Game Over No Second Chances

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.

Serena clutched Snuggy as Hugh guided her out of the bathroom. For a moment, everything still felt surreal.

The hallway was still thick with smoke, making her cough.

"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.

Once she was ready, she called a nearby pet shop to arrange a check-up and grooming for Snuggy. With the cat taken care of, she and Hugh headed downstairs.

A crowd had already gathered in the lobby. All of the residents were well-off, and none of them looked pleased.
