Because of that, Jared believed that the person would speak.
And true enough, once he had arrived home, he received a text from Janus.
[He's spoken. It's the heiress of the Fisher Group, Fiorella Fisher.]
Jared's eyes lit up in a blaze thereafter. ‘Fiorella Fisher! I guess she hasn't learned her lesson after everything that had happened at the banquet. I can't believe the nerve she has in trying to hurt and kill Nicole! Well, there'll be consequences to her actions...’
After that, Jared dialed Max's number at once.
In their residence, the Fisher family was busy entertaining a few big families and the directors of some huge corporations that they had spent so much effort trying to establish a relationship with.
Fiorella was dressed in a revealing and enchanting outfit, and she was feeling very comfortable among the elites. It made her feel a lot better after she had been rejected and humiliated in front of everybody in the banquet, and now, she just somehow felt very good about herself. She had regained her confidence after socializing and exchanging toasts with those in the crowd.
A big fat man was talking shop with Fiorella when he grabbed her hand tipsily.
He then caressed her hand while ogling her. “It's a deal then, Miss Fisher. You'd better make sure nothing goes wrong."
"Rest assured, Mr. Gordon. I'll handle this personally. There’s nothing to be worried about...” Fiorella said, trying to hide how disgusted she was.
She was doing everything she could to appease these people, but deep down, she desperately wanted to push that man away. Colton was entertaining his guests in the crowd too. He felt very uncomfortable when he saw someone taking advantage of his daughter, and was about to walk over when he heard a loud blast from outside the house.
"Boom!"
Everybody was startled, and even the fat man who was caressing Fiorella's hand flinched, before he turned his gaze to the yard.
"W-What was that?!"
Fiorella was shocked too. They had security and bodyguards out there, and so, she could not figure out what that blast could possibly be.
And before she knew it, she saw a curtain of flames outside the window.
At the very next second, the guards outside shouted, "This is bad! There's a fire!"
"Put it out! Call 911 now!”
The shouts scared everyone in the mansion, and they all began panicking.
"There's a fire! Run!" A few of the rich women began scattering into different directions, and other big shots began to sober up too as they hurried outside in a desperate attempt to flee.
"Fiorella! Darling! Run!” Colton immediately rushed over to his daughter and wife.
Then, he grabbed their hands and began running out of the house.
He saw a huge flame burning as soon as he was outside. Apparently, somebody had doused his yard in gasoline, and the blaze was heading toward them. As it turned out, the explosion moments ago had
come from one of the cars outside.
"We're doomed! We can't get out of here! Turn around!" Hugo yelled as everybody backed up.
Fiorella got so scared, that she retreated too.
Everyone in the house was trapped. The only thing they could do was head inside and wait for the guards to put the fire out. Hugo looked at Colton and Fiorella angrily, "Mr. Fisher! What is the meaning of this? Are you trying to murder us all?!"
There were so many influential people in the house, and now, a fire had broken out. To make matters worse, all of them had nowhere else to go.
"No! Stay calm! I've called the fire department! The fire will be taken care of in no time!” Colton shouted, trying to keep everyone calm.
However, Fiorella was too frightened. She just could not figure out who would do such a thing to her in San Joto other than Jared and Nicole. Then, she figured that they must already have found out that she was the one who had planned to send Nicole off the bridge now that they had gotten to her.
‘They're going to kill me today!’ she thought to herself.
"I can’t die here... Let me out!" she yelled.
Then, Fiorella grabbed the tail end of her dress and rushed outside as if she had lost her mind, while Colton could not stop Fiorella in time as Hugo would just not stop pestering him.
