Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1280
Nigel narrowed his eyes. Even though he was young, he still read plenty of news about accidents caused by brake malfunctions, so he knew that even though this car was not in much use, the butler at Lynch Mansion would not have neglected its maintenance.
Therefore, someone must have deliberately slashed the brake cables, causing the brakes to malfunction.
Someone was attempting to kill both him and Nellie!
As soon as he thought of this, Nigel exhaled and forced himself to calm down.
After a moment, he looked at the driver through the rearview mirror and said in a steady voice, “Mr. Driver, you’re one of the best drivers at Lynch
Mansion. I believe that you’ll be able to calm down and find a solution in this situation.“
The driver, who was previously so nervous by the fact that he was carrying the two young grandchildren of the Lynch family, finally calmed down upon hearing Nigel’s words.
However, he still had no way of stopping the car despite trying everything he could think of.
The car was accelerating more as it traveled downhill and looked about to crash into the mountain ahead!
“Turn, right now! “ Nigel ordered as he fiddled with his electronic tablet. “Head east. There’s a factory owned by the Craig family there, and inside, they have a big deceleration strip. I ‘ll call Aunty Bonnie
right now and let them clear the way for us! “
The driver’s entire body stiffened, shocked at how calm and level-headed this young boy was.
He quickly made a sharp turn.
Nigel let out a sigh of relief and picked up his phone to call Bonnie.
Bonnie, who was catching up on her sleep, leaped out of bed when she heard what had happened. She put on her clothes and replied, “Alright, alright.
Please stay calm, Nigel. The entire road is surrounded by factories owned by the Craig family. I ‘ll call them right now and let them clear the way for you! “
With that, she quickly hung up the phone and called the factory manager, barking orders like a madwoman, “Clear the roads! Hurry! “
Five minutes later, when the uncontrollable car sped into the Craig family factory area, the roads had already been cleared without any obstruction.
The car whizzed onto the deceleration strip.
After a bumpy journey, the car finally screeched to a halt.
Nellie was so startled by everything that happened that she could not even let out a sound. Her previously neat hair was tousled, and her clothes were askew.
She slumped in the car’s backseat, so stunned by what had happened that she could not do anything except hold onto the door handle tightly.
Even though Nigel’s hair and clothes were just as messy as hers, he still remained calm.
He wiped the blood from his nose, which had seeped out from the impact, and wiped the bloodstains on his electronic tablet. Then, he opened the door and got out of the car.
However, Nellie was still leaning against the door, unable to move.
Nigel smiled, then opened his arms wide. “Come on. It’s fine now.“
Nellie finally came to, leaped out of the car, and hugged Nigel, sobbing, “Nigel, that was so scary— “
Nigel patted her back in reassurance and frowned, glancing at the driver who had gotten out of the car, looking just as unsettled as they were. “Do you know what was the reason that the brakes malfunctioned?“
The driver paused for a moment, then went to check on the car.
“Young Master, the brake cables were cut.“ “Alright.“ Nigel narrowed his eyes.
He already knew this would be the answer.
“Who on earth would do that?“ Nellie sobbed, still slumped in Nigel’s arms.
Nigel curled his lips into a smirk as he replied, “Of course it was the person who had sent us the photo. She’d be the only person who wants us dead.“ With that, he turned to glance at the driver. “Can you extract any fingerprints from the cut cables?“
