Chapter 221 Fire

“Ladies and gentlemen, your fruit platter is here.”

A waitress briskly walked up to them and placed the fruit platter on the table, Unnoticed by

everyone,

the waitress locked the door to the private room as she left.

Outside the door, Wendy pulled out the key, her eyes darkening.

“Grace, since you won’t let me live well, then let’s all die together,” she thought.

Somehow, she got hold of gasoline. She aimed it directly at the door of the private room and poured it

fiercely, not sparing the corridor either.

After that, she took out a lighter, lit it, and threw it at the gasoline without hesitation.

In an instant, flames surged and spread rapidly.

Wendy laughed loudly and thought, “Grace, you’re going to die today!”

“Ah! Fire! Fire!” A staff member in the corridor was the first to notice the fire and

immediately triggered the fire alarm system.

Instantaneously, the corridor was filled with screams and cries for help. “Help! This place is on fire!

Everyone, run!”

Inside the private room, Xander was the first to react. “Oh no! There’s fire.” After speaking, he

instinctively grabbed Grace and walked toward the door.

Panicked, everyone in the room stood up and headed toward the door.

“What’s going on? Why won’t the door open?”

As Xander spoke, Caleb hurried forward to try opening the door, but it wouldn’t budge.

“What’s going on?”

At this moment, smoke was gradually entering the room. “Quick, cover your mouth and nose with

towels.”

Everyone was in a state of panic. The private room only had one exit. Since the door was locked, they

were trapped inside.

“Quick, make a call.”

Emily took out her phone, and dialed the fire emergency number.

Meanwhile, Grace also called Luke. “There’s a fire here. Arrange for rescue immediately.”

Hearing this, Luke couldn’t sit still. He quickly arranged for people to go and put the fire out.

Emily assured, “Don’t worry. I’m telling the truth.”

In the second round, Emily spun the bottle, and it happened to point at Xander.

This time, cheers erupted from Zoey and Emily. “Wow, wow, wow! Xander, speak up. Truth or dare?”

Xander smiled, and his gaze shifted toward Grace. Finally, under everyone’s expectations, he made his

decision. “Dare.”



Understanding his intentions, Zoey and Emily said in unison, “In that case, drink a love shot with

Gracie.”

Just then, Caleb spoke up. “No! Xander is the one playing the game. What does it have to do with

Gracie?”

Instantly, Lydia kicked him, and the puzzled Caleb glanced at her. Yet she pretended not to notice and

joined in the cheering. “I think that’s a great idea. Love shot!”

“Wait, Gracie.” Caleb wasn’t stupid. His eyes shifted between Xander and Grace, and he roughly

understood the situation. Those two seemed to have something going on between them.

Grace didn’t mind. She took the glass and called out, “Xander.”

The two interlocked their arms, and with everyone cheering them on, they drank it all in one

1. go.

“Wow! Not bad, not bad. You two are simply made for each other!” Emily exclaimed, and the

atmosphere suddenly reached a climax.

Meanwhile, Grace felt awkward. As she looked at Xander, she felt her face burn. Her heart was still

pounding wildly even after she put her glass down.

The game continued.

“Your turn, Xander. Spin the bottle.”

Just then, the door to the private room swung open.

In the room, Caleb and Xander exchanged glances. After that, they used their feet to kick the door, but

the door remained closed.

The smoke in the room was getting thicker.

Everyone coughed violently.

“What do we do? We can’t get out.”

Emily was anxious. The smoke stung her eyes, and she couldn’t catch her breath.

“Don’t worry. We’ll get out. We’ll definitely get out.” Grace comforted her.

Xander and Caleb kept kicking the door.

The next moment, the door was kicked open with a loud bang.

But the raging fire instantly spread in, causing Xander and Caleb both to step back.

“The fire’s coming in. Move back quickly.”

At this moment, the fire had already engulfed the entrance, and no one dared to approach.

Zoey couldn’t hold it in any longer. With a trembling voice, she asked, “Are we going to die here today?”

“No, we won’t die.”



“That’s right. We won’t die.” Grace reassured them. After looking around the private room, she picked

up a cushion from the couch. “Quick, wet these cushions.”

Everyone followed suit.

However, the smoke in the room grew thicker, and the flames approached them.

Lydia couldn’t bear it any longer and threw herself into Caleb’s arms. “Caleb, since we might die today,

it would be too late if I didn’t tell-”
