Chapter 278
Everyone present turned pale, their eyes filled with terror and fear.
Having achieved his own goal, Mark sneered, “Melody, transfer all your money to me, or I’ll make everyone here accompany you in death!”
Before Melody could speak, Briana beat her to it, “Did you know that once the countdown of this bomb starts, it can’t be paused?”
Unless the explosives were disarmed, they would explode immediately once the countdown ended.
Based on Mark’s capabilities at that time, he should not have had the money to buy such a bomb, and it would not have been easily obtainable without a source.
There was not a trace of fear in Mark’s eyes as he said coldly, “If we can’t stop, we die together!”
Briana frowned, always feeling that Mark’s mood didn’t seem like that of a desperate gambler.
Before she could figure it out, she suddenly saw a tall figure walking into the entrance of the hall from the corner of her eye.
She turned her head and saw Maxim, her eyes filled with shock.
“Maxim, there’s a bomb on Mark, you need to get out of here quickly!”
Mark, who was behind, was also startled by the sudden entrance of the person. Seeing that it was Maxim, he had a face of disbelief.
Before the Shen family went bankrupt, they had collaborated with the

Yoder Group, so Mark did know Maxim.
“Mr. Yoder, what were you doing here?!”
Maxim looked at him coldly, saying word by word, “You kidnapped my wife, what do you think I’m here for?!”
As soon as the words fell, everyone around, except for Melody, was immediately shocked.
After all, the marriage between Maxim and Briana was only known within a small circle of high society, it was not spread out.
Briana frowned, both of them were already divorced, why did he still have to say that?
But at this moment, she had no time to consider these things. She frowned at Maxim and said, “The dynamite on him is real, you need to leave immediately!”
The moment he saw Maxim, Mark’s legs had already started to go weak, and the hand holding Briana hostage was somewhat trembling.
If he had known earlier that Briana was Maxim’s wife, he wouldn’t have dared to cause trouble at MY Corporation even if he had ten times the courage.
But now that the arrow was on the string, he had no choice but to steel himself and meet Maxim’s gaze.
“Mr. Yoder, if it weren’t for Briana meddling in my family affairs, causing Melody to refuse to care about my well–being, I wouldn’t have come here to make a scene!”
Maxim stared at him as if he were looking at a dead man, “You call bringing a bomb to MY Corporation causing trouble?”

“As long as Melody was willing to transfer all the money to me, I could let Briana go!”
Briana was silent for a few seconds, suddenly realizing what had been wrong before.
If Mark had come to MY Corporation with a desperate determination, he wouldn’t have asked Melody for money.
“Mark, did you think the dynamite on you was fake?”
Mark’s body visibly stiffened, then he retorted angrily, “What nonsense are you talking about?! How could I possibly trick people with fake explosives?!”
Briana chuckled, her tone steady as she spoke, “The dynamite on you is real, I guess the person behind you lied to you. They made you bring this dynamite to MY Corporation, pretending to blow up
MY Corporation so that Melody would give you all the money.”
“Impossible! Don’t spread alarmist talk here! He couldn’t have deceived me!”
There was a hint of uncertainty in Mark’s tone.
“I had already called the police before I came down. If you don’t believe me, you’ll know I wasn’t lying when the bomb disposal expert arrives.” Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Mark was clearly startled by Briana’s words, lost in a moment of distraction.
Soon, he regained his composure.
“Impossible, you must be lying to me!”
“Did I have any need to deceive you? We were like grasshoppers tied

on the same rope. If the dynamite exploded later, we would all die here.”
Panic filled Mark’s eyes, the countdown sound in front of his chest at that moment was extremely harsh.
Owen told him the dynamite was fake, but what if it was real…
