No, I can't just sit here and wait to die!

It would take Harrison some time to get here. Before then, she had to do

something...

But it was already late, and this area was incredibly remote. They had been driving for five or six minutes without seeing a single person or security camera on the road. There was no one to call for help!

Just as she was pondering her options, a car appeared in the opposite lane!

A tiny spark of light ignited in Anastasia's eyes. Without a moment's hesitation, she lunged at the driver!

Caught completely off guard, the driver lost control, and the car swerved wildly, its tires screeching against the pavement.

"Grab her! What are you doing back there?! Didn't you notice the ropes came loose?!"

"Bitch! Are you trying to get us all killed?!"

Amidst the chaos in the car, they passed the oncoming vehicle.

That car seemed not to have noticed anything and drove on without stopping.

The burly men in the car all breathed a sigh of relief.

They didn't know that the other car had come to a screeching halt just a short distance away.

"Call the police, then turn around and follow them!"

The person sitting in that car was none other than Lester!

Lester was sure he hadn't been mistaken. The woman in that car just now was definitely Anastasia!

The call to the police was made, and the driver immediately spun the car around to give chase.

The car reached the riverbank.

With her hands tied behind her back and her mouth gagged, Anastasia was roughly dragged out of the car.

The man holding her sneered, "Such a pretty face. What a shame. But it's your own fault for offending someone you shouldn't have."

With that, he was about to shove her into the churning river.

But just then-

"Stop!"

Along with the shout, a car came speeding directly towards them!

The burly man's expression changed. He instinctively tried to dodge, pulling Anastasia with him.

But Anastasia realized this was her chance!

She began to struggle with all her might!

The man tried to subdue her, but if he didn't move, he was about to be hit!

In that split second, the instinct for survival took over, and he unhesitatingly let her

go.

Freed, Anastasia immediately rolled away in the opposite direction!

As she was figuring out her next move, the car stopped beside her A hand swiftly pulled her side, and without a moments pause, the car sped away!

The burly men's faces changed. "After them!"

In the lead car, the gag was pulled from Anastasia's mouth. She looked up and was

stunned. "Mr. Calderon?"

Lester untied her hands, his

brows furrowed in concern. He

soothed her, "Don't worry, I've

already had someone call the police

Anastasia breathed a sigh of relief, her voice filled with sincere gratitude. "Thank you so much!"

She quickly looked back and saw the other car was still in hot pursuit.

Her gaze instantly turned cold and sharp.

Then she thought of Harrison. She had pressed the emergency button, so he must be on his way But he didn't know she had escaped and he must be worried sick!

"Mr. Calderon, could I borrow your phone?"

Lester naturally agreed.

Anastasia recited Harrison Lancaster's number from memory and immediately dialed.

The phone barely rang twice before it was answered. Harrison's clipped, cold voice came through the line. "Hello?"

"Hubby!"

"Ana?!"

The calm in Harrison's voice was shattered.

Anastasia quickly said, "Don't worry, I'm fine! Someone rescued me!"

At that moment, Lester's driver said, "Mr. Calderon, they're catching up! What should we do?"
