Chapter 1882
"What!?"
Lily's eyes widened in shock. "This evil woman sold us out!?" 1
She became furious and exasperated. "What can we do now?"
Amelia gazed at everyone leaving to do as tasked and declared, "Tiffany sold us out...so I hope she won't blame us for ratting her out in return!"
Lily looked over and saw Charmine and Senior Jordan. "You want to tell them everything, Amelia? We might have to go to jail for this!" "Oh, do you want us to sit here and wait for our deaths, then?!" Amelia stared at Lily wide-eyed as she growled.
Lily felt that their lives were more important. She helped Amelia up, and the two of them walked toward Charmine.
"Dad..." "Grandpa..."
While Charmine and Senior Jordan were checking out for the leaking gas, two weak voices were heard from behind them.
Both of them stopped what they were doing and turned around.
Lily and Amelia had knelt before them and began to confess remorsefully.
"Father, it's our fault. We shouldn't have believed what the evil woman said!
Evil woman?
Tiffany?
Charmine frowned and asked, "What happened?" "Yesterday, that vile Tiffany had asked for our cooperation to put a USB onto the computer of the company's finance department and transfer the funds out. She offered us one billion and promised to send us out of the
country! We didn't expect this woman to use us and then even tried to kill us!" Lily sobbed and whimpered. "I'm so sorry, Dad. We were foolish and helped the wrong person..."
When Senior Jordan heard this, his head buzzed. His aged body wavered, and he almost lost his balance. 1
Charmine caught him just in time.
Senior Jordan looked disappointed. He looked at the mother-and-daughter pair kneeling before him before rebuking them, "You two... You two! After everything that had happened, have you not figured out who Tiffany is?
How could you trust her? Are you happy, now that everyone's lives are at risk?" "No, Dad, don't say that! We've been lied to!" reasoned Lily as though she was wronged,
Charmine looked at both Amelia and Lily before commenting, "Even if you two die, you deserve it!"
With that said, she held onto Senior Jordan. "Grandpa, let's go."
If she wasted any more time with the two of them, they might all end up dying here!
Senior Jordan no longer cared about Amelia and Lily, deciding to leave with Charmine in the end.
Fear crept into Lily and Amelia's hearts as they watched Charmine and Senior Jordan ignore them. They had both caught a whiff of the gas and were equally worried about dying in this mansion. Moreso, they both felt clueless.
Seeing that Charmine did not ask them to leave, they could only follow closely behind her.
After everyone had been split up into three groups in an attempt to detect and fix any damages, everyone reunited in the backyard.
Charmine asked, "Any findings?" "No," replied Robert.
The butler that had led the maids shook his head. "No."
Charmine frowned. They had not found out the gas leakage, but the smell had only intensified.
Robert sniffed at the dangerous gas and frowned. "Sis, the gas leakage is intensifying. I'm worried that this building may explode anytime..." Explode anytime?
Everyone was so terrified that their faces went pale in their anxiousness.
Everyone feared for their lives.
Charmine was suspicious. The smell was intensifying, but they could not even identify the source.
This was no doubt a difficult task.
When the gas concentration had
the
lower limit of 4.4%-5% and the upper limit of 15%-17%, there would be an explosion with the presence of fire or static electricity.
They had to get to the bottom of this quickly.
Charmine looked at the butler seriously. "Butler, bring the maids inside to bring out some masks! We won't inhale too much gas with this!"
