My Second Husband novel Chapter 765

Mark fell onto the ground. His cell phone rang again, showing the same caller number as before.

With trembling fingers, he tried to press the reject button but accidentally answered it instead.

A vicious voice sounded from the other end of the phone.

He said, "Mark, how dare you try to bluff me? I won't let you get away with this!"

He quickly threw away his phone and turned to run outside. Eudora came after him, saying, "Stop! Where's Amos? Keep your promise. We won, so return Amos to me!"

Mark glared coldly at her and said, "Amos? Sure! I'll return him to you."

He turned to look at the assistant right behind him, asking, "Tell us, where is Amos?"

Joe quickly replied, "He is in the basement of the Valiant East Group..."

Clint was startled. He asked, "How could that be? Since when did someone enter the basement?"

Joe showed him footage from the surveillance camera. Mark explained, "Don't you understand? We slipped him in when none of you were paying attention. The most dangerous place is the safest of all..."

Then, Mark suddenly chuckled.

He continued, "But, let me tell you. There's a bomb in there exploding in 15 minutes. Boom!"

As soon as he finished, he turned and ran outside.

Harley quickly went after him. Out of nowhere, Mark pulled out a gun and aimed a shot at Harley's shoulder.

Harley grunted in pain but continued rushing forward and held Mark down.

Once Eudora got into her car, she sped towards her company like a lunatic.

In the meantime, Clint was also frantically making a phone call back to the company.

He did not dare to tell them that a bomb was in the basement. Otherwise, no one would hurry to Amos' rescue. His only instruction was for the supervisor to arrange for everyone to take a break and clear out the building within half an hour.

He also asked the supervisor to check and see if anyone was in the basement,

However, the supervisor quickly replied that there was not anyone in there.

More than ten minutes had already passed, so Clint did not dare to ask for another search attempt and told the supervisor to leave the building immediately.

Hearing this, Eudora sped up the car even more.

Soon, the traffic police were after her, yelling for her to stop the car.

However, she couldn't care less. The only thought occupying her mind right now was to save Amos.

After another ten minutes, the car finally halted in front of the Valiant East Group's entrance.

At the same time, the bomb disposal experts, arranged by Harley, also arrived. They were only waiting to defuse the bomb after it was found.

However, where was the bomb?

Everyone rushed towards the basement. Suddenly, Eudora stopped in her tracks.

Clint hurriedly asked, "Madam, did you think of something?"

Eudora nodded.

She mumbled, "Remember what Mark said?

The most dangerous place is the safest of all!" "Of course, I remember! That's why he locked up President Granger in the basement," he replied.

"No!" Eudora shook her head and continued, "He said that there was half an hour before the bomb blows up, but at that time our company was still full of people. Usually, there are a lot of people going in and out of the underground parking lot. If Amos really was in the basement, we definitely would've been able to resolve this crisis within half an hour, and Mark's plan would have been completely in vain! He had been plotting this for so long. Surely, he wouldn't be so stupid!"

"So...you mean to say that President Granger is definitely not in the basement?" asked Clint.

Eudora nodded and said, "Perhaps we should think in the opposite direction."

As soon as she had finished her sentence, something clicked in Clint's mind. They shared a glance and exclaimed together, "The top floor!"
