Chapter 825

At that moment, blood had painted Ashlyn's back bright red, making for a ghastly sight.

There was so much blood that it dripped down her clothes.

Her heart was seemingly encased in a bottomless abyss of ice, making her so cold that she shivered. With red-rimmed eyes, she murmured in a hoarse voice, “You know what, Howard? I've always regarded you as my brother. I never expected my brother to die in the end in a bid to save me.”

Then, she turned to Lucas. “He was the traitor, Lucas. He was the mole in Imperial Hotel.”

Ashlyn looked at the handsome man before her aggrievedly.

Snapping, she threw herself into Lucas' warm embrace.

“He has paid the corresponding price. You and Imperial Hotel both mattered to him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have carried so many employees to the safety passage.”

Lucas patted her on the back gently, comforting her.
