Chapter 176 Following Isolde's Plan

Vance couldn't finish speaking. His voice broke, and for a long moment, he couldn't utter a single word. Finally, Clark took over. "When I arrived, the fire had already spread too far. Grandmother was crying hysterically, saying that Braden was still inside. I led a group of people to charge in, but the bedroom was probably the first to catch fire. The flames there were too intense, and we couldn't get through. We tried several times to douse the fire, but it was impossible to reach the room. At first, we could hear someone calling for help, but after a while, the cries stopped." Clark's eyes were red, his clothes torn. Even though he had harbored hatred for Braden, seeing him die while trying to save his grandmother moved him deeply, and it saddened him.
