After a brief silence, Leroy finally steeled himself.
“Alright. I’ll do as you say.”
Sigwald smiled viciously and said, “Leroy, you better hurry up. It won’t be easy to find another good opportunity like this next time.”
“Got it.”
Once he ended the call, Sigwald put down the phone with a ruthless expression.
If Silvia had not messed with his personal gain, he would not have resorted to this to get rid of her. It was her fault for meddling too much!
At 3 p.m., Joe rushed into Silvia’s office in a panic.
“Miss Pond, there’s a crazy person downstairs with a bomb, and he wants to see you!”
She immediately stood up. As she headed out, she asked, “What happened? Have you identified the person?”
“Not yet. Miss Pond, it’s dangerous for you to go down right now. I’ve called the police, so let’s wait until they arrive.”
Silvia frowned. “No, it’ll be too late by the time the police get here. How’s the receptionist?”
“He’s taken the receptionist hostage…”
Anger flashed in her eyes, and she reprimanded him, “Why didn’t you inform me sooner?!”
“I didn’t have the chance…”
“Alright. I’ll go down and take a look. Just wait here.”
“I’ll go down with you.”
She did not say anything else. They took the elevator to the first floor, and Silvia was surprised to see Dulcie.
“What are you doing here? It’s dangerous! You should go upstairs!”
He tried calling her, but she declined the call after a few rings. His hands trembled as he held his phone, and he quickly sent her a few messages.
[Silvia, don’t volunteer as a hostage!]
[The bomb on that person is real! You’ll die!]
[Reply!]
Despite sending more than a dozen messages, Neil did not receive any reply. Meanwhile, Leroy had agreed to let Silvia replace the receptionist.
“I’m warning you. Don’t pull any tricks, or else, I’ll set off the bomb!”
Silvia had dealt with bombs before, so she could tell that the one on Leroy was real. If he set it off, everyone on the first floor would die in seconds.
“Don’t worry. I’m just a woman. What tricks could I possibly pull?”
