After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 575

Chapter 575 Susan's Change

What he did made Susan more sure about her answer-the man ahead of her was Manuel. But the touch was gone abruptly the next second. And she could feel he'd stopped staring at her.

How she wished she could call his name loudly! The man seemed to have been further and further away from her.

She was afraid Manuel was going to leave her and give her up. Insecurity haunted her at the time.

She even couldn't tell whether she was afraid of being killed the next second or she was afraid that Manuel would just leave her there. She began struggling crazily.

At this moment, Manuel seemed to have chilled out by then. Led by instinct, he picked the red wire. He would die with Susan if he picked the wrong one.

He lifted the knife and cut the red wire with strength.

Suddenly, the ticktock of the timer stopped. He made it! The bomb didn't blow up.

Manuel was sweating like hell again and was all wet. He just slumped on the floor when he realized the timer had stopped counting.

Indeed, he'd assumed the worst that he'd be bombed to ashes together with Susan if he cut the wrong wire.

He gasped heavily and helped Susan take the bomb off her ankle, then tried to leave with Susan in his arms.

Suddenly, the timer, which had stopped, began counting down with that ticktock again.

Manuel was frozen. He turned around to look at the bomb again. This time he'd got 30 seconds.

Unbelievably, it was a serial time bomb. That was to say, the timer would be triggered again ten seconds after he cut the wire. And, he couldn't cut the wire to stop the explosion this time.

Manuel picked up the bomb and ran out of the warehouse as fast as he could. Susan could only feel someone running fast away from her like a gust of wind.

Was something wrong?

Susan had no idea what she'd been through from the very beginning until she heard a big noise like an explosive sound, which was not so far or close to her.

The big noise was very scary and the warehouse was shaking, but she wasn't injured at all.

Susan was falling apart.

What on earth had happened? And where had Manuel been?

She tried hard to stand up but she was tied up and couldn't move at all.

It felt like ages. Suddenly, someone took off the blinder for her. Finally, she could see again.

She fixed her eyes on the man in front of her.

It was Henry.

How could it be Henry?

Where was Manuel?

Shouldn't it be Manuel?

"Susan? Susan?" Henry saw Susan and got scared out.

How come she was kidnapped in the middle of the night?

How come she'd been abused like this?

He saw her face was deadly pale, and she had bruises all over. Henry stared at her anxiously and pulled out the cloth from her mouth and took out the earplugs from her ears.

It took quite a while for Susan to come back to earth. She looked around, trying to find Manuel. But where was he?

"Susan," Henry was scared by Susan's frightened face, "There. There. It's OK. I'm here. I won't let you get hurt again. Don't be scared, my love."
