My Dreamy Old Husband

Chapter 310

Fire?

While Joe was happily waiting for his son-in-law to visit, he suddenly saw billows of smoke rising from the second floor. Then, Faye and Xyla ran outside anxiously from Faye’s room.

“Dad, the second floor is on fire!”

Joe glanced at the second floor. A trail of fire traveled down the staircase.

There was a lot of solid wood furniture at the Edwards’ ancestral home, which had been around for around 30 years already. On top of that, the hot and humid weather quickened the spread of the fire. In no time, the fire had spread to the first floor down the staircase. Joe was so shocked that he jumped out of the couch. “Let’s go! Let’s go now!”

Since most of their belongings were already moved out, there were only a few old magazines and furniture left—nothing to be missed.

In no time, Joe, Faye, Xyla, and their servants had all run out of the mansion. They stood in the garden, looking helplessly at the smoke coming out of the room.

Suddenly, Joe slapped his thighs. “Oh, God. My youngest daughter is still inside!”

They had locked Sophia and her two bodyguards in the room on the third floor! The door and windows were both tightly shut. How would they be able to escape?

When everyone ran out of the mansion that was on fire just now, they had completely forgotten about the three people in the room.

 

Everyone raised their head subconsciously to look at the third floor. Smoke had started escaping from the locked window.

“Save them!” Joe quickly pushed people to save the fire.

 

She’s my cash cow!

If my son-in-law arrives and sees a burnt corpse, there’d be nothing we could do anymore!

What if he flares up and vents his anger at me?

A few bodyguards quickly rushed to open the door. However, once they opened the door of the mansion, fire burst out from within with a whoosh. It burned the bodyguards until they retreated immediately.

“Mr. Edwards, the fire is too strong! We can’t enter!”
