Before he could ask why Howard called Ashlyn for help, he heard Ashlynâs flustered voice, âD*mn it!
Lucas, we need to head there now!â
I canât let my comrades die in Imperial Hotel! When I was unconscious, someone took action against Imperial Hotel. I was simply too careless.
âYouâre hurt. Thereâs no way you can leave.â Lucas forced her to get into bed. âIâll head there personally with my men to help put out the fire. Howard has already called 911 for the firefightersâ help, so donât you worry.â
âLucas, I must go! I wonât be able to relax here. I only suffered from a few scratches, so it will be fine!â
Having said that, Ashlyn shoved the covers away and bit back the pain as she grabbed her phone from him. She called Jared and ordered, âJared, head to Imperial Hotel now with everyone! Prepare the water source! Imperial Hotel is on fire! Inform Luigi. Everyone must be there! No matter what, we must save those stuck in Imperial Hotel!â
After relaying her orders grimly, Ashlyn turned to Lucas. âLetâs go!â
Lucasâ heart ached when he saw how decisive she was. Grabbing her arm, he didnât bother hiding his feelings. âHoney, Iâm here for you. Trust me.â
Why is she always this independent and insists on shouldering everything herself? Why canât she learn to depend on someone else?
Ashlynâs gaze bore into the handsome man standing before her as she said slowly, âThatâs because you donât know how important Imperial Hotel is to me. Donât try to stop me, Lucas. I know myself.â

With that said, she shoved him away and headed for the door.
Lucasâ gaze turned dark as he glanced at her determined figure. He then made a call. âSpencer, bring our men to Imperial Hotel now. The more, the better. For what? To put out the fire!â
Imperial Hotel was covered in flames that were trying to incinerate everything into ashes.
From afar, the sirens of the fire engines wailed.

They were dumbfounded by the sight that greeted them.
