Raina turned her head to avoid the person at the front with a camera on their shoulder and sidestepped a female journalist.
As they kept closing in, her back was already pressed against the car door, leaving Raina with nowhere to retreat.
But those journalists refused to stop, loudly shouting accusations.
Actually, Raina understood the reason for their strong reaction.
Simply because they wanted to gain some credit.
Whether it’s finding Elias and Baby or personally sending her to prison, they’d have to rely on Elias’s goodwill once he ’recovers from the danger’.
And Elias’s goodwill was more valuable than gold.
Without hesitation, Raina opened the car door and got inside.
With a click, she locked the central lock.
This action from Raina infuriated everyone.
"What does this woman mean? Refuse to admit her guilt? Or does she think that hiding in the car will let her escape the crimes she’s committed?"
"Maybe she’s planning to drive through us, leaving a bloody trail."
"Damn it! How could Southgate have such a woman! First, five years ago for money, she abandoned her comatose fiancé and gave birth to a pair of bastards. Now she’s targeting a four-year-old for money again! We must catch her and make sure she rots in prison and never harms anyone again!"
"I think only executing such a vicious woman will bring relief!"
"Raina, come out! Get out here! If you don’t come out, don’t blame us for smashing your car!"
Their passionate voices came from outside as they vehemently pounded on her car.
Raina remained cold-faced, not taking those people seriously at all. If anyone dared to act, she would definitely teach them what regret meant!
If you want to use her to gain credit, then check if you’re up for it!
If you can’t distinguish right from wrong but still dare to charge forward, what else could this be but asking to become cannon fodder!
Suddenly, her phone rang—it was Claire North calling. Read complete version only at novｅlfire.net
Without hesitation, Raina answered: "Claire North, what kind of trick are you playing!"
"Sister, are you angry now? Don’t be mad. I know you’re capable, you’ve charmed Elias into obeying you. We can’t deal with you, but we thought long and hard that this is the only way to make you hand him over. As for Director Woods, you don’t need to worry; once you’re captured, she’ll be released. Sister, you must take care; otherwise, if you miss out on future opportunities, it’ll be a lifelong regret for me."
After finishing, she hanged up without hesitation.
Soon enough, another call came in.
As soon as she picked up, Elias’s urgent voice came through: "Raina, please protect yourself. I’ll be there soon."
"What are you coming for? Don’t say it’s to rescue me; you should know appearing now only adds to my trouble, making everyone think my seduction is so powerful it attracts you, neglecting even your own son."
Hearing Raina’s calm voice, Elias breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled: "You’re right, I’ve always been waiting for you to seduce me. As long as you’re willing, not just my son, but even I would be yours."
"Shut up!" Raina replied impatiently, wondering when Elias had changed so much, frequently becoming flirtatious.
Could it be pent-up frustration?
Raina shook her head, dismissing all those thoughts, and said: "Elias, help me call the police and make sure they come in fifteen minutes."
"Fifteen minutes?" Elias immediately asked: "What do you want to do?"
Raina curled her lips, her smile carrying a hint of malice: "Of course, I just want to stretch a bit, considering I’m already here at this time of night."
