Chapter 438

Chapter 438 Falling off the Cliff

“If you insist,” Toby sneered back at Declan.

Only when Declan looked at Carl did he put away the smile on his face, and his expression became one

of impatience. “Lucius, what are you still standing there for? Go on!”

“You don’t need to rush me. I will naturally do it”, Carl said, then he drew out a dagger from the waist belt

of the bodyguard next to him. The dagger’s blade was very sharp, and the tip glinted with a cold silver

light, making those who saw it shudder.

At that moment, Sonia was deep in despair yet helpless, and unfortunately, she could only watch on with

her pupils dilated in complete horror.

Carl, don’t! Stop!

Carl smiled at her, then slowly aimed the tip of the knife at his left chest. But just as he was about to stab

down on himself, the sound of propellers came from the sky again. This time, the sound was deafening,

and there was more than one propeller. The crowd looked up again and saw that not far away in the sky,

three helicopters flew over, and painted on the leading helicopter was the word ‘Fuller’, indicating the

helicopter’s affiliation. It was Toby’s helicopter!

Declan was dumbfounded, so it took several seconds for him to come to his senses and look at Toby

with eyes wide open. “You also called a helicopter?”

“I can’t call a helicopter?” Toby slightly raised his eyes and faintly replied. Due to too much anger,

Declan’s hand that was pinching Sonia’s neck was shaking. “I got it now. I was lied to. I was lied to from

the beginning to the end. From the very beginning, you have no intention to let me go. Even if I let Sonia

go and leave here, your helicopter will also immediately catch me.”

Toby hooked his lips. “You’re pretty clever.”

Even Carl was surprised. Apparently, he also did not expect that Toby had called his helicopter. But this

was good, as this time Declan and his group would not be able to escape. Looking at Toby’s helicopter

getting closer and closer and soon going to close in on their helicopter, Declan’s men became anxious,

and they shouted, “Young Master Declan, quickly! Forget about them first. Release the woman and grab

the ladder! We should go now. If we don’t go, we really won’t be able to escape. If we want to kill Lucius,

we still have plenty of chances later. Now the most important thing is to get out of here first, Young

Master Declan!”

Declan knew this, but he was not willing to just leave because it would be beyond challenging the next

time he wanted to get Lucius killed. But if he didn’t leave, Toby would get him, and if Toby handed him

over to Lucius, he was afraid that Lucius would turn around and kill him. So, it was undeniable that his

best move there and then was to leave. Although he would end up being retaliated against by Toby, Toby

wouldn’t get him killed if he didn’t get Sonia killed. As long as he didn’t die, he would still have a chance.

Thinking of this, Declan gritted his teeth and finally took a deep breath. Next, he threw Sonia toward the

side, then jumped upward and grabbed the soft ladder. What Declan didn’t expect was that he threw

Sonia with a little too much force, and when Sonia fell to the ground, her body rolled backward. With this,

she fell down the steep slope.

“Sonia!” Toby’s face changed dramatically.

Carl also opened his eyes wide. “Sonia!”

The two dashed toward the edge of the steep slope, and when they reached the edge, their hearts sank

when they saw that Sonia was tumbling down below.

“Sonia!” Carl stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to grab Sonia.

However, Sonia was below, rolling down the slope more than thirty feet away. Carl stood on top of the

slope, so he was not able to grab her. Just as Carl didn’t know what to do and could only watch as Sonia

eventually fell off the cliff, he suddenly felt a strong wind whisking by his ears, and then he saw a shadow

jumping down. That was Toby! Toby had actually jumped down!

Carl’s pupils dilated as he saw Toby jump down and also roll a distance away. After that, Toby reached

out and pulled Sonia’s wrist, then pulled Sonia into his arms.

“Don’t be afraid!” As Sonia looked at Toby with a shocked gaze, Toby suddenly smiled at her and said

these words.

However, the heartwarming scene didn’t last long before both of them fell off the cliff amidst Carl’s horror.

At that, Carl’s legs suddenly went limp, and he knelt at once on the edge of the steep slope, his eyes

staring at the empty area and his lips trembling as he could not speak. Sonia had fallen off the cliff! As for

Toby, he also thought nothing of it and jumped down for the sake of Sonia. However, Carl could only

stand rooted without the slightest courage to follow them.

At this moment, Carl could not deny that Toby indeed loved Sonia. Otherwise, it would be impossible for

him to jump off the cliff without hesitation and go after her. And he himself, who said he loved Sonia,

could not even take this step.

How pathetic! I could not even die for her!

If he was really willing to kill himself to save Sonia, he wouldn’t have delayed again and again. Instead, in

the beginning, when Declan offered to have him die and would release Sonia as long as he died, he

would have immediately done it to himself. But he didn’t. Instead, he discussed it with Toby for a long

time, enough to show that he couldn’t die for Sonia. So, he lost, once again to Toby. When it came to

one’s feelings for Sonia, he really couldn’t compare to Toby’s deep feelings for her.

On the soft ladder, Declan also saw this scene, and he was completely dumbfounded. He never thought

that with just a push, Sonia would fall down the steep slope and end up falling off the cliff. After all, he

really didn’t dare to kill Sonia, or Toby would kill him. However, he never thought that things would turn

out this way. After Sonia fell off the cliff, Toby also followed and jumped with her. The cliff was so high, so

they definitely would not survive. And here, there were so many witnesses to prove that because of him,

Sonia fell down along with Toby, so the Fuller Family would definitely blame all this on him. The Fuller

Family would definitely get him killed!

Run! Hurry up and run! I’ll leave Seafield and even leave the country! I can’t be caught by the Fuller

Family, otherwise I will be as good as dead.

“Go, hurry up and go!” Thinking of this, Declan raised his head and roared at the cabin as loud as

possible.

The people in the cabin heard it, and the pilot immediately raised the helicopter, then turned around and

flew away. However, just as the helicopter flew off, two helicopters chased after it. The third one didn’t go

after it but slowly descended and landed not far behind Carl on a slightly flat area. Then, the cabin

opened, and Tom jumped down before he walked directly to the bodyguards and asked the leader,

“Where’s President Fuller and Miss Reed?”

Since there are so many people here, Miss Reed should be saved. Even if she is not, President Fuller

should still be here. Yet, why is President Fuller not here either?

The leader lowered his head, somewhat afraid to face Tom, then said in a low voice, “President Fuller…

President Fuller… h-he jumped off the cliff.”

“What did you say?” Tom first froze, then his face instantly changed.

Grabbing the other man’s collar, he shouted, “You said President Fuller jumped off the cliff?!”

“Yes.” The bodyguard captain nodded.

“Declan threw Miss Reed off the cliff, and President Fuller jumped down with her.”

Tom sucked in a breath of cold air, and in the next second, he questioned angrily, “Then why didn’t you

stop it? Why didn’t you, as President Fuller’s bodyguard, stop him? You allowed him to jump down in

front of you?”

“I-I didn’t have time.” The bodyguard also knew that he had shirked his responsibility by not protecting

his boss.

Clenching his fists with his eyes red, he replied, “It really happened too fast, and we did not react in time.

When we realized it was already too late.”
