Keira exhaled, relieved that everything around her was quiet.
Erin had raised the South familyâs 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, âNothing happened, which is better than something going wrong. Mr. Cobb, Iâm sorry for the inconvenience this twenty minutes has caused you. I will take full responsibilityââ
Before she could finish, Selena interrupted her, âYou take responsibility? Do you think Ryanâs time can be compensated with money? Do you even know who he is? The decisions he makes can affect countless families! Ms. Olsen, youâre being awfully presumptuous!â
Keira looked at Ryan, wanting to say moreâŠ
Ryan waved her off. âMs. Olsen, Iâll reserve the right to pursue this matter further. Can we clear the way now?â
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 driverâs 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 familyâs standing was far beyond that of any business family!
Yes, the South family was formidable, but Ryan could decide the trajectory of their familyâs 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 protectionâŠ
Thinking of this, Selena couldnât help but feel pleased. She declared, âMs. Olsen, I respect you and even call you âAunt,â but donât overestimate your importance! I can assure you, Ryan wonât let this slide easily!â
Keira furrowed her brow, her gaze fixed on Ryan.
He hadnât 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 wasnât dressed in a suit but wore a traditional outfit with a string of prayer beads hanging from his wristâŠ
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 familiesâŠ
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 himâŠ
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, âRyan, get out of the way! The carâs out of control!!â
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, Ryanâs instinct wasnât to jump aside; instead, he glanced at his watch and saw it was exactly ten oâclock and fifty-five secondsâŠ
It was still ten oâclock for five seconds!
Ryanâs 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 sidesteppedâŠ
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 couldnât ignore her safety.
As he jumped in, he stole a glance at his watch. It read fifty-nine secondsâŠ
The South familyâs prophecy had come true!
In that split second, at exactly ten oâclock, when he jumped into that out-of-control car, a car accident had already occurred!!
âRyan, what are you doing? Get out! This carâs out of control!â Ellie shouted, her foot slamming down on the brakes.
Ryan had jumped into the passenger seat. Once inside and adjusting to the carâs speed, he immediately commanded, âSwitch seats!â
Ellieâs eyes filled with tears; she knew he wouldnât 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!
