My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire novel Chapter 748

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…

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.”
