A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 1145

Chapter 1145 Explosion 

Suddenly, a deafening roar echoed from nearby! 

Boom! 

The entire world seemed to tremble as if a powerful earthquake had struck. 

“Ahh!” 

Lara lost her balance and instinctively reached out to grab Emmanuel, but then she realized he was her enemy! 

Emmanuel saw that she was about to fall and prepared to catch her. 

However, when he noticed that she was retracting her hand, he stopped himself. 

Thud! 

In the end, Lara fell heavily to the ground. Due to her plump buttocks, her body even bounced slightly. 

“Hey, are you okay?” Emmanuel asked with genuine concern. 

“D*mn it, why didn’t you hold me just now?” 

Lara loudly blamed Emmanuel. If she had known it would hurt so much, she would have held onto him. 

Emmanuel innocently shrugged. “You could have held onto me just now. Since you didn’t want to, why should I have held you?” 

There is a saying: you can’t save someone who wants to die. 

He didn’t want to help her and then be accused of being presumptuous! 

He would rather do nothing and let her scold him if she wanted. 

“Hmph, how ungentlemanly! Sc*mbag!” 

Lara gritted her teeth and cursed. 

Emmanuel paid no attention to her anymore. He just wanted to quickly figure out what had happened during the earthquake. 

The explosion seemed to have originated from the R&D center building a few hundred meters away from the Terence Group building. 

Not long after, a group of security guards rushed out of the building! 

Sheldon and Ryder were among them. 

“What happened?” 

Emmanuel quickly stopped them. Judging from their hurried appearance, they must have received some news. 

“I heard that there was an explosion in the R&D center. We need to go there quickly to assess the situation and provide on-site rescue!” 

Just as Sheldon finished speaking, Emmanuel saw Mackenzie and Lexi hurriedly coming out, followed by a large group of people. 

Even Mackenzie herself came out to take a look. It seemed that something significant had occurred. 

Emmanuel quickly followed. 

Soon, the group of people arrived at the R&D center, only to see thick black smoke billowing from the building. 

The head of security at the R&D center rushed over in a panic and reported to Mackenzie, “Ms. Quillen, something terrible has happened! The development of our new product failed, and there was a major explosion in the laboratory just now!” 

“Are there any casualties?” Mackenzie asked with a worried expression. 

If there were casualties, not only would the experiment be halted, but Terence Group would definitely face serious consequences! 

I knew we shouldn’t have commercialized Heart of the Sun! 

Dad has warned me countless times before that there would be significant risks in doing so. I shouldn’t have succumbed to the pressure from our family. 

“When the explosion occurred, there was no one in the R&D lab. Only Ms. Evan, the project leader, rushed over to assess the situation and was seriously injured in the second explosion.” 

“Besides that, some of the nearby research personnel suffered minor injuries, but it shouldn’t be life-threatening,” the head of security nervously explained. 

“Take me there.” 

Mackenzie didn’t focus her attention on the research equipment but rather on the staff. 

No matter the situation, human lives took precedence over inanimate objects!
