier and excelled at rock climbing. The rescue team members required rock climbing spikes to safely get down this cliff. She was, however, able to go down with her bare hands. The other rescue team members gathered around and stared in awe at Emily. While Emily was climbing down, the data tester kept reporting the length of the rope going down deep. “Twenty meters… Now thirty meters…”
“Captain, who is she? She’s awesome!”
“She’s probably a subordinate of Mr. Tyler,” the captain said, scratching his head.
“Actually, she’s Mr. Tyler’s boss,” Karl explained.
“How come?”
“She’s Mrs. Tyler.”
Hearing that, the captain began shivering. He nervously asked one of his team members, “You just double-checked everything, didn’t you? Are you sure that the ropes are secure?”
