The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy! novel Chapter 560

Chapter 560: Screwed By Badluck

Meanwhile, Haji’s situation was...

"You’ve got to be kidding me," Scarlet scoffed, her voice laced with repressed anger. "You’d better stay away from me, Chuck."

She was looking up, just like everyone else in their group. And yes, they were still underground. After retrieving the bag that Chuck had almost destroyed, they had to go through the traps once more.

Scarlet swore it took an entire lifetime not to push the man into the middle of those arrows. She had come very close, though.

Now, after surviving all those traps, they had finally reached their exit point from the underground, but they were still stuck.

The reason?

A car was parked directly on top of their exit.

"Fuck..." another one breathed out in frustration. "Now what?"

All of them turned their heads, but instead of setting their attention on Haji, their burning gazes automatically landed on Chuck. The man gulped, taking a step back, hands raised.

"Hah..." Chuck laughed awkwardly. "Come on, guys. That car is not my fault."

"It’s not," another one shot back, his voice filled with resentment, "but the reason we’re still trapped here is because of you."

Even Haji was utterly disappointed with the man. He tried to stop everyone else from killing Chuck, playing the good cop, but Chuck made it incredibly hard to stay nice.

"Damn," Haji huffed, hands on his hips as he cocked his head back. He stared at the metal above them, and through the gaps, he could see the underside of the car.

"We have to move," he said after a second, snapping everyone out of their murderous thoughts. "There’s another exit, but it’s farther away."

Scarlet’s face soured, her hand clenching into a fist. "We can’t wait for the car above us to move."

"I agree," another one added. "We should start now. We’ve already wasted too much time."

Haji nodded. "Then let’s go."

With that, their group—one that was expected to accomplish far more than the others—moved toward their next exit. This time, they sincerely hoped nothing like this would happen again.

As they moved quietly like rats through the underground, the last person in the group—their own version of Pika—held a compact laptop in his arms. One hand worked quickly over the keys while the rest of his attention remained on the group ahead.

"They still haven’t established our signal," he said, his voice echoing despite how soft it was. "I still can’t connect us to the other group."

It had been a while since they got stuck down here, and they had no idea what was happening above ground. Their situation was frustrating enough, but the lack of communication made it far worse.

The group paused and looked back at him.

"Not yet?" Haji asked, checking the wristband he’d received from the Order. "They should’ve finished by now."

In truth, they should’ve finished a long time ago.

Earlier, they hadn’t thought much of it because nearly everything that connected them to the other group had been damaged. Their tech guy had to make it work again, and with traps in between, it took time. But now, hearing that the connection still wasn’t established raised alarm bells in everyone’s head.

"Damn it!" Scarlet roared, her voice thundering through the underground. Once again, she glared at Chuck, dangerously close to throwing a punch.

Haji’s expression grew stern as well, his mind racing through the possibilities. If the Bellemonte operatives failed their mission, someone would have to fix it. And knowing Lola, he was certain that selfish woman was already assuming he would be the one to do the fixing!

"That freak..." he hissed through gritted teeth, drawing everyone’s attention.

"What is it?" someone asked, making Haji snap his gaze toward them.

"Nothing," he muttered bitterly. "Just imagining something."

Like a certain woman bragging nonstop about what she’d accomplished while he was stuck here, rubbing every success in his face. Just the thought of it made his expression twist.

Haji then shot Chuck a sharp look.

"Hah!" Scarlet huffed. "Let’s just get out and see what’s happening above ground. I doubt those guys made any real progress, anyway."

Without communication, she doubted the other team could’ve achieved much. Everyone seemed to agree, except Haji.
