She had no idea that a black Bentley had been following them all the way.
At this moment, it was lurking quietly in the dark night, like a wild beast ready to strike at any time. Inside the car sat Matteo and Cornell.
The depressing atmosphere in the car was so tense.
Matteo’s forehead was covered with layers of sweat. He felt he had been sitting on pins and needles.
For the first time in his life, he had a deep understanding of being restless.
They had been following Henley’s car from his place to the Crystal Bay. As soon as Henley pulled over, they saw him kiss Audrey before she got out of the car. This scene enraged Cornell even more.
Judging from Cornell’s scowl, Matteo started to think Cornell would smash the car with his bare hands out of fury.
At this time, Audrey had already gotten out of the car, and Henley had just gotten into the driver’s seat. However, Cornell didn’t do anything yet, which further Matteo’s unease. He didn’t dare to move or make a sound.
After all, he knew that silence was the prelude of a storm.
At this moment, Cornell, in the back seat, suddenly ordered in a harsh and cold voice, “Get out of the car.”
“Mr. Clement?”
Before Matteo could realize what was going on, he was already pulled out of the car, and Cornell replaced him in the driver’s seat.
Matteo was left with no choice but to watch Cornell through the car window. Cornell’s face was as attractive as a painting. But it was hard to tell his plans after taking the driver’s seat from his expression, though his eyes were full of fierceness.
Before Matteo could recover from the shock, another shocking thing happened.
A loud bang almost broke his eardrums.
It broke through the silent, dark night.
It turned out that Cornell’s black Bentley rushed out like a cheetah and crashed into the gray Mercedes-Benz without hesitation.
The airbag inflated after the collision.
The rear of the gray Mercedes-Benz was smashed. It was pushed forward for more than two hundred meters, and it didn’t stop until it hit the railing.
Fortunately, the car had an advanced driver-assistance system.
Otherwise, it would have turned over.
Contrary to the gray Mercedes-Benz, the black Bentley didn’t suffer any major damage. Only the front bumper fell off.
Everything happened too fast.
Audrey was too stunned to move. Her hands and feet were cold and sweating profusely. Her legs were so weak that she felt she couldn’t stand.
At this moment, the distorted door of the Mercedes-Benz opened.
Then Henley got out slowly. While he staggered, he reached out and touched his forehead. Blood flowed out from the back of his hand. It was hard to tell where it exactly came from.
After a few seconds, Audrey finally recovered from the shock. She rushed to Henley and held his arm, wanting to say something.
However, her hands and lips were still trembling. She couldn’t utter even a single word.
When Henley saw Audrey’s pale face, he touched the back of her hand to comfort her.
He forced a smile and said, “Audrey, calm down, okay? I’m fine.
Don’t worry about me.”
The only visible injury on Henley’s body was the scratches on his arm caused by the shattered glass during the violent impact. No one knew whether he had any other injuries.
At this moment, the door of the Bentley was also opened.
Cornell got out and walked toward them with a cold expression. And when he saw Audrey and Henley hand in hand, his face darkened.
He ordered overbearingly, “Audrey, come here!”
However, Audrey didn’t move. She looked at him with a bloodless face and shouted indignantly, “Cornell, what is going on with you? Are you out of your mind?”
However, Cornell was already fuming with anger. He suddenly pulled Audrey to his side without saying anything.
Then he looked at Henley and said coldly, “I told you to stay away from my wife, but you didn’t listen to me. You’re courting death.”
Every word he said was full of killing intent.
Henley looked extremely pale because of the crash. But there was no trace of fear on his face at all. He met Cornell’s eyes and asked in a low voice, “Do you really care about Audrey?”
“Does it have anything to do with you, huh? Henley Brooks, don’t think I won’t kill you because your family is related to my grandmother. Audrey is my woman. If this happens again, I won’t be as good-tempered as today.”
Cornell’s cold eyes were as sharp as a knife. He glared at Henley and Audrey fiercely as if his gaze could sever the connection between them.
Audrey was a little surprised. She didn’t expect that Cornell and Henley were distant relatives. However, it was not what mattered now.
For her, what Cornell did was really insane and unreasonable.
At the thought of this, she pushed Cornell hard.
“Cornell, you are going too far!”
Cornell was caught off guard and staggered half a step back.
Then Audrey went over to support Henley. She looked at him with eyes full of concern and asked worriedly, “Henley, are you okay? I’ll take you to the hospital.”
But Henley refused and comforted her, “Don’t worry, I’m fine. Aside from the little scratches on my arm, everything else is fine. I don’t need to go to the hospital.”
While watching the interaction between Henley and Audrey, anger surged in Cornell’s heart. He felt the urge to skin Henley alive at this very moment.
“Audrey, come here!”
His chilly voice sounded terrifying.
Audrey didn’t want to talk with Cornell anymore. She thought he had really gone out of his mind. She was worried about Henley’s condition, so she adjusted her expression and patiently explained, “Cornell, Henley is only taking me home. Do you really need to…”
But before she could finish her words, Cornell suddenly pulled her hard into his arms and bit her lips. It was as if he was punishing her.
“Hmm…
Audrey froze, and her eyes widened in shock.
Cornell must really be crazy! How could he do this to her in front of Henley?
Audrey struggled desperately. But Cornell’s grip was too firm, locking her hands and waist firmly. And the more she struggled, the crazier he was.
It was as if Cornell didn’t care about anyone or anything around them. His kiss went even fiercer. The tip of his tongue penetrated her mouth forcefully. She felt like her lips were about to be crushed by his intense kiss.
Even Matteo, who had been watching from the side, felt too awkward to see them kissing anymore.
He could no longer stand watching, so he turned to Henley and said politely, “Mr. Brooks, we are fully responsible for this accident. So please allow me to take you to the hospital.”
