Chapter 179 Car Accident (1/2)

”Look at the options you had — Bentley, Lamborghini, or Ferrari. Any one of these is better than the one you have picked. Where's your taste?” Zed sneered.

”Uh huh. All the cars you named are truly fancy and extravagant, but they don't fit me. Do you think it is appropriate for me, a normal white collar, to drive such a fancy car?” Standing with her hands on her hips, Jean asked back helplessly.

With his handsome face scrunched up in the harsh sunlight, Zed said, ”I'd be surprised if there is anyone who doesn't know that you are Zed's wife in the whole H City? A fancy car perfectly suits your image.”

”I am a regular person with a 9x5 job. I should act like one. Forget it. I should just stop talking to you, or I'll be late for work.” Clutching her tan brown leather tote, Jean opened the door and got into the car.

His lips were dry and Zed felt unsure of what Jean was up to. He unwillingly saw Jean drive the car steadily out of the garage.

Anyway, Zed felt that the car didn't match her.

He furrowed his eyebrows, took out his phone and quickly dialed a number.

Jean drove her shipshape Chevrolet out of the front door and put on a determined face.

She thought, 'Jean, you did well.

The first step is to be independent and get rid of any dependence on Zed.

The second step is to alienate him and gradually get away from here.

You must believe in yourself that you can do it. It will happen but it will take time. There is no rush.'

The traffic was just about to hit the roads but Jean had just left the drive way and was about to take a traffic-heavy road. Lost in thoughts, Jean put on a firm expression, clutched her fist and encouraged herself.

Suddenly out of the blue, a man appeared at the intersection ahead.

The Chevrolet zoomed at a steady pace. By the time only a fifty-meter distance was left between the car and the man, Jean noticed what was about to happen.

Seized by panic, she hastily stepped on the brake.

The car leapt ahead with greater speed. With her hands clammy and heart in her mouth, she realized that her foot was on the accelerator and not the brake.
