The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike novel Chapter 592

Chapter 592 

For example, there was a popular actress who asked Calvin to kiss her in one of the shows. Even though it was only on her cheeks, it was enough to fulfill her wish. 

However, Calvin didn’t agree. He simply said, “You are not the person I want.” 

Calvin was actually good at painting, and it was said that he had an art studio full of his paintings, but those paintings were never shown to the public. 

Another example was that Calvin never allowed people to call him “Cal”, which seemed to be a taboo for him. There was once an actress who wanted to ingratiate herself with him and feigned familiarity by calling him “Cal”, but she ended up being blacklisted until she was forced to retire from the industry. 

As Rosalie listened to Lillian’s gossip, their car had arrived at the entrance to the residential area where the rental home was located. Lillian turned the wheel and stepped on the brake to slowly stop the car, but strangely, the brake seemed ineffective, and the car wouldn’t stop at all. 

Suddenly, Lillian’s face turned pale, and her whole body stiffened. 

Rosalie, who was in the passenger seat, also sensed something was wrong with her friend and hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong?” 

“The brakes are not working!” Lillian said. “They were fine just now, but suddenly they failed. With the car gradually picking up speed, it would only be a matter of time before…” she thought. 

Lillian didn’t dare imagine the consequences. 

“Rosalie… I… I’ll try to drive the car to an empty place. You should find a way to jump out!” Lillian said frantically. Although the car was out of control, the steering wheel still worked. If the car could be steered to an empty spot where Rosalie could jump out, she would probably escape with minor injuries. 

When Rosalie heard that, she immediately understood Lillian’s intention. “If I’m going to jump out of the car, what about you? Are you going to stay in the car all the time?” 

“Someone has to control the steering wheel. You jump first. I’ll find another way to jump!” Lillian said after taking a deep breath. It was the best idea she could come up with in such a short time. 

As she spoke, she began to drive in the direction where there were fewer people and cars. 

She was not a calm person. If she had encountered the incident alone, she would have panicked. Surprisingly, she was unusually calm that time. 

Even then, her heart was beating violently as if it were about to explode, but she continued to drive steadily. 

“Maybe it’s because Rosalie is in the car with me!” Lillian thought. 

With Rosalie still at her side, she wanted to keep her safe no matter what. She couldn’t let anything happen to her friend. 

Her determination was so strong that it had overwhelmed her panic. 

“If we’re going to jump out of the car, we should do it together!” Rosalie shouted. The longer they waited to jump, the more dangerous it would be. 

“What if the direction…” 

Before Lillian could finish, Rosalie said, “Let’s take our chances. Even with no one behind the wheel, the direction of the car won’t change much in a short time. I just can’t leave you alone in the car!” 

“You…” Lillian stared at her friend with a complicated expression. 

“Lillian, I was in a car accident once. I saw someone die in front of me. I don’t want to go through that again, especially with you!” Rosalie said, “If you continue to hesitate, the car will continue to speed up. By then, both of us will be seriously injured even if we manage to jump out of the car!” 

Lillian suddenly made up her mind and said, “Okay. Let’s do it. It’s now or never!” 

As they talked, they quickly unfastened their seat belts. The car had reached 45 miles per hour and was heading uncontrollably toward a remote location. 

Just as it was time to jump out of the car, a truck carrying sand suddenly approached from the diagonal opposite their car. The driver saw Lillian’s car and slowed down, but he didn’t stop. According to the traffic laws, it was Lillian who was supposed to stop. 

Unfortunately, there was no way for Lillian’s car to stop. 

If they hit the sand truck and the sand collapsed on them, they would be crushed by the pressure, even if they managed to survive the impact of the vehicle collision. 

At that moment, Lillian turned the steering wheel desperately, trying to swerve the car away from the sand truck as much as 

possible. However, as the truck driver didn’t step on the brakes early enough, it was already too late to do so by the time he noticed that something was wrong with Lillian’s car. 

When Lillian saw that the two cars were about to crash, she desperately shouted, “Rosalie, jump out of the car, now!” 

At that moment, another car suddenly drove toward the two vehicles. 

After that, a violent crash and screeching brakes echoed in the air. The front of the approaching car had rammed into the front of Lillian’s car, forcing it to stop. 

Everything seemed to be in chaos in those few seconds. 

Meanwhile, the sand truck finally stopped. 

Rosalie and Lillian were still in the car. The collision had left them sprawled on their seats, moaning and groaning. However, they had survived the accident.
