Lucy's face immediately darkened.
"Eisner, send her back."
Eisner's face also looked bad, but he didn't say a single word of blame to Isabella.
He just said in a low voice, "Get in the car first."
Isabella opened the car door and sat in the front passenger seat, which was Lucy's seat just now.
Lucy looked at Eisner coldly.
"We're going on a mission, not going out for fun."
Eisner was helpless but tolerant, "We're already halfway there. If we go back now, we won't be able to get the things on the plane in time."
"I could protect you in previous missions, and I can also find a way to protect her now."
Lucy's face was ugly.
She remembered that in her previous life, Eisner tolerated all of Isabella's unreasonable demands unconditionally.
Isabella wanted jewelry, wanted to live in their den, and even wanted the Atlant family to be ruined. There wasn't a single thing that Eisner didn't agree to.
In the end, her death was just because Isabella wanted to stand beside Eisner legitimately, so she had to give way.
Lucy still couldn't forget Isabella's mocking smile as she asked her.
"So what if I killed my own son? I say it was you, and that's it."
"Do you think anyone will believe you if you say it wasn't you? Does it matter?"
Yes, under his favoritism, what Lucy said didn't matter at all.
She didn't say a single word of refutation. She just silently got in the car.
As the car sped on the road, Isabella was in sharp contrast to Lucy, who remained silent throughout the journey.
She was like going on an outing. From time to time, she gave Eisner a sip of the drink and stuffed some snacks into his mouth.
Those candies and preserved fruits that he hated the most were now being put into his mouth one by one from Isabella's hand, and he accepted them all.
Just as Isabella opened the second pack of candies, Lucy keenly noticed that there were people following them behind.
Eisner obviously also noticed.
As more and more cars followed them, the expressions on their faces became uglier and uglier.
Eisner looked at Isabella beside him and then at Lucy, who was sitting in the back seat with a cold face, through the rear - view mirror.
Ignoring the indescribable emotions in his heart, he made a decision in an instant.
"Lucy, there are motorcyclists following us. They'll probably break the window soon. You haven't forgotten how to ride a motorcycle, have you?"
There was a knowing smile on Lucy's lips. Once again, it was a choice between two, and she was still the loser, Lucy.
Always being abandoned, always being used as a shield for Isabella.
She said indifferently, "I haven't forgotten."
"Good. Take the box we prepared in advance. Grab a motorcycle and go. Don't look back. Leave the real box to me. I'll get it on the plane."
"Okay."
Seeing that Lucy agreed so readily, Eisner's heart ached again.
The original plan wasn't like this, but because of Isabella's sudden appearance, he had to change it temporarily.
He knew that the other side had brought sniper rifles, and it would be relatively safer to stay in the car. But he had no choice. Isabella had never experienced such things before, so he could only let Lucy go out to attract the enemy's firepower.
He told himself in his heart that it would be okay.
Lucy would definitely forgive him. At most, she would make some embarrassing demands on him in bed. But why did his heart ache so badly when he saw her indifferent look?
"Lucy, I have to stay. Isabella is different from you. She..."
He tried to explain, but Lucy didn't want to listen to a single word.
"I know everything. Don't say any more. Get ready. They should be here soon."
Eisner's words were stuck in his chest, unable to come out or go down.
That breath made him feel like he had a cramp, and even breathing hurt.
Just as the oncoming motorcyclists broke the window, Lucy opened the car door and jumped out. With the fastest speed, she seized control of a motorcycle.
Like showing off, she slung the silver - shining box on her back, kicked the rider beside her away, and then sped forward without looking back.
All those who had been closely following Eisner's car accelerated to chase after Lucy.
Looking at Lucy's back as she didn't look back at all, Eisner suddenly felt a pain in his heart that made it hard for him to breathe.
The nightmares that had been haunting him came back again. He seemed to see that broken Lucy again.
Lying in his arms, on the verge of death.
Covered in wounds, and her lower body was in a terrible state. Even the 'wolf - claw tattoo' on her chest representing him was full of burns and knife marks.
Eisner suddenly regretted it.
He thought he shouldn't have let Lucy go.
But now there was no turning back. He stepped on the accelerator to the maximum.
Isabella in the front passenger seat exclaimed, "Eisner, slow down. I can't breathe."
But the Eisner who had once cared so much about Isabella seemed to turn a deaf ear.
There was only one thought in his mind: to be fast, to be even faster.
The faster he got the things on the plane, the sooner Lucy would be safe.
