Chapter: 593


    In the midst of their struggle, the bomb’s switch was inadvertently triggered.


    Beep, beep, beep…


    Millie’s gaze dropped to her waist. The bomb was equipped with a device, its red light pulsating in a


    frantic cadence. A minute remained before detonation. The fallen kidnapper fought to rise.


    “Damn it! The bomb’s set to blow in a minute!”


    Asecond kidnapper and Lois halted their skirmish. The holder of the remote fixated on the device in his


    grip—a device once activated could not be reversed. Imminent destruction loomed.


    Lois hastened to Millie’s side, scrutinizing the bomb.


    “Millie, what’s our move?”


    “We run. The building’s about to erupt.”


    With each passing second, the numbers blinked away—55, 54, 53… Millie’s mind shifted from


    composure to shock. But as reality took hold, she impelled Lois forward.


    “Go quickly; abandon me.”


    Lois’ fate needn’t be entwined with hers.


    “No, Millie. I’m taking you with me. This shouldn’t have been your burden.”


    Having severed her own bindings, Millie nudged Lois.


    “Swiftly, or you’ll run out of time.”


    Seconds dwindled, leaving only Lois and the unscathed kidnapper as potential escapees.


    “Millie.” Lois paused, ncing back briefly.


    “Run!”

    In the midst of leaving with the divorce agreement, Derek paused at the hangar, noting the vibrating


    phone.


    “Mr. Thomas, your phone is ringing,” he called to Marcus.


    Marcus raised his gaze, instructing, “Pass it here.”


    With swift efficiency, Derek fetched the vibrating phone from the coat pocket. The caller’s identity


    surprised him.


    “Mr. Thomas, it’s from madam.”
