Chapter 627: Chapter 627: A Well-prepared Murder
Sean Price knew this was no small matter, so he immediately called Caleb Mamet.
Caleb’s eyes were filled with icy coldness, and he couldn’t understand why Will Mamet had suddenly turned hostile.
Suddenly, his hand gripping the steering wheel tightened, and he tentatively stepped on the brakes. His face instantly changed, and his heart trembled slightly, but he calmly said: “Xaviera!”
Xaviera opened her eyes slowly and saw that Caleb’s expression was serious. She frowned, “What’s wrong?”
“Do you remember the grassy area up ahead? You need to jump out of the car there,” Caleb said indifferently.
Xaviera’s pupils suddenly contracted, her body stiffening, but Caleb’s eyes remained calm and casual: “Xaviera, I’m sorry. I promised to protect you from harm, but I may not be able to this time.”
Xaviera clenched her fists, knowing in her heart that someone had tampered with the car.
Caleb said calmly, “The brake cable must have been cut. You get out first, I’ll be fine.”
After the grassy patch was a sharp turn, and the car’s current speed made it difficult to navigate. It was likely to fall off the cliff, and Caleb’s chances of survival were slim.
The mountain road was already narrow, and their car was out of control. Caleb had to take a gamble and sharply turned the steering wheel to the right, driving the car into the grassy area, allowing the truck to hit the driver’s seat and using his own body to shield Xaviera in the last second.
Xaviera felt as if her body was out of control, with a loud noise ringing in her ears and a dull pain all over. Her internal organs had been violently impacted, and her vision blurred as she passed out.
...
“Mrs. Mamet’s injuries aren’t severe, and she’ll regain consciousness soon. However, Mr. Caleb Mamet will need another surgery, and we can’t guarantee when he’ll wake up.”
“Usually, when drivers encounter danger, they instinctively turn the steering wheel left, which can cause the passenger to be injured while reducing damage for themselves. This is the first time I’ve seen someone like Mr. Caleb Mamet turn right, allowing himself to be hit by a truck while protecting Mrs. Mamet’s body.”
“So Mrs. Mamet only suffered minor injuries, but Mr. Caleb Mamet...”
Xaviera felt the buzzing in her ears, and someone was talking.
“That road usually only leads to Julian Mountain Villa, but the person in charge of the villa said there wasn’t supposed to be any truck deliveries. Judging from the situation at the scene, the target of that truck was Mr. Caleb Mamet’s car. It appears to be a premeditated murder!”
“The police are already investigating, but the truck driver is dead, so we can only look for other clues.”
“Do you think this murder attempt was aimed at Mr. Caleb Mamet or Xaviera?”
“It’s hard to say. They might want to kill both of them!”
