Chapter 320
With a thunderous boom, the entire mountain shook. This huge explosion sent sand, rocks, and soil flying everywhere, and all the trees were left damaged with their trunks in pieces. Lauren was also sent flying by the blast and was severely injured.
She looked up in shock and saw that the dust in the center of the explosion had dissipated. Then she noticed a bloody pulp on the ground. This was what was left of Jordan, who had been in the center of the explosion just now.
Jordan, my… my son…” Lauren wailed. She stared at the bloody pulp in front of her in disbelief, her ears ringing. Suddenly, she screamed and ran to it as if she had gone crazy. A shrill scream resounded through the valley. “Son”
Sandra, hiding behind the rock, could not help but cover her car Fortunately, she ran fast and escaped the explosion. She did not expect the power of the miniature explosives to be so terrifying
“But it was a pity that Tiffany escaped. I’ve spent so much effort dealing with her. Dying like that is too good for Jordan, Sandra thought, pursing her lips in disdain,
In the mess behind Sandra, Lauren was crying out of breath. She was on the verge of going crazy and almost broke down as she hugged Jordan.
The Booth family had only had one son for a few generations. With Jordan’s death, the family was going to die out.
Lauren was overwhelmed with grief and cried her heart out. She did not notice that Sandra had sneaked closer from behind with a huge rock high in her hand. Sandra was ready to smash Lauren in the head at any moment.
Not far away. Jeremy, following closely behind, was unaffected by the explosion. When he saw this, he was about to stop Sandra Unexpectedly, a noise sounded not far away.
Sandra turned at the noise and saw the villagers arrive. She could only flee and temporarily gave up the thought of killing
Lauren.
The commotion on this mountain quickly spread to Melvor Mountain Village. The villagers thought Lauren was the only person involved and witness. When she was rescued, the agony of losing her son already left her crazy, crying and laughing.
Lauren said nothing when asked about what had happened on the mountain. She even called anyone she met “son”. As a result, the local people blamed the mountain blasting for the incident.
Jeremy returned to the village chief’s home and told Tiffany the whole story. “I’m sorry. You asked me to follow and not let anything happen to Jordan and his mom. In the end…” Jeremy said with remorse.
This was the first time he had filed to do Tiffany’s bidding. Tiffany shook her head and said, “It’s not your fault.”
No one could have known that Sandra had planted a bomb in that place.
“What’s next? Do we continue to follow her?” Jeremy asked.
“No need.” Tiffany shook her head. “With such a thing happening, the entire mountain will be sealed off and safety hazards will be eliminated. Sandra is not stupid. She will not continue to stay on the mountain.”
There was no place for Sandra here anymore. The only person she could go to now was Felix. She would hide in the castle.
Jeremy did not say anything and quietly waited for Tiffany’s order.
But Tiffany said, “You’re not making any move for
“Okay.” With that, Jeremy walked away.
Go and rest.
Tiffany sat down at the table. Just as she was staring at the cup in front of him in a daze, all the lights in the room suddenly went out: Then there was some noise outside.
Zoe came out of the room with her phone. Spooked, she asked, “You scared me. Why did the power suddenly go out?”
Tiffany walked out with her and realized that the entire village had fallen into darkness.
A moment later, something lit up, and Tiffany looked and found it was all candlelight.
The village chief took out a candle and gave it to Tiffany and Zoe He explained, “The mountaintop got blown up in the evening, remember? A small area collapsed, and the wires were imaged. So the whole village is in a blackout. Now, let’s pray that it doesn’t rain. Heavy rain easily causes minor fasli flooding.”
Sometimes people just couldn’t get what they prayed for. It rained heavily all night. There was a storm, lightning, and thunder.
The wind uprooted several trees, and the wires remained out of service. The most terrifying thing was the flash flood.
The village chief’s house was quite far away. Even if the flood triggered landslides, it would not affect his house. However, several families living at the foot of the mountain had suffered. Their houses were destroyed overnight. Even though they evacuated in time, many were trapped on the way.
Under such circumstances, several helicopters dipped and brought back all the trapped people. Fortunately, there were no casualties/
The village chief said with a sigh. “Fortunately, we’re blessed. Kind people came to our village and saved the villagers. We wouldn’t know how to make it through otherwise.”
Tiffany put on a coat and rushed into the courtyard next door in the rain. No bodyguard dared to stop her again, and she ran straight into Richard’s room.
At the table, the neatly dressed Richard seemed to have just finished taking his medicine. When he saw her, he even waved, saying, “Come here.”
After a shocked pause, Tiffany replied. “Yes.” Then she walked over.
Richard pulled her to his side and grabbed a clean towel to dry her hair and clothes. He frowned and asked, “Why aren’t you taking an umbrella with you?”
Tiffany dodged. “It’s just a few steps away. Besides, I managed to stay dry
Richard did not say anything. So Tiffany asked, “Are you… leaving today?”
She saw his subordinates packing up last night. Since then she had supposed Richard would leave today.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
‘Come to think of it, he’s so busy that he barely had a break. He has such a big company to run. How could he have so much time to stay in this small village? Tiffany thought.
Upon hearing this, Richard pinched Tiffany’s cheek and chuckled. “Why? You can’t bear to part with me?”
This flirting question caught her off guard. She thought, “That’s not… not how I feel It’s just that I may need some time to get used to doing everything alone.”
Tiffany cleared her throat and said, “Have a safe trip. See you back in Lovell City.”
According to the original plan, she was supposed to leave today. However, the weather forbade her to stick to it. She had to stay for another day because of the flood. If the flood got out of control, the villagers wouldn’t be able to handle it on their Own.
Richard did not say anything. He only rested his chin on her head and gently stroked her long hair with his rough fingers.
He was a little affectionate and reluctant.
A few minutes later, John walked in and said, “Richard, we’re good to go.”
“OK, Richard responded indifferently but did not move.
Tiffany was afraid of delaying him, so she hurriedly said, “Hurry up and leave. I’ll be back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at the latest. Don’t worry.
As she spoke, she looked up and met Richard’s gaze. She could decipher the unreadable emotion in his deep eyes,
“I’ll leave you some men and a helicopter. They’re at your disposil,” Richard said.
“Alright.” Tiffany nodded.
“Just instruct them to do whatever they need to do. Don’t put yourself in danger,” he added.
“Okay.” Tiffany’s eyes could not help but smile as she felt amused and warm. Seeing that he was about to say something else, she took the initiative to ask, “Go ahead, Richard. I’m listening.”
He kissed her on the lips instead. “Don’t make me miss you too much.”
