My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

744  Chapter 743

Keira wasn't entirely sure if Ryan Cobb would really have an accident today.

But after thinking about it, she agreed with what Erin had said.

When it comes to matters of life and death, it's better to believe it could happen than to dismiss it outright.

Erin had predicted that Ryan's car accident would happen at 10 a.m., but Keira didn't know where Ryan would be at that time. So, to be safe, she decided to wait outside the Cobb family house with Erin starting at 7 a.m.

On the way there, Erin had bought quite the spread—pancakes, doughnuts, coffee, pudding, chips, and even some hotdogs.

As Keira stood beside the car, keeping an eye on the Cobb resident's gate, Erin stayed inside, devouring everything she'd bought with audible slurps and chomps.

Keira watched in disbelief as Erin finished off the entire breakfast spread. She couldn't help but feel a twitch in her lips.

Her eyes flicked to Erin's stomach. It didn't even look bloated…

How could she eat so much? Was her stomach some kind of bottomless pit?

Just as Keira was silently wondering about this, Erin looked over, coughed lightly, and reminded her, "I did ask you if you wanted any. You said no, so I didn't get you anything."

Keira was speechless.

Was this the same cunning strategist, Erin South Martin, or a food-obsessed squirrel?!

She couldn't bear to watch anymore and turned her gaze back to the gate.

She checked the time.

Initially, she'd thought Ryan, being similar to Lewis in his workaholic tendencies, would have left early for work. That was why they had come so early to stop him.

But to her surprise, it was already 9:30 a.m., and he was just leaving.

The gates of the Cobb residence opened, and Ryan's car slowly emerged.

Keira didn't rush. She stood calmly next to her car, watching him approach.

Ryan's car came to a halt.

There was no choice; Keira had parked her car right in front of the gate, effectively blocking the driveway.

Even though the gate was wide enough for two cars, her vehicle was right in the middle of the road.

He stepped out of the car and walked toward Keira, frowning. "Ms. Olsen, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Keira calmly replied, "Mr. Cobb, you can't leave before 10 a.m."

Ryan's frown deepened. "I have an important meeting today. Don't cause trouble."

Keira looked at him seriously. "If you leave before 10, you'll get into a car accident."

Ryan scoffed. "I told you, I don't believe in any of that."

Keira shrugged. "Honestly, I don't really believe in it either. But the things happening with the South family are strange, so I had to stop you. After all, there's an old saying, better safe than sorry."

Ryan's brow furrowed even tighter. "Ms. Olsen, I control my own life. I don't believe in this nonsense, and even if you stand here all day, I still won't believe it."

Keira frowned back. "Is there really anything more important than your life, Mr. Cobb?"

Ryan glanced at his watch, his face showing even more impatience.

He had an important meeting today, but his morning had been off. First, he'd spilled breakfast on his suit, and then he'd had to shower and change, which had delayed him even more. Now, he didn't have time to stand here arguing with Keira.

He shot back, "If you don't move, I'll make you."

"Fine." Keira gestured. "Go ahead."

Ryan was perplexed.

Keira added, "I know my actions are strange and might seem irrational, but Lewis and I have looked into all the South family's prophecies from the past decades. Every single one has come true. Not a single miss. So, Mr. Cobb, I'm stopping you today to see if it's real or not. I understand what's at stake if you miss your meeting, and I'll take full responsibility."

Ryan shouted, "What can you take responsibility for? Do you even understand how important this meeting is?"

Keira nodded. "I know. I've already checked. You're meeting with a foreign medical institution to bring in their vaccines, right? That's no big deal. I can handle it for you."

Her status in international circles ensured that no medical institution would dare refuse her.

That was why Keira had come to stop Ryan today.

Ryan's face darkened. "You've been investigating me?"

Keira calmly replied, "Sorry. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't holding you up from something life-saving."

If Ryan had been on his way to save a life, she wouldn't have had the nerve to stop him. So, of course, she'd made sure to find out what his schedule was.

Ryan's face remained grim.

Seeing that Keira wasn't budging, he took a step back and said, "Fine. I'll wait until after 10 to leave. But I swear, if nothing happens, I'm going to prove this whole thing is a ridiculous waste of time!"
