Chapter 380 Mutual Destruction
Almost at the same time, everyone rushed towards the lounge.
Allan also received the news and headed upstairs with the plainclothes detectives.
Ava was the first to come downstairs, and Lori was kicking the door.
"This door is really solid."
Lori kicked it a few times but couldn't open it.
A strong smell of gasoline wafted out from under the door, and soon gasoline started flowing out.
Lori exclaimed, "This is bad."
It was definitely an attempt to set a fire.
Ava also tried to break down the door but couldn't. She asked, "Where's your lockpick?"
"Oh right, I almost forgot I have lockpicking skills." Lori slapped her forehead and took out a lockpick.
"Lori, Ava, where's Aurora?"
Todd had also arrived.
Allan, Alexander, and Dean arrived one after another.
Alexander asked, "What's going on?"
For those who didn't know what was happening, seeing everyone running in this direction was quite alarming.
Alexander was both anxious and curious.
On such a joyous day, what was everyone panicking about?
Just as he finished speaking, Lori opened the door.
The scene inside the room shocked everyone outside.
Sandra, wearing a wedding dress and high heels, was dousing the room with gasoline—walls, bed, sofa, everywhere.
Aurora, also in a wedding dress, lay on the bed, seemingly unconscious.
Her face was turned towards the window, so the people at the door couldn't see her face, but she was the only one in the room, and it was clearly Aurora's dress.
"Sandra, stop it!"
Lori tried to rush in but Todd held her back.
Sandra was holding a lighter, and with just a flick, the whole room could go up in flames.
"If anyone's not scared of dying and wants to join Aurora, come on in." Sandra laughed maniacally, her scarred face looking terrifying: "Anyone who steps in, I'll burn her alive."
Everyone was extremely anxious but didn't dare to rush in.
Seeing Sandra, Alexander was livid. He stepped forward, pointed at Sandra, and with his old authoritative tone, spoke, "Sandra, drop the lighter. If you so much as touch a hair on Aurora's head, I'll make you regret it."
When they were kids, Alexander used to discipline his daughters like this.
Sandra used to be very afraid of Alexander, but today she didn't take his words seriously.
"Today, I'm going down with Aurora. If I can't have her, she doesn't get to be happy either."
Jack shoved Alexander aside and, losing control of his emotions, shouted at Sandra, "If you dare to harm Aurora, I'll make you pay."
Ignoring Sandra's threat, Jack prepared to step inside to try to get Aurora out.
As soon as he took a step, Sandra lit the lighter. The flame flared up, and if she threw it at Aurora, it would all be over.
Everyone held their breath, and Jack had to quickly step back.
Lori cursed, "You lunatic, if you want to die, don't drag Aurora with you."
Allan, in his capacity as a police officer, voiced, "Sandra, if you surrender now, you'll get a lighter sentence."
Allan was stalling for time. He had secretly signaled Ava, planning to go down from the upstairs window and then climb in to rescue Aurora.
Dean anxiously asked, "What did my daughter ever do to you? Why do you have to die with her?"
Todd tried to persuade, "Sandra, it's not too late to stop. Don't be stubborn. Put out the fire. Even if you kill Aurora, John won't love you. Love can't be forced."
"You hypocrites, I planned to kill Helen. How could you ever let me go? You set up this big trap just to catch me. Fine, then we'll all die together." Sandra laughed maniacally, pointing at the people at the door: "Where's John? Why don't you dare to show up? Don't you love this woman to death? Why don't you come out? Come out!"
Only then did everyone realize that John was the only one missing.
"John, if you don't come out, I'll burn her alive. I'll count to three. One, two, three..."
"No!"
Sandra threw the lighter towards Aurora on the bed. As soon as the flame touched the gasoline, the fire quickly spread, and in an instant, the flames reached the door.
Everyone at the door quickly backed away.
