Chapter 367 Claustrophobia

I desperately clung to the driver's seat, trying to prevent myself from falling. A suffocating sense of despair overwhelmed me at that moment.

As the car was about to flip over, it jerked back into position with a thud. The impact made my injured foot hit something, giving me a piercing pain. My vision darkened, and my ears rang as I hugged my legs.

I didn't know what would happen next. I could only think about not dying in the car. Suddenly, I heard someone shouting, "Chloe?! Stop it, all of you! Chlo!"

I knew it was Ryan's voice. Despairingly, I yelled, "Leave me! Go!"

I sensed two groups fighting, constantly tugging the car but no longer causing it to tip over. I curled into a ball to protect my legs and prayed for the disaster to end.

Heavy objects crashed into the car, causing me to tremble. A long while later, someone called my name. and knocked on the car window. "Chloe, it's okay! Open the door!"

I recognized Ryan's voice and nervously obeyed. He climbed into the car, and I threw myself into him in a

panic.

"Don't be afraid. The cops are here." Ryan held me and patted my back. I shivered uncontrollably but held back my tears. I buried my face in his chest and tried to compose myself as tears welled in my eyes. Ryan stroked my back. "It's okay, Chloe. I'm sorry for leaving your

alone."

"Ryan, I was gripping

You'd get hurt if you returned. I'm okay. Those people were crazy." I q

his hand. I was still shaking because of the recent harrowing experiences.

Ryan said sternly, "Someone came to help us. Someone instigated that crowd to attack. The cops are

outside now."

The cops?" I felt a sense of relief. "Someone must've called for help."

Ryan turned grim, looking like he wanted to say more but held back. Shortly after, someone knocked on

the car window again. Ryan patted my shoulder. "It's okay now. Let's get out."

I could no longer hear the fighting outside. It seemed like the world had regained some semblance of

peace. However, my hands continued to shake as I looked at Ryan with fear. He nodded firmly, "Let's go.

Don't be afraid."

I took a deep breath and steadied my emotions when Ryan released me. He exited the car first, then went to the other side to help me out,

Everything smelled of eggs and a tinge of blood. Outside were traffic police and a group of bodyguards, even armed forces. When I looked back at Ryan's car, it was almost unrepairable.

Ryan still protected me as we walked with the bodyguards toward Galar Tower. My injured foot struck something earlier, causing the pain to intensify. Ryan noticed my struggles and carried me.

Along the way, the cops subdued the crowd. The once chaotic crowd became hushed. The traffic police had even cleared the road leading to the underground parking. It allowed the waiting vehicles to enter, significantly easing the road congestion.

I never expected to cause such chaos. Naturally, I was anxious and uncertain about how to handle the aftermath. When we arrived at Galar Tower, I noticed the press conference had relocated to occur outside the building.

People crowded the area, surrounded by the special forces. Under the bodyguards' protection, Ryan carried me to the venue. Surprisingly, the press conference was no longer just about Tanum Corporation because the authorities had involved themselves in this.

When I arrived, someone announced that the press conference had officially begun.
