Chapter 688 Ironic
"Carme, I''m warning you as a friend. Don''t me me for reminding you, but some things aren''t
meant to be yours. Don''t be greedy, lest you make a fool of yourself. You''re a strong woman, as is your
reputation. You know the importance of maintaining your reputation. Jaqueline turned to look at
Carme. Her tone wasn''t soft."
Carme''s heart sank. Her face turned pale and she was lost in her own thoughts.

She was a proud woman. She had once held her head high in front of men. What had happened to
her? What exactly was she doing?
"In a small de in Harvey Manor, the bomb disposal expert sent by Brooklyn was busy dismantling
the explosives. The instruments they brought detected some safe spots where there were no bombs
present. Therefore, everyone in Harvey Manor gathered there. Hudson established a temporary
"When Martin brought Rosa over, almost everyone from the mansion had arrived. Not long after,
Jaqueline and Carme arrived as well."
"Paige and Hudson''s sister were standing in front of Sophia''s memorial tablet. No matter what,
someone had to guard her memorial tablet these days."
"General Perry was sitting in front of themand table, examining theyout of the mansion. He
discussed the possible dangers with Albie Williamson and Hudson in a low voice."
"When Martin brought Rosa here, General Perry swept a nce at Rosa. He frowned and his eyes
darkened, with an unreadable emotion in their depths."
Rosa didn''t dare to return the look. She just lowered her head and pretended not to see him.
"General Perry just raised his head and nced at her. Then, he lowered his head and continued
discussing the details with Albie Williamson and the others."
"Rosa, since you don''t want to leave, then stay by my side and let me protect you. There might be
dangers. Remember, don''t leave my side. Martin brought Rosa to a corner not far away from General
Perry and whispered."
"His voice was gentle and maic. He was holding her hand tightly, as if afraid that she would
disappear."
Rosa began to feel dizzy. The scent of the man next to her continuously poured into her nose and she
began to feel as if she was floating in the air. It was only when Carme looked at her with a cold gaze
that she felt like someone had suddenly sshed a bucket of cold water on her face. The panic and
confusion in her eyes dissipated and was shrouded in ayer of frost. She calmed down and began to
brush off Martin''s hand with all her strength.
"Martin looked around. The more Rosa struggled, the tighter he held her hand. He leaned forward and
whispered in her ear, ""Rosa, don''t move. If there''s anything, then we''ll die together. I''ve said that you
can only be my woman in this life."""
"Rosa''s face was burning with anger. Fortunately, his voice was low enough. No one noticed them
because of the tension of the scene. Otherwise, she couldn''t imagine how embarrassed she would be."
"However, just like this, she stayed with Martin and her hand was still in his. This alone was enough to
make her feel flustered."
"She regretted it all of a sudden. If she had known it would be like this, then she would have gone out
earlier. It was really embarrassing."
Carme''s eyes drifted back and forth as she looked towards their direction from time to time. Her face
darkened every time.
"After a while, Gareth, who was working on the bombs, came over, and said to General Perry with a
serious look, ""General, we have found several ces with explosives, and some are timed bombs, all
set at seven o''clock in the evening. Unfortunately, there is also a ce buried with poison gas bombs,
which is very dangerous."""
"As soon as he said that, General Perry, Albie Williamson, and everyone frowned."
"The seven members of Gareth''s family had been dismantling bombs for their entire lives. They were
experts in this field. So, his words had a high degree of authority."
"General, the poisonous gas bombs require an authoritative bomb disposal expert. Moreover, the
mansion is quiterge. First of all, we have to run a thorough check and find out how many ces are
buried with bombs. Of course, it''s best to bring another person to the crime scene to verify it personally.
We can''t be careless. After all, it''s a bomb. This workload is veryrge and we''re afraid we won''t be
able to dismantle every bomb. The person behind this really wants the mansion destroyed. This is
definitely arranged on purpose. I''m afraid he knew that there aren''t any experts in the country who can
dismantle these bombs in such a short time. He is desperate to destroy the mansion, Gareth said,
feeling a little frightened."
"Although he had been a bomb expert for generations, he had never seen such a dangerous scene. He
was sweating profusely."
"No matter what happens, we have to protect Harvey Manor. You have to act as soon as possible.
Dismantle as many bombs as possible. General Perry stood up with a grave expression on his face as
he gave out the order."
"Gareth could only nod. While trembling in fear, he hurried to carry out the order."
"General Perry, Yadriel is horrible. This move is beyond our expectations. Albie Williamson muttered,
""It''s toote to find every bomb disposal expert in the country. Once the poisonous gas bomb
explodes, it will be awful."""
"General Perry''s eyes darkened as he said, ""Albie Williamson, I''m afraid it''s toote. There isn''t such
an advanced bomb disposal expert in the country. It seems that Harvey Manor is really in trouble this
time."""
"As soon as General Perry finished his words, there was dead silence around them."
"Hudson, Evan, and Martin all had sorrowful expressions on their faces. Rosa could feel that Martin''s
grip on her hand was bing tighter. She turned and saw that his entire body was tense, as if he had
fallen into a state of emptiness."
"Her heart was heavy as well. The family hall of Harvey Manor carried many beautiful memories for
her. If such a beautiful ce was destroyed, then she would be pained for the rest of her life."
"However, they were facing a crisis that even her father could not solve, and even the bomb disposal
experts sent by Brooklyn felt helpless. So, what could she do?"
Her heart ached more and more as time went by.
"On a t piece ofnd deep within Sunshine Mountain, Yadriel sat on the ground with no trace of life in
his eyes. He clenched his fists tightly and his entire body was trembling."
"He had killed his son, his only son. He could not bear this ending."
"He had been proud of Sergio since he was a child, but then he had killed him. How ironic!"
"My silly son, why did you have to fall in love with that woman? Why couldn''t you be like me?"
His heart ached.
He had been too careless!
"When he saw that his son had been shot by Calvin, his heart tightened. He only wanted to kill Calvin
and his wife to avenge his son. He had been negligent and forgot that his son was in love with Belle.
He did not expect that he would protect her with his own body."
Or perhaps he didn''t think that his son would be so foolish.
"After a long time, he stood up."
"Sir, when are we leaving? The helicopter was parked in this open space. It had been designed by
Yadriel a long time ago. A few years ago, he had secretly built this vi on Sunshine Mountain, as well
as an escape tunnel underground that led to this open space, which could amodate a helicopter.
He had thought about it a long time ago. He would take off in this area of A City and run away with the
Ocean Heart. This was thest escape route and also the most secretive n he had prepared.
Everything could have gone as nned, but he had ended up being the only person left."
"He copsed onto the ground and muttered, ""Hudson, I lost my son. I will make you lose everything
too. Just wait and see. You won''t have a good ending when you go against me."""
The pilot stood there in silence.
"The time when the bombs nted in Harvey Manor explode is the time to for us to leave. Now that
they''re in a mess, they''ll be too scared out of their wits to care about me. Yadriel fished out a cigarette
and lit it before taking in a deep breath. The muscles on his face twisted as he let out a sinisterugh.
Hisughter was extremely terrifying."
"However, once again, Calvin barged into the vi and led a few policemen in a search. An hourter,
they had not found anyone. Not just Yadriel, but not even one of his men were found."
"After ke came in, they also helped to search around the area. There was nothing left in the vi
except for some weapons and food. It was difficult to find anything valuable."
"Mr. Harvey, it seems that the person who tried to shoot Madam Belle is gone. He may have left the
vi, ke said to Calvin after observing the vi for a while."
Calvin nodded. "Looks like Yadriel escaped."
"Mr. Harvey, there should be some secret tunnel in this vi, given that he was able to escape so
quickly. But let''s not continue to search for it. Even if we can catch up with him, it''s too dangerous.
ke''s eyes shed with sharp light, and he was very reasonable with his suggestion."
"Of course, Calvin understood. He thought for a moment and said, ""You''re right. We''ve rescued Kate.
We achieved our goal. What''s more, Harvey Manor is in danger now. We have to rush back
immediately. How about this? Let''s retreat first."""
"After saying this, he walked outside."
"Kate, who was in the police car, had gradually fallen into aa with her lips turning white."
"Belle hugged her tightly and kept shouting, ""Mom, wake up."""
"Quickly go to the hospital, Calvin instructed when he saw the situation."
The police car drove towards the closest hospital.
