Chapter 825

At that moment, blood had painted Ashlyn's back bright red, making for a ghastly sight.

There was so much blood that it dripped down her clothes.

Her heart was seemingly encased in a bottomless abyss of ice, making her so cold that she shivered. With red-

rimmed eyes, she murmured in a hoarse voice, “You know what, Howard? I've always regarded you as my brother.

I never expected my brother to die in the end in a bid to save me.”

Then, she turned to Lucas. “He was the traitor, Lucas. He was the mole in Imperial Hotel.”

Ashlyn looked at the handsome man before her aggrievedly.

Snapping, she threw herself into Lucas' warm embrace.

“He has paid the corresponding price. You and Imperial Hotel both mattered to him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have

carried so many employees to the safety passage.”

Lucas patted her on the back gently, comforting her.

Rumble!

Out of the blue, a deafening rumble sounded from the roof above them.

Lucas lifted his eyes and glanced at the roof that was seconds from collapsing. “We need to leave immediately.”

A loud bang rang out as a piece of charred shingle grazed past Lucas' shoulder and smashed onto the ground hard.

Hugging Ashlyn, he spun around and ducked.

Alas, that gigantic piece of shingle separated Howard from them.

“Howard!” Ashlyn cried out.

She wanted to sprint over and take Howard's body away.

Unfortunately, the entire building shook, on the verge of collapse.

Yanking her back, Lucas scooped her up. “Let's go! We must leave right now!”

“Bring him along, Lucas! Bring him with us!” Ashlyn gazed at him pleadingly. Clenching his jaw, Lucas was just about

to leap over when a huge piece of crumbling wall fell from above.

It blocked his path off completely.

Just then, Luigi started urging from the rescue helicopter outside the window, “Come on, Boss!”

“Come on! You'll die otherwise!”

Ashlyn stared at Howard's cold body with red-rimmed eyes.

She closed her eyes, her heart clenching painfully.

“Let's go!” Scooping her up, Lucas whirled around and left.

The very second he did so, the entire building behind him crashed to the ground, turning into a pile of rubble. A

great cloud of dust flew into the air, the sight horrifying.

“What's the point of bringing his body out when he's already dead?” Ashlyn sat in the helicopter, gazing out at the

blue sky blankly.

The sun at dawn was vivid and vibrant.

It seemingly wiped off everything that transpired in the dark.

Some people had to rest in peace forever, while others still had to forge ahead.

She stared at the wreckage that was Imperial Hotel from afar.

I believe that righteousness will defeat evil one day!

The matter about Imperial Hotel caused a great stir both within and outside of the country.

After all, a majestic building collapsed overnight.

What was more, Imperial Hotel was a landmark of Lake City.

Many influencers went there, as did some tourists who went there for vacation.

On the third day after the fire at Imperial Hotel, Imperial Hotel issued a statement.

It read: Imperial Hotel will be rebuilt, and we will return stronger. Imperial Hotel suffered massive losses in the fire

this time, but it doesn't mean that we're going to withdraw from Lake City henceforth. Our queen, Ms. Berry, will

continue to lead us as we ride above the storm. Do look forward to the return of Imperial Hotel!

It was a brief and simple statement, but it caused an uproar.

Someone posted: Oh my God, what did I just see? Our queen, Ms. Berry? Are they referring to my idol, Ashlyn?

The response read: It must be Ashlyn! I heard that someone caught sight of her during the rescue yesterday.

Another person added: At that time, Lucas was even personally piloting a plane at a low altitude to rescue the

survivors! How cool!

Then, someone else countered: Imperial Hotel didn't tag Ashlyn. So, it's probably not referring to her. Could it be

some other Ms. Berry?

To that, someone answered: If I remember correctly... the granddaughter of the Count's family, Penelope, is also

Ms. Berry.

Another person echoed: Yes, exactly! Could it be some other Ms. Berry? There are many people in this world with

the family name Berry. It's definitely not Ashlyn.
