The Amazing Strike Back: Mommy Wants To Revenge!-Chapter 368: The Game Begins

Conrad Sterling rarely drinks this much!

Anyone with a bit of insight could tell that President Sterling was off today.

Even though Ethan Hawthorne instructed that today’s gathering was to celebrate President Sterling’s birthday, and everyone’s task was to make him happy without indulging in those grimy pleasures that would bother him.

But everyone had tried before; not many could get their flattery right.

Besides, Conrad Sterling didn’t need anyone to rile him up. Just looking at him, you’d know he was in a bad mood. At this point, no one dared to annoy President Sterling.

It was already past midnight. Conrad Sterling left the club after drinking and declined Ethan Hawthorne’s request to personally drive him home, parting ways with those ’cronies’ outside the club.

Conrad Sterling deliberately walked a stretch alone.

His tall, straight silhouette was elongated under the streetlight, making him appear even more solitary. He had always walked alone on the streets like this.

The man curled his lips in self-mockery, then darkened his expression and shouted sharply, "Come out!"

There were few people on this road, and at this time, no one was wandering the streets; it seemed like Conrad Sterling was the only one.

But with the man’s voice, suddenly, a girl emerged from the shadow of a nearby street tree.

Riley Osborne had seen Conrad Sterling at the club earlier, but since Ethan Hawthorne was there too, she didn’t dare approach.

She deliberately waited until they walked apart before silently following him.

She had only followed for a short stretch, less than two minutes.

Riley Osborne thought she was well hidden, but she didn’t expect Conrad Sterling to discover her so easily.

"President Sterling... are you alright?" Riley Osborne asked, looking at him with some concern.

"I’m fine."

"But you drank a lot of alcohol."

"Can you tell?"

Riley Osborne shook her head: "I just feel it!"

Sometimes a woman’s intuition can go beyond reason, especially when it’s someone she likes.

Riley Osborne could not only sense that Conrad Sterling drank a lot. She could even feel that it was due to emotional issues.

No matter if it were from news or magazine interviews, President Sterling was always buttoned to the top and stayed sober and restrained.

He seldom got himself drunk; such a person seldom allowed himself to lose control even once. Riley Osborne suddenly felt sorry for him; surely something had happened that upset him.

Seeing Conrad Sterling about to leave, Riley Osborne suddenly dared to ask, "President Sterling, do you need help?"

"..."

"You helped me before. Although that little help may seem insignificant to you, today I want to tell you that your presence was very important to me. If there’s an opportunity, I want to repay you!"

Had it not been for Conrad Sterling’s words, Riley Osborne might still be trapped in a dead end.

She really wanted, really wanted to have an opportunity to repay President Sterling.

However, Conrad Sterling’s response was still a dismissive, "I didn’t help you with anything."

...

Tonight, Anna Thornton was also drunk.

She wasn’t drunk because of alcohol; drinking less than a bottle couldn’t get her drunk.

She just felt emotionally exhausted!

Called out in the middle of the night, forced to play along with Finn Grant as her co-actor, she could manage.

The crew insisted on dragging her into the KTV to party wildly for most of the night, only letting her go just now.

After she left, Finn Grant followed her out, offering to drive Anna Thornton home.

How could Anna Thornton let him take her?

Not only couldn’t Finn Grant know where she lived now, but Finn Grant had also drunk a lot today, and Anna Thornton wasn’t going to risk her life.

However, Finn Grant’s stubborn nature forced Anna Thornton into his car and fastened her securely in the passenger seat with a seatbelt.

Anna Thornton: "..."

The key is, this scene was coincidentally witnessed by Conrad Sterling.

Aethelgard is certainly big, but sometimes it’s just so small.

The place where Anna Thornton sang KTV happened to be close to where Ethan Hawthorne’s crew had arranged for Conrad Sterling’s birthday celebration.

After President Sterling finished dealing with Riley Osborne and turned back to drive, he saw the scene of Anna Thornton and Finn Grant pulling and tugging in front of the car.

In the end, Anna Thornton sat in Finn Grant’s passenger seat.

Whether she was willing or not, this scene was particularly conspicuous before Conrad Sterling.

Anna Thornton ditched him, apparently to come here and meet Finn Grant. Judging by how the two looked, they seemed to have been drinking together.

This makes Granny Chandler’s words seem false; seeing Anna Thornton, how does she seem like she’s in a hurry to finish and get back? Not a bit!

She hadn’t considered spending the evening having a birthday dinner with him!

And he sat there waiting like a fool for so long?

At this moment, Conrad Sterling’s chest burned with unspoken rage.

As he saw Anna Thornton being pulled into the car by Finn Grant, he did not rush to chase after.

Instead, he opened his car door, stepped on the accelerator, and drove straight into the car ahead.

Bang—

The sound of a collision shocked Anna Thornton, fortunate her seatbelt was tightly fastened.

She turned to look at the rearview mirror and found the car that hit Finn Grant’s car was a Bentley.

The license plate was one she knew well!

"Damn! Conrad Sterling?"

In contrast to Anna Thornton’s shock, Finn Grant seemed very excited, as if he had been waiting for this day for a long time.

With his hands on the steering wheel, Finn Grant countered with a reverse drive and then stepped hard on the accelerator, rushing out.

Before speeding off, he took the chance to remind Anna Thornton, "Hold on tight; the game begins!"

Anna Thornton: "..."

Hell no, she didn’t want to play this game; she just wanted out.

"Finn Grant, pull over, I want to get out!"

How they played was up to them, but Anna Thornton wanted no part in their madness.

However, Finn Grant said, "What did you say?"

The engine noise was too loud, Finn Grant was too hyped up to hear.

Anna Thornton: "..."

If it were just Finn Grant ’having his fun,’ it would be one thing, but Conrad Sterling was also like he had taken drugs, relentlessly pursuing them from behind.

Wait, why did this scene feel so familiar?

There was a previous time when Anna Thornton sat in Conrad Sterling’s passenger seat, chased by Finn Grant from behind.

Today, the roles of the two men were reversed, but Anna Thornton remained, as did the fear in her heart controlled by the speeding cars.

And this time it was on a bigger scale!

Conrad Sterling’s car, like it was possessed, rear-ended Finn Grant’s several times.

Anna Thornton felt that Finn Grant’s two tail lights should have been damaged.

If it continued this way, there could be a car accident.

Conrad Sterling was serious; Anna Thornton grabbed the safety belt, looking at the rearview mirror, suspecting that man had really lost it.

Back then, some said Finn Grant was mentally unstable and dangerous. Now, who exactly is more dangerous?

The facts speak; Anna Thornton no longer cared to comment, suspecting that tonight all three might end up hurt, unable to wrap things up.

However, facts proved Conrad Sterling was more stable in mental state compared to Finn Grant.

Despite being angry and rear-ending, he controlled his strength each time he crashed into Finn Grant’s car. He damaged Finn Grant’s taillights and trunk but didn’t harm the one sitting in the passenger seat.

Finally, no car accident occurred—they were stopped by the traffic police.

Late at night on certain roads in Aethelgard, many rich kids enjoy speeding.

But stopping these two left the traffic police shocked.

Especially Conrad Sterling, usually seen in news as an endlessly busy President Sterling, yet had time for midnight street racing?

Maybe the bigger the business, the greater the pressure. Seeing the damage on both Bentley and Rolls-Royce, the traffic police felt a pang of regret.

Forget it, money for the rich isn’t really money!

But even for the wealthy, traffic rules must be adhered to!

The required alcohol test must still be done!

The test results came out, both men had been drinking, clearly quite a lot.

Anna Thornton was much more calm now. She took the opportunity when Finn Grant’s car was stopped to go to a nearby open mall bathroom, and after vomiting, returned unfazed.

Yet being calm wasn’t enough to cover her mood of feeling damned as she accompanied the two men, caught up and sent to the police station.
