My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas)
Chapter 816

Chapter 816

Spencer and the rest got to their feet. They finally snapped back to reality. Ms. Berry is still alive! She's still alive!

Lucas lifted his head and glanced at Lochlan. Without a word, he strode toward his car with Ashlyn in his arms.

Lochlan turned around and ordered his subordinates to put out the fire. "Hurry, put out the fire. Don't let it spread out. Find out if there are any other victims around."

After Lucas and the others disappeared, he couldn't stop hatred from filling his eyes. A vicious grin flitted across his lips.

Lucas Nolan, Joseph Field. This is just the beginning. You took my beloved away from me, so don't blame me for teaching you a lesson.

A veil of darkness shrouded the entire area.

The night breeze blew as dogs barked occasionally. The entire street was otherwise silent.

After a bustling day, Imperial Hotel finally descended into silence.

The empty building was eerily silent as it was closed of business.

Only the reception area on the first floor was brightly lit. The other floors were deathly quiet.

In one of the rooms in the dorm, Howard's face was pale as he stared at the two men in black who barged into his room.

Shock crept up his face as he asked, "What do you want?"

One man with a scar on his face gave him a vicious look. "Mr. Chef, Mr. Silvermoon wants you to take action tonight."

"They are innocent beings. Why are you doing this?" Howard stared at him, his face devoid of expression. "They won't affect our plan."

"It's better to be safe than sorry," the scarred man declared icily. "Members of the ZZ Organization never beat around the bush or harbor any feelings. Mr. Chef, are you telling me that you think of them as your colleagues?"

"What a joke!" the other bald man snorted out loud. "This is ridiculous. Friendship doesn't exist!"

"You escaped last time, so this is the chance for you to make up for your mistake." The scarred man tossed a packet of medicine to Howard. "You know what to do.”

The bald man bent down to pat Howard's cheek. "If you fail to carry out Mr. Silvermoon's orders, this time tomorrow will be your death anniversary."

"Really?" Something glinted in Howard's cerulean eyes.

The next second, a gun with a silencer appeared in his hand. He aimed at them and shot them both in their heads.

As both men collapsed to the ground, Howard slowly wiped his gun which was still hot.

Several dozens of men in black were standing behind a masked man on the rooftop of Imperial Hotel. Right then, a man came over to him and reported, "Mr. Silvermoon, Howard has finished them off as expected."

"What a bunch of useless trash!" the man's voice was as cool as the moon.

"What should we do now?"

"Since Howard chose to betray us, he shall get his wish fulfilled." The masked man flashed an icy grin. “No one shall be spared!”

"Got it!"

Dozens of men in black sneaked into Imperial Hotel from the rooftop like phantoms in the night.

The masked man stared at the crescent moon silently. "Ashlyn, you forced me to do this. You can be with anyone. Why did you end up with Lucas?"

Ashlyn is your everything, so I shall destroy it just like how you destroy your position in my heart.

The night was silent when a fire suddenly sprouted up on the second floor of Imperial Hotel. The roaring flame escalated ferociously and swallowed everything in its path.

Dark billowing clouds of smoke seeped through every crack of the hotel as the fire grew bigger and bigger.

In no time, the entire building was on fire.

The roaring flame intensified mercilessly with the help of the night breeze and wrapped its fiery fingers around the whole building.
