Chapter 1799
Aside from the music box, there was no card, so Magdalen had no idea who'd sent it.
Curious, Magdalen cradled the little object in her hands, wondering who would gift her such thing?
Those who knew her were aware that she didn't have an artistic side in her.
The moment she picked up the music box, it sprung to life, playing a short piano tune. The display
showed that the melody lasted only ten seconds.
A ten-second countdown accompanied each note, each second marked by a soft ‘ding’.novelbin
Estelle watched the music box intently until the tune had passed its halfway point. Suddenly, her
expression changed dramatically as she lunged towards Magdalen.
Everyone else seemed to catch on, their faces paling in terror as they backed away.
Even Kevin widened his eyes, instinctively retreating by a couple of steps.
Magdalen was taken aback by everyone's reaction. Suddenly, Estelle dashed forward and snatched the
music box from her hands.
With swift and agile movements, Estelle ran a few steps, forcefully throwing the music box towards a
large window. She then tackled Magdalen to the ground, yelling, "Get down!"
With a deafening ‘boom’, the music box exploded upon contact with the glass, the entire building
trembling in the aftermath. The shattered glass sparkled like fireworks, the room filled with dust and
smoke. Two dressers near the window were blown back, crashing into the wall.
It wasn't until a while later that the room quieted down. People from the lower floors rushed up, their
eyes widening in shock at the sight of the destruction. They hurried to hetp the injured.
“Ella!"
Magdalen's voice trembled as she looked at Estelle, "Are you okay?"
Estelle, numb from the shock, slowly stood up, helping Magdalen to her feet, "I'm fine. Check on the
others, are they hurt?"
“Magdalen!” Kevin rushed over, panic in his voice, “Magdalen, are you okay?"
Magdalen didn't pay him any attention, her eyes only for Estelle. Seeing the bloody cuts on Estelle’s
back from the glass shards, she felt tears prick her eyes and yelled to the others, "Does anyone have a
first aid kit? Bring it here!"
Estelle grabbed her hand, trying to reassure her, "Don't panic. It's just a small injury. I'm fine!"
Magdalen hugged her tightly, her heart still pounding, “Ella!"
The room was in chaos from the explosion. A couple of people had been injured by the glass shards,
but thankfully none too severely. The wedding dress, encased in a protective cover, was also
unharmed.
But everyone was shaken up, their faces pale, their legs barely able to support them.
After all, who expected to experience something like this on a normal day?
Someone had called the police, and while a few stayed behind to clean up the mess; the rest went
upstairs to rest.
After dressing her wounds, Estelle changed her clothes and went out, seeing Magdalen on the phone,
who was presumably trying to track down the sender of the music box.
Awhile later, Magdalen hung up the phone and returned, her brows furrowing as she checked on
Estelle's injuries, her eyes red.
"It’s nothing serious!” Estelle set down her clothes, asking, "Any leads?"
Magdalen shook her head, "They said the package was sent from abroad, but how did it pass through
customs with explosives inside?"
Estelle's expression grew cold, “There's a type of explosive that's liquid. It solidifies after forty-eight
hours and can then be detonated. It's probably that“
Magdalen felt a chill run down her spine, "Who wants me dead?"
Estelle asked, "Should we tell Morrison?"
After a moment's thought, Magdalen responded, "I'll look into it myself for now. If he finds out, he'll
probably keep me locked up until the wedding. I'll be extra cautious these next few days.
Estelle nodded, "Your company's hostesses are reliable. Have them stay with you during this time"
As the two spoke, Kevin was helping bandage people's wounds. Hearing Magdalen's words, a
thoughtful look crossed his face.
