Betrayal At the Altar by Dolores Delia

Chapter 704

Jimmy noticed Mary hiding in the corner and frowned. “What are you doing here?”

“I, I…” Mary’s voice choked, and she could not speak, tears flowing out of her eyes.

At this moment, all her feelings up to this point seemed to burst forth.

Jimmy was most afraid of women crying.

Seeing Mary wailing like a helpless child, Jimmy’s heart inexplicably tightened.

Jimmy quickly walked forward, but Mary hurriedly stepped backward and shouted, “Don’t come over! They tied a

bomb to me!”

“I know.” Jimmy continued to walk forward, a hint of frustration in his voice. “I’m not blind.”

How could he not see the explosives tied to Mary’s body?

Moreover, the bomb would go off in three minutes.

“Who did this?” Jimmy looked at the complicated bomb on Mary’s body and his eyes darkened.

Mary didn’t say anything, only looking at Nathan with a resentful gaze.

Following her line of sight to Nathan. Jimmy cursed softly.

“I’ll do it.” Rachel walked up to Jimmy.

Jimmy was stunned for a moment but when he saw Rachel roll up her sleeves, he hurriedly said, “No

need, no need. It’s such a small matter, I can do it myself.”

Rachel looked at him indifferently. “I don’t trust you.”

Jimmy was left speechless.

To be honest, it wasn’t a good feeling being doubted in front of everyone.

Jimmy admitted that he was usually fooling around and looked unreliable, but he wouldn’t drop the ball.

at such a critical moment.

It seemed that Jimmy would need to work hard in the future to correct Rachel’s impression of him.

As Jimmy was pushed to the side by Rachel, he felt the damage to his self-esteem.

Jimmy pursed his lips and squeezed himself back in. “Rachel, let me do this.”

Rachel frowned and was about to speak when a figure walked over.

David took Rachel’s hand. “When a hero is saving a damsel in distress, you have to give him a chance.“

As David spoke, he held Rachel’s waist and led her to the side.

As soon as they walked off, Jimmy took a big stride forward. He studied the bomb tied to Mary seriously, and a

solemn look flashed across his eyes.

However, when Jimmy looked up again, he had his usual cheeky smile on his face. “Are you afraid?”

Mary stared at the mole at the corner of Jimmy’s eye in a daze. She nodded before she quickly shook her

head.

Mary swallowed and said firmly, “Do it. I trust you!”

Mary was clearly trembling in fear, but she was very stubborn.

“Silly girl.” A gentle look appeared in Jimmy’s eyes, accompanied with a soft smile, as he reached out and patted

her head gently. “Don’t be afraid. I won’t let anything happen to you.”

Mary nodded solemnly.

Landon handed the toolkit to Jimmy.

The bomb had now entered the two-minute countdown.

There wasn’t much time left for Jimmy.

Carefully, Jimmy checked the wires on the bomb. A thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead and the tip of his

nose, and the hair on his forehead was also drenched in sweat.

Usually, a minute felt like it was crawling by.

However, every second now seemed to have been deliberately accelerated. In the blink of an eye, they were down

to a one-minute countdown.

Mary looked at the countdown and clenched her fists tightly from where they were pulled behind her. “Jimmy, don’t

worry about me.” Mary stared at Jimmy, who was right in front of her. Mary’s eyes could not help but reveal a trace

of reluctance. “It’s okay. I won’t blame you.”

Jimmy didn’t say anything, only raising his eyes and giving her a meaningful look.

At the same time, Jimmy used the scissors in his hand to cut the yellow line.

Everyone around could not help but hold their breath nervously.

The moment it was cut, the countdown stopped and everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

Seeing the situation, Mary quietly heaved a sigh of relief, looking at Jimmy and smiling through her

tears.

“Don’t move.” Jimmy’s fingertip touched an extremely thin line. It was almost like a fishing line and if one wasn’t

meticulous, they wouldn’t be able to notice it.

This line wrapped around Mary’s neck and was hidden in her hair. If they were not careful, the thread would snap

and the bomb would go off.

The timer was a smokescreen. This line was what would actually detonate the bomb.

“Didn’t you say that I’m lucky? Then I’ll give you half of my luck.” Jimmy said, “From now on, we’ll share it.”

As Jimmy spoke, he took a pair of small scissors from his tool bag, following the line with his fingertips. before he

cut the line.

Seeing this, a hint of defeat appeared on Nathan’s face.

Nathan had thought that the bomb he had designed was ingenious enough so that no one would discover anything.

Nathan did not expect that all his efforts would be wasted.

Jimmy walked behind Mary and untied her hands before he pulled her into his arms in a hug and whispered in her

ear, “You were very brave.”

“Since there’s there’s nothing else, shouldn’t we go?” Vulture suddenly said.

Initially, Vulture had wanted to save the damsel in distress, but who would have thought that he would. only be in

the background? Vulture was skilled, but somehow there was nowhere for him to use these skills.

“Can you walk?” Jimmy looked at Mary.

Mary nodded. However, just as she took a step forward, her knees went weak and she almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Jimmy reacted quickly and grabbed her arm.

Mary smiled awkwardly. Without waiting for her to speak, Jimmy bent down and picked her up into his arms,

carrying her with big strides toward the car.

As he passed by Rachel and David, he didn’t forget to say, “David, Rachel, we’ll leave first. See you later.”

Everyone left in twos and threes. Nathan who couldn’t get up on his own was forced by someone into a

15.13

car.

When Nathan got into the car, his gaze landed on Rachel and David, his lips curling into an unfriendly smile.

Nathan had worked so hard and long on this plan. How could he let them get away with this so easily?

Through the rearview mirror, Nathan watched Rachel and David get into their car, and his eyes glinted

with ruthless coldness.

Seeing his expression, Yann, who was sitting beside him, felt a little uneasy.

Subconsciously. Yann tried to recall if he had overlooked any important clues.

At this moment, Blackhawk suddenly waved and stopped the car.

Yann rolled down the window. “What’s the matter?”

“Returning something.” Blackhawk said, pulling a string of bombs out from behind him.

The long string was tied up like a firecracker.

Seeing this string of bombs. Nathan’s eyebrows twitched furiously.

Unwilling to give up, Nathan secretly pressed the remote control hidden in his palm.

As expected, nothing happened.

Nathan sat there with a pale face. They’d seen through every one of his schemes.

Yann’s expression changed and he asked, “Where was it?”

Based on the explosive power of these bombs, if they detonated, they would all die here in the tunnel!

“You’ll have to ask him.” Blackhawk’s gaze passed Yann and landed on Nathan. “I’ve returned it to its rightful

owner, no need to thank me.”

Yann’s gaze naturally landed on Nathan, and his lips curled into a mocking smile. “I underestimated you previously.”
