After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 670

Darren's expression darkened, his grip on the knife tightening as emotions churned in his eyes. "I don’t know what you’re talking about. I want money, and I want to get out of here—nothing else matters!"

Russell was about to say more, but his phone rang again, persistently interrupting him. With a furrowed brow, he answered, "Rina, what is it?"

Rina’s voice was filled with tears, "Russ, come back, please come back! I’m hurt, it hurts so much."

Russell asked calmly, "Have you called for an ambulance?"

Her sobbing intensified. "I did, but Russ, I need you here with me. I can only feel safe with you by my side. Please, come now, okay?"

Russell, trying to remain patient, responded, "Rina, I’m in the middle of something important. I’ll come to you as soon as I’m done, alright?"

But Rina was insistent. "No! You have to come now! If you don’t, I’ll tell my grandfather to cancel our cooperation. Russ, don’t make me do this!"

Russell’s eyes, usually warm and inviting, turned cold. "Fine, I’ll come to you."

"Okay, I’ll be waiting," Rina replied before hanging up.

Russell closed his eyes briefly, and when he opened them again, he charged straight at Darren!

Darren had been on guard. As soon as he saw Russell coming, he quickly lit the lighter and tossed it behind him into the factory!

The lighter hit the ground, instantly igniting the gasoline. Flames erupted and spread rapidly, too fast for anyone to react.

"You're asking for death!" Russell shouted, landing a punch squarely on Darren’s face. Darren stumbled, falling to the ground.

At that moment, the hidden bodyguards surged forward, quickly subduing Darren.
