My Mute Bride

Chapter 400 The Car Accident Was Intentional

“Leroy, you drove too recklessly. How did you crash into the railing?” Gloria brought the conversation back on track with a simple sentence in the living room.

Leroy answered, “I didn’t crash into it on my own. A car slammed into me from behind.” “What?!” Jolly exclaimed. “Then, why didn’t you just say so?” “I didn’t want to make it such a big deal.”

“How could this happen? In other words, someone hit you, then committed a hit and run? They didn’t even care about your situation?”

Jolly was rather furious. “We must report this person to the police and get them to make an arrest!”

With that, she took out her phone to call the police.

Leroy stopped her. “Jolly, forget it.”

“What are you doing? Why can’t I call the police?”

Leroy was at a loss.

The two of them were at a stalemate, so Julian helped to mediate the situation. “Jolly, Leroy is a public figure. Once you call the police, this will probably be trending news. Although the other party hit and ran, they may have been scared and didn’t really intend to harm him. If this becomes trending news and his fans stalk the driver, it would ruin their life.”

“That’s what they deserve!”

Although the words that escaped Jolly’s mouth were harsh, she silently put the phone away, then sat down in a huff. “Lucky for them. How does a person like that sleep well at night?”

Leroy hurriedly coaxed her, “They must not be able to sleep. Their conscience would haunt them.”

When he spoke, he gave Julian a nod as a show of gratitude.

It was late at night, so everyone had supper, chatted for a while, and then retired to their rooms.

After taking a shower, Jolly came out and saw Leroy sitting by the window, seemingly in a daze.

“What’s the matter?”

Leroy recovered. “It’s nothing. I just think it’s weird.”

“What’s weird?”

“The car that hit me today did it from behind. So, it stands to reason that this wouldn’t happen if I didn’t hit the brakes.”

The speed limit on the mountain road wasn’t high, and Leroy wasn’t driving fast either. He pretty much drove at a uniform speed. Even if he turned a corner, he would slow down, and it wasn’t to the extent that the car behind him would have no time to react.

“I feel that the car didn’t rear-end me because they didn’t realize, but it seemed they accelerated instead.”
