Chapter 1476Chapter 1476 Connor’s Men
"Don't worry, Mrs. Fuller." After reassuring Sonia, the bodyguards behind them exited the car. Then,
they headed to the front to join the battle.
However, the burly men in black had an advantage over her bodyguards in terms of their numbers.
Toby had hired eight bodyguards and one driver for her, and now four of those bodyguards were
restrained. Meanwhile, only a few of their opponents had been injured, and more than ten remained.
Could the remaining four bodyguards defeat them?
As Sonia pondered to herself anxiously, Mary was beginning to fret. "This is bad. These people are
here for us. They're keeping us here on purpose."
On the other hand, Sonia was not surprised because she already knew their intention.
"Mrs. Fuller, I'll call President Fuller," the driver said hurriedly.
She nodded in response and uttered, "All right. Hurry up."
"I'll call the police as well." After that, Mary pulled her phone out, saying, "Young Mistress Sonia, you
should call someone from the old manor too. They're nearby, so we have to ask them to send someone
to our aid as soon as possible."
"Okay." Sonia immediately agreed before she took out her phone to call them.
In the meantime, Rose was bristled with rage upon learning of the situation and hurriedly sent over
twenty men. Even though the old manor was not far from their current location, it took them some time
to get there.At that moment, Sonia needed to hold out until the people from the old manor arrived, and this was the
only way to keep them out of danger. In other words, they needed the remaining four bodyguards to
fend the burly men off until then. Nonetheless, the bodyguards ultimately failed to hold their ground.
She didn't think they'd be able to hold out for long because two of the bodyguards had been knocked
down and couldn't get up, and the other two were fighting with everything they had.
Then, Mary placed her phone down and urgently reported to her, "Young Mistress Sonia, I've already
called the police, and they said they're already heading over."
Suddenly, the driver's frown deepened, and his face darkened. "Mrs. Fuller, I am unable to contact
President Fuller. He isn't answering the phone, and neither is Tom."
"They are already overburdened with dealing with the company's matters. It's not surprising that they
haven't answered your call," Sonia reasoned, pursing her lips. From the start, she had already
prepared herself for this outcome.
After that, Mary narrowed her eyes and instructed, "Wesker, just drive the car into them."
As soon as Sonia heard that, she and the driver turned to Mary in shock.
Then, Mary explained solemnly, "Humans are naturally afraid of death. They will definitely avoid us if
we drive straight at them. We can't stay stuck here any longer. If the two remaining bodyguards are
defeated, these people will immediately come for us once they aren't being held back anymore. Young
Mistress Sonia is pregnant, so she definitely can't be captured by them. It won't be good if something
happens to her, and we can't take the risk either."
Hearing that, Sonia subconsciously caressed her belly.
Seeing Sonia's reaction, Mary hurriedly persuaded her, fearing she was too empathetic, "You can't
hesitate, Young Mistress Sonia. We cannot let anything happen to you."Then, Sonia bit her lip before she eventually nodded. "All right. Let's give it a go." She's right, and I
can't let anything terrible happen to the child in my belly. If something goes wrong, I will never again be
able to fulfill the role of a mother.
Seeing that the two women had decided, Wesker steeled himself and said, "All right. I'll charge straight
ahead, so sit tight." Afterward, he stomped on the gas pedal and drove forward. When they saw the car
approaching, the people ahead subconsciously dodged to both sides. As Mary had predicted, they left
a gap in the middle for their vehicle to pass through smoothly.
As for the bodyguards, they will take care of them afterward and take them to the hospital if needed.
However, now, they needed to ensure their own safety.
"Great, we finally got away." Then, Mary looked back, and when she noticed they were driving away
from the brawling crowd, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
Wesker nodded along, agreeing. "Exactly. It was great that you made the right choice, Mary."
"I've gone to battle with Old Mrs. Fuller back in the days, so there are times when I'm firm if it's
necessary," she said with a smile.
However, Sonia's brows were tightly furrowed. "Mary, I don't know why, but I keep feeling that
something's off."
"What?" Mary paused. "Young Mistress Sonia, what's wrong?"
"It's those burly men." Sonia pursed her lips before elaborating, "When the car charged toward them
earlier, they moved aside, but their expressions weren't panicked or shocked at all, as if they already
knew we would go straight for them."At her words, Mary refreshed her memory and realized that Sonia was right. Instantly, Mary's smile
dropped, her expression turning dark. "Something is wrong."
Sonia hummed in reply. She felt that something was amiss as well.
"Wesker, be careful. I keep feeling like—" Before Mary could finish, the car suddenly reeled back and
stopped. The sudden movement caused Sonia and her to jerk forward, and Sonia's expression
instantly turned fearful. If she continued to pounce forward like this, she would definitely hit her belly,
and the outcome would be unthinkable.
Seeing that, Mary immediately disregarded her own safety and yanked Sonia toward her. In the end,
Sonia pounded on her arms while Mary slammed her shoulder heavily in the back of the passenger
seat and yelped in pain.
"Mary, are you all right?" Sonia hastily checked on her.
However, Mary smiled in response. "I'm fine, Young Mistress Sonia. I just bumped my shoulder a little.
Are you all right?" After saying that, she hurriedly looked Sonia up and down.
Immediately, Wesker turned around to look at Sonia with a dark expression. My life would be over if
something happened to her.
Th€ connection to th€ §ource of thïš dat@ r€§t$ in n0v3lebook"I'm fine." Sonia shook her head. "Fortunately, Mary, you caught me in time, and I'm fine." Although she
could let out a breath of relief, she still felt a shiver running through her spine when she recalled the
events that had just occurred. It really was a close call.
"That's good to know." Mary finally relaxed at her words before turning to Wesker with a displeased
expression. "Wesker, what happened? Why did the car stop all of a sudden?""I don't know. I was just driving when the car stopped itself. It says on the screen that all four tires were
punctured," Wesker replied bitterly, pointing at the display screen in the car.
"What? The tires were punctured?" Mary repeated in surprise.
When she heard that, Sonia bit her lip and remained silent as if she had realized something.
"I'll take a look." Mary hurriedly opened the car door and headed down, followed by Wesker.
Sonia was also about to head down, but Mary instructed her to stay put in the car as it was safer inside.
Ultimately, she had no choice but to remain seated as she could not win over Mary's word.
After exiting the car, Mary and the driver inhaled sharply upon seeing the four flat tires.
"What exactly is it that could puncture all four tires at once?"
Then, Wesker sensed something and looked behind. As he had expected, he saw what he had
guessed would appear in the middle of the road. "It's road spikes."
"What?" She looked in the direction he was pointing and instantly noticed the road spikes designed to
keep cars out.
Furthermore, the spikes were similar in color to the road, making them difficult to distinguish. Thus, it
punctured the tires without raising suspicion, bringing the vehicle to a halt.
"I can't believe someone placed something like this on the road," Mary exclaimed furiously.
After hearing that, Sonia rolled the windows down and said, "As expected. No wonder those people
weren't surprised to see us charging at them and letting us off so easily. They had anticipated our
actions and strategically placed the spikes to bring our vehicle to a halt."
Suddenly, a round of applause sounded from the front. "How clever!"Sonia and the others turned around to see a group of people, a young man wearing glasses and a
tuxedo, and a dozen burly men dressed in black, had appeared on the previously empty road.
