Chapter 723: Chapter 723: Sidney Dalton’s Escape

Before Roxanne Sutton could even open her mouth, he had already disappeared from her sight.

She had no choice but to retract her gaze.

But staring at the parked vehicles in front of her, Roxanne Sutton fell into deep thought.

The person left without taking the keys.

And the car door was left ajar, clearly indicating it was meant for someone.

Roxanne Sutton instinctively turned to Sidney Dalton.

Since Sidney Dalton emerged, the crowd’s attention focused on him, even the cameras were fixed on him.

So the recent disturbance, apart from Roxanne Sutton noticing it, everyone else was focused on Sidney Dalton.

As Sidney Dalton was about to reach the vehicle assigned to escort him, he suddenly stopped.

The crowd, for a moment, halted their discussions along with his actions.

They looked at each other, puzzled by Sidney Dalton’s sudden halt.

And the two security personnel accompanying him frowned slightly.

They exchanged a glance, then prepared to urge Sidney Dalton to continue moving.

Just as they were about to speak, suddenly they heard the screech and collision of vehicles.

’Screech!...’

’Bang!!’

The loud noise erupted, drawing everyone’s attention instinctively toward it.

At the side of the road, two cars suddenly collided, involving many other nearby vehicles!

Everyone’s attention was drawn to this commotion.

Naturally, they didn’t notice that Sidney Dalton, who had been looking down, suddenly raised his head!

A glint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and before the security personnel could react, he suddenly pushed them aside, running straight toward...

"Ah! He’s escaped!!!"

A bystander exclaimed!

Immediately, everyone hurriedly shifted their gaze back from the car accident.

But it was already too late; Sidney Dalton rushed through the crowd with all his might.

His fierce gaze intimidated everyone, making them instinctively step aside.

This allowed Sidney Dalton to pass through unimpeded.

By the time the security personnel reacted, Sidney Dalton had already reached the black vehicle’s door!

With so many people around, the security personnel couldn’t use firearms in front of the crowd to avoid collateral damage.

Moreover, Sidney Dalton’s sudden action caused the crowd to panic, and the security personnel couldn’t stop him before he got in the car.

Roxanne Sutton was the nearest to the black vehicle; seeing the situation unfold, her face suddenly turned pale.

"Wake up! You can’t leave!"

Roxanne Sutton suddenly shouted.

Sidney Dalton didn’t respond; he merely glanced at Roxanne Sutton.

That one look caused cold dread to seep into Roxanne Sutton’s heart.

Those were ruthless eyes, yet there was not the slightest gleam in Sidney Dalton’s eyes.

He appeared lifeless, as if every action was under someone else’s control.

Roxanne Sutton realized something; she instinctively started to move.

Seeing Sidney Dalton start the car, Roxanne Sutton didn’t hesitate to jump into the vehicle!

She barely settled in before Sidney Dalton sped away,

"Catch him!!!"

The chief of security didn’t anticipate this turn of events and quickly issued orders.

The security personnel immediately took action.

However, due to the dense crowd and the distraction caused by the earlier accident,

they were delayed by a minute in pursuing Sidney Dalton.

In a desperate bid to escape, Sidney Dalton continually accelerated and ran through red lights.

Meanwhile, Selena Kensington, frozen as she witnessed the accident, felt an odd sensation in her heart, "An accident at this moment?"

Selena murmured softly.

Without having time to ponder, she saw Sidney Dalton break free from restraints and escape from the cameras.

Selena could see the broadcast cameras frantically shifting, then noticed the car parked by the roadside. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Selena’s eyes widened slightly.

"I remember there wasn’t any car behind Roxanne Sutton just now."

She had deliberately glanced at Roxanne Sutton and remembered details about her surroundings.

This black vehicle appeared suddenly!

And Sidney Dalton’s target was that black vehicle!

Could Sidney Dalton have arranged external support?!

But that’s impossible.

Given the sudden nature of the security intervention, it’s unlikely Sidney Dalton foresaw it.

Moreover, the security people immediately took him back, prohibiting any visits during this period.

So there was no chance for Sidney Dalton to contact anyone.

Could it be... an inside job within the security agency?

Or perhaps, The Godsbane Organization rescued Sidney Dalton!

But wasn’t Sidney Dalton already considered a discarded pawn in their eyes?

Why would they risk exposing themselves to save Sidney Dalton?!

The more Selena thought, the more tangled she became, then saw Roxanne Sutton hurriedly climb into the car with Sidney Dalton.

At that moment, Selena suddenly calmed down.

It’s impossible for Roxanne Sutton and Sidney Dalton to be in collusion.

The car couldn’t have been arranged by Roxanne Sutton.

So what’s the reason for Roxanne Sutton going after him?

Is she trying to stop Sidney Dalton?

Or is she trying to save Sidney Dalton?

While Selena pondered, the internet exploded with discussions about Sidney Dalton’s escape.

[Isn’t this a deliberate escape?!]

[A sudden accident, combined with a conveniently ready vehicle — this had to be premeditated!]

[No wonder Sidney Dalton was so quiet earlier! He had a contingency plan!]

[Hopes the security does their job! Don’t let him get away!]

[He’s too brazen and shows complete disregard for the law! How could he escape under the eyes of The Empire’s citizens!]

After that, the live broadcast ceased.

The security chief mobilized resources, locking down the routes within Aethelgard and deploying all available personnel.

With so many citizens witnessing it, not to mention hundreds of thousands of online viewers.

If the matter isn’t handled properly, it would severely disadvantage the security agency.

The public would question the competence of the security agency, diminishing trust in it.

It’s a scenario the security can’t afford.

As Selena watched the broadcast screen go dark, she abruptly stood up.

Her hastened and abrupt movements caused her unborn child to jolt inside her, seemingly startled.

"Hiss..."

Selena, having just stood up, grimaced and lay back down.

Sterling Norwood didn’t expect Selena to abruptly get up; just as he wanted to reproach her, he saw Selena’s face contorted slightly in pain.
