CHAPTER 169

Chapter 169 Jumping off the Building

The person had a tan complexion.

Emelie was stunned. “You”

He seemed to be a worker from the site. He asked in a low tone, “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine, what about you?” Are you okay? Thanks for saving me. What’s your name?” Emelie quickly asked

His shoulder was injured. Someone had already called for the doctor while the others helped him out.

Emelie was still in shock, and the others were asking her if she was fine.

william stood not far away.

He saw the steel rod coming down and took a few hurried steps back, but he was too far away to intervene. He recalled a similar incident at the cultural heritage boat factory, where about came crashing down

Back then, he had actually caught a glimpse of Emelie moving to pull him out of harm’s way. But at that moment, he had lunged toward Daphne.

He didn’t think much of it at the time. But now, observing from the sidelines and considering Emelie’s reaction, she could’ve easily avoided the boat. She only didn’t because she went to pull him away.

Just like the incident this time, she could’ve dodged the steel rod, but she chose to push Patricia out of harm’s way first

This time, she was protected by a worker and escaped injury. However, her leg was injured back then, and she took a month to recover

Suddenly, William felt a discomfort he couldn’t quite place.

This woman was seemingly intelligent, yet so foolish. Clearly capable of avoiding harm herself, yet willing to get hurt for others. Was she trying to be the hero?

Patricia was crying because she twisted her ankle in her heels. William hurried over and scooped her up in his arms.

As Emelie turned her head, she caught sight of William carrying Patricia away.

She also heard murmurs from the crowd. “Don’t you think Mr. Middleton treats Ms. May differently?”

“I’ve noticed that for a while. Otherwise, why would be concern himself with her? It’s not just Ms. May who got hurt here.”

Due to this accident, work for the day had to be temporarily halted.

Emelie was uninjured and didn’t want to rest. After all, the sooner she finished documenting, the sooner she could wrap up work and return to Capebutt City. Thus, she stayed alone at the base to record

By the time she finished, it was already dark outside, although it was only five in the afternoon.

Winter days were usually short

Emelle walked to the rooftop, gazing at the myriad of lights below.

In the distance, there was a circular interchange. The street lights twinkled, and the traffic on the bridge resembled golden dots converging back and forth. Lost in thought, Emelie suddenly leaped off the edge.

Out of nowhere, a figure appeared and grabbed Emelle’s hand just in time,

Emelle raised an eyebrow.

The man realized there was a large platform below, so there was no danger at all.

Realizing he’d been fooled, he panicked. He was about to let go of Emelle and flee, but she grabbed his wrist, preventing his escape.

Emehe had that familiar feeling of being watched again. She knew that the person was nearby. That was why she used this method to hire the person out. Now that she had caught him, she had to find out who he was.

She immediately reached for the man’s mask, but he instinctively covered it. Missing her target, Emelie swiftly went for the camera slung over his shoulder! The man wrestled Emelie’s hand away. “Stop!”

Emelie gripped the camera tightly and glaced at him. “Who are you? Why are you following me and taking pictures of me?”

The man didn’t answer. Instead, he tried to snatch the camera back.

Emelie took a few quick steps back. “If you keep this up, I’ll really jump!”

The platform had no guardrails, and she was already close to the edge. That night’s wind was strong enough to blow someone off a tall building.

The man hesitated, not daring to make any sudden moves. “Okay, okay, I won’t just come here!”

If something happened to her, how would he explain himself?
