âLetâs go.â Duncan turned around and left.
Boris chuckled. âYou donât want to watch her jump?â
Duncan smiled faintly. âIf it were Hera, I might consider it, but this is Helena. Kai is dead, so her life isnât worth much. Itâd be a waste of time watching her jump.â
He paused when he mentioned Hera. He turned to look toward the woman and Melody who were not far away. Nash would probably be distressed if he got Boris to get rid of them.
Boris followed his gaze and immediately guessed what he was thinking. âAre you thinking of having me eliminate them?â he asked with a laugh.
Duncan turned back briefly before continuing forward. âI did have that
thought, but itâs unnecessary. What use am I if I were to get you to do
everything?â
He wanted to seek revenge on Nash using his own methods.
have your power, and I have my tricks. Itâs a matter of whether yo
fists or my brain are more effective.â
The more Boris observed Duncan, the more he appreciated him. He
was on par with the strategists from the Black Wind Mountains.
On the rooftop of the building, Helena was dressed in a pristine white
dress. The wind was biting, and despite the onset of winter, Helena
seemed impervious to the cold. Perhaps the pain in her heart had
overshadowed every other sensation.
Helena did not even get to see Kai one last time after she woke up in the hospital. Her mother had left home, the company was facing
bankruptcy, and now her beloved man had departed from this world.
She could not find a reason to keep going.
Suddenly, there were footsteps behind her. The security officers and fire brigade had arrived. The leading young man who was dressed in a
suit whispered, âSplit up. If you see an opportunity, take it. Iâll distract
her.â
He was a negotiation expert from the inspection bureau and held a doctoral degree in psychology.
âMs. Lewis, can we talk?â the young man asked gently.
âShut up.â Helena turned and leaned forward slightly when she saw
them trying to stop her. âIf any of you dare to step forward or say one more word, Iâll jump!â
The negotiation expert felt a pang of concern and quickly raised his
hands to halt the groupâs movements. He was most worried
dealing with someone who would not even give him a chance to
speak.
Of the only two times he messed up in the past, both individuals wi
ended themselves were like this. If he said anything, she might
actually jump. While she might be bluffing, he did not dare gamble
with her life.
âHave Helenaâs parents been found?â the young man asked someone
beside him.
âNo, her mother left home and hasnât returned. Her father has a

mental disorder and is undergoing psychological treatment at the hospital. We donât dare to inform him about this incident.â
The young man shook his head with a bitter expression.
At that moment, Hera rushed over, her voice trembling as she called
out, âHelenaâ¦â
Helanaâs delicate figure shivered. Closing her eyes, she cried out,â
Isnât Nash supposed to be powerful? Why couldnât he save Kai? Why?â
âHelena, Kai didnât die!â Hera hastily revealed the truth.
âI donât need your comfort! Everything thatâs happening to me now is
what I deserve for how I treated you before!â Helena refused to believe Heraâs words. She assumed Hera was trying to deceive her
just to lure her down.
âIâm not lying to you. Kai really didnât die. Nash is treating him. If you come with me to Royal Bay, youâll see. Or I can video call with Nash and show you!â Hera took out her phone and called Nash via video
call.
However, the phone rang for a long time without an answer. âP
answer the call!â Hera was getting agitated.
Helana smiled faintly. âHera, please take care of my father for me and
tell him Iâm sorry.â With that, she closed her eyes, preparing to jump.
âWhatâs wrong, Hera?â
