Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 1628

Chapter 1628

John sensed something disastrous had happened, so he quickly pulled the phone out of his pocket

His phone just happened to ring as soon as he pulled it out. It was a call from his bodyguards entrusted to keep an eye on Sherry

The tips of his finger trembled as he answered the call

The bodyguard’s voice sounded incredibly anxious, and John already knew what this was going to be about “Master Stockton, this isn’t good! There’s a forest fire! It spread way too fast for us to react. The entire house is burning now!

John asked frantically, “Where is Sherry? Tell me where she is right now!”

The bodyguard’s voice was quivering, “Ms. Fowler is inside the house, but the fire is too big The entire forest is burning by this point. We can’t get in there to save her!”

“What do you mean you can’t get inside?! Can’t you run in through the garden?!”

“We tried to rescue her, but the water source is cut off and the area around the water tank is burning, so

we can’t fix the water pipe connection. Without water, there’s no way we can get inside! The living room is burning. We can’t charge inside even if we wanted to!” The bodyguard cried out with desperation in his voice, “Master Stockton, we tried everything we could. One of our men tried to go inside and ended up burning his arm. We would’ve all burned to death if we didn’t manage to get into the car and drive out of

the area in time.”

John snapped.

It was as if his soul had been pulled out of his body, and he stood still like a totem for a while.

He quickly pulled himself out of this state and roared from the depths of his being. He was going to lose his mind. “Call the police right now! Call the fire department! Get her out of there no matter what!”

The bodyguard responded immediately, “We already called the police, and the fire department should be here soon.”

John hung up. He looked at Julie with murder in his eyes.

Julie trembled all over and whimpered with fright. Her eyes were drenched in tears, she looked weak and

vulnerable.

No words could describe the demonic look on John’s face.

Madam Stockton, Queenie, and Emerence were huddled tightly together as well and did not dare utter a

word. Mia did not budge from her spot the entire time.

Terrible licks of flames had completely devoured the house.

If Carl had arrived several minutes late, she would have been reduced to ashes.

She suddenly recalled how John had the bodyguards cut off the water source from the house The irony of the situation stung like a needle, and she could not help but chuckle bitterly.

Carl asked in a confused voice, “Sherry, what are you laughing about?”

Sherry shook her head and brushed him off. “Nothing.

She had assumed that the man had only wanted to let her continuously suffer inside the house without end. Never in her wildest imagination would she have foreseen him wanting to have her burned to death.

How very heartless.

This opened her eyes for good. She told herself that she would never be foolish enough to think John still had a trace of affection for her.

Carl glanced at her face through the rearview mirror and took a deep, tired breath. The car picked up speed again.

The two did not speak and let the silence hover in the car like a thick mist.
