Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 216: The live-streamed hostage situation sent shockwaves through the city.

As soon as Kellan and Floyd were made aware, they rushed to the scene.

Kellan stood outside the barricaded building, his gaze dark and stormy.

Whats the situation inside? he asked.

Sherman, looking tense, responded swiftly, The police have secured the area, but Devins highly agitated.

The snipers are in position, but theyre holding back for now.

Any sudden move could endanger the hostages.

A few moments later, Colton arrived, pushing through the crowd in a panic.

His eyes darted to the police officers, his face etched with desperation.

I dont care what it takes money, anything.

Just save them! he pleaded.

The officers expression was grave.

The spectacle had already become the citys focal point.

Everyone, please move further back! The police shouted as they worked to secure the area and evacuate the premises.
