"Ivy Kensington, let’s perish together!"
Rhiannon Zane said in despair.
Although Master Gard had subtly urged her to leave the laboratory, the Zane family could no longer accept her! Because no one had ever been persuaded to leave the lab before, and she was the first, bringing shame upon the Zane family’s honor!
All of this was Ivy Kensington’s fault. If she had handed over the datura earlier, how could Rhiannon have sunk to such a level... It was Ivy who ruined her future!
Sebastian Blackwood had just sent Nina Shaw home, pinching his temples wearily. Google seaʀᴄh N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
Nina Shaw was too clingy towards him.
Owen Rhodes carefully observed his condition and asked, "Master Blackwood, is it a headache again?"
Sebastian responded with a cold hm.
He could tolerate this level of headache.
Owen retracted his gaze and casually turned on the radio, thinking to play some light music to ease him, but it was broadcasting the latest news instead—
[At ten PM, a sudden fire broke out at Master Gard’s laboratory in Veridia; the entire lab is engulfed in flames, firefighters have arrived promptly, and it’s currently unknown if there are any casualties. We will continue to follow up with further reports...]
Isn’t Master Gard’s lab where the madam works?
Owen muttered to himself.
Sebastian’s expression changed drastically, "Has Ivy returned to the villa?"
Owen snapped to attention and quickly contacted Mrs. Langley.
"Madam hasn’t returned yet. Special Assistant Rhodes, is there something urgent Master Blackwood needs Madam for?"
On the other end, Mrs. Langley muttered in confusion.
Madam is likely still in the laboratory...
It was as if Sebastian had guessed the outcome. His Adam’s apple bobbed, and he instructed Owen to get out of the car, personally taking the wheel as the Maybach sped off like an arrow.
This foolish woman Ivy, she dares to get into trouble, and he’ll definitely have her pay!
Suddenly, the laboratory was on fire.
Wayne Ward and the others felt a wave of fear; just a little more, and they would have perished in the sea of flames. Fortunately, they had exited early.
"Is there anyone left inside?"
A firefighter inquired.
If no one was inside, the rescue operation could proceed more smoothly.
Wayne was about to nod when someone said, "Not sure if Junior Sister Jiang left..."
Immediately, Wayne was uncertain.
Though Ivy had been ahead of them, she should be fine.
Just then, a black Maybach forcefully drove in, and everyone was stunned.
Mas... Master Blackwood?
Sebastian got out of the car, decisively commanding, "Proceed swiftly with the rescue."
The firefighters nodded and carried hoses into the blaze. Sebastian added, "Owen, find me a set of protective gear."
Owen was thoroughly shocked; Master Blackwood actually wanted to go in, but... he was most afraid of fire...
Years ago, Nina’s brother died in a fire while saving Sebastian.
Since then, Sebastian had developed a stress disorder; he would get headaches at the sight of fire and, in severe cases, might even go into shock. This was a secret only Owen knew.
Now, hearing that Sebastian intended to go inside to find someone, Owen anxiously said, "Master Blackwood, don’t be impulsive. Madam might not be inside."
Didn’t Wayne and the others say Ivy left first?
Sebastian’s expression was cold, "Find the protective gear!"
"Master Blackwood..."
Owen knew he couldn’t persuade him, gritting his teeth, he fetched a set of protective gear.
Sebastian swiftly donned the gear; before him was a towering blaze, as if it were burning into his eyes.
The man’s dark pupils flashed a momentary, subtle pain.
