Chapter 2073 Confrontation

The nearest police officer was approximately ten meters away from the worker. Upon hearing those words, the police officer hesitated to approach any closer.

The police understood that the worker was likely afraid of dying, which explained why he was straddling the railing.

As long as the worker didn’t let go, he wouldn’t lose his life.

Therefore, the police also utilized the worker’s blind spots to gradually move closer.

Before Elisa arrived, the police had informed her that her main objective was to capture the worker’s attention. However, she had to ensure that he didn’t become overly emotional, as it could result in him. accidentally falling off the building or committing suicide due to anxiety.

Initially, the person intending to jump off the building remained quite calm.

However, upon seeing Elisa, he became agitated. “Don’t you dare move! This is all because of you! My entire family can’t receive any money, and my wife is even deceased. You speak so righteously on TV, but what’s the reality? You’re just putting on a show! You’ve gained a good reputation, but what about us? Aren’t we human too? Don’t our lives matter?”

The jumper began to angrily strike the railing, clearly becoming highly agitated.

Over at Gareth’s location, simply listening was enough to accelerate his heartbeat.

Elisa frowned, and a nearby police officer gave her a look, signaling her to calm the person’s emotions.

Elisa nodded slightly, indicating that she understood.

Elisa directed her gaze towards the person about to jump off the building, attempting to make her voice. sound as composed as possible.

“All of my money has been sent out. I witnessed the transfer and confirmed that it reached the account, so there can’t be any mistake. If you haven’t received the money, either you shouldn’t have received it, or you’re attempting to deceive me. So, if you want to cause a scene, go ahead. It has nothing to do with me. I can easily provide the transfer records,” she said.

Perhaps that person didn’t anticipate Elisa having such an attitude. He was taken aback, his eyes widening. struggling to articulate anything. Why is this different from the script? Shouldn’t Elisa be humbly begging me at this moment?

Observing his stunned reaction, Elisa realized that this was the turning point of the situation. If Gareth and I are correct, then this laborer has made up his mind to jump. He didn’t plan on returning unharmed this time. His death would cause chaos. When the time comes, as long as it’s propagated that Benett Corporation is involved in a scandal, the truth of the matter won’t truly matter to anyone. His death might even earn his family a substantial sum of money. However, he can’t die just yet. At the very least, he needs to confront me before his demise. He needs to create an illusion of communication breakdown so that people won’t find his death too suspicious.

Elisa’s assertive approach from the beginning left the other party completely bewildered.

Elisa seized the opportunity. “If you genuinely want to have a proper conversation with me, then allow me to come a bit closer.

The wind here is too strong, and I can’t clearly hear what you’re saying”

The person hesitated, a conflicted expression crossing his face.

On the phone, Gareth likely understood what Elisa intended to do, feeling both anxious and helpless.

He couldn’t help but wish he were there in person.

If he were present, he could at least handle dangerous situations on her behalf.

He could also prevent Elisa from taking such a risky action.

However, there was no point in entertaining such thoughts.

He clenched his teeth, managing to suppress his objections.

During moments like these, he couldn’t disturb Elisa, nor could he distract her.

Elisa stood motionless, her gaze fixed on the jumper, engaged in a standoff with him.

It was a psychological battle. She was also taking a gamble. I hope I don’t lose.

After a while, the person said, “Alright. You can come over, but you can’t get too close. Also, you need to remove your earpiece.”
