After divorce, Ex-wife Revealed Identities
Chapter 970

Chapter 970

"Why did I hit you? You know it very well," Mr. McGuire's face was so dark it could almost drip ink. "We treated you well, and yet you dare to harm my daughter. What did Katie do to you?"

"I harm Katie? How is that possible? I care for her more than anything," Kareem quickly defended himself, "I'm her brother. My older brother is trapped abroad, and I've been taking care of Katie all along!" "You talk better than you sing. Do you think I don't know about your schemes behind the scenes? If it weren't for my respect for your father, do you think I would tolerate you?" Mr. McGuire sneered, his face stil grim.

"Don't think I don't know about your shady dealings. If it weren't for my dad's sake, do you think I'd put up with you? Kareem, I don't care what you do. You want money, I know all about your schemes, but I turn a blind eye. But you keep pushing my limits! Don't blame me for not being polite!"

"Uncle, what are you saying? Katie had an accident? I had no idea," Kareem looked anxiously at Mr. McGuire, "Are you so worried about Katie that you're talking nonsense here?"

"You're still pretending," Mr. McGuire's anger turned Kareem's face pale, "What are you pretending for? You, a distant relative, can live in the McGuire family mansion. Why? It's all because your dad and I grew up together. Your dad even broke a leg for me in school! His affection for me, you can't compare no matter how many times over!"

"For your dad's sake, no matter what you do, no matter how much harm you bring to the McGuire Group, I stay silent. Carolyn just couldn't stand it and took away your power, so what? My daughter-in-law and son are the rightful heirs. And you? You have ambitions you shouldn't have."

Kareem's heart trembled. He didn't expect Mr. McGuire to know so much.

His mind went blank, feeling lost.

But soon, he calmed down, pitifully covering the swollen half of his face, "Uncle, I never thought I would be so despised in your eyes. I'm really not like what you said... As for Carolyn, I don't care how she treats me. Everything I have is given by the McGuire family, so I'm very grateful. My older brother is trapped abroad, and I'm worried... Now hearing about Katie's accident. I wish I could fly over... Bear all the pain for Katie..."

"Shut up!" Mr. McGuire roared, "If I didn't know you so well, I might have believed your excuses. Kareem, I advise you to stop now, or... the Gibson family isn't easy to mess with. Do you think Jasper is easy to bully? Or Geoff?"

"Uncle... why are we suddenly talking about the Gibson family? I haven't offended them," Kareem said, but he felt a hint of fear.

Carolyn was just an adopted daughter... The Gibson family shouldn't go to extremes for her, right? Moreover, he had been very discreet. How could they possibly trace it back to him?

"Hmph," Mr. McGuire scrutinized him, "You're brave. I admire you. But if you push it too far, you'll bury the entire McGuire Group with you!"

Back when Carolyn hadn't revealed she was the daughter of the Gibson family, it was as hard as climbing the sky for her to enter the McGuire family.

But later? The Gibson family had status and wealth in Urgford.

After knowing she was the daughter of the Gibson family, although she was an adopted daughter, the McGuire family still accepted her. Especially since her relationship with the son was good, Carolyn was outstandingly capable, and together they expanded the McGuire Group.

Such a good daughter-in-law wasn't easy to replace. Mr. McGuire wasn't blind.

Not to mention the relationship between Jasper, Franklin, and Sylvia.

"I advise you to watch yourself. Don't let me replace evidence. If I do, you're finished!" With that, he turned and left.

Kareem's sinister gaze followed him until he disappeared at the door.

He wiped the blood from his lips with his fingers, his face filled with hostility, "Katie didn't die? She's lucky! Carolyn... rest assured, I'll take good care of you in prison. McGuire Group? Sooner or later, it'll be mine!"

Sylvia was awakened by a loud rumble of thunder.

A thunderclap, like an explosion, startled her.

She slowly opened her eyes to see the thunder rolling across the sky, shaking the mountains and rivers, while dazzling silver snakes danced in the sky.

Followed by a torrential downpour, she hurried to close the windows, the strong wind tossing her jet-black hair, mingling with the rain pouring in.

Franklin on the bed heard the commotion and sat up, "Why is it raining so heavily?"

The sky was gloomy, with dark clouds pressing down as if the sky had sprung a leak, pouring down water incessantly.

"The weather forecast said it would be moderate rain. How come it's pouring so heavily early in the morning?" Sylvia, having closed the windows, returned to the bedside.

She checked her phone and found several severe thunderstorm warnings issued.

"Larro is a plain area, usually blessed with mild weather year-round, so how could there suddenly be such a heavy downpour?" Franklin got up from the bed, his tall figure moving to the window, watching the pouring rain outside, "It's like a typhoon. But typhoons usually hit coastal areas, not inland plains like ours."

"Let's get ready, and try not to go out today. I don't know if Jasper came back last night." Sylvia looked worriedly outside, "This rain makes me uneasy."

Soon, they finished getting ready and went downstairs.

The caregiver had already prepared breakfast downstairs and greeted them with a smile, "Young master, madam, come have breakfast."

Since they hired the caregiver, Sylvia rarely cooked these days.

The caregiver's cooking was decent, with a taste somewhat similar to Sylvia's.

The housekeeper came out with a frown, "Jasper didn't come back last night, and now with this heavy rain, who knows what he's up to." "He's probably dealing with his sister's situation. Let's eat," Franklin said calmly, "We'll wait and see."

As they sat down, almost simultaneously, their phones chimed.

Sylvia put down her fork first, "Another red alert for heavy rain."

Outside, the rain continued to pour relentlessly, showing no sign of stopping.

Many people on social media had started posting videos and photos, reporting flooding in some areas.

Yet, most people didn't feel the imminent danger or disaster. There were more jokes and self-amusement than anything else.

On TikTok, people were uploading videos, "Since when does Larro have such heavy rain? Look, look, my car wheels are almost submerged."

There were also journalists from the meteorological TV station reporting on the rainfall, but people still didn't realize the impending disaster.

Jasper tiredly drove into the underground tunnel. Just as he reached the middle, he saw water gushing crazily towards the exit, almost shocking him with its force. He immediately perked up, accelerating frantically towards the tunnel's exit.

Lowering his window, he kept shouting, "Get out! Hurry! Accelerate! The tunnel will be deadly if it fills with water!"

Some drivers behind him also realized the danger and rushed to escape. Some older cars simply stalled in the water.

Some tried to restart their engines, while others prepared to abandon their vehicles.

Some were unaware of the potential consequences of the tunnel flooding!

Jasper stopped his car and yelled at them, "Hurry, get in the car! If this fills up, no one will make it out!"

There were numerous cars inside the tunnel!

Some still thought Jasper was exaggerating.

However, the rapidly flooding water told them a harsh reality-it was truly life-threatening!

So, people rushed towards Jasper's car.

One woman hesitated to leave her beloved car. Jasper strode over and said, "Is the car more important than your life? Let's go!"

He pulled her into the car and drove out.

But within minutes, the water almost reached the door level.

The car struggled forward, but the oncoming water was overwhelming, like a monstrous beast trying to devour them all.

When they finally emerged from the tunnel, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

However, many cars behind them were submerged and unable to escape.

The tunnel was filled with water, all in just a few minutes.

Jasper got out of the car, calling for help on the phone, but the signal was weak. "Sir, I'm in the XX tunnel. Many cars are trapped, and it's flooding." Franklin asked, "Jasper, what did you say?"

Looking at the dark sky and pouring rain, Jasper shouted, "Sir, send help to the XX tunnel! It's dangerous! Rescue!"

Finally understanding, Franklin said, "Danger? Is there flooding?"

"No, it's not flooding... It could be a flood! Sir, come quickly!" Jasper's phone went dead as he spoke, submerged in water.

He put away his phone and plunged into the water, followed by a few other survivors who could swim.

Those who couldn't swim quickly called the police, rescue teams, and firefighters!

In the villa, Franklin hung up the phone, meeting Sylvia's worried gaze. "This water isn't normal. It could lead to a flood. Let's go rescue Jasper."
