Chapter 475


    From Edward‘s solemn expression and hesitation when speaking, Alexander knew something was up.


    He nced at Lily and Brandon before getting to his feet and walking further from them to speak with


    Edward. “What is it?”


    Edward whispered some things to Alexander, which changed thetter‘s expression as he


    subconsciously looked in Lily‘s direction. Lily‘s heart dropped from that one look without him having to


    say anything.


    “I got it.” Alexander nodded and walked back to the dining table while Edward stayed in his spot.


    Alexander stood by the table, and Lily looked up at him. On the other hand, the nitwitted Brandon was


    still chunking down food, not expecting Alexander to be such a good cook that he couldpare


    Alexander‘s dishes to a Michelin chef‘s. His attention was on the food only, and he could not care less


    about what the couple was talking about.


    Alexander‘s gazended on Brandon for a moment before he looked at Lily and said solemnly, “Afire


    happened at Oakville Park a while ago.”


    “Okay.” Lily nodded, waiting for him to continue. Before Alexander did, something shed across her


    mind.‘ Oakville Park? This ce sounds familiar!‘ “Isn‘t that... where Liv stays now?” Lily remembered

    the ce because she had sent Olivia home twice before. Plus, her ce was near their office


    building.


    Alexander nodded, telling her that she was right. Instantly, shock washed over Lily, and she stood up


    right away.” Then, Liv...”


    “The entire building went up in a ze. Most of the residents got sent to the hospital. We‘re still trying


    to get the details.”


    Edward got the news earlier and immediately reported it to me.


    “I need to go and take a look!” Lily panted anxiously, wanting to rush out the door, but Alexander


    stopped her. “The firemen, police officers, and ambnces are there now. They‘re professionals. You


    can‘t do anything there other than be worried, and you might even disrupt their work. Stay calm. I‘ve


    asked Edward to find out more about the situation. We‘ll know right away once they find Olivia.”


    His words made sense, but it was hard for Lily not to feel anxious.


    In the few years she worked at MN Inc., Olivia was her only good friend. Olivia would stand up for her


    in everything, including getting back at Nathaniel for being a jerk toward her. They would often stay up


    Olivia would be considerate of Lily no matter what she did. Aspared to a friend, Olivia felt more like


    family to Lily, so how could she not panic now that she heard something might have happened to


    Olivia? However, Alexander’s words reminded Lily of something.


    Lily looked at her home clothes and understood it was inappropriate to rush to the scene looking like


    that. Hence, she nodded calmly. “Okay, I‘ll go and get changed quickly. We‘ll head over immediately if


    there‘s any news about her, regardless if it‘s good or bad.” Although Lily tried to calm herself down, her


    voice still trembled. She was afraid that bad news would return to them.


    “Don‘t worry. I‘ll stay with you.” Alexander held her hand,forting Lily and trying to give her the


    strength to get through this.


    Lily ascended the stairs while Alexander watched her, sighing in his heart. When he turned around, he


    saw Brandon, who was dumbfounded. Thetter had finally stopped eating and looked at Alexander in


    confusion, his mouth slightly agape.


    Seeing that Alexander was looking at him, he put down the spoon in his hand. “Uh... were you guys


    referring to the run down apartment at Oakville Park? The one you said went up in mes?”


    “Yeah.”


    “That ce is not well–maintained, and even the wire circuits are in terrible condition. Although its


    location is quite strategic, it has been cast aside and not adequately maintained for far too long. Also,


    the city council had ns to rebuild the ce.


    I‘m not surprised that a fire happened there, but...” Brandon was familiar with that area. It was just that


    he found it unusual for them to be nervous.


    “Your wife was quite anxious after hearing the news. She doesn‘t have any rtives staying there,


    does she?” ‘This beautifuldy refuses to tell me her name, and I have no idea about her family


    background. If she‘s from a low ie family, I won‘t be surprised if she has any rtives staying


    there. Still, only two types of people would reside there–low–ie families who have been residents


    since day one or tenants from other cities. The tenants who would rent this ce were probably not


    financially well–off either. That was why they chose to stay there; it was cheap.‘
