Chapter 1222: Chapter 1222
Allen Rivera found it inconvenient to comnt on others’ private affairs, so he thought for a mont and said, “Aunt Spencer is very wise.”
Jane McCain agreed, patting her chest and nodding, “I also think this thod works. After a few blind dates, my heart doesn’t race as much.”
The two of them chatted as they walked. Outside the restaurant, Allen retrieved the car, and Jane’s eyes imdiately brightened, “Prosecutor Rivera, you got a new car? It’s so pretty!”
Allen responded with a faint “Hmm.”
Jane sat in the car and tried the seat cushion, sticking her head out of the window, “A new car must have cost a lot, right? No wonder Sister Aria always says you have a high salary. Just looking at your cars, one can tell!”
Allen: “…”
Sitting in the driver’s seat, Allen started the car and said to Jane, “Aria’s salary isn’t low either. She has her reasons for not changing her car.”
“What reasons?” Jane asked curiously, “Sister Aria’s old Jeep feels like it’s on the verge of being scrapped, but she still keeps driving it.”
Allen said, “Because no other car can stand her abuse.”
Jane suddenly ca to a realization…
…
The car got on the road, smoothly driving on the highway.
It was nearly eleven o’clock, and there weren’t many vehicles on the road, making conditions smooth.
Jane sat in the back seat, looked out both sides of the windows, and felt the car was quite slow, so she couldn’t help but say, “If you’re not familiar with the road, you can use GPS. Do you need to turn on the navigation on my phone?”
Allen calmly looked ahead, “The speed limit on this road is 40.”
Is there such a low-speed limit segnt in the city?
After leaving the outer ring road of the city, Allen’s speed finally increased a bit, but just a bit.
Jane glanced at the roadside pole, which showed a speed limit of 60. Looking at Allen’s speed in front, it was steadily at 55.
So ticulous with the rules…
Jane sighed internally and sat quietly in the car, thinking that her ho was quite close by anyway. Even at this speed, they should arrive in ten minutes at the latest.
But after a while, the car slowed down again!
This doesn’t make sense! They’ve already passed the outer ring road, so why slow down again?!
Jane looked out the window, staring as a man on an electric tricycle sped past them smoothly and disappeared quickly!
Jane couldn’t hold it in, “Prosecutor Rivera…”
As if knowing what she was about to say, Allen explained, “There’s a school ahead, so we need to slow down.”
“But it’s already 11 PM, the students have long since gone ho!”
Allen still said calmly, “We can’t rule out the possibility of students attending evening self-study and wandering nearby.”
Jane: “…”
She suddenly rembered sothing… Once when she was in Aria’s car, she was jolted so much that she almost threw up. At that ti, Aria said: If you had ever ridden in Allen’s car, you’d know that riding in mine is a luxury.
Indeed, indeed…
Passing by the school area, the car slowly picked up speed, and Allen said, “Don’t worry, we’ll be there soon.”
Jane thought to herself: With your strong principles, there’s no use in being anxious…
Just as she was thinking this, Allen suddenly braked sharply, causing Jane’s head to bump against the seatback!
——Bang!
“Are you okay?” Allen asked.
“No…” Jane covered her forehead, painfully asking, “What just happened?”
“A stray cat.”
Well, for the sake of innocent little animals, she could take this bump.
The file bag originally placed on the back seat was thrown under the seat due to inertia, scattering the docunts and photos inside everywhere.
Jane picked them up and put them back into the file bag one by one.
These were Allen’s work docunts, not suitable for others to see. He was about to remind Jane when she glanced at a photo and casually said, “Prosecutors handle theft cases too? You sure are busy…”
The words at Allen’s lips stopped, and he suspiciously furrowed his brows, “Why do you think it’s a theft case?”
“Huh?” Jane was stunned, “Isn’t it? Weren’t the jewels on the ring pried off?”
