Nigel narrowed his eyes. Even though he was young, h e still read plenty of news about accidents caused by brake malfunctions, so he knew that even though this car was not in much use, the butler at Lynch Mansion would not have neglected its maintenance.
Therefore, someone must have deliberately slashed the brake cables, causing the brakes to malfunction.
Someone was attempting to kill both him and Nellie!
As soon as he thought of this, Nigel exhaled and forced himself to calm down.
After a moment, he looked at the driver through the rearview mirror and said in a steady voice, "Mr. Driver, you're one of the best drivers at Lynch Mansion. I believe that you'll be able to calm down and find a solution in this situation.”
The driver, who was previously so nervous by the fact that he was carrying the two young grandchildren of the Lynch family, finally calmed down upon hearing Nigel's words.
However, he still had no way of stopping the car despite trying everything he could think of.
The car was accelerating more as it traveled downhill and looked about to crash into the mountain ahead!
"Turn, right now!" Nigel ordered as he fiddled with his
electronic tablet. "Head east. There's a factory owned b y the Craig family there, and inside, they have a big deceleration strip. I'll call Aunty Bonnie right now and let them clear the way for us!"
The driver's entire body stiffened, shocked at how calm and level-headed this young boy was.
He quickly made a sharp turn.
Nigel let out a sigh of relief and picked up his phone t o call Bonnie.
Bonnie, who was catching up on her sleep, leaped out o f bed when she heard what had happened. She put on her clothes and replied, "Alright, alright. Please stay calm, Nigel. The entire road is surrounded by factories owned by the Craig family. I'll call them right now and let them clear the way for you!"
With that, she quickly hung up the phone and called the factory manager, barking orders like a madwoman, "Clear the roads! Hurry!"
Five minutes later, when the uncontrollable car sped into the Craig family factory area, the roads had already been cleared without any obstruction.
