Maria, let me see your face, the face of the future Mrs. Brown!&quot; At the moment, Jocelyn is glad to be ignored by her family.

Seeing this, Jocelyn finally realized that the driver must have brought her here on purpose. The only choice left for her was to make the driver drive.

Jocelyn narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "It's not too late to drive now. Otherwise, if they take me out of the car later, I guarantee that you won't get anything out of it."

But the threat wasn't deterrent enough to change the driver's mind.

He continued to drive slowly at the edge of the forest, and his speed was getting slower and slower, almost stopping the car. With this speed, the gangsters would catch up to them in no time.

"Miss, you know they are coming after you. They're not people I can afford to attend. Even if I can't get anything out of it, I won't dare to let you out of the car."

Seeing that Jocelyn was about to open the car door, he even locked the door to prevent her from leaving.
