Chapter 261 âYou lunatic! Let me go!â Mamie was seething with anger, struggling furiously.
But the guy suddenly went ballistic, stumbling a few steps closer to the edge of the roof. Mamie almost lost her footing.
âIf you donât agree to be with me, weâll jump together, he threatened. âIf we canât be together in life, weâll be together in death!â
Mamie had a fear of heights. She glanced down and let out a shriek Nobody dared to intervene. The cops and the negotiators were still nowhere in sight The guy had a gun and seemed mentally unstable. Even the security guards didnât dare to get too close. Everyone kept their distance.
But Mamie had already pissed him off. The situation was spiraling out of control.
Just then, Jared burst to the front.
He loudly declared, âEven if you jump now with her, sheâd end up in heaven and you, a bloody murderer, would end up in hell.
You still wouldnât be together. You have got to survive because thatâs the only way you have a chance. Anything can happen?
The guy seemed stunned by Jaredâs words, then had an epiphany. He looked at Jared with hopeful eyes, âThen tell me what should I do? How can I get Mamie to marry me? I love her so much, I canât live without her, I just canât.â
Jared slowly walked towards him, appearing very calm.
He extended a hand to the guy, âCome down first, and Iâll tell you. I promiseâ
The guy seemed to hesitate.
One hand held the gun, the other was around Mamieâs neck.
Mamieâs face completely changed when she saw Jared.
She didnât dare to speak out, just shook her head vigorously.
But Jared was still getting closer to them.
The guy still seemed unsure. He turned to look at Mamie, noticing her tear-streaked face and complex expression.
When she looked at him, her face was filled with disgust, as if she were looking at garbage. But when she looked at Jared, her eyes were full of warmth, even Sympathy The guy reacted instantly, tightening his grip on Mamieâs neck.
He shot at Jared and shouted, âYouâre a liar! You two know each other, donât you? I remember now, youâre Jared, the CEO of the Tim Group, and Mamieâs longtime boyfriend. When Mamie proposed to you at Dragon Bay years ago, I was there. You actually rejected her, you rejected the most beautiful woman in the world.â As the gunshot rang out, everyone retreated away in fear, leaving a large circle around them.
âJared!â Both Mamie and Agnes screamed Jaredâs name almost simultaneously Agnes rushed forward, her heart pounding, âAre you hurt? Where are you hurt?â
âIâm fine.â Jared responded. The shot had missed him.
Tears welled up in Agnesâ eyes.
Jared calmly said, âYou need to leave,â
Agnes shook her head, âIâm not leaving. Iâm staying with you.â
Mamie also shouted, âYou go back! Everybody get out of here! Heâs a madman. Jared, you need to go.â
