Chapter 299 Shut Up
Though Natalie was slow to realize Jacyntha’s scheme, she quickly came to her senses.
She’s not aiming for a cat fight, she’s trying to murder me!
Swiftly, Natalie’s swinging hands caught Jacyntha’s elbow, and she tightened her grip in order to stop the
latter from pursuing her evil intention.
Astounded, Jacyntha did not expect Natalie to be so strong.
At that moment, her mind went blank. Her only desire was to stop Natalie from seducing Christopher.
With that determination, she struggled to jerk her hand free from Natalie’s grip.
The constant push and pull resulted in both the women becoming entangled. Soon, an untoward
accident occurred.
Jacyntha tripped over her feet, and her entire body went tumbling down from the rooftop.
“Ahhh…” Along with a shrilly yelp, she felt her body becoming lighter and lighter…
Sh*t, I’m going to die here!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSuddenly, Jacyntha felt a powerful force seizing her arm and hindering her from entering into a state of
free fall.
She looked up and gasped in disbelief.
It was Natalie grasping her wrist.
She could not believe that Natalie would save her after all that she had done to her.
“Why… why do you want to save me?” she asked under her breath as she stared at the hand clasping
tightly on her wrist.
“What do you mean why?”
Yes, I dislike her. Though she abhors me to a point that she wants to kill me, I can never bring myself to
do the same to her. There are many ways to vent my hatred against her, but leaving her to fall to her
death isn’t one of them.
At such a critical time, Natalie had no time to waste on Jacyntha. She spat, “What are you doing? Hurry
up and hold on to me! Did you want to die this way?”
At that instant, Jacyntha finally snapped back into her senses.
Her will to stay alive had never been stronger.
With that determination, she stretched out the other arm and tried reaching Natalie’s vigorously, but to no
avail.
Natalie’s body stiffened, and veins could be seen bulging out of her temples.
Darn it! When will Christopher arrive?
Even if she used up every ounce of her might, she obviously was not able to drag Jacyntha up.
Yet, she could not come clean with the latter about the situation. Otherwise, Jacyntha might give up
trying before the last strand of hope was depleted.
Natalie felt that the blood on her hands had coagulated as terror gripped her.
Slowly, her arms which had been rubbing back and forth against the uneven cement floor started feeling
numb.
As the clock ticked, every single second felt like an eternity.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was an absolute agony as hopelessness crept up on her.
“Am I… going to die?” tears streaked Jacyntha’s face as she asked in a quavering voice. “It’s all… all…
my fault. I’m… sorry…”
“Shut up!” Natalie managed to squeeze two words out of her throat to rebuke her.
After a long while, someone appeared at the rooftop, and it was none other than Christopher.
As soon as he arrived, he witnessed the scene where Jacyntha was about to fall off the building.
In a flash, he dashed ahead and hugged Natalie from the back. Then, he leaned forward to grab
Jacyntha’s arm and steadily pulled her up to safety.
When Jacyntha landed herself on the cement floor, she was totally exhausted and feeble.
Nonetheless, she threw herself straight into Christopher’s arms and wailed as loud as she could.
Seeing a trembling Jacyntha, Christopher stroked her back to console her.
Meanwhile, Natalie stared at her benumbed hands and then at the sobbing Jacyntha.
There’s probably nothing serious since she has the energy to cry out loudly. I shall leave this mess to
Christopher.
Without saying anything, Natalie turned and left.
She merely took a few steps before a man’s voice rang out from behind.
“Where are you going?”
