"Why did you reject Neil's suggestion? Do you believe that autonomous driving systems are unreliable?"When I was with Max, he always showed contempt for AI technology. Despite his higher education and understanding of the significance of technological progress, I now realize that it wasn't the technology he despised—it was Luke. Max refused to switch to a smart car because he didn't want a constant reminder of someone he could never measure up to."Mr. Walker always prioritizes people in his work. If autonomous driving technology were unreliable, you wouldn't persist in this field," I said. JL Capital focused on the tech sector; if I doubted technology, I might as well quit now!I explained, "I was rear-ended before, and it left a scar. I haven't driven since.""Was it when Cindy rear-ended you?""You have an excellent memory, Mr. Walker."Luke was already aware of the complicated situation between Max, Cindy, and me, so there was no need to hide it."Have you done something wr

"There's not much space for two people in one car."Only after Luke and I sat in the bumper car did we realize the issue. Though the car was meant for two, we were two adults, and it was a tight fit, leading to unavoidable physical contact. I tried to make myself as small as possible to keep some distance between us. "Maybe we should each take our own car," I suggested.Before Luke could respond, the staff signaled the start and the cars began to move. I was jolted forward as another car collided with us from behind, bringing back memories of a previous rear-end accident. My body tensed up, and I instinctively gripped the steering wheel to steady myself."Steer and move forward," Luke's deep, calm voice sounded in my ear, helping me regain some composure. However, I still felt uncertain about what to do next.Bang! Another car hit us from the right, causing both of us to shake. My mind, which had just started to clear, became muddled again.After a few more collisions, I began to

Half an hour later, in room 1206 of the Westinal Hotel, Luke knocked on the door. Wendy appeared, wrapped in a towel, her slightly tousled hair giving her a softer look."Are you hurt?" I urgently asked, wondering which clueless man had dared to mess with Wendy. I hurried forward to check on her and gripped her arm.Wendy was about to say something to Luke but looked surprised when she saw me. "Honey, what are you doing here?""Something happens to you. How could I not be here?"The fact that Wendy contacted Luke first instead of me stung a bit."There's no one in Johnsonville who can harm me!" Wendy twirled around, showing off. "Aside from some torn clothes, I'm perfectly fine.""That's a relief!"My concern for Wendy's safety had blinded me to the situation. Now, seeing her safe, I glanced at the hotel room behind her. Hotel room, towel, Luke... Had I interrupted something? Just as the realization hit me, I felt a pang of regret."What are you thinking?" Wendy, who knew me we

Wendy gave me a wink, brimming with anticipation.She was right. Mandy's actions were something Stephen would never let go unnoticed. Even if he couldn't have her arrested, she wouldn't have an easy time ahead."You really saved Stephen's life. He should properly thank you when he wakes up.""I don't need his thanks!" Wendy tightened the towel around her. "If it weren't for a client getting drunk and me helping him back to the hotel, I wouldn't have run into Mandy sneaking around, and none of this would've happened. I almost got caught up in it myself. I'm never meddling in others' business again.""It's all over now."The fear in Wendy's expression indicated that the situation must have been truly dire. I gently patted her shoulder to comfort her."I'm fine, just venting," Wendy said, leaning against the car door, eyes half-closed, clearly exhausted."Get some sleep. I'll wake you up when we get home.""It's almost midnight now. If you drop me off and drive back, it'll be the

The Muller family had arrived in Johnsonville, and Mandy's attempt to escape was too late!Upon arriving home and walking the dog, I noticed a figure standing in front of the mansion. From the silhouette, it appeared to be a young woman. She had a slender frame and carried a gray shoulder bag, occasionally glancing towards the mansion.Could it be Mandy again?It seemed that no matter where I went, she always managed to find me! Just as I was about to contact the property management to have her removed, the person noticed me and hesitantly called out, "Jen?""Penelope?"In the dim light, I didn't initially recognize her, but her voice was unmistakable."You remember me!" Penelope Middleton's chubby round face broke into a smile as she approached but stopped a couple of feet away."Of course, I remember you! You're my cousin!" Penelope seemed nervous, so I took her hand. "You could have called me before coming to Johnsonville. I would have picked you up.""I'm actually working i
