She Quit Her Family and Found Herself novel Chapter 130

Herbert couldn't bring himself to answer. He carried Sylvie to the lobby sofas and gently set her trembling body down.

"Herbert, I'm talking to you. Do you have any idea that this is already all over the news? Who died? Who are the three critically injured?" Compared to the perfectly unharmed Sylvie, Justin was far more concerned about the actual casualties.

Everyone on that yacht was a core pillar of H&J. Losing any of them would deal a devastating, irreversible blow to the company.

At the question, Herbert's face stiffened. His eyes darkened, his lips pressing into a thin line as he remained dead silent.

At that moment, paramedics rushed in, carrying the three critically injured victims on stretchers.

All three were completely unconscious. Two of them had visibly mangled, broken limbs. The third was a lifeguard who had been severely injured while trying to save the other two.

Justin took one look and the blood drained from his face.

The two with the crushed limbs were their top laboratory tech leads.

With their hands and arms mangled like that, even if they recovered, they would never be able to perform precision lab work again. Their careers were effectively over...

Justin stumbled over, checking on the three men before grabbing the man in glasses, who was standing nearby in a state of shock. "Who died?"

The man in glasses flinched. Recognizing Justin, he broke down sobbing. "It was Vice President, Garth Coleman... He fell into the sea..."

Justin swayed, nearly collapsing onto the floor.

He couldn't believe it. The man who died was his absolute best executive.

If Sylvie was Herbert's right-hand woman, Garth was Justin's.

Whenever Justin was out, Garth single-handedly managed the company's entire marketing and sales division.

Herbert immediately stepped in, blocking Mrs. Coleman. "Mrs. Coleman, please calm down. This was a horrible tragedy, we never wanted this to happen..."

"My husband is dead! How the hell am I supposed to calm down?!" Mrs. Coleman shrieked, raising her hand to slap Herbert across the face as well. "You didn't want this? Someone warned you right on the dock before you left! They told you it wasn't safe! Why didn't you listen?! You forced them out there! My husband's blood is on your hands!"

Herbert's pupils violently contracted. The memory of Hulda standing on the docks, desperately trying to stop them from boarding, crashed into his mind.

Cowering behind Herbert, huddled on the sofa with a burning cheek, Sylvie finally snapped out of her daze.

A tidal wave of emotions surged in her eyes.

She, too, remembered Hulda's exact words.

She just never imagined that Hulda's terrifying prediction would actually come true.
