Chapter: 2022
Raegan didn't jump out of the car herself. It was Mitchel who forcefully pushed her out.

“Thump !"

Raegan landed safely on the deployed airbag.

Matteo halted his car abruptly and hurried out, calling, "Madam!"

Assisted by the bodyguards, Raegan stood up as Matteo approached, asking urgently, "Madam, are you injured?"

Raegan shook her head and inquired, “Where's Mitchel?"

Matteo fell silent.

Growing increasingly anxious, Raegan pressed, “Where is Mitchel?"

Matteo couldn't meet her gaze, tears streaming down his face.

“He said he would jump after me." Raegan's heart tightened painfully, barely able to ask, "Where is he?"

Matteo broke down, sobbing. "Mr. Dixon didn't jump out."

Raegan's heart skipped a beat, and her breath caught in her chest.

Her mouth fell open in disbelief. "What do you mean by that?"

The ensuing silence allowed panic to spread unchecked.

Raegan clutched Matteo's sleeve, her voice breaking. "Talk to me. Say anything!"

Matteo's eyes were swollen from tears. He reached out to support Raegan, his voice rough. "Madam, Mr. Dixon told me to make sure you get back home safely."

Raegan brushed off his hands, her lips quivering. “Please, Matteo, save him!"

Silence filled the air, pushing Raegan to the edge.

“Why aren't you rescuing him? Didn't you manage to hack the bomb's countdown? It's stopped!" Raegan's voice was rough from all the yelling and crying. "You have to save him..."

Tears rolled down Matteo's cheeks. "Madam, there's absolutely no plan... None at all."
