Chapter 357 Responsibility Petrified
Aleena got up in a hurry. The bold words that she had said earlier in front of Silas wasn’t worth a dime
compared to her life. This time, she had gotten away with seconds to spare, so she didn’t look as
pathetic as she did just now. But before she could stand firmly on the ground after dodging, another car
was already driving toward her. She wanted to run to the left, but noticed that there was another car
driving toward her in that direction, as did the right. However, the one on the left was slightly further
away, so she could avoid it after avoiding the one on the right. But just as she was implementing her
plan, another car came toward her from the side. It was coming from the spot she had just dodged
from. Her heart skipped a beat and she avoided the car in a panic, but the car on the other side was
already very near her.
Aleena wanted to cry, and cry her heart out at that.
She had never experienced such a grievance in her whole life. It was too tiring. These 6 cars

didn’t realize they were trying to run down a person. Aleena didn’t even have the time to catch her
breath, let alone escape. In less than 10 minutes, she was already reaching her limits. She gasped for
breath but even though she was inhaling, her lungs were still screaming for air. Sweat was rolling down
from her forehead and she was in a sorry state. Nonetheless, she didn’t dare to slow down because it
might cause her to lose her life. As the saying went, ‘when people are about to die, they are capable of
unleashing limitless potential’. Aleena swore that she had never run like this before in her whole life.
Silas had been sitting on the chair observing her all this time. Actually, the route he designed for each
car to take was fixed in a regular pattern. They wouldn’t harm her, but she definitely wouldn’t have time
to rest. He knew Aleena and Robin didn’t do this, but they were the ones who came up with the idea,
and Luca had acted according to her plan. So, she should take responsibility for it. Besides, she had
also wanted to target Camila. The only reason she didn’t was because Luca Matthews was dead and
she was afraid she would be exposed, so she didn’t.
But still, she continued scheming!
When she tried to drug Camila at Nolan Residence, Camila managed to turn the tables on her because
of her smarts, so Aleena reaped what she sowed.
If not, Camila would have been the one who was drugged. That was why her life could be spared, but
she must be taught a lesson! As time passed, Aleena’s agility was greatly reduced. There were quite a
few times she felt that the cars missed her by only a hair’s breadth. She leaned against a pillar, gasping
for breath. She could deal with less cars this way but she still had to keep an eye for cars coming at her
from the sides.
That was the experience she gained from running away from the cars for a few rounds. Even so, she
was exhausted. Her whole body was drenched in sweat, as if she had just gotten out of a pool. She
couldn’t even breathe properly, let alone dodge. When she saw that a car was already driving toward
her, her brain instructed her body to dodge. However, her body had already reached its limits, so it
didn’t move exactly as she instructed. She tripped on her own foot when she took a step, and she fell

She fell flat on her face. During a time like this, a person’s instinct was to see the distance of the car
from them. Aleena turned her head around abruptly and realized the car was only about two meters
away from her.
Her heart felt like it had fallen into an abyss.
She raised her arm to block the blinding headlights, defeated.
It was over.
This was the end.
She waited for a while but unexpectedly, the car didn’t run into her. When Aleena moved her trembling
arm away from her eyes, she saw that the car had stopped at a distance of only ten centimeters away
from her. At that moment, she was both worn out and petrified. She stayed on the ground and naturally
started crying her heart out. She didn’t know whether she was crying because she was still alive, or
because Silas really hadn’t intended to kill her. Anyway, all the cars had stopped, and everyone was
looking at the poor girl crying on the floor.
