Chapter 683
The few people Chris left behind were caught off guard and were knocked out in an instant.
"Who are these people?" Henry Jefferson asked, surprised at the sudden appearance of the men in
black.
Wendy Jefferson proudly said, "These are the experts I brought back from overseas. With their help,
Chris will undoubtedly die!"
"Enough, let's not waste time. We need to leave quickly! If Chris comes back, we'll be in trouble!"
Hearing this, Henry Jefferson took one last look at Patrick Jefferson's body. He then ignited a fire, and
in an instant, the flames roared.
Taking a last glance at the burnt figure of Patrick Jefferson, Henry shouted, "Let's go!" Gritting his teeth,
he disappeared into the flames with Wendy Jefferson.
...
"Master, look!" Tiger, who had just stepped out of the sanatorium's gate, suddenly shouted. The villa
where Henry Jefferson was staying was engulfed in flames!
"Not good, let's hurry back!" Chris's face turned pale, and he quickly turned back towards Henry
Jefferson's villa.
At that time, Michael Collins, lying in a chair, muttered to himself, "Huh? Did that old fellow Henry
Jefferson commit suicide?"
"No way! No way! I know that old fox too well. How could he just die so easily?" Michael Collins didn't
believe that Henry Jefferson had simply died like that.
"Hehe! Interesting, very interesting! It seems there's going to be a good show to watch from now on!"novelbin
Suddenly, Michael Collins burst into laughter, his face showing a hint of schadenfreude.
Meanwhile, Chris stood in front of Henry Jefferson's villa with a dark expression. "What happened?"
Tiger yelled angrily at the guards.
The guards, looking wronged, said, "Sir, we don't know! We were just on duty when we were suddenly
knocked out..."
"A bunch of useless people!" Tiger cursed. The guards hung their heads and didn't dare to speak.
"Enough!" Chris stopped Tiger. "Now, our priority is to put out the fire! Remember, we need to find the
old man!"
Chris didn't believe that Henry Jefferson had suddenly committed suicide. There must be something
wrong.
"Yes!" Tiger ordered the guards, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and put out the fire!"
The guards didn't dare to delay and immediately rushed to extinguish the fire. Chris watched the flames
with a bitter smile. If Henry Jefferson was indeed burned to death, he didn't know how to explain it to
John Jefferson and Esther.
With that thought, Chris took out his phone and called John Jefferson and Esther. Regardless, he had
to inform John Jefferson's family about the incident.
"What? Grandfather's villa is on fire? Alright, I got it. I'll be right there! Chris, no matter what, you have
to do your best to save my dad!" After receiving Chris's call, both John Jefferson and Esther were
dumbfounded. They couldn't understand why Henry Jefferson's villa had suddenly caught fire.
Had their father committed suicide? If so, why? Could it be that Chris pushed him too hard? Thinking
about it, a different emotion started to surface in their hearts.
Ten minutes later, John Jefferson and Esther arrived by car. "Chris, how is it? Where's my dad?" John
Jefferson asked anxiously, as he hurried over.
Chris, with a remorseful face, said, "Dad, I'm sorry! I don't know how Grandfather is right now." Hearing
this, John Jefferson's vision went dark, and he almost fainted.
Looking at the raging fire, he thought, is his father... dead? John Jefferson staggered back, filled with
grief and heartache. Although he had not been highly regarded by Henry Jefferson since he was a
child, this was still his father!
With Henry Jefferson dead, John Jefferson felt lost. "Honey, I'm sorry!" Chris said to Esther Jefferson,
not knowing what else to say.
"Dear, don't apologize. You didn't start this fire!" Esther comforted him. Although Henry Jefferson was
her grandfather, their relationship was not deep. When she heard about his death, she felt sad but not
as intensely as John Jefferson.
At that moment, Tiger approached them and said, "Master, the fire has been put out. But... we didn't
find the old man's body!"
