Chapter 950 Making the Deal (1/2)

She had not even seen her parents and her brother yet. She could not die... She couldn't die...

Tears flowed down from Beryl's eyes endlessly, burning Dylan's bare skin. He clutched her closer and tried to coax her. ”Beryl, it will all be okay... I'll get you out...”

The sound of the fire was getting louder and louder. There was only one exit. Darren's bodyguards were fighting hard to get through and save them, but there were too many barrels of oil outside the basement and the fire was quickly moving inside. Within ten minutes, the whole building was ablaze.

The moment David arrived in China, he received a phone call from Jacob. Scared to death, they rushed to the scene with firefighters. David's heart started beating violently as he saw the house burning from a distance.

Michelle too was notified and got there after them.

In the basement, the black smoke had already knocked the children down. They were dying. With blurry eyes, Rita lay on her stomach on the floor and tried to crawl toward them, but she too was getting drained of life. She couldn't move an inch.

”Dylan... Beryl... Hang in there... Mommy is coming to save you...”

Rita's crystal tears got mixed with the soot as they flowed down the sides of her face, leaving small streams on her face. Her voice was hoarse, low, and powerless.

Dylan, who was almost unconscious, responded to Rita with a tough smile. He tried to speak but couldn't make a sound.

”Dylan! Beryl!”

Rita shouted hysterically, but none of them responded.

”Here you are!”

Darren had somehow found a wet cloth in the basement. He immediately blocked Rita's mouth and nose with it. Rita seemed to have given up the will to live, as she struggled to avoid his help.

”Do you want to die?”

Darren shouted, staring at the dying woman in anger and puzzlement.
