Chapter 152 You Liar,A Beauty with Multiple Masks

 

Still feeling indignant, Iris mumbled something in protest. Then, she started to worry about Vinson. “I wonder how Mr. Nightshire’s doing. Why isn’t he out yet?” After shooting a glance at the burning building, Arielle pulled the captain of the firefighters back and asked anxiously, “How long more before the building collapses?” He shook his head. “Judging from the angle of the building, it won’t last for more than half a minute. We cannot go in anymore. Your friend… can only depend on himself.” Arielle immediately panicked. “If none of you can do it, I’ll go in!”

 

As she spoke, she charged toward the building. However, immediately afterward, the captain blocked her swiftly. “Ma’am, the building’s going to collapse soon. If you go in right now, you’ll only meet death. Calm down!” “Let go of me! I’m entering! He must have met some trouble!” “Calm down!” The captain hugged Arielle’s waist tightly while looking at the building which was on the brink of collapsing. Gritting his teeth, he said, “Okay! Wait here, I’ll go in again. Cooperate with the doctors and go to the hospital. I promise you that I’ll rescue your friend!” Arielle finally calmed down. With her current state, she would certainly die if she charged in right now. Biting on her lips, she stopped struggling and reminded the captain, “Be careful. If the situation doesn’t look optimistic…” She paused and said with much difficulty, “Retreat immediately.”

“Okay!” The captain immediately ran toward the building. However, he had just taken a few strides before a loud explosion sounded from the building. The entire structure started to collapse while the ground trembled violently. The captain froze in his tracks and yelled, “Retreat! Everyone, retreat!” As she spoke, he dragged Arielle, who was closest to him, and ran backward. Boom! A series of thunderous explosions resounded across the venue. Within a few seconds, everyone could see the dust billowing in the sky, concealing even the sun in the sky. The initially azure sky had now become a misty gray. When the captain pulled Arielle, she lost her balance and collapsed onto the ground.

Raising her head, all she could see was the dust obscuring everything else. The initially tall building was now gone, leaving behind a dust-covered pile of rubble. The color drained from Arielle’s face as tears rolled down her cheeks. “Damn it!” Pounding her fist against the ground, she sobbed and yelled, “Vinson, you liar! You promised me that you’ll not die inside! You liar! You big, fat liar! I will never trust you again!”

At that moment, a few sports car stopped behind her. Carter’s voice sounded behind her. “Ms. Moore, where’s Vinson?” Arielle raised her head while tears streamed down her cheeks. She was already breathless from crying. Pointing at the rubble, she said, “He… He’s dead… It’s all my fault! I should’ve looked for the child with him. It’s all my fault!” “D-Dead?” Carter widened his eyes in shock as he shook his head in disbelief.

Laughing, he said, “Ms. Moore, don’t joke around with me like that.” Arielle opened her mouth, wishing to speak. However, all she could do was sobbed. Carter’s face instantly drained of all color. She’s not joking? Stunned, he stared at the rubble. At that moment, the dust surrounding the rubble was blown away by the wind gradually. As the dust and smoke cleared, they could finally see the rubble clearly.
