CHAPTER 342 BAD NEWS

As Leo walked into the President’s office, it was right about the time when Lydia closed her laptop after

tying up the loose end of her work.

Together with Emilia and Marie, they headed to Gary’s house.

Soon, they arrived. Lydia walked over to knock on the door with gifts held in her hand,

“Gary, it’s me, Leo.” Leo greeted with a smile.

“Coming.” A voice of an old man sounded inside the house.

Then Gary showed up with a smile as the door was opened, “Welcome, Leo.”

Leo then introduced the others standing behind him to Gary.

“Gary, she’s my wife, Lydia. And I am sure you have seen Marie, right? And this one is my daughter,

Emilia Cohen.”

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Harris.” Emilia greeted decently.

Gary replied with a bright smile, “Hello, Emilia. Leo, your wife is such an expert of educating child.”

Leo responded with a smile.

“Oh, where is Lizzie?” Leo didn’t see her as they entered the house.

Marie also looked around at the same time as she was gonna head to Hopkins together with Lizzie for

work.

Gary smiled to answer, “She has gone to Hopkins with Alan to spend her holidays. So tonight she

should be returning for dinner.”

“Alright…” Leo checked the time and noticed that it was about the time.

As he had expected, Alan got to know Lizzie before the holidays. So he would definitely grab the

chance to spend some time with her.

“Please take a seat. The dinner will be ready soon.” Then Gary walked into the kitchen.

“Let me assist, may I?” Lydia also walked into the kitchen. Before Gary could suggest her to get back to

seat, she had walked out with the dishes.

But they didn’t start the meal as they wanna wait for Lizzie’s arrival.

Hours had passed, but Lizzie still hadn’t returned. Nor had she made a call.

“What took her so long? Is there anything wrong?” Marie said worriedly while looking at the darkness

outside. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“Hey, stop your guess.”

Lydia huffed to stop her. Then she chilled herself a bit and started to talk to Gary.

Though Leo remained unspoken, he started to grow some worry as well with his eyes fixed on the

dishes cooling down.

“Let me heat up the dishes.” While speaking, Gary stood up with a smile. But suddenly, Leo’s phone

rang loud.

He frowned as he noticed that it was a call from Alan.

He swiped to answer. Before he asked why they still hadn’t returned, a sharp crying of helplessness

sounded from the other side.

“Leo, where are you now? Alan…Alan got hit by car when he tried to save me!”

“What?”

Leo could tell it was Lizzie’s voice. His face turned to be gloomy and he jumped up immediately.

“Where are you?” he asked solemnly.

As Lizzie told the address, he hurried to say, “We will be right there!”

“What? What’s going on?”

As Leo hung up the phone, Lydia asked worriedly.

With great agitation, Gary also stared at him to ask, “Is it about Lizzie?”

Leo shook his head to answer with gloom, “Don’t worry. She’s fine. But Alan got hit in a car accident.”

“A car accident?”

Hearing that, the rest of them were all rendered nervous.

“Gary, don’t worry. It will be fine.” Leo said to comfort. Then he looked at Lydia, “Just bring Marie and

Emilia home. I am going to Hopkins right now.”

Lydia nodded but Marie shook her head with tearful eyes, “No, Lizzie is my friend. I gotta do something

for her.”

After a short silence, Leo still agreed, “Alright, you can go with me.”

Then he made two calls—for Nadine and Lukas respectively.

“I need you to go to Hopkins with me.”

“Find out the cause of Alan’s accident! And report to me ASAP!”

Leo spoke with strong voice.

Driven by the worry that Leo might have confided less in herself, Nadine soon arrived after getting the

call.

As for Lukas, he was irritated as soon as he got the notice that his most trusted follower got hit in an

accident. So he started the investigation immediately.

Forty minutes later, Leo reached the spot.

The irritation covering his face escalated even more as soon as he saw the situation after getting off

from the car.

There was a Benz limousine tossed upside down, near which glass splinter scattered all over the

ground while mixed with leaking gas.

Alan, with his body bathed in blood, lay down aside. Lizzie kneeled next to him, crying helplessly.

“Lizzie!” Marie exclaimed as she got off the car.

Lizzie raised her head and hurried to beckon them over, “Here!”

When Leo was about to speak, he suddenly noticed that the gas was still leaking. His expression

turned to be horrified. He shouted, “Get out now!”

Still confused, Lizzie turned her head back.

The gas still dripped down drop after drop while the engine was still running and emitting heat.

The next second, the car suddenly exploded.

Strong heat rushed upward in the air and the explosion sounded loud like a thunder, which lifted the car

dozens of meters high.

The fire went down the leaking gas and raided straight toward Lizzie, in the eyes of whom there filled

with the threat of death.

The explosion was happening too soon to be avoided. She could do nothing but to watch.

“Lizzie!” Marie screamed out of horror.

Within a blink, two shadows flashed forward—both Alan, the unconscious, and Lizzie were rescued.

Lizzie raised her head the next second. A clear-cut face was the first thing appeared in her eyes. She

felt like being frozen at this moment.

Bang! The car dropped back to the ground and turned into ashes. A mini mushroom-shaped smoke of

explosion flew up in the night sky.

After a few buffer roll on the ground, Leo then stood up again with Lizzie held tight into his arms. Then

he said gently, “It’s okay. You’re safe now.”

After getting through the edge of death, Lizzie soon came into a breakdown as soon as his deep voice

sounded. She threw herself into his arms, crying loud.

Meanwhile, Nadine carefully put Alan down on the ground. She took a look at Leo. Seeing that he

nodded, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Staring at the fire running out of control, Leo turned into an overcast face, “Get him to the hospital,

now!”

Then the ambulance arrived. When Alan was taken in, Leo and the others all headed to the hospital.

But the doctor told them that Alan was hit so badly that he lost too much blood, which entailed an

urgent surgery.

Hearing that, Leo felt like being stuffed with strong urge of revenge.

Marie stayed with Lizzie to comfort her. Meanwhile, Nadine kept herself silent as soon as she noticed

Leo’s anger was running wild.

At this moment, his phone rang. Lukas hurried to report to him about what he found out.

“Boss, we got the culprit. It was the Watts”
