Chapter 319: Safely Return Home_1

The burly man ignored Jessica Flack's screams, stepping on the gas like a madman and rushing forward.

With a face as pale as clay, Jessica who was in the back seat was jolted mercilessly. She involuntarily clenched Basil Jaak's hand, and her body, shaken by the rumbling of the vehicle, leaned into his arms.

"Basil, I..." Fear shone in Jessica's eyes.

Despite being able to navigate the ever-changing business world with ease, Jessica was left chill to the bone in the face of the menacing burly man and utterly defenseless.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Basil reassured, patting Jessica's delicate hand.

Seemingly sensing Basil's strong aura, the color gradually returned to Jessica's previously ice-cold face. She bit her lip and nodded at Basil.

"Hold on!" warned Basil before he decisively leapt forward from the back seat to grip the man's throat, barking, "Stop the car, or I'll snap your neck!" He knew that with such a brute, he had to be more ruthless.
