Even when the car got very close to where she stood, Joanna was still unaware of what was happening.
The car racing at top speed was about to hit her when a guy running at the speed of lightning grabbed Joanna's hand and together they disappeared from the front of the car.
Everything happened so fast that the girls didn't see that their plan failed.
"Come let's confirm whether she is dead," Sophie said as she opened the door and stepped out of the car.
The first place she looked at was the floor. She searched for signs of blood that indicates the accident that happened but to her greatest surprise there was no blood.
Sophie raised her gaze to stare at her friends now standing outside the car.
"Is it that I am not seeing clearly or is it really true that there are no blood stains on the ground?" Sophie said.
"Wasn't she standing right here so where the hell had she disappeared to?" Tiffany asked.
She bent and looked under the car but still no dead body was under the car nor was there any blood stain.
To them, everything felt like a very big joke.
When they got far away from where the incident took place, the one who saved Joanna released her hands.
"Why is it you, Chris?" Joanna asked, not able to hide her astonishment.
She stared at the guy wearing a black outfit for answers.
Chris didn't get the chance to answer Joanna's question when someone bumped into him and pushed him away to take over his place.
"Anna, are you ok? Did you get hurt anywhere?" Audrey spun Joanna around as she examined her body.
"I am fine… but why do you look so anxious?" Joanna asked not understanding why Audrey was acting the way she did.
Audrey let go of Joanna after confirming that she was not hurt.
"I was rushing to come to meet you when I overheard the students talking about how the mean witches were planning to run you over with a car," Audrey relayed seriously.
"I was so scared that it would be too late before I reached you but I am happy to see you unscathed".
"Was that what they were planning to do?" Joanna asked carefreely.
"Do you mean to tell me that you didn't know about their plans?" Audrey asked suspiciously.
"If you were not aware of their plans, how come you are fine?"
Joanna turned to face the guy whom both she and Audrey had ignored.
"That was the same thing I was about to ask Chris before you arrived. I guess that must have been the reason why he suddenly grabbed my hands and brought me here," Joanna was quick to analyze what happened.
Audrey, who didn't see Chris earlier, frowned on getting a glimpse of his face.
"Chris, why are you on campus instead of at the palace?" Joanna asked, giving Chris suspicious glances.
She took a look at him again. It was then she realised that he wasn't wearing his official clothes.
"And how exactly did you know that I was going to get attacked to come to my rescue at the nick of time?"
"Who knows what he and his stupid King are planning," Audrey sneered.
"Did you just call our King stupid?" Joanna asked looking around to make sure that none was eavesdropping on their conversation.
"What would you do if others hear you say that…,"
"As if I care," Audrey said nonchalantly. She turned her back on Chris.
"His Majesty is not stupid, point of correct Miss Audrey," Chris said sternly.
"Second he is not planning anything bad about Miss Joanna…,"
"As if I will believe that bullshit," Audrey said hatefully. Her harsh words and attitude didn't go down well with Chris.
"And it doesn't matter whether or not you believe what I said. What's important is that Miss Joanna believes me," Chris said fiercely.
"Chris, don't take what she says to heart. She has always had a bad temper…,"
"You think I am acting this way because of my bad temper?" Audrey asked, turning to face Joanna.
"You think I am an insane person who goes around picking on innocent people…,"
"You know that is not what I mean so why are you acting this way?" Joanna was surprised to see Audrey react this way to the words that were supposed to be a joke.
"I have always been very good to him in the past. Do you think I would have gotten this furious if not because of what this heartless jerk and Kayden did on the night you disappeared?"
"He…,"
"Ever since you came back His Majesty is always scared that you might get into trouble and that is why he specifically assigned each of his guards to protect you daily," Chris deliberately cut in not wanting Audrey to disclose what happened that night to Joanna.
"He ordered us never to mention this to you but I have no choice but to tell you all this because I am scared that someone might misguide you into thinking that the King is a bad person…,"
"Did you just say I would misguide her huh?" Audrey asked, glaring at Chris.
She walked forward and closed the gap between them.
"Say that just one more time and I will…,"
"Drey, let's not make a scene ok, people are staring?" Joanna grabbed Audrey's hand and pulled her away from Chris.
"We were about to go hang out together so let's go ok?" Joanna said seeing how Audrey had refused to budge.
"I don't know whatever the two of you are planning concerning Anna but let me tell you, with me around I will never let you both succeed," Audrey said coldly, her murderous glares directed at Chris.
"Neither will I let you succeed either," Chris said, not backing down.
Audrey breaks free from Joanna's grip the instant she hears Chris's provocative words.
She stood in front of him looking at him from eyeballs to eyeballs.
Seeing them exchange murderous glares made Joanna wonder what has suddenly come over her best friend.
"Say that word again," Audrey ordered in a cold tone.

A VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
HAPPY NEW MONTH 🎆🎆🎆!!!
First of all, I would like to apologise to regular readers for not updating chapters for the past three days.
Sorry, I couldn't meet up with the daily updates for you guys, it's just that I was trying to set up the privileged chapters that is why.
As you know it's a new month and as usual time for new goals.
GOALS FOR JULY 2022
GOAL 1: Reach 1,000 (1k) privileged chapter unlock to get five (5) extra chapters the following month.
To reach this particular goal you guys have to buy the privileged chapters and not just buy them but make sure to unlock the chapters daily.
Please support my work by buying the privileged chapters and unlocking the chapters daily because this is the only way the privileged chapter unlock will count.
Apart from the 5 chapters mass release, those who buy privileged chapters will stand a chance to win a coin code worth 100 coins the next month.
Isn't this amazing?
GOAL 2: Every 50 GOLDEN TICKETS we get this month guarantees you guys 3 extra chapters.
That is to say that if we receive 200 GOLDEN TICKETS this July 2022, you guys stand a chance of getting extra nine (9) chapters. The daily updates are not included.
Isn't this such a fantastic bargain?
GOAL 3: For every 100 power stones this book receives each week, three (3) extra chapters will be uploaded the next week as a reward for the goal.
This is to say that if we get 200 power stones this week, in the following week I will give six chapters mass release without the inclusion of the daily two chapters.
Please let's try hard to complete the goals. I strongly believe we can do this, don't you agree with me on this?
Visit and read more novel to help us update chapter quickly. Thank you so much!
