He rushed into the room, but didn’t see Cecilia. Instead, he saw a strange man, half his body leaning out the window, reaching down, trying to grab something.
Outside the floor–to–ceiling window, a pair of hands clung tightly to the window frame.
That was… Cecilia.
Wesley pushed the man aside and, sure enough, saw Cecilia.
Her whole body was hanging outside the window, extremely dangerous.
“Ci.”
Wesley grabbed her wrist, trying to pull her back in.
But Cecilia, who had been struggling upward, suddenly stopped moving.
She looked up, gazing at him quietly.
“Wesley, you’re here.”
Wesley’s heart was in his throat. He could feel the strength in her hand gradually fading.
“Don’t, Ci.” His voice was hoarse, his eyes wide with fear, trying desperately to pull her up.
But she wouldn’t cooperate.

She wasn’t using any strength.
“Come up, Ci, please.” His voice was trembling.
Cecilia’s fingers, which had been gripping the window, slowly loosened. She still looked calm.
There was even a faint smile on her lips.
“Wesley, do you think if I fall, everything will finally be over?”
Her tone was light and easy.
As if she wasn’t dangling ten stories above the ground.
And if she fell, she would surely be smashed to pieces:
“Pull her up!” Wesley was almost halfway out the window himself.
He stubbornly refused to let go.
Another pair of hands reached out to help him grab Cecilia.
It was Johan.
The two men pulled together, trying to haul Cecilia up.
But Cecilia braced one foot against the wall, refusing to let them have their way.
Her eyes were full of resolve, as if she had already made up her mind.
“Wesley, I’m really tired. Please let me go.”
Wesley saw her intention. He clenched his teeth tightly, almost shouting.
“Cecilia, don’t you dare.”

He threatened her with Noah “If you dare jumps. Fll make sure Nesah dies with you.
Cecilia didn’t care anymor
Sheughed softly “Then I’ll take him to reunite with Disci That wouldn’t be so bad.”
“All these years. We really been so fined.”
“Why don’t you be ruthless and give us a chance to be together again
Wesley was terrified.
“No.”
His threatening tone turned into a plea
His eyes were red. “Ci, please,e up.”
Cecilia just looked at him. “Then can you let me go?”
At the height of the tenth floor, the wind was much fiercer
Wesley stared intently at Cecilia. The moment she spoke, he knew Cecilia was bargaining with her own life.
She was using her life to force him.
But he knew her well
“You won’t do it.”
“If you could so easily choose to end your own life, then you wouldn’t be Cecilia.”
Wesley calmed down, his trembling voice turning resolute

Cecilia curled her lips, her fingers that had let go now gripping the window again.
She thought she could threaten Wesley, but she hadn’t expected him to see through her.
She cooperated, and was immediately pulled back to safety.
Beside them, Juniper bit her lip guiltily, a trace of regret shing in her eyes.
Why was Cecilia so hard to kill?
Larissa was also a little disappointed, but she was used to never expressing those dark thoughts.
Instead, she even showed concern for Cecilia.
“Are you alright?”
Amelia pointed at Cecilia and scolded, “Cecilia, how long are you going to keep this up?”
A perfectly good dinner had been ruined by her.
The marriage alliance hadn’t been settled either.
Larissa followed Amelia’s words, looking aggrieved.
“Cecilia, just to stop me from marrying Johan, you pretended tomit suicide. Do you know how worried Wes must have been?”
She always yed the role of the good sister who cared for Wesley.
She made it sound like Cecilia had orchestrated the whole thing
Sure enough, Wesley’s expression grew even darker.

“Cecilia, Larissa and my brother’s marriage has nothing to do with you… Why would you do this? I think you just want to cause trouble for
Wes.”
“Everyone out.” Wesley was shrouded in a cold, murderous aura.
The lounge quickly fell silent.
Cecilia curled up on the sofa, the marks from gripping the window still visible on her fingers.
They were burning with pain now.
But she refused to show any weakness in front of Wesley.
Wesley’s face was dark. He saw it, but hardened his heart and ignored <ol><li>it. </li></ol>
“Cecilia, do you find this amusing?”
He was truly angry now.
“Using your own life to put on a show–only you coulde up with that.”
If it hadn’t been for herst words, he might have already agreed to her
terms.
Was it really so unbearable to be by his side, that she would risk her life to escape?
