Chapter 54 Insane Street Racing

When Ellis Morris heard the sound, he immediately rushed in. “Mr. Pattinson, what happened?!” “Get the location tracker and check on Lyla Lowe’s location!” Mr. Pattinson sternly said. Seeing his stern look, Ellis Morris knew just how serious the matter was. Without a word, he immediately pressed on the tracker to locate Lyla’s location. Mark Pattinson stood by the side and waited. He felt restless with every second that passed; he just could not calm down. “Found her!” As Ellis Morris shouted, Mark Pattinson rushed over. When he saw the address from the satellite, he picked up the car keys and rushed out without another word. There was only one thought in his mind. ‘Lyla Lowe, you can’t have anything happen to you! I won’t allow it!’ Just the thought of something happening to Lyla Lowe made Mark Pattinson feel as if his heart was about to jump out of him. He had never felt so terrified since young! Lyla Lowe, please let nothing happen to you! With this belief, Mark Pattinson revved the car to its maximum speed and rushed over. There were a lot of people at the crossroad. There were also a lot of police cars and an ambulance. It was very obvious that a fight had just happened right here. The scene was a complete disaster. Mark Pattinson stopped his car. Without even pulling out the keys, he ran out. His heart had already leapt to his throat. It was as if something was caught in his throat, making it hard for him to breathe. He searched for that person in the crowd. There was no doubt about it, it was here. Lyla had picked up the phone call here. The tracker had also picked up this location. But why could he not find her? When he remembered that something had happened and that something bad might have happened to Lyla, he felt his heart clenching hard. “Lyla Lowe!” He shouted, not caring about his image. All he wanted to do at this moment was to find her! However, after he called out, nobody responded to him. Mark Pattinson searched through the crowd anxiously. Just then, someone from the police force walked over and stopped him. “Sir, it is dangerous here. You cannot enter!” Mark Pattinson did not pay any heed; he just wanted to enter. “Sir, we are searching for evidence there. You cannot enter...” The police officer blocked his way. “Move!” Suddenly, Mark Pattinson roared furiously. The icy anger rolling off his body left everyone near him shuddering in fear. The police officer was stunned. When he saw Mark Pattinson’s lavish attire and the arrogant air he had about him, he felt as if Mark Pattinson had been born with a noble air. With just a single glance, you could tell that he was no common folk. The police officer knew that this person was not to be offended. Even so, the officer also did not dare neglect his duties either. Mark Pattinson stared at him. He gave off a dreary air. If anyone dared to provoke him now, then it would be their funeral. He was so anxious that he could kill someone. “Move!” Mark Pattinson shouted. He was going to barge in. “Mark...” Just then, a soft and gentle voice by his side called out to him. Mark Pattinson turned his head. Then he saw Lyla Lowe. When he saw that she was still alive and well and standing in front of him, Mark Pattinson felt like his heart could finally return to its place in his chest. It plummeted back to where it belonged. Lyla looked back at Mark Pattinson too. She was a little shocked as well. Never had she imagined that he would be here. When she heard someone call out her name just now, she thought that she had heard wrongly. She did not think that it was Mark Pattinson! But why was he here? Just now, was he calling her? Lyla was watching him as she stood not far in the distance. She looked a little dishevelled. Her hair was a little messy, but it did not affect her confidence and beauty. Without another word, Mark Pattinson ran over and looked at her. “How are you?” Mark Pattinson frowned as he asked worriedly. Lyla stood there watching him. She could not overlook the worry in his eyes. Her heart shuddered, then she shook her head. “I’m fine...” “Darn it, why did you suddenly hang up?!” Mark Pattinson asked angrily. Did she know that he was so scared that his heart almost stopped beating?! “There was a fight just now. My phone was knocked down to the ground, and it broke!” said Lyla as she opened up her hands to show him her phone. It was not shattered, but it was bad enough that it could not be used anymore. At that point, Mark Pattinson felt that he wanted to blow off in a rage, but he had nowhere to direct his anger. She had no idea how worried he was on the way here. It was like someone was gouging his heart out. He was so scared that something might have happened to her! But... But he could not put in words just how aggrieved and worried he felt! In the end, he stared at her. That stare made it seem as if he wanted to skin her alive! Also, the phone was innocent. Mark Pattinson walked over, sat in the car, immediately started up the car, and zoomed off with her. When Mark Pattinson started speeding, he looked as if he wanted to die. His eyes were focused forward. The car was already traveling at maximum speed. Lyla herself did not know how many cars he overtook and how many red lights he went over. Lyla wanted to stop him, but at the sight of his sullen expression, she swallowed all the words she wanted to say. At that point, it was better to not irritate him! Mark Pattinson’s face was gloomy. Even he did not know what was wrong with himself. He kept his eyes fixed forward. On his way here, all those feelings of terror, anxiety, and helplessness felt like they were about to swallow him whole. Now that he saw that she was fine, he felt fortunate. Thank goodness she was safe! When these two feelings intertwined together, it built up a conflicted feeling in him that he could not describe. He had lost track of where he had driven to. In the end, Lyla opened her mouth. “Mr Pattinson… Where are you taking me?” Her words dragged Mark Pattinson’s thoughts back. He suddenly stepped on the brake. The car stopped in the middle of the road. Both sides were paved with towering and straight foxglove trees, all lined up regally. The occasional leaf would flutter down from time to time. It was incredibly quiet and lonely here. Lyla sat in the car, and Mark Pattinson was dumbfounded too. The atmosphere was profound. The car was so quiet that they could hear their own heartbeats. Lyla watched his devilishly charming side profile. After being dazed for a while, she suddenly spoke. “Mr Pattinson, you... ” However, in the next second, before Lyla could make out what was going on, Mark Pattinson pounced on her. “That speed just now was my speed when I came here. Lyla, are you trying to scare me to death?” She had never seen him with such a serious look in his eyes before, Lyla was rather taken aback, and there were also indescribable feelings in her. Just as she was dumbfounded and was in a daze, a fervent kiss came at her. The words at the tip of her tongue were all swallowed by him. His kisses had always been direct and dominating. This time it was tinged with a hint of wild roughness. Lyla was kissed by him and held by him. It felt like her entire being was about to be sucked away by him. But even between shudders, she could still tell that he was very nervous and terrified. It was like he could not let her go... It was as if it was okay for them to be together again. This feeling left her heart trembling. He had a faint scent of tobacco on him; it was a pretty nice scent. Lyla was wrapped in his arms, and it was like she was drowning in the scent. “Mm....” Lyla could not help but moan. Her voice was light and soft, with a hint of impatience. But to Mark Pattinson’s ears, it sounded like encouragement, so he hugged her even tighter. It seemed like this was the only way that Mark Pattinson could let out his feelings at the moment. And it was the only way he could feel her presence. “Mmph!” Lyle could not help but frown, Mark Pattinson had sucked her tongue so much that it had turned numb, and it stung a little. She could not help but let out a cry. Mark Pattison also heard Lyla. It was only then that he regained a bit more of his rationality and slowly retreated from that heated kiss. Even so, he continued to hug her and crush her. He did not let go. When Lyla breathed in fresh air, her face was flushed, and her breathing was a little rushed. She propped both her hands against his chest. It was like she was trying to reject him, but wanting him at the same time. Mark Pattinson narrowed his eyes as he looked at her. His deep gaze was loving and profound. Lyla looked at him too, confused by the intense scrutiny of his lovingly deep gaze, she said in a low voice, “Mark...” “Lyla, what do you want?” asked Mark Pattinson. His attractive voice was deep, like the enticing darkness of the night. “Hm?” Lyla Lowe looked at him, not understanding what he was getting at for a moment. Mark Pattinson looked at her. As he watched Lyla, he did not know how or why, but that sentence just sprouted out of nowhere. In fact, it was not even processed in his head. Mark Pattinson took a deep breath. He did not finish that sentence but only held her tighter. Slowly, he closed his eyes, but in his heart; he let out a harsh huff in relief. It was like another heavy rock in his heart was let down on the ground. “Do not move, just let me hug you for a while longer,” he mumbled hoarsely. He felt extremely exhausted. Lyla said nothing, allowing him to hug her as he pleased. The light tobacco scent on him flooded her senses and nerves, helping her to relax and wind down before she realised it herself. “Mark, what’s gotten into you?” Lyla asked. Actually, she wanted to ask why he appeared over there, but she did not manage to ask it. “The call disconnected. I thought something happened to you...” Those were very mild and very light words, but they caused a myriad of emotions in Lyla’s heart. Just because her call was disconnected, he rushed over to find her? However, it had only been a few brief minutes since their call disconnected. How did he get here? Did he speed here? Did he think he was driving a racecar? Lyla did not dare to continue with her questions. It was because she understood the meaning behind this, and that was why she did not dare to continue asking questions. “How did you know I was there?” “Everyone’s phone has a chip. As long as they do not remove it, it could be tracked!” Mark Pattinson mumbled. He looked like he was so exhausted that there was no strength in him. “Oh!” Lyla replied mildly, but she did not dare to ask any more. It was because she understood, and that was why she did not want to figure out the meaning behind those words. So she avoided it. After all, their relationship must not go past the flirtatious stage. “I’m fine. It's just that a fight started up for no reason. Then my phone got knocked off to the ground and broke!” Lyla replied mildly. However, Mark Pattinson frowned and looked at her askance. Just then, he suddenly remembered something and asked, “Why didn’t you stay put in the company and came here?” Lyla panicked and almost let go of the documents in her hands, which were about to scatter all over the place. “Director Turner asked me to head out and sign this contract. So I had no choice but to follow!” said Lyla resignatedly. Mark Pattinson’s face was gloomy. His brows knitted together as he took the documents from her hands. He flipped them open and read them. But when he saw the document, he frowned, and his expression turned darker and graver. The next moment, before Lyla knew what was going on, he let out a snort. Then, he snapped the folder close harshly and tossed them into the car boot, sending all the papers flying. “What’s wrong?” Lyla Lowe asked.
