Unaware of the situation. Tiffany fastened her seatbelt and choked out, “Jose, I’m a bit cold. Could you roll up the car window?”
As she spoke, she clutched her arms tightly, shivering as if she was freezing.
In another half an hour, the sun was due to set. Tiffany was dressed particularly lightly. It seemed she had rushed out from home in a hurry.
Josiah rolled up

the car window all the way and said, “Move to the back.”
Josiah wasn’t sure if she was genuinely clueless or just pretending to be. He said. straightforwardly, “You can’t sit here. Move to the back.”
This time, Tiffany understood. She obediently unbuckled her seatbelt and opened the car door to move to the back seat.
Josiah started the car and locked the doors. Instantly, the interior of the vehicle.
became a secluded little space, cut off from the rest of the world.
Tiffany raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and after a while, as if just remembering, she pulled out a tissue from the small bag she was carrying. She unfolded it and held it in her hand, dabbing at her cheeks from time to time.
The tissue was scented, causing Josiah, who had an exceptionally keen sense of smell, to furrow his brows in discomfort and become increasingly indifferent toward Tiffany.
With a choked sob, Tiffany subtly moved her hand, tightly clutching the tissue, toward the driver’s seat. At the same time, she softly asked, “Jose, will my dad ever get out…

Josiah stared straight ahead and casually said, “It depends on the police. investigation.”
The air inside the car seemed to grow stifling as the windows were tightly shut.
Josiah turned on the air conditioning, hoping to make the atmosphere a bit more bearable. However, as time passed, he found himself succumbing to an

Tiffany had been watching him with a timid expression all along. Seeing him slow down after exiting the highway and the twilight gradually taking over the evening glow, she suddenly expressed her concern. “Jose, are you tired?”
Josiah maintained his composure and said, “No.”

Tiffany noticed his sparing use of words, but it didn’t discourage her. She glanced at the two bottles of mineral water placed in the compartment between the driver’s and passenger seat and softly said, “I’m thirsty.”
“Get it on your own.” Josiah was desperate to meet Dillon, hoping to find the father–daughter duo’s weaknesses under the pretext of helping him find a lawyer. Unfortunately, his mind was so foggy at that moment that he simply couldn’t keep his focus on Tiffany anymore.
Josiah had never seen the true face of Tiffany. In his fatigue, he had let his guard down around her.
By the time the vehicle exited the ramp, the sky had already turned pitch black.
Tiffany unscrewed the bottle of mineral water and discreetly poured the powder hidden in the tissue into it. Then, under the cover of the night, she began to the bottle.

The colorless, tasteless powder dissolved instantly upon contact with water, swiftly leaving no trace behind.
Tiffany returned the bottled water to its place, subtly swapping the positions of two bottles while striking up a conversation with Josiah. “Jose, your eyes are all shadowed. You shouldn’t push yourself so hard. I can drive too. How about I take over, and you take a break?”
“It’s fine.”
“I can do it. Really, trust me.”
Josiah raised an eyebrow, glancing at her through the rearview mirror. “You know the way?”
Tiffany fell silent.

“I… I can check the GPS.”

Josiah’s fingers playfully tapped on the steering wheel. “All right, your turn to drive.”
The roads in this vicinity are all mountainous, riddled with numerous forks. Moreover, the accuracy of the rural navigation system is questionable at best.
If Tiffany can really navigate accurately to the village, then…
Josiah pulled over to the side of the road. “You take over from here. I’m going to rest in the back seat for a bit.”
Even when resting, he didn’t want to be too close to Tiffany.
A flicker of a smile passed over Tiffany’s face as she reassured, “Jose, I’m a very steady driver. You don’t have to worry about sitting in the passenger seat.”
Josiah couldn’t be bothered to come up with a more detailed excuse. going to take me down with you, are you?”
You’re not
Tiffany’s hand tightened around the hem of her dress at her side, and she looked uneasy. “All right, you should rest first. Once we arrive, I’ll wake you up.”
“The car has GPS.”
With that, Josiah got out of the vehicle and headed toward the back seat. He didn’t forget to take the mineral water bottle he had previously opened. After taking a few sips to soothe his throat, he closed his eyes to rest.
Tiffany turned down the volume of the GPS, a chilling aura emanating from her. “Don’t worry, Jose. I’ll drive carefully,”
Suddenly, Josiah felt an overwhelming wave of fatigue wash over him. In no time at all, his consciousness succumbed to the boundless darkness.
When Josiah regained consciousness, the view outside the car window had become so unfamiliar that he dared not acknowledge it.
Perhaps it was due to a lingering thought in his heart, he woke up unexpectedly just before he was about to fall into a deep sleep. Even though his mind was still groggy, he instinctively sensed that something was amiss.

“Where are we…”
Finished
Josiah felt an unprecedented weakness, devoid of any strength in his body. All he could muster was to ask this question.
Tiffany hadn’t expected him to wake up before they reached their destination. Even her silhouette visibly radiated panic. She abruptly hit the brakes, narrowly avoiding veering off the road, and steered the car up a slope.
This brief jolt sent Josiah lunging forward, giving him a clear view of the nearby road conditions.
Driving from the city center to the town required navigating a narrow, old suburban road. However, the area wasn’t completely desolate as there were streetlights and factories set in remote locations. It wasn’t as if it was a place rarely visited by people.
Josiah asked coldly, “Where are you taking me?”
He was so drained he couldn’t even lift a finger, yet his imposing aura remained undiminished. This icy demeanor gave Tiffany quite the scare.
Tiffany had an exceptional mental fortitude. Seeing that he was only talking and had no intention of grabbing the steering wheel, she immediately realized that the drug she had slipped into his drink was working. Without a hint of panic, she calmly replied, “Of course, we’re going to see my dad. He’s still waiting for us to rescue him.”
Josiah stared at her without taking his eyes off her.
“This isn’t the way to town. You had the GPS on, so there’s no way you
could have gotten lost. This means you must have deliberately taken the wrong route.” He coolly exposed her plan. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
There couldn’t be any other possibility.
Tiffany looked at Josiah’s emotionless face in the rearview mirror and pursed her lips. “Jose, do you really not trust me? After all, you’ve watched me grow up.”
She had met him even before Lysander did. However, he had never truly paid attention to her.
At that moment, it was as if all pretenses had been dropped.

Josiah denied Tiffany any further respect and said bluntly, “Do you really think I can still trust you?”
After getting the answer, Tiffany couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “I was just joking with you. Why are you taking it so seriously? I mistakenly passed a junction due to a navigation error. I’m currently figuring out how to turn back
In the rearview mirror, her gaze was sharp and clear, evidently devoid of any trace of amusement.
