The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 144 Chemical Warehouse Explosion

A bunch of people piled into the car in a hurry. As they sped off, Cleo noticed the driver.

"Ms. Harvey, I think these folks are from the Simmons family. I recognize the driver; he's one of Cameron's bodyguards!" a bodyguard said.

Cleo hesitated for a second, then quickly grabbed her phone and dialed a number. As soon as the call connected, she said urgently, "Carl, when's your team getting here? The Simmons family is about to have a showdown, and Allison is still inside!"

Carl's helicopter was still ten minutes away. He was anxious, but before he could respond, a loud explosion echoed through the phone.

"Cleo, what happened? Answer me!" Carl asked, panicked.

"Carl, the warehouse exploded!" Cleo replied.

"Ms. Harvey, we need to leave now. The warehouse is full of chemical waste!" a bodyguard said urgently.

Amidst the chaos, Carl got no response and quickly called Alexander. "Where are you? Allison is in trouble, do you know that?"

At that moment, Alexander's car was already near the chemical warehouse. The sudden explosion nearly flipped the car. As he got out and saw the warehouse engulfed in flames, his heart sank, and he fell to his knees. "Allison!" he shouted.

When Carl arrived, he could see the rising smoke from the helicopter and was nearly in despair.

"Send people to search immediately!" Carl ordered.

The explosion of chemical waste was no joke. Everyone within a ten-mile radius was evacuated. The pungent smell reached Skycrest, causing schools to close, people to wear masks, and even shopping malls to shut down. When Griffin arrived at the hospital, Alexander was still on oxygen, with a doctor bandaging his wounds.
