Overnight, the once glorious Griffin's Family was reduced to shambles.
Although the explosion hadn't covered a wide area, the building where it occurred had turned to ashes.
Jasper Bollock stared at the smoldering ruins before him, his eyes rimmed with red.
For the first time in his life, he felt an immense sense of despair.
He struggled to maintain his composure and not break down in front of others, only his tightly clenched fists making a "crack crack crack" sound as his knuckles strained.
Amanda…
If he had known Lucas Griffin couldn't protect her completely, keep her safe, he would never have entrusted her to Lucas!
Luther Grill approached Jasper to report the situation.
"Lieutenant Colonel, the building that exploded was Griffin Mansion's entertainment room, and the police are currently investigating the cause of the explosion," he said.
"What about the people?" Jasper clenched his teeth, his voice trembling with suppressed emotion.
