My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！

He had already checked the car—its brakes were completely non-functional, and it was a sports car, which was speeding up rapidly and impossible to stop now.

There was no saving it...

Even with the situation analyzed, Ryan maintained his composure as he turned to Ellie. "What did you have for breakfast this morning?"

With tears streaming down her face and panic etched on her features, Ellie blinked at him, clearly confused. "What did you say, Ryan?"

"I asked if you had breakfast."

"It\'s the middle of a crisis! Why are you asking about food?" She gasped, "We\'re going too fast to make that turn…!"

"So, you did eat?" Ryan pressed, his tone steady.

"Yeah, I did."

"Good. At least you won\'t be starving when you die."

"..." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Hearing this, Ellie\'s tears flowed even more freely. "But I don\'t want to die! I don\'t want to die!" she sobbed.

Ryan kept his eyes fixed on the road. "Ahead, there\'s a river. You can swim. When we get close, you need to jump out! There\'s still a chance to survive!"

"But the river\'s current is too strong! I might not make it! You\'re a better swimmer than I am! I should steer. You jump!" Ellie insisted.

The road was winding, and someone needed to control the steering wheel at that speed. If they both jumped at the same time, the car would lose control, and they might both be doomed.

Ryan was handing her the hope of survival.

He replied to her insistence, "I\'m your brother; I need to protect you."

"No way! This is my life; I can\'t let you take my place!" Ellie was adamant.

Ryan sighed. "Alright, if you jump, it\'s likely a death sentence, too. Let\'s not argue about it."

"...Ryan, is dying painful?"

"No," Ryan explained calmly. "When the body experiences severe trauma, it releases dopamine, which helps dull the pain during emergencies. If the car crashes, we\'ll probably die very quickly, so we won\'t even feel it. There\'s nothing to be scared of."

Ellie\'s response was silence, her eyes wide. Not be scared?

"Listen to yourself, Ryan," she said, tears cascading down her cheeks. "But I don\'t want to die!"

Their bizarre conversation continued in the car, while outside, a group at the Cobb family estate stood frozen in shock.

The sports car sped by in a blur, almost a flash, leaving them stunned as it tore down the road.

They wouldn\'t be able to turn back!

They even saw the car fishtail around a corner, nearly flipping over!

If Ryan hadn\'t switched places with Ellie to take the wheel, if he hadn\'t had any experience with racing, they wouldn\'t have made it through that turn alive!

Selena gasped in disbelief.

Keira furrowed her brow and rushed to the driver\'s seat of her own car.

Erin dashed over, grabbing Keira\'s arm. "What are you doing? You can\'t possibly think about going to save them! I get it; if you rescue them, we can continue our partnership, but this is reckless! Besides, that\'s a sports car; there\'s no way your car can catch up!"

Ignoring Erin, Keira pushed her hand away, slamming the car door shut.

"Keira! Get out of the car!" Erin shouted, pounding on the door. "The South family\'s prophecies are never wrong! If it says there\'ll be an accident at ten o\'clock, then there will be! If you try to save them, it\'ll cost you dearly! Get out now!"

But then Keira suddenly reversed, spinning the wheel and flooring the accelerator, and her car rocketed forward!

Erin tried to chase after her, but the car was too fast; she couldn\'t keep up.

When the car vanished from view, she stopped, panic surging as she fumbled for her phone and dialed Lewis\'s number. "You need to come quickly! Keira\'s in trouble!"

After hanging up, she was filled with anxiety.

Selena, shaken but indifferent, noted that Ryan and Ellie were essentially strangers to her and didn\'t care about their plight.

She scoffed. "She thinks she\'s a hero? What an overestimation of herself!"

"...That is a bit over the top, isn\'t it?"

Meanwhile, in the speeding car, Ryan remained focused as Ellie peered into the rearview mirror, spotting a black SUV gaining on them.

"Ryan, that girl from the estate is chasing us! What does she think she\'s doing? She can\'t seriously want to rescue us, can she?"

Ryan glanced in the mirror, his frown deepening.

Ellie continued, "Let\'s be real: we\'re in a sports car and speeding up. That\'s just a sedan. Even if she floors it, there\'s no way she can catch us, right?"

As soon as she finished, the SUV suddenly accelerated, closing the gap between them.

"What the—?"
