Everyone instantly turned pale with fear.
Seeing that he had successfully scared them all, Leroy sneered. “Dulcie, transfer all your money to me. If you don’t, I’ll make sure everyone here dies with me!”
Before Dulcie could respond, Silvia interjected, “Do you realize that the bomb’s countdown can’t bo
stopped once it’s triggered?”
Unless the bomb was defused, it would explode the moment the countdown ended.
Considering Leroy’s current financial situation, he could not afford to purchase such a bomb. Besides, it would be difficult to obtain something like this without connections.
Leroy was fearless, and he coldly said, “If it can’t be stopped, we’ll all just die together!” Silvia frowned. His emotions did not match someone who was taking a desperate gamble. Before she could figure it out, she caught sight of a tall figure entering through the door. She was shocked to see Neil.
“Neil, Leroy has a bomb tied to his b*dy! Get out of here quickly!”
Leroy was also startled to see someone suddenly appear. He was even more surprised when he realized that it was Neil.
Before the Reed Family went bankrupt, he had collaborated with Remus Corporation, so he knew him.
“Mr. Remus, why are you here?”
Neil looked at him coldly and said, “You’ve taken my wife hostage. What else would bring me here?”
His words shocked everyone, excluding Dulcie.
Only the upper–class society knew about Neil and Silvia’s marriage. They never disclosed it to the public.
Silvia frowned. They were divorced, so why did Neil still call her his wife?
However, this was not the time to care about such things. She looked at him with furrowed brows and said, “The bomb tied to his b*dy is real! Hurry up and leave!”
Right then, Leroy’s legs became weak, and his hands trembled.
If he had known that Silvia was Neil’s wife, he would not have dared to kick up a fuss in MY Corporation.
At this point, he could only bite the bullet and face Neil.
“Mr. Remus, if Silvia hadn’t interfered with my family’s problems and asked Dulcie not to help me, I wouldn’t be making a fuss!”
Neil stared at him as if he was looking at a dead man. “You brought a bomb here, yet you’re telling me that you’re just ‘making a fuss?!“”
Chapter 270
“I’ll let Silvia go if Dulcie transfers all her money to me!”
Silvia fell silent for a moment and finally figured out what was off.
If Leroy had come to MY Corporation with the determination to die, he would not be seeking money from Dulcie.
“Leroy, do you think that the bomb tied to your b*dy is fake?”
He froze briefly and angrily said, “What nonsense are you talking about?! How could I bring a fake bomb to deceive everyone?!”
Silvia smiled and calmly said, “The bomb is real. I guess the person who put you up to this lied and told you that it was fake. He instructed you to bring this bomb to MY Corporation and pretend as if you were going to blow the company up so that Dulcie would give you money.‘
“That’s not true! Don’t try to scare me! He couldn’t have deceived me!”
Those were his words, but there was a hint of uncertainty in his tone.
“I called the police before I came down. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the bomb squad when they arrive. You’ll find out if I’ve lied to you.‘
Her words clearly frightened Leroy as he spaced out for a moment.
However, he soon regained his composure.
“No way! You’re lying!”
“Do I have any reason to lie? We’re in the same boat. Once the bomb goes off, we’ll all die.”
Leroy panicked. At this moment, he found the sound of the bomb’s countdown on his ch*st annoying.
Sigwald had told him that the bomb was fake, but what if it was real?
