Chapter 115
President’s Twins: Buy One, Get One Free
As soon as she saw Hayden, Lillian broke into tears and cried out.
âMs. Downey, I didnât take any necklace. She slanders me.â
âI know, I know you didnât take it. This matter is not investigated clearly yet, you come down first.â
âYouâre lying.â Lillian held the railing with one hand and wiped her tears with the other hand. The people who watched this got cold feet but she screamed at the top of her voice.
âAll of you are lying to me, itâs totally not like that, you all trust that starlet. She wants you all to sack me, Iâve heard everything.â
Hearing this, Haydenâs face turned pale and she glared at Jeff fiercely, âWhatâs going on?â
Jeff wrinkled his brow, âMr. Brown and the others think that itâs more important to quickly let the film crew move out, so...â
In the crowd, Mr. Brown suddenly interrupted.
âThe reason I do this is for the sake of the hotel.â
âEven if youâre for the sake of the hotel, you canât simply sack someone at will.â Hayden glanced at Mr. Brown and her gaze was so sharp and cold that he was scared and he shivered. At that moment, he did not dare to say anything anymore.
Hayden looked at Lillian again, raised her voice volume and shouted.
âDonât worry. I assure you that this matter will be investigated clearly. If the necklace isnât taken by you, certainly no one will sack you.â
Lillianâs beautiful face was as white as a sheet and was full of depression and disappointment. She shook her head repeatedly with tears streaming down her cheeks.
âItâs impossible. You guys will definitely sack me.â
After these words were uttered, the railing of the top floor in disrepair suddenly made a cracking sound. The rusty railing that was connected to the cement stone pier made an ear-piercing sound of friction, causing the onlookers to exclaim.
Hayden clenched her fists tightly.
âThings canât go on like that. Jeff, you talk to her to attract her attention. Just say something about her grandmother whoâs in her hometown, Iâll find a way to bring her down.â
After these words were uttered, with heart pounding violently, Hayden quietly approached Lillian from the edge while bending her body after Jeff started talking about Lillianâs grandmother in the hometown.
Jeffâs trembling voice echoed throughout the rooftop.
âLillian, your grandmotherâs health is not good and is still waiting for you to send her money every month. You shouldnât give up your life like this.â
â...â
Under the scorching sun, the sweats appeared on Haydenâs body and were evaporated quickly with each step moving forward. Through the gap in the railing, she could see that the fire brigade was already ready downstairs and they were urgently filling the airbag. From such a high position, even if there was the cushioning of the airbag, one would probably have a concussion upon falling.
Lillian seemed to be almost persuaded by Jeff and she was crying uncontrollably while giving a blood-curdling scream, âIf I lose my job, there is absolutely no way for me to send money to my grandmother. Iâm not like you guys, you guys can let people die with just a word and still think that it doesnât matter.â
She was so agitated that her hand that was holding the railing uncontrollably tightened. The railing kept producing âclang, clang, clangâ sounds and this made everyoneâs hearts leapt to their throats.
âClangâ. While the screams and shrieks were still on-going, the originally unstable railing finally collapsed. Lillianâs screams echoed throughout the sky.
The crowd at the scene drew in a cold breath and did not dare to look at what was happening.
âQuick, someone quickly comes...â Haydenâs shriek brought the crowd back to their senses.
At this moment, she was lying on the edge of the rooftop with one hand clinging to the stone pier while another hand successfully grabbed Lillianâs hand in the nick of time.
It was as if her arm was approximately a thousand pounds and with each second passed by, it was a torment to her. Hayden gritted her teeth and used up her last strength to blurt out three words, âquickly save herâ.
The crowd who regained their senses hurriedly came forward to pull up Lillian who had fainted due to fear. Hayden turned around and sat on the ground. She felt as if her arm was dislocated as it hurt so much that it was numb and she felt difficult to lift it.
âAre you still able to get up?â
A familiar voice sounded above her head.
Hayden was stunned for a moment. When she looked up, the sunlight was blinding but she could vaguely see Josephâs handsome face. A fair hand with rounded nails and slender fingers was reached out to her.
âWhy are you here?â
âThe reporters are having live downstairs, shouldnât I come? The fire-fighters are ready downstairs but you make such a heroic rescue. Are you thinking that the reputation of the hotel is not well-known enough?â
Josephâs voice was steady and clear. As always, he was indifferent, âAre you still able to stand up?â
The feeling of survival after a disaster was still lingering in Haydenâs mind. She could not distinguish how much concerns and cares did Joseph reveal in his tone. Hayden took a deep breath.
âIâll try.â
Just when the words were spoken, her body was suddenly lifted from the ground and she felt like the sky was spinning for a moment. Her entire body changed direction and she could finally see his face clearly when she no longer faced the sun. She could also hear his low, deep and cold voice.
âNo need to try.â
She did not shout and at that moment, she subconsciously wrapped Josephâs neck with her hands and was horizontally carried by him in his arms to leave the rooftop.
Was he crazy?
Joseph carried her in his arms all the way down the stairs into the elevator and out of the elevator. He carried her in his arms all the way into her office, ignoring the shocked gazes of everyone along the way.
After returning to the office, Haydenâs face already turned as red as an apple.
âYou, what are you doing?â
He threw her on the sofa in the office and his face was cold. He roughly clutched one of her hands that was moving, âHave you ever thought about the consequences if you didnât catch her just now or if you fell together with her?â
Under his questioning gaze, Hayden felt that her throat was clogged. It took her quite a while to be able to speak.

The worst case was that she would fell together with her on the airbag or something else.
âThis is the twentieth floor.â Josephâs face darkened even more.
How useful can the airbag be? Even if she did not die, she might get injured seriously.
Under his compelling gaze, Hayden felt an invisible pressure and inexplicably began to feel guilty as if she had done something wrong. She surprisingly did not dare to look into his eyes again, trying to change the subject.
âIsnât that Iâm fine? Iâm just contributing to the hotel. If I really have a glorious sacrifice, you guys will help me to take care of my daughter, right...
hmm...â
Before her words were completely uttered, Joseph kissed her lips. Her eyes widened and she stared in disbelief at his abruptly enlarged face in front of her. Her pupils could not focus anymore as the distance was too close. She could clearly feel Josephâs violent heartbeats.
