Chapter 397: They Could Never Coexist
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Samantha turned around toward the direction of her car. She opened the door, hopped in, and started the car.
…
The amusement park was situated in the suburbs and was accessible through a narrow winding road. Since it was already late at night, a person’s field of vision would be somewhat obstructed even with the presence of street lights, so Timothy stepped on the brakes gently to reduce his speed.
However, his speed did not decrease even after he stepped on the brakes.
He stepped on the brakes again but there was still no response.
The brakes were broken!
He pressed the electronic handbrake tightly once more and still there was no response!
To make things worse, the car was speeding even more even though he did not step on the gas pedal, suggesting that there was something wrong with the other components instead of just the brakes!
Timothy’s eyes sank instantly. He went to the appointment alone without the company of his bodyguards, so it would be too late even if he notified them at that point.
If the car’s speed continued to increase and he could not stop the car soon enough, his superb driving skills might not be enough to avert the possibility that the car might crash into other people and kill them!
Timothy made the decisive decision to put on his Bluetooth earpiece and dial the nearest fire department while steering the steering wheel to stabilize the car.
After connecting to the other end, he explained the situation calmly and succinctly.
The firefighter said, “We’ll send men to help you right away. Mr. Barker, please be very careful and try to drag the situation as much as possible until we arrive!”
After ending the call, Timothy focused all his attention on the road.
At that point, the car’s speed had soared to 100 miles per hour and he was already on the winding road. The road was narrow, and cars were coming constantly from the opposite side. Although he had controlled it very well, there were a few close calls where he almost hit other vehicles.
After a while, the car’s speed soared again and he dodged any oncoming vehicles almost purely by instinct. When he made a sharp turn, a car suddenly appeared on the opposite side and he narrowly escaped crashing into the car.
The next second, the front of the car was heading toward the tree on the other side. If he crashed into the tree, the car would probably roll straight down the hill.
Timothy turned the steering wheel to the right just in time to avoid it.
Every minute and every second carried a risk of death!
He frowned deeply and had a solemn expression that probably stemmed from his calmness throughout the entire ordeal.
He must not let himself get hurt!
His phone rang all of a sudden and Timothy immediately freed a hand to answer it because he thought that the fire rescue had arrived.
What he heard through the Bluetooth earpiece was not a firefighter’s voice, but Samantha’s beautiful yet worried voice. “Is there something wrong with your car, Timothy?”
A trace of killing intent appeared in Timothy’s eyes. “How do you know?”
He believed that it was highly likely that the car was vandalized, as the car was fine when he drove to the amusement park and the problems only popped out after that.
The first person who wanted him dead was none other than Samantha!
“I was driving behind you, and I saw that your car was getting faster and faster and more dangerous too. I guessed that there might be something wrong with your car,” Samantha replied truthfully.
Timothy glanced at the rearview mirror after hearing what she said and realized that Samantha’s white car had been following him from behind.
He did not notice it because he had been looking ahead the whole time.
“There is something wrong. The brakes are broken,” Timothy said coldly. “Alright, goodbye.”
He was in no mood to talk to her then. He had taken a lot of effort to be where he was in life and did not want to make her wishes come true by getting killed in a car crash.
“Don’t hang up.” Samantha immediately stopped him. “You’ll be in danger if you continue like this, Timothy. You have to stop the car.”
She went straight to the point and said directly, “I’ll help you stop your car!”
“What?” There was a hint of surprise at the bottom of Timothy’s unwavering eyes.
“I said, I’ll help you stop your car!”
Samantha gulped and continued, “I’ll overtake your car later and drive in front of you to add some resistance to your car. Remember to drive toward the tree and use it to stop both our cars!”
Timothy understood what Samantha’s plan was.
It was doable but extremely dangerous!
Since his car was driving at particularly high speed, crashing into Samantha’s car would almost certainly cause her to get injured.
Before he had any time to think clearly, Samantha said decisively, “Let’s go!”
He subconsciously glanced at his rearview mirror and saw her white car driving to the other lane. The car then sped up and she very quickly drove past him.
After stretching out the distance between them, Samantha’s calm voice came from the Bluetooth earpiece. “Count to three, Timothy!”
“One.”
“Two.”
“Three.”
Samantha turned her steering wheel to the left so her car stretched across the entirety of Timothy’s lane. Then she slammed the brakes and activated her electronic handbrake!
Timothy held the steering wheel firmly as the front end of his car slammed forcefully into the back seat of Samantha’s car. However, the speed of his car was simply too fast and the front end of his car crashed heavily against the driver’s seat of Samantha’s car!
Following that loud bang was a harsh screeching sound of tires against the ground.
There were countless sparks on both car bodies.
Timothy’s car speed slowed down due to the increased resistance but was unable to stop completely. He quickly stared at a big tree in front of him and turned the steering wheel forcefully.
Both their two cars rushed toward the big tree.
There was another loud bang.
Samantha’s car struck the tree, causing the tree to shake as the car finally came to a halt.
Due to the violent impact, Timothy’s entire body fell forward due to inertia and his forehead knocked against the steering wheel.
He felt his vision getting blurry and he felt dizzy.
He fell back limply and closed his eyes to take a deep breath.
After a while, he seemed to realize there was a fire and he strained to open his eyelids. He then saw Samantha’s car in front of his, the front of which was crackling with sparks and had started bursting into flames.
It was probably the huge impact and friction that caused the engine compartment to overheat and spontaneously ignite...
Once it combusts spontaneously, an explosion was bound to occur...
He looked at the driver’s seat of Samantha’s car through the broken window and saw her sitting there.
The airbag had been deployed and there seemed to be a cut on her forehead. Blood was oozing out and her face was very pale. It appeared she had slipped into a coma and was therefore unaware that she was in extreme danger...
If she did not leave sooner, she would be blown to pieces once the car exploded.
Timothy took another deep breath and raised his hand to unfasten his seat belt. He then pushed the door open and got out of the car.
He looked at Samantha’s body again and lifted his feet before putting it back down again.
Samantha was an old enemy and it was impossible for them to coexist.
He had always wanted her to disappear completely!
Plenty of things had hindered him before, but the opportunity came right before him and it was Samantha who brought it upon herself.
He did not need to do anything. As long as he did not do anything, Samantha would explode to death in front of him.
She would disappear forever.
The coldness in Timothy’s eyes gradually became prominent and an icy smile crept up his lips.
He did not know why Samantha was so desperate to help him stop the car, but...that decision was going to be the worst one she ever made in her life.
It was unfortunate that Samantha would never know how stupid she was.
