Leroy sneered. “Who knows? Raise your hands and get over here!”
Silvia raised her hands and approached Leroy slowly. Everyone held their breath for fear that he might suddenly set off the bomb.
After she took a few steps, Dulcle suddenly stopped her.
“Silvia, don’t go!”
She looked at Leroy with anger and hatred. “Dad, what the hell do you want?! You won’t be satisfied until you ruin my life?!”
Leroy glanced at her coldly. “If she hadn’t influenced you, you wouldn’t have refused to give me money. It’s her fault that I’m pushed into a corner! Once she’s dead, you’ll be obedient again!”
“Are you insane?! Fine. Since you’re so determined to die, I’ll die with you! That way, everything will be over!”
Dulcie then quickly walked toward Leroy.
With the receptionist still as his hostage, Leroy moved backward in a panic.
“Don’t come any closer! Otherwise, I’ll set off the bomb!”
At this point, he still believed that the bomb was fake..
Seeing how agitated he was, Silvia quickly stopped Dulcie.
“Dulcie, he’s really worked up right now. I’ll
‘ provoke him. Since he’s here to see me, talk to him. Once I’ve replaced the receptionist as the hostage, you guys head upstairs right away. Evacuate everyone from the second to fifth floors to the sixth floor or above. It’d be even better if you could all leave the company.”
Dulcie shook her head. Her eyes turned red as she said, “No, Silvia. Let me be the hostage.”
Silvia frowned and replied, “He won’t agree since he’s here for me. I have a feeling that someone else might be behind this.”
Dulcie was in disbelief. “What do you mean?”
Just as Silvia was about to explain, Leroy interjected impatiently, “What are you two talking about over there?! You’re not scheming against me, are you?! Silvia Pond, you have one minute! If you don’t come here, I’ll set off the bomb, and everyone will die!”
“Dulcie, there’s no time for explanations. Don’t worry. I’ll be fine. Remember what I just told. you.”
With that, Silvia walked toward Leroy.
Dulcie saw the madness in Leroy’s eyes, and he felt like a complete stranger to her. He used to bring her gifts and speak to her with kindness. He changed after the Reed Family went bankrupt.
He had become a lunatic who only focused on personal gains.
Once Silvia was in front of Leroy, she calmly asked, “Can you let her go?”
Leroy released the receptionist and glared at Silvia. “Turn your back to me!”
He got angry when she did not move. “Hurry up! Don’t pull any tricks, or else, I’ll kill you!”
She finally turned around as he instructed, and he immediately wrapped his arm around her neck.
Dulcie quickly moved forward to support the receptionist, who had gone weak in the knees. Noticing that they were about to leave, Leroy angrily shouted, “Don’t move! I never said that you could all leave!”
Silvia frowned and said, “You brought the bomb here to find me, didn’t you? The others are innocent. Let them leave.”
Leroy’s voice was full of rage. “You’re in no place to tell me what to do! If you hadn’t interfered, Dulcie would have given me all her money!”
“So, what are you actually trying to do here?”
“I…
He was momentarily stunned. His original plan was to intimidate Silvia and get Dulcie to transfer all her money to him. However, Silvia seemed unfazed so far.
With that in mind, he viciously asked, “Aren’t you afraid of dying?!”
Silvia remained calm. “I am afraid, but does that make a difference? You have all the control now. Even so, I still want you to think this through. Is it truly worth risking your life here?” Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Anger filled his eyes, and he suddenly became more upset. “What does it have to do with you?! Even if I die, I’ll bring you down with me!”
After that, he abruptly activated the bomb.
With a beep, the screen on his chest lit up and started a thirty–minute countdown!
