My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！-Chapter 749 - 748

749 Chapter 748

Ellie was in shock.

She glanced over at Ryan again.

Ryan had seen the scene, too, but his brow was still furrowed, tight with concern.

There was no denying it; they both knew that even if Keira charged ahead, she wouldn’t catch up. And even if she did… what could she possibly do?

He slammed on the brakes, desperate to get them to respond.

But nothing happened!

Taking a deep breath, Ryan focused on the road ahead.

At this speed, the sports car could easily top three hundred miles per hour—totally unsafe for this kind of terrain!

A single bump could send the car airborne or roll it over!

Especially since…

Just up ahead, there were several sharp turns.

At this speed, they had no chance of making it around the corners!

He inhaled sharply; pulling the handbrake wouldn’t do any good. Just then, he heard Ellie shout, “She’s catching up!”

Ryan blinked and glanced in the rearview mirror.

To his shock, the SUV was indeed gaining on them, closing the distance rapidly…

At this speed…

Ryan frowned.

Ellie’s car was a convertible, and Keira’s car soon caught up with them. Keira rolled down her window.

From the passenger seat, Ellie could talk to Keira. “Why are you chasing us?”

Keira replied, “What’s wrong with the car?”

“The brakes have failed!”

“Have you tried engine braking with the handbrake?”

Ellie nodded vigorously. “I’ve been doing that for ages, but it’s not helping!”

Keira glanced ahead and saw the road was clear, but the upcoming turns had guardrails on both sides, making it impossible to slow down.

Ellie sensed Keira’s silence and spoke up again, “You shouldn’t follow us! We’re going too fast; the car could flip at any moment!”

But Keira didn’t respond. Instead, she asked, “Why did the brakes fail?”

She’d come to help for two reasons: to save them and to figure out if the sports car had been tampered with. Was the South family’s prophecy due to human interference or something supernatural?

Ellie was nearly in tears. “Does any of that even matter right now?”

Keira nodded. “It’s very important.”

Before Ellie could argue, Ryan interjected calmly, “We need to stop and check the car to find out what’s wrong, but…”

His voice softened, “Ms. Olsen, you might never know the truth. At this speed, we won’t make it around the next turn without crashing into a building, and the car will be totaled.”

Clearly, he understood what Keira was implying.

It was hard for him to believe—someone who’d never trusted the supernatural was starting to wonder if the South family’s prophecy might actually be true.

The prophecy suggested that if Keira hadn’t stopped him from leaving, he would have had an accident on the road.

But since she intervened, it led to this car failure…

The South family’s prophecy felt more like a curse—death was inevitable. Even if they avoided immediate danger, they would ultimately pay the price!

Seeing Ryan understand her point, Keira said, “Mr. Cobb, I don’t believe in these things, but there’s a reason behind this. So stay calm, grip the steering wheel, and wait for help!”

At these speeds, any slip with the steering wheel could mean disaster.

Ryan didn’t say anything, but he gripped the wheel firmly.

Ellie, however, was crying, “Help? Who’s coming to rescue us? Why is this happening? Did I offend someone?”

“Shut up,” Ryan snapped.

Ellie fell silent.

Keira looked at her. “Don’t be scared; I’m here to save you.”

With that, she rolled up her window.

When the window was open, the wind rushed in, which affected her speed!

Ellie stared, confused, and turned to Ryan. “What did she just say? She’s going to save us? How is that even possible?!”

Ryan couldn’t help but glance at her but quickly turned his focus back to the road.

“There’s no time,” he said flatly.

They were just a thousand feet from the sharp turn, and at this speed, there was no way to save anyone.

Just then, he heard the screeching of tires from beside them, and the SUV behind them accelerated!

It shot ahead of their car!

Ryan was stunned by Keira’s maneuver.

Ellie was in shock, too. “How is she doing that? She’s just a woman! That’s not even a sports car! How could she control her speed to pass us? Even if she does, how will she save us?”

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, Keira swerved her vehicle into their lane, positioning herself directly in front of them!

“Ahhh! We’re going to crash!”

Ellie screamed as their car jolted from the impact, colliding with the SUV!

But because Keira had controlled her speed, the two vehicles only brushed against each other, avoiding a serious crash. She gently applied the brakes!

Her large SUV gradually slowed down, bringing the sports car with it!

They were saved!
