Chapter 98 A Big Fire 

After Betty got out of Jeffrey‘s car and returned to her villa, she ate dinner as she usually did. Soon she went for a bath before going to bed. 

She felt strange and extremely sleepy that day and even when she was taking a bath, she felt dizzy. Almost as soon as her head touched the pillow, she fell asleep. No dream had interrupted her sleep. 

She didn‘t know how late it had been when she was awakened by a pungent smell of smoke. 

She coughed while she was sleeping, feeling stifled by the smoke. 

Then she struggled a little and woke up. Her eyelids were heavy and her eyes ached because of the smoke. 

There seemed to be something wrong. She got up quickly. But when she sat up, Betty 

found her body so weak that she had no strength at all. 

The woman wondered what went wrong with 

her. 

But she could not care so much at that 

moment. She turned on the light on the bedside table immediately. 

Then she saw the whole room submerged in the billowing black smoke. 

Was it on fire? 

Betty was so frightened. The pungent smoke made her cough worse. But she calmed down as soon as she could. Then she stumbled out of bed, dragging her tired body, grabbed her coat and rushed out of the room. 

But when she opened the door, she was completely dumbfounded. 

There was a spreading fire. 

Thanks to the door, the flames didn‘t burn 

its way into her room. But now that she was at the entrance, she saw the whole corridor was gobbed by the fire, the tongues of the flames greedily licking the pillars and walls. 

“Lillian! Robert!” At that moment, Betty was still worried about the two elderly people in the villa. But no one responded after she called several times. Then she was choked again by the smoke. 

She couldn‘t care too much at the moment. She had to get herself out of danger first. 

But it was impossible for her to escape such a big fire by rushing out directly. It was too late.
