Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 1630

Chapter 1630

The fire raged on for the entire day. If not for the miraculous rain, it might have consumed the entire forest. Alas, the rain put an end to it.

What was once a beautiful display of nature, an endless stretch of lush and thick blankets of greenery were now burned away, leaving behind only large and gray husks of tree trunks and piles of ashes blanketing the ground.

It was still drizzling.

The firefighters made one last final round of the area as unauthorized vehicles were still not granted entry into the sectioned ring.

A tall figure of a man stood directly in front of the barrier, overlooking the burned remnants of the forest. In just one day, he looked like he had lost a considerable amount of weight. He seemed frail and defeated.

A pair of empty eyes concealed behind the lens of his glasses stared blankly at nothing in particular.

After a lengthy investigation, several firefighters stepped out from amidst the smoldering forest and approached the barrier..

One of the firefighters, who appeared to be the chief, turned to John and informed regretfully, “Master Stockton, we found your house.”

John turned to him, his eyes were bloodshot.

The chief firefighter expressed with remorse, “The house was completely burned down. We were not able to salvage anything.”

“Where is she?” he asked, his voice raspy.

The chief firefighter hesitated to form a reply.

John suddenly stepped up to him and seized him by his shoulders. He was rattled and itching for a resolution of any kind. “Where is she? Did you find her?”

The chief firefighter seemed puzzled by this question. “Do you mean someone was residing in the house? When we went inside, we only saw piles of burned furniture. There were no signs of a burned corpse anywhere.”

No bodies?

She was gone the entire time? Did she manage to slip away?

John’s eyes glowed with a faint trace of hope. He pushed the chief firefighter away and quickly marched into the smoldering forest since he knew where the house was.

Several bodyguards who managed to escape from the burning house last night joined him.
