Chapter 254 Who Did She Cross?
It didn’t seem like the driver truly intended to kill her.
If he had, he wouldn’t have slammed the brakes at the last second.
It felt more like a show of force. A warning. A threat.
Julia’s breathing suddenly turned erratic, tears welling up in her eyes.
“What the hell is wrong with you?! Are you out of your mind?!”
Emily rushed over and started shouting at the SUV driver furiously.
All they could make out was that the driver was a tall man.

He was dressed head to toe in black, wearing a black baseball cap and a black face mask that left only his piercing, intense eyes exposed.
As soon as the driver saw Emily and Matheo running over, he jerked the wheel and suddenly hit the gas.
“Stop right there!” Matheo growled through gritted teeth. “You think you can just hit and run?!”
Emily even tried to step forward to block the car. “You’re not going anywhere–let us see who you are!”
But the driver ignored them.
The SUV kept accelerating, speeding right past Emily’s outstretched hand, close enough to brush her fingertips.
Emily’s face went pale as she stumbled back in shock.
She hadn’t expected the driver to be this insane.
Not only did he not stop, he actually sped up…
The SUV disappeared into the distance, leaving nothing but a trail of smoky exhaust.
Matheo’s veins bulged at his temples from fury. His fists clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white. But even in his rage, he turned to comfort Emily. “Don’t worry. I swear I’ll find him–even if he turns to dust.”
The incident drew a small crowd of bystanders.
Matheo and Emily pushed through the onlookers and rushed to Julia.
Seeing her daughter shaken like that nearly broke Emily’s heart.
She quickly knelt beside Julia, wrapped her arms around her shoulders, and held her close, whispering softly to soothe her.
Meanwhile, Matheo’s driver pulled the car around.
Julia was helped into the backseat.

Chapter 254 Who Did She Cross?
The police got involved and questioned Matheo, Emily and a few witnesses.
But the SUV driver was stal nowhere to be found.

Even though the police were doing their best to track him down, the vehicle had slipped into a blind spot in the surveillance network–and then vanished, like it had never existed.
It felt like a dead end.
That’s when Matheo began to suspect this wasn’t some random accident.
It was a calculated move.
But if the person behind it didn’t actually want to hurt Julia…
Was this… a message?
Matheo was seething. He wanted nothing more than to drag out whoever was behind this and make them
pay.
But right now, he felt like a complete fool–chasing his own tail.
Who was it?
In the end, he had no choice but to ask Julia directly.
“Julia, since you got back, have you made any enemies?”
Julia’s expression shifted ever so slightly.
Enemies?
Two people immediately flashed through her mind…
Easton and Jean.
She’d clashed hard with both of them during that reality show.
Easton still hadn’t forgiven her to this day…
But she didn’t think this was his doing.
He wouldn’t need to go about it like this–he had far more direct ways of getting back at her.
And even if it was Easton…
At that thought, Julia couldn’t help glancing at Matheo.
Even if it was hi Matheo wouldn’t really do anything to Easton, would he?
Back during their last conflict, Matheo had clearly taken Easton’s side.
No–rather than “taken sides,” it was more like Matheo didn’t dare offend Easton now…
