Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 272

"Right at the moment we collided, another car hit us too. I was already starting to faint, with only a faint sense of what was happening." Emma said.

Even if the Meyer family didn't take things further about this accident, she wished it hadn't ended this way.

Eda, standing nearby, couldn't help but interject as she lost herself in thought, "Emma, think carefully. Is it possible that Ms. Ines was just pulling your leg and deliberately tried to scare you with her driving?"

Upon hearing this, Ethan seemed to have an idea. He quickly turned to Eda, “Eda, why would you say that?”

"Because Ms. Ines is a good driver. She was taught by an old friend of Mr. Galeana. This guy lived in the Galeana family for years and was close to her. He was once a professional racer in his youth and won many awards at home and abroad. But later he was framed and ended up with a somewhat crippled leg, and had to tearfully bid farewell to his racing career."

Eda thought for a moment and continued, "There was a time when Ms. Ines really wanted to learn to drive. Having such a good resource at home, she naturally wouldn’t waste it. She started to learn from him, but at some point, she started enjoying scaring people. Once, she was caught by the chairman and his wife and got a serious scolding. I was there at the time, so I know. According to Ms. Ines at the time, she had become quite adept at this game and there would absolutely be no problems."

Upon hearing this, Emma's face instantly turned pale. She recalled what Shirley had told her at the time, "Don't worry, I've arranged it. She won't leave unscathed."

But her mother watched Ines drive away and did nothing to stop her. She said nothing, and even had a smug smile on her face.

At the time, she thought her mother had arranged something on the road and was curious to know what it was. So she quietly followed, only to experience such an incident.

Afterwards, the police determined that Ines had intentionally hurt someone. She even heard Ines thump her chest and say, "Thank goodness the car is totaled, otherwise it would have been a big trouble."

No one interrupted her, only seeing Emma shaking her head non-stop.

Ines quickly asked, "Emma, have you found something else?"

Emma lifted her tear-streaked face and said, "Your car. There must have been something wrong with your car. You couldn't brake at the end." As she also had seen the horror on Ines's face, it seemed she was also scared.

Over the years, every time she went through rehab, her hatred for Ines would deepen a little. She thought Ines was the root of everything, but didn't expect that this was just karma. They had plotted against others first and both sides ended up injured.

Emma closed her eyes in pain, tears flowing down her cheeks, unable to accept this reality.

After Emma's explanation, Ethan could clear up the whole incident. Ines, finding out about her fiance's affair with his half-sister, chose to run away from the engagement party the next day to get back at Aiden. Emma, knowing Shirley must have done something, followed out of curiosity. Ines, in a bad mood, wanted to scare her but didn't expect the car's brakes had been tampered with, and ended up hitting Emma.
