Chapter 196

As soon as Lola was untied, she cried to them in a hoarse voice, "Are you two crazy? Didn't you seeme shaking my head? He has explosives all over him!" She pointed to the guy who opened the door forthem just now.

Harry and Zoe smiled and that made Lola even more confused and helpless.

They were so stupidly fearless! They were crazy!

Thomas hurried to the site of the crime as well. Lola spotted him and yelled to stop him from comingany further, "You should all go away. There is a bomb here!"

Thomas was immediately stopped in his tracks. He looked up and saw the fearless Harry and a smilingZoe. He respected them so much for the courage that they were showing.

Everyone backed off upon Lola's warning.

Lucy hysterically laughed. "Jordan and Joseph should come here as well. After all, I am their auntie! It'skind of lonely to die alone. The more the merrier! Hahaha!"

"Lucy, the pocket watch is here. Let's go! There's no time to waste." The guy in the suit standing behindLucy greedily stared at the watch in Harry's hands. His face was full of lust and adoration.

On hearing his words, Lucy scornfully laughed. "You are a fool. Even if I get the watch, I won't be abletake possession of the crude oil. I don't think you can evade the law on your own! Good luck with that!"

Crude oil? What did she mean by that? Lola cast a glance at Lucy. She was absolutely confused. Lucy

wicked smiled back at her.

"Silly girl, don't you know the secret of the old pocket watch? President Herren and this manapproached you aggressively because of it. Don't you know about that? You foolish girl." Lucy gave herniece a meaningful look. She was indeed a beauty!

The past flooded towards her and made her heart hurt.

"Silly girl. This watch is the biggest fortune of the Newman family! Your grandmother passed it on toyou as her only granddaughter! I am so jealous of you! I really don't think you deserve it." She lit upanother cigarette in an enchanting manner and then blew a smoke ring into the thin air.

Harry pulled Lola over so that she could stay further away from Lucy.

Lucy saw this and dismissively laughed at them. She did not care. She had everything she wanted.

"Forget about it. You just wanted to be close to her for the sake of the watch. What confuses me is whyare you even pretending that you are in love with her?"

Harry radiated a cold look and snapped back, "Mind your own business!"

Lola looked at him and noticed that the blood was slowly dripping out of his wound. The situation hadjust become worse as they were now in a deadlock.

"Lucy, we will give you the watch. Just let them go!" Landon's familiar voice was heard from downstairs.

Lucy glared at Landon and emitted a loud wicked laugh. Thanks to this old man, she married Hilton!That loser of a man!

"Well, I have changed my mind. I want them all to die here with me! Haha!" The wild laugh of Lucyterrified literally everyone.

Landon became so furious that he almost fainted! He clenched his chest so hard.

On learning that the enemy had explosives upstairs, Harold advised the others to leave the site. Heonly asked the bomb squad to stand by so that the potential casualties could be reduced to a minimum.

"Are you sure you want the others to go to hell with you?" Zoe had kept his silence all this time but nowhe opened his mouth as he noticed something different about the man with the bomb wrapped on him.

His eyes looked lifeless and he was behaving like a confused child.

"Zoe, you go away with Harry. Just hand me the watch! You don't have to play the role of the hero.Nothing will change." Lola grabbed the watch from Harry's hand and walked straight to the floor-to-ceiling window. She was standing right on the very edge.

"Lola, you come here right now!" Harry's face froze as he was utterly shocked. How dare she disobeyhim like this! He couldn't put her in so much danger!

Lola peered over at the angry Harry. She wanted to remember this moment and his face in her mind.

Lucy witnessed all these and just smirked. She forcefully grabbed Lola by the arms. "Take it easy, mydear niece! You don't want to die alone, right?"

Harry immediately took action and pulled her back to himself. At that critical moment, the man whoopened the door for them lifted up his clothes. He had a lighter in hand and his chest was taped withexplosives.

Harry now had the chance to take a close look at the bomb. It was short-fused and could be easily lit toexplode within just three seconds!

"Everyone evacuate now!" Lola panicked and yelled to everyone in the yard.

On hearing her warning, everyone cautiously moved backwards. Angie has taken Nicole out of the yardalready.

"Harry, I am not related to you at all! Get out of here! And you Zoe, why the hell did you come here! Youshould all leave now!" Lola had become increasingly pressured by the situation and had pushed themtowards the door with all her strength. "Stop!" Lucy exclaimed viciously. "No one can leave!"

Zoe cast a glance at Lola and said to her in a solemn tone, "Lola, this is for you! I want to see youhappy! That's all I could ask for in this life."

With these words, he jumped onto the man with the bomb and forced him towards the window. "Zoe,come back!"

"Zoe!"

"Lit it!"

It all happened too soon. Harry, Lola and Lucy shouted out at the same time.

The bomb was lit up instantly. Zoe held on to the man tightly and they both fell out of the window to theground floor.

It all happened within 3 seconds.

"Bang!" The dreaded explosion happened in front of their eyes. As half of the first floor exploded intopieces, the second floor was already starting to collapse.

Another man fell straight downstairs. Slowly, Lucy and Zoe were gliding downwards.

Lucy soon fell into the debris on the ground floor. Her left arm was still clinging onto Harry. She wasalso trying desperately to hold onto Lola's hand.

Ten seconds after the explosion, everyone's ears were still ringing.

Lola was lying on a piece of the broken floor. She looked up and could see Harry holding her hand withgreat effort. HIs face was pale and his arm was bleeding.

She wanted to lose his grip but she saw him say something in a determined manner. She could nothear a word but judging from his mouth movement, she could tell that he said, Don't you dare, Lola!

When the wave died down, Jordan and Thomas dashed towards the second floor, in an attempt torescue everyone.

Together, they pulled up the helpless Lola. The four of them quickly evacuated from the scene.

Lola's hearing and her other senses came back to her. Without hesitation, she ran towards the debris.Tears streamed down her cheeks and she didn't even have the time to wipe them away.

"Zoe! Zoe!" Her face was as pale as paper. She did not do anything but call out his name again andagain.

The ground was a horrific scene. Blood and flesh were scattered everywhere.

The explosion was so huge that he wouldn't have a full body left. Harold pulled his daughter back sothat she would not step further into the debris.

"Zoe! Father. Please, let me replace him!" She knew well that it was impossible... But she still had aglimpse of hope that he would be alive!

The next second, she was pulled into a warm and familiar chest. This time, the embrace smelled ofblood.

Harry insisted on holding her and tried to calm her down. It was impossible for Zoe to be alive...

"Harry, just let me go! I need to check out on Zoe! Let me go!" She cried and kicked as if she could getZoe back.

He pressed her head against his chest and shared her pain. He softly said to her, "Lola... Zoe is gone.He was your hero until the very end."

Lola burst into tears. Why did her best friend die like that? He sacrificed himself for all of them...

She hated it so much. She should be the one to die! Zoe did not deserve this! Now she would be livingthe rest of her life with guilt!

The police soon arrived on the site and carried out their duties. Landon, Harold, Jordan and Thomas allheld different thoughts as they watched Harry embrace Lola in front of the broken house.
