Chapter 11 Fish Begins to Stink at the Head
Edward stamped on the brake and the sports car was pushed a distance due to inertia. Jane turned pale with fright, naively thinking that this should be the end. But Edward was in reverse. After the car retreated more than ten meters, he stepped on the gas again to quickly move forward.
Jane was so stunned that she could only watch without saying a word.
After a loud bang, the Urus's head rested on the dented rear of the sports car. Jane leaned hard against the back of the passenger seat, thinking how to go back to twenty minutes ago. At that time, she hadn't gotten into the car yet.
Actually, Edward wasn't the only one going crazy. The more deranged Ferrari owner put his car on the reverse and slammed on the gas pedal to confront Edward. In an instant, the engines of the two cars roared at each other like beasts, and the tires screeched sharply against the ground.
Listening to the constantly ringing alarm in the car, Jane who was sitting in the car only felt that every single sound hit the nerves she thought were powerful. Finally, she turned her head sideways and said to Edward, "Mr. Smith, calm down please. Your son is still waiting for you at home!"
Edward was still indifferent, which made her even more fearful.
Jane began to believe that Jennifer was not alarmist. Dealing with people like him was no longer a matter of being observing, but a matter of life safety.
"Sit still."
Just as she was thinking, Edward suddenly spoke. Jane paused, then quickly found the handle above her head and pulled it hard.
After Edward released the accelerator completely, the car was pushed back immediately. He temporarily turned the steering wheel, and Jane only felt her right arm slam against the door. After that, the whole car got rid of the suppression in an instant. Without a word, he stepped on the accelerator again and dropped the sports car more than 100 meters in a few seconds.
Jane looked nervously in the rearview mirror and saw that the red sports car was not catching up. Then, she glanced at the man sitting in the driver's seat from the corner of her eye. At this moment, he was still indifferent, as if what just happened was not a deliberately serious traffic accident, but just a small incident that was close to danger.
After the car was back on the right road and steadily driving, Jane retracted her white right hand while trying to relax her crumpled left hand. Then, she leaned over to pick up the bag that had fallen under her feet and smoothed the folds without a word. She continued to watch these things as if nothing had happened.
After a while, a low male voice suddenly came from beside her, "The napkins are in the cabinet in front of you."
Hearing Edward's words, Jane's heartbeat suddenly quickened. But she still opened the locker calmly and drew a napkin to wipe the cold sweat from her palm. Then, she said as usual, "Thank you."
Edward asked, "Anything want to ask?"
Jane said, "How is Justin's math? I haven't had a chance to ask you these few times."
Hearing this, Edward, who has always been indifferent, was slightly surprised. Then he said, "Miss Cooper, you're so calm that you didn't cry and get out of the car."
Jane smiled and said, "You don't feel bad for the car. Then I don't need to cry."
Hearing this, Edward stopped talking. They were silent all the way until they entered the mid-level villa area. Jane had taught several prominent students while she was in school at Y City. But Y City was the capital after all.
Therefore, no matter how powerful people were, they could only live in courtyards with historical background, large flats with artificial lakes, or villas with limited area outside the fifth ring road.
In the Smith family, Jane knew what real wealth was like. There were more than ten garages here. Looking at the row of doors, Jane was not surprised that Edward would drive a car worth more than four million as a bumper car.
After parking in the yard, someone came to greet them. Jane followed Edward into the villa. A white-haired old man stood at the door with his waist up and waited. After greeting Edward, he nodded towards Jane, "Greetings, I'm Sam Williams, the housekeeper here."
Jane responded politely, "Hi, I'm Jane Cooper."
Edward changed his shoes and went straight in. Sam was in charge of receiving Jane, "Everyone in this family calls me Sam. Miss Cooper, you can also call me Sam if you don't mind. And the young master's room is upstairs."
Jane and Edward didn't walk together on the first floor of the huge villa. She followed Sam to the door of a room on the second floor. Sam knocked on the door and said, "Miss Cooper is here."
With no one responding, Sam helped Jane open the door. He made a gesture of invitation, "The young master is probably still sleeping. You can tell us at any time if you need anything."
Hearing this, Jane nodded and stepped inside.
The room was big. She entered a living room first. Since the floor-to-ceiling windows were all hung with curtains, the room was dimly lit. She walked silently on the carpet in soft sheepskin-soled slippers. There are doors on both sides of her. She was hesitating, only to hear a male voice faintly, "The second room on the right."
Jane came to the door of the room and said, "Hello, I'm a new tutor."
After a while, the person inside the door said, "Come in."
After pushing the door and walking in, Jane found that the light in the room was so dark that she couldn't see anything. She was about to speak when she heard the sound of the door closing behind her. She pressed the door handle down, but it wouldn't open.
Without the shimmering light outside the door, the interior was as dark as no light could penetrate. Jane turned on the flashlight in her phone and looked ahead. Following the limited light, she even looked at a pair of reflective glass balls. After staring at it for three seconds, she finally realized that behind the glass balls, there was a body nearly two meters long, which was slightly green in the gray with grainy skin like armor.
At first glance, she was indeed startled. She thought it was a crocodile.
But after a closer look, she realized that it was a lizard, an American iguana, a large domestic lizard. Most importantly, it was herbivorous.
Just as she and the lizard looked at each other, she suddenly felt a slight touch from the top of her head. Jane quickly raised her head and pointed her phone to the lighting above. The 'other' was startled and shrank up a few inches. It was a golden python with a body thicker than her legs, which was coiled on the artificial pergola above, only sticking its head down to watch.
Jane looked at it just half an arm's distance away.
Tired of tilting her head up, Jane retracted her gaze and used her phone to scan the entire room.
In a closed room of thirty or forty square meters, there were more than twenty cold-blooded animals of no less than five varieties. Anyone who sees this scene would be horrified.
After the initial surprise, Jane walked back and forth with a calm expression. On the third lap, she stopped in front of an incubator and stared somewhere. Inside the incubator is an emerald green snake. She didn't look at the snake, but at the camera which was hidden in the corner and not easy to find.
Looking at the camera, Jane said cheerfully, "Hello, Justin. I'm Jane, the new tutor."
