My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

747  Chapter 746

Keira exhaled, relieved that everything around her was quiet.

Erin had raised the South family's reputation too high, leading Keira to believe in the absurdity of the situation despite her better judgment.

At that moment, she turned to Ryan and said, "Nothing happened, which is better than something going wrong. Mr. Cobb, I'm sorry for the inconvenience this twenty minutes has caused you. I will take full responsibility—"

Before she could finish, Selena interrupted her, "You take responsibility? Do you think Ryan's time can be compensated with money? Do you even know who he is? The decisions he makes can affect countless families! Ms. Olsen, you're being awfully presumptuous!"

Keira looked at Ryan, wanting to say more...

Ryan waved her off. "Ms. Olsen, I'll reserve the right to pursue this matter further. Can we clear the way now?"

His expression remained calm, his tone steady, but Keira could sense the underlying tension.

Ryan was angry.

With an apologetic nod, Keira slid into the driver's seat of her car, backing up to give him space.

Ryan shot her a cold glance before turning to enter his own vehicle.

Selena watched Keira, a smirk creeping onto her face.

Keira was digging her own grave!

The Cobb family's standing was far beyond that of any business family!

Yes, the South family was formidable, but Ryan could decide the trajectory of their family's business with a single word! After all, he was the hidden heir to the throne in Clance!

Now that Keira had offended him, even if Gavin did fall ill and pass away, Ryan would never reconcile with the South family. That would leave Selena free to stay in the Cobb household under his protection...

Thinking of this, Selena couldn't help but feel pleased. She declared, "Ms. Olsen, I respect you and even call you 'Aunt,' but don't overestimate your importance! I can assure you, Ryan won't let this slide easily!"

Keira furrowed her brow, her gaze fixed on Ryan.

He hadn't gotten into his car yet, but the driver had exited and was standing respectfully beside him.

Ryan had a sharp, cool profile that suggested he was in control.

He gave Keira the impression of a stoic monk, especially since he wasn't dressed in a suit but wore a traditional outfit with a string of prayer beads hanging from his wrist...

This man looked gentle, but he was undoubtedly not someone to provoke.

Keira frowned, realizing she might have brought trouble to both the South and Horton families...

Yet she was never one to shy away from trouble.

It merely meant there was an additional opponent to deal with.

With an inexplicable sigh, Keira found herself reluctant to go up against someone like him...

Just then, a loud roar broke through her thoughts.

That sound... it was the engine of a sports car!

Keira immediately turned around, only to see a sports car barreling out from the Cobb property, heading straight for Ryan!

Everything unfolded too quickly; even Ryan was momentarily stunned.

Truth be told, he had never believed in omens, but there was something eerie about the South family.

So even as he claimed disbelief, he had always been wary of a car crashing in from outside. He never imagined a sports car would emerge from his own home!

What on earth was happening?!

As Ryan processed this, the sports car sped up to him. Suddenly, a panicked voice rang out, "Ryan, get out of the way! The car's out of control!!"

Ryan froze.

Behind the wheel was his little sister, Ellie Cobb, in a frenzy, desperately trying to brake, her face pale as a sheet!

The car was charging straight at him!

In that instant, Ryan's instinct wasn't to jump aside; instead, he glanced at his watch and saw it was exactly ten o'clock and fifty-five seconds...

It was still ten o'clock for five seconds!

Ryan's pupils constricted.

He looked up.

At that moment, the car was almost upon him.

His vehicle was blocking half the entrance, and the driver stood beside him, ready to open the door. Seeing Ellie racing toward them, the driver panicked and instinctively tried to stop Ryan!

Ryan could have sidestepped...

But just as the car zoomed past him, he seized the door handle, leaping into the car!

There was no other choice!

Ellie was his sister; he couldn't ignore her safety.

As he jumped in, he stole a glance at his watch. It read fifty-nine seconds...

The South family's prophecy had come true!

In that split second, at exactly ten o'clock, when he jumped into that out-of-control car, a car accident had already occurred!!

"Ryan, what are you doing? Get out! This car's out of control!" Ellie shouted, her foot slamming down on the brakes.

Ryan had jumped into the passenger seat. Once inside and adjusting to the car's speed, he immediately commanded, "Switch seats!"

Ellie's eyes filled with tears; she knew he wouldn't abandon her, but she never expected him to risk his life to save her!

He was the only true heir of the Cobb family!

At this moment, Ellie realized that there was no time for talk. Getting out of the car now, at such high speed, would be tantamount to suicide!

Without hesitation, they both leaped up, swapping places in the cramped sports car.

Ryan pressed down hard on the brake, but the car showed no signs of stopping!

He... might really die!
