Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1587

Elliot glanced at Lance, and Lance immediately understood, leading Nancy out of the hotel.

With Oakridge Town likely swarming with Keaton's men, their appearance would surely be noticed.

Hence, Lance and his team would go ahead while Elliot monitored remotely.

He had already coordinated with local law enforcement in Oakridge Town, who were ready to act on his command.

The rain started to pour, making the mountain roads dangerous and muddy.

Elliot followed Lance's convoy, driving a plain, unmarked Volkswagen to avoid drawing attention.

Nancy was also in the armored vehicle.

She grew increasingly anxious as they approached Oakridge Town and the mountainous terrain ahead.

Nervously, she asked, "You'll ensure my safety, right? If there's any danger, you'll protect me first?"

Lance responded professionally, "As long as you stay in our sight, we'll ensure your safety."

The mountain road was difficult to navigate, especially with the rain making it slippery.

One wrong move could send the vehicle tumbling down the mountainside, so Lance had to remain extremely alert.

Despite Lance's assurances, Nancy was still scared, her hands and feet trembling uncontrollably.

She had not lived her life to the fullest yet and was not ready to die due to someone else's schemes.

As they reached the quiet, dark road at the base of the mountain, Lance stopped the vehicle and had his team discreetly position themselves around Nancy's house.

After navigating the winding mountain road, Lance accompanied Nancy to her door, where she nervously unlocked it.

Before she could even turn on the lights, a glinting knife lunged toward her from the darkness.

"Get down!"

Lance reacted swiftly, pushing Nancy aside just in time.

The knife missed her by inches, clattering to the floor as the assailant stumbled forward.
