The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 228

With a passionate kiss, he finally let her go.

He pressed the call button, and Evelyn's terrified voice came through the speaker, "Leo, help me! I'm on the highway and my brakes have failed."

A shock ran through Leopold. "Have you contacted the police?"

"No, not yet."

"Tell me where you are and then call them."

"I'm so scared, Leo."

"Don't panic. I'm sending help."

...

Aurelia took a few deep breaths before she could regain her composure. She didn't dare to speak, fearing Evelyn would hear her.

Leopold dialed Kevin, instructing him to send help to the north loop highway and assist the police in rescuing Evelyn. After hanging up, Aurelia cautiously asked, "What's wrong with Evelyn?"

A cold gleam flashed in Leopold's eyes.

She simply couldn't hold it in any longer, he thought.

"Stay out of it and stay home. I have to leave." With that, he left.

Aurelia felt as though a storm had hit her heart. She had heard a bit of the conversation - Evelyn's brakes were failing. No wonder the big boss was so on edge. Her car was a luxury vehicle. How could the brakes fail for no reason?

Could it be... A chill ran up her spine, and she couldn't help but shudder, too afraid to pursue that line of thought.

Leopold's bodyguards, all trained in special forces, managed to stop Evelyn's car with the assistance of the police.

The car crashed into a sandy construction site, the best option to minimize injuries. Evelyn had injured her arm, but it was just a surface wound. Her bones were intact.

Upon inspection, the police discovered that the brakes had been cut. It was an attempted murder.

They checked the surveillance footage from the parking garage and quickly identified a suspect.

He was the brother of the hotel server who had died in the anniversary accident. He believed Evelyn was responsible for his sister's death and wanted revenge.
