Chapter 74

Chapter 74 Anne was entirely consumed by hatred . Before Giselle could react , she suddenly shoved her hard . With a dull thud , Giselle's body was thrown into the street , landing right in the blind spot of an oncoming truck . The massive vehicle roared toward her like an unstoppable beast . With its deafening engine and sheer size barreling down , it was too late to escape . She rolled her body just in time in a split - second surge of survival instinct .

Somehow , she avoided the front wheels and ended up flat beneath the truck's chassis . The roar of the engine , the terror of being moments away from being crushed to death - it was paralyzing . She stayed frozen underneath , heart pounding out of her chest . It felt like centuries passed before the truck finally numbled past . When it was gone , she could hardly believe she was still alive .

She scrambled back to the sidewalk and collapsed in a heap , breathing hard , her brain spinning and heart still hammering with panic Thank God for her experience with extreme sports . Her body was light and agile , and her mind was sharp enough to react under pressure . Anyone else might have frozen on the spot , paralyzed by fear , and ended up a smear of blood and broken bones . Looking up , she saw Anne standing nearby , pale - faced and stunned . Clearly , she hadn't run .

She looked genuinely shaken . But the moment she realized Giselle had come out unharmed , her fear twisted into pure rage . " you filthy bitch ! You really don't know when to die , do you ? " Anne spat , then turned and stormed off to her car . Meanwhile , a few bystanders who had seen the whole thing rushed over and asked Giselle if she was alright .

The truck driver , who had braked just in time , also came over to check on her Giselle briefly explained what had happened and pulled out her phone to call the police . Two officers arrived shonly after to assess her injuries and take her statement . She told them everything - how Anne had pushed her , deliberately trying to kill her during their argument .

But since she only had a scraped lose and no major injuries , the police explained that they'd need evidence before arresting the suspect . Unfortunately , the spot where it happened was a side street with very little foot traffic . No one saw the actual moment Anne pushed her , and there were no direct Witnesses The officers said they would request footage from a nearby traffic camera to check if it caught the incident .

If the footage confined her claim , they would summon Anne for questioning . Back at her clinic , Giselle took a long breath to calm herself down . Even though she wasn't hurt , the thought of what almost happened made her feel taint . Her hands and feet were still ice - cold She could understand Anne's deep hatred for her , but she hadn't expected Anne to go this far , to try to all her without hesitation Whatever the outcome , this was attempted murder . It met the legal threshold .
