Kieran quickly gave a summary of his current situation. Nicholas leaped to his feet with a grim expression. “Got it. Be careful. I’m coming over right now.”
He was going to tell Kieran to stay on the line, but Kieran ended the call. To avoid distracting Kieran, Nicholas had to hold in his anxiety as he rushed out of the office.
He ran into Edward who was just about to bring some documents to him. Edward noticed that Nicholas looked worried, so he asked, “Did something happen, President Sawyer?”
“Is your car here?” Nicholas asked instead. Edward was confused but he nodded and replied, “Yes. I drove to work today.”
“Bring the car around and take me to the ring road. Quickly! Nicholas instructed firmly. A few moments later, they were both in the car and rushing toward the ring road.
Nicholas kept repeating, “Speed up. Drive faster.” Edward complied at once as he stepped on the accelerator, but he still had no idea what was going on.
“Did something happen, President Sawyer?” “Kieran borrowed my car for a race but he was driving on the ring road when he realized something was wrong with the brakes.”
Nicholas filled Edward in on the situation. Edward’s expression shifted as he asked concernedly, ‘Is Vice President Sawyer alright?”
“I don’t want to call him up lest he gets distracted, but he’s a good driver. He should bet fine, right?” Nicholas wasn’t sure about the answer to his last question either.
Edward knew the severity of the situation and began picking up speed again. Alas, by the time they got to the ring road, it was too late.
Kieran had lost control of the car. Afraid that he would end up colliding with another car, he switched directions and drove the car toward the railing by the side of the road.
At the very least, if he drove into the river, there would still be a chance of survival. However, if he crashed into another car or an even bigger vehicle, he could very well lose his life..
Due to this accident, the ring road was congested. The bridge was filled with cars and many more were lining up behind them. Nicholas and Edward’s car was one of them.
Nicholas hurried down from the car and saw how packed the road was. Edward followed after him and exclaimed, “Why did the traffic come to a standstill?”
One of the drivers who was heading back to his car after checking on the situation heard the question and kindly shared what he knew with them.
“I just went over and asked what was happening. There has been a car accident up ahead. A limited-edition luxury car rammed into the railing and fell into the river.”
“The car fell into the river? Edward gasped as he quickly turned to Nicholas. That car had to be the one Nicholas lent to Kieran. Nicholas didn’t say anything, but his jaw was. clenched as he ran over to the scene of the accident.
When he saw the railing that was utterly destroyed, his expression became even grimmer. He rushed over to the completely calm river. There was no sign of the car or the driver. “Kieran!” Nicholas yelled.
Nevertheless, he didn’t get a response, though the crowd was abuzz around him. Edward caught up to Nicholas and asked, “President Sawyer, did you find Master Kieran?” “No. Call the traffic police, the fire and rescue
department, and the ambulance now,” Nicholas quickly made the arrangements as calmly as he could. Soon, the traffic police and the fire and rescue department rushed over to carry out the search and rescue mission.
Many reporters had rushed to the scene as well. “According to the information that’s currently available, the driver who got into an accident was Kieran Sawyer of Sawyer Group.”
“The rescue team is currently searching the river, but the situation doesn’t look good.” Though the reporters were dying to interview Nicholas, none of them dared to go up to him.
The longer the search went on, the more terrifying Nicholas’ aura became. Even Edward, who stood beside Nicholas, was finding it hard to breathe.
As Nicholas’ expression continued to darken, Edward tried to assure him, “Master Kieran is a smart man. I’m sure he’ll prevent himself from coming to harm. No news is good news.”
