Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1290

"Yes." Tom nodded with a serious expression.

"How did that happen?" Sonia frowned tightly and asked curiously, "What about the casualties?"

He sighed and replied, "There were four people in the Acrees' car, the three family members and the driver, while there was only one driver in the other car. Two cars collided not far from the Acrees' house. Because the Acrees' car is more expensive, it has better anti-collision measures. Although the car was damaged beyond repair, the four people in the car were alive. The driver and Mr. Acree sustained severe injuries because they sat in the front. They are still in the hospital, receiving emergency treatment as we speak. Mrs. Acree and Miss Acree sat in the back, so their injuries weren't as bad, and they did not suffer a great impact from the accident, but they still suffered some serious injuries. I heard that her leg might need to be amputated. I can only get the specific information once we receive the results of their diagnosis and treatment."

After a beat, he glanced at Toby before continuing, "The driver in the other car was not as lucky. He drove an ordinary car, and its quality couldn't be compared with the Acrees' vehicle, so not only was the car damaged, but the driver also died on the spot."

"He died?!" She inhaled sharply in shock.

Toby narrowed his sharp eyes. "You said that the car accident was man-made."

"Yes." Tom nodded. "The men we sent to keep an eye on the Acrees rushed to the scene immediately when they saw the accident. According to the police's investigation, they heard that the brake of the Acrees' car was tampered with, including the steering wheel. As a result, the turning sensitivity was out of control, and the car could only drive forward in a straight line."

"The brake was out of order; the car could not turn and could only drive forward. It meant that whoever did this wanted the Acrees to crush straight into the other cars!" Sonia gasped in fright.

"You're right, Miss Reed." Tom gave her an admiring glance. "The mastermind intended to do so. The Acrees did not realize the problem earlier because the journey from the villa area where the Acrees live to the highway is in a straight line. Therefore, they did not need to turn at all, so they would not be able to find out about the faulty functions in advance."

"In that case, there's definitely something fishy about the car that hit them." Sonia rubbed her chin skeptically. "No matter how desperate the Acrees are, they can afford a luxurious car or two, let alone the rich families who live in the same area. The other families do not suffer any financial crisis like the Acrees, so they have better and more expensive cars than the Acrees. None of them will have an ordinary car in their possession. Even their servants drive expensive cars. These rich people are snobbish and proud. They will only prepare expensive cars for their servants because they do not want to be looked down upon by others. They will feel humiliated when their servants drive an ordinary car worth a hundred thousand while the servants of the other families drive a car worth a million or so. Thus, an ordinary car can't appear in that area."

"Your analysis is right on the money, Miss Reed." Tom approved of Sonia's speculation." Just like the Acrees, the residents of the villa area are nouveau riche, so they are motivated by vanity. They are so proud that they will prepare nice cars for their servants. The Acrees allowed their servants to drive a Porsche worth one million and eight hundred thousand. So, no one in the villa area owns a car that is worth only a few hundred thousand. Naturally, the driver who drove to the villa area is indeed suspect," he asserted.

Toby rubbed his temples impatiently. "Just tell me who the driver is."
