Chapter 316
The man had a distinctive mark on him that she was all too familiar with; he was sent by the organization.
They were here to kill and silence her!
Renee immediately locked the car doors, gripped the steering wheel tightly, took a deep breath, and forced herself to calm down quickly.
She had anticipated this day ever since she decided to tip off Isabella.
She just didn't expect them to discover her little actions so quickly.
She had been extremely discreet about it, so where did she go wrong?
The Adri Family despised traitors the most.
Once discovered, they would chase them to the ends of the earth to capture them.
For this purpose, they had specially trained a group of people to hunt down disobedient traitors, using ruthless and decisive methods, and subjecting them to various tortures until they confessed to their actions.
If the traitor refused to obey orders, they had the highest authority to act directly.
But she couldn't die yet!
It wasn't that she was afraid of death, but she had family members waiting for her to save them. To make her comply, the organization under the Adri Family had taken control of her family.
If she died, all her family members would be doomed.
At this moment, Renee only hated herself for having a talent in chemistry.
If it weren't for her research results attracting the attention of the Adri Family, she and her family wouldn't have been targeted by these people, and she wouldn't have ended up like this.
Since the Adri Family placed her in their subordinate organization, her world had been filled with various tasks, and she hadn't felt the joys and sorrows of ordinary people for a long time.
She was also a girl in her twenties, wanting to experience freedom and love, not wanting to be used as a killing tool every day.
She deeply regretted going abroad for further studies.
In the few seconds she was in a daze, the men in black had quickly approached from behind. Renee had no time to think and stepped on the gas pedal to rush out.
But their reaction was faster than she imagined. The car had barely moved 9 feet when the rear tires were hit consecutively, making a piercing sound.
But Renee didn't dare to stop because she knew that if she did, she would surely die today.
Forcing the skidding car, Renee floored the gas pedal, quickly leaving the parking lot and speeding onto the main road.
But the car had suffered significant damage and couldn't go far, and the men in black were closely pursuing her, about to catch up.
Renee knew she might not escape death today, so she desperately drove towards the city, trying to find a chance to survive.
After all those people wouldn't dare to shoot in the city.
She saw a greenbelt not far ahead and, before the car completely lost control, unbuckled her seatbelt and jumped out with all her might.
With a "bang," the car crashed into the guardrail.
Ignoring her multiple injuries, Renee used her last bit of strength to get up and ran towards the nearest building.
As long as she blended into the crowd, the Adri Family's people wouldn't dare to do anything to her.
Not far away was a large shopping mall. Renee kept an eye on the situation behind her while running inside.
But just as she reached the entrance, she was stopped, "Ma'am, the mall is closed today. Please come back tomorrow."
"But I really need to get in here, please help me."
Renee, exhausted, barely expressed her need to the staff, her face pale and gasping for breath.
Seeing her injuries and the blood dripping from her wrist, the staff member was even more frightened and backed away repeatedly.
"Ma'am, you should go to the hospital. The mall is really closed today; our boss has booked it."
The staff member dared not let her in.
Renee couldn't afford to waste time, but as she turned around, she collapsed to the ground due to dizziness.
Fearing that the Adri Family's people were nearby, she used her last bit of strength to call Aaron.
In her final moments, he was the only one she wanted to see.
'Aaron, answer the phone, please answer.' She prayed in her heart.
She really didn't have much time left.
Perhaps God didn't hear her prayers; the waiting tone on the phone seemed longer and longer, but no one answered.
Renee called twice.
Her hope turned from desperate longing to disappointment.
But Renee didn't blame him.
After all, she didn't even dare to face her feelings for him, so how could she expect Aaron to save her in such a dangerous moment?
Her current situation was entirely her own doing.
She couldn't blame anyone else.
Bright red blood flowed more and more from her hand, and Renee's vision began to blur. Finally, her mind went blank, and she collapsed to the ground.
Just before she lost consciousness, a familiar voice sounded in her ear.
"Oh my God, what's going on? Call an ambulance, quick."
Hearing someone wanting to save her, Renee forced her eyes open, seeing the person in front of her anxiously directing others to perform first aid.
That bright and delicate face, and her slightly bulging belly, gave Renee a glimmer of hope, and she finally recognized the familiar feeling.
It was Isabella.
She had come.
"Ms. Taylor." Renee weakly called out to her.
Only upon hearing Renee's faint voice did Isabella recognize her. "Renee? Is that you? What happened?"
But why was she covered in injuries?
"Help me." After saying this, Renee had no strength left and completely passed out.
"Someone, get Ms. Faith to my car, we're going to the hospital immediately."
Isabella furrowed her brow and immediately called her bodyguards to take Renee to the hospital.
During this time, Atticus and Holden, worried about her, had arranged for many people to stay by her side, so there was more than one car available.
Renee's sudden injury was likely not a coincidence. Since she had encountered it, she couldn't ignore it.
The bodyguards, hearing her command, sent two people to carry Renee to the car.
Standing nearby, Michael's eyes flashed with a dark light as he saw Renee being taken to the car.
When he first investigated Glamour Oasis, he had already reviewed Renee's personal information. Coupled with Isabella calling her name just now, he was even more certain that the injured person was Renee.
Aaron had just mentioned yesterday that Isabella was being watched, and today Renee was in trouble.
If it wasn't a coincidence, it had to be intentional.
After the car left, Isabella turned to say goodbye to Michael, but unexpectedly realized she hadn't seen Aaron all day.
Perhaps Aaron was handling other matters; Michael trusted Aaron the most.
Her gaze fell on Michael's tall figure, and Isabella suddenly felt a bit reluctant, with more complex emotions in her heart.
Knowing that the kindness he showed her was all because of the child in her belly, she still couldn't help but want to indulge in it.
But reality was always in front of her.
The prenatal checkup was over, and they had bought almost everything they needed.
In the end, they would have to part ways.
