Chapter 974 Haddock Group Burns Down
Meanwhile, Dixon was standing at a safe distance and staring at the office building as it got engulfed in flames and smoke.
So, this is the end for Hoddock Group, huh?
The wind was very strong that night, which helped the flames consume the building even faster.
The firefighters gave their best efforts, but they were still unable to put out the fire.
Dixon had a vicious look on his face as he glared at the flames from afar. “F*ck! Get a move on, you guys! I’ll pay you all twice your annual bonus, so hurry up and put that fire out!”
“But we’re not professional firefighters, Mr. Haddock! We can’t even get in there! Besides, the firefighters would never let us near the building anyway!” said one of the executives.
“Shut up! I know you guys are simply refusing to help me!” Dixon snapped back at him angrily.
Sienna came rushing over as soon as she received word about the fire.
She was in such a hurry that she didn’t even have time to change out of her silk nightgown and Gucci slippers.
The fair skin on her slender legs was exposed as she got out of the taxi and ran toward Dixon.
“Dixon! Dixon! How did this fire break out?” she shouted with her face all red and the huge fire reflected in her eyes.
“I don’t know. They’re still investigating the cause,” Dixon replied. His eyes grew cold when he noticed she only had on a nightgown and slippers. He took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders. “It’s
cold at night, Aunt Sienna. You should make sure to stay warm no matter how urgent the situation.”
Sienna felt a warm sensation surround her body as Dixon wrapped the coat around her.
She opened her mouth to say something but held her tongue at the very last second.
The executives and managers of Haddock Group anxiously wiped the sweat off their foreheads as they watched from the side.
Mr. Hoddock sure is scary when he’s mad! Thank goodness Ms. Oates is here to calm him down!
“This sure is a huge fire! What will we do for work tomorrow? Do we look for a new building? Or do we rent one temporarily?” Sienna asked worriedly while staring at the burning building that was on the verge of collapsing.
Dixon maintained that icy-cold look in his eyes as he replied, “We’ll rest for a week and start looking for a new place to set up our office”
This is definitely an act of arson! I bet it was Lucas andAshlyn who did it! Imperial Hotel went down in flames a while back, and now, it’s my office building’s turn. Hah… Do they really think they can take me down simply by destroying Haddock Group? If so, then they really have underestimated me!
The fire at Haddock Group continued burning until the next morning.
Dixon and the group of executives waited until sunrise before the flames were brought under control.
The remaining employees of Haddock Group were to stay home and stand by for further instructions.
James and Joseph rushed to the scene early in the morning.
“I’m sorry to hear about your loss. You can always build new offices, so please do take care,” James said indifferently, which made him sound completely different from the Imperial Hotel fire.
James had been standing outside Imperial Hotel when it caught fire the other day.
Dixon’s lips curled into a smile when he thought about the evidence he had obtained on James.
Fine, you con continue this smug oct of yours for a while. When it’s time for your commendation, I will be sure to congratulate you nicely!
Of course, James was completely oblivious to the impending crisis.
He didn’t like Dixon, but he wasn’t going to just ignore him completely either.
As a representative of the city council, James checked in on Dixon and bought all the firefighters breakfast and drinks.
Ashlyn and Lucas arrived at the scene after everything was over.
“Don’t be too upset, Mr. Haddock. My Imperial Hotel and your Haddock Group now share the same fate. I wonder why these two fires happened one after another. Really strange, isn’t it?” Ashlyn said nonchalantly while staring at Dixon.
