NovelEnglishChapter 396 No way.
I refuse to believe in such coincidences.
I had my car keys and was almost out the door when Bryant suddenly grabbed my wrist and said, “Where are you headed? Letdrive you." "I need to find a place with a signal." Before leaving, I fixed my gaze on him. "What was the deal with that livestream this afternoon? Why can't I find any playback online?" His eyes flickered for a moment before he replied, "A lot of livestreams don't offer replays." "That's bull.” I remembered when Gregory made an appearance at an event, and videos of him were all over the internet, with fans editing and replaying clips non-stop. But this livestream? Not a single clip to be found online. As if it never happened.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSuddenly, I was sure of something. My fingers trembled. "Bryant, that livestream was fake, wasn't it? Something's happened to Gregory, hasn't it?" "Jane..." "Don't 'Jane' me, answer me!” I stepped back, unable to control my rising voice. "Why lie to me? If something happened to him, why not tell me? Why create a non-existent livestream to deceive me?" "I didn't mean to deceive you." Bryant was desperately trying to calmdown. “Jane, we need to wait a bit longer. Givestime, and I'll tell you the truth as soon as I can." "I just want to know what happened!" I wanted to stay calm, but I couldn't. Almost pleading, I looked at him. "Bryant, I'm begging you, tellwhat's going on!" His face showed a hurt expression, incredulously looking at me. "You would begfor him?" 1/3 "Yes, I'm begging you! Are you happy now?" "Not happy!" His face as cold as ice, he pushedback into the room. "Before we go to get the divorce papers the day after tomorrow, you're not going anywhere." With that, he shut the door forcefully.
"Bryant!" I banged on the door. "Letout!" But there was no response.
I ran to the window, noticing extra security guards in the yard. I stretched my phone out, trying to catch a signal. "Ding." A message actually cthrough.
I quickly glanced at it and felt a thunderbolt strike me, my vision darkening.
-Jane, the Ford Group's laboratory exploded.
It was a message from Mark.
I tried to remain calm and immediately called him back.
He picked up. "Jane, did you get my message? I was worried it didn't go through. I tried calling earlier but couldn't get through. I thought something might've gone wrong." Clutching my phone, my voice hoarse, I asked, "Mark, are you telling the truth? Were there any casualties?" I knew the answer even before he replied. Otherwise, Christine wouldn't have. reacted the way she did that afternoon. Bryant wouldn't have gone through all this trouble.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Yes, it happened last night. But the news only started spreading online before it was quickly suppressed by RF." Mark gave a definitive answer, hesitating. "There were casualties." I asked, "How many?7
He replied, "At the time... it was nighttime, only Gregory and his team were in the lab. The content is on begal novelenglish.net! 09:03 1
My fingertips trembled severely. My lips quivered, and my throat feltm blocked as if stuffed with a sponge soaked in water. It tooka while to speak. "And... what about Gregory? How is he?" "He..."
Mark seemed to struggle. "After the explosion, the police arrived quickly. Gregory has not been found since, and the police.... might declare him dead." "Dead... dead?" I murmured in disbelief.
Gregory dead...
That's impossible...
How could he just die like that? Mark tried to console me. "Jane, stay calm, I'm now..." X
