Chapter 248

As one of the most upscale residential complexes in the city, Crestview Bay was equipped with top-tier safety systems.

Within 20 minutes, the fire alarm was silenced. However, for safety reasons, the management personnel asked all residents to evacuate while they investigated the cause of the fire and assessed the damage.

"How does a fire even start in a place like this?"

"Get changed first. We'll find out downstairs."

He instructed the staff to open the windows and clear out the smoke before leading Serena back inside to change into some dry clothes.
