Chapter 394 

It all started with Leopold’s car exploding in a series of blasts, followed by Thalassa’s blue-purple BMW going up in flames. 

Leopold, carrying Thalassa, managed to get some distance away but was still slightly caught in the shockwave, knocking them both to the ground. 

In a knee-jerking moment, Leopold instinctively pulled Thalassa towards him, in an attempt to prevent her from hitting the ground too hard. However, this resulted in his knees painfully hitting the ground, leading to a loss of strength, and causing both of them to roll forward. 

Luckily, they were near a flat park filled with trees and green grass. Leopold and Thalassa rolled a few times on the grassy ground before coming to a halt. 

Wincing from the pain, Léopold quickly got up and limped towards Thalassa. She was lying on the grass, unconscious, with a patch of blood on her forehead. Leopold was filled with anxiety, his heart pounding and hands trembling as he gently patted Thalassa’s face, pleading with a cry in his voice, “Thalassa, wake up, wake up.” 

“Help, help!” A woman’s cry for help echoed from the park’s pond, accompanied by the sound of splashing water. It was Isabella floundering in the water.  S~ᴇaʀᴄh the (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

When the car was about to explode, Isabella quickly unbuckled her seatbelt and jumped out. She sprinted towards the bridge over the pond and, upon hearing the explosion, her survival instincts kicked in. Without a second thought, she jumped off the bridge into the pond.. 

Although she knew how to swim, the urgency of the situation, coupled with the fall from the bridge, threw her off balance and she started to sink. 

Leopold only glanced at the pond, saw Isabella struggling, and chose not to help. Instead, he stayed by Thalassa’s side, pulling out his phone to call for an ambulance. The wicked Isabella could drown for all he cared! 

Just as Leopold was making the call, fire engines, and police cars started to arrive. The drivers who had parked on the roadside had called the fire department and police. 

Firefighters quickly got to work extinguishing the burning vehicles. 

“Help, help!” Despite her struggles, Isabella heard the arrival of the firefighters. In a desperate bid to save herself, she cried out for help. 

A firefighter quickly jumped into the water and rescued her. 

A police officer approached Leopold to ask about the situation. His heart was filled with worry for Thalassa and he didn’t have the energy to engage with the police officer. With red-rimmed eyes and a choked voice, he simply said, “You can see what happened. The car caught fire.” 

Isabella, who had been rescued, added, “The car caught fire and nobody expected it. It was just an accident.” 

Even though Leopold had seen her struggling in the water and chose not to help her, she didn’t want to accuse him of trying to kill her. 

She didn’t want Leopold to be held responsible. 

Because if he were, her own dark deeds would be exposed and she would face public scorn. 

She knew Leopold hated her.. 

But she still couldn’t let him go. 

“In that case, we’ll proceed as a normal accident investigation,” the police officer said. 

Soon, an ambulance arrived. 

The paramedics lifted Thalassa onto the ambulance and Leopold rode along, anxiously accompanying Thalassa.
