Chapter: 644

The men chasing her were so focused that they didn’t notice the upcoming hazard.

Right when they were about to grab her, she increased her pace, ignoring the pain in her foot. She

dashed to the edge of the balcony and, without any hesitation, took the plunge!

Jack, who was close behind, couldn’t react in time. He fell straight over the edge. A heavy thud broke

the silence of the night. Jack didn’t even have time to scream. It wasn’t clear if he was dead or

unconscious.

Ariana, on the other hand, managed to cling onto the edge of the balcony, her body dangling over the

small platform. There was no time to catch her breath, let alone feel relieved. Sweating profusely, she

looked up to find Mike standing at the edge of the platform. His quick reflexes had saved him from

falling. Ariana felt a sinking feeling in her heart. The danger wasn’t over yet.

Mike managed to steady himself at the edge of the platform, watching Jack’s fall with wide-eyed shock.

A cold sweat broke out as he considered how narrowly he’d avoided the same fate. His fear quickly

turned to fury as he locked eyes with Ariana, who was clinging onto the balcony’s edge.

Ariana found herself hanging outside the balcony, her heart sinking as she saw Mike glaring down at

her. She cursed inwardly, her mind racing.

Unsure of what Mike would do next, Ariana clenched her eyes shut, bracing herself.

In that brief moment of darkness, she saw flashes of a familiar face.

“Theodore—” she murmured, her voice shaking. A single tear trickled down her cheek as she

whispered his name.

Suddenly, a voice called out. “Ariana!”

She opened her eyes, her heart fluttering. It couldn’t be— but then, the sound of approaching footsteps

confirmed her hopes.

It was Theodore!

Too tired to respond, Ariana focused all her energy on holding onto the balcony edge. Her hand,

already wounded, ached with the strain.

Mike, hearing the commotion, knew that Ariana’s rescue was near. A murderous rage filled his eyes as

he drew a knife, intending to take Ariana down with him asa twisted act of revenge.

This woman was a great pain in the ass. He couldn’t let go of her so easily! Even if he had to die, he

would make sure that she’ll go with him to hell.

Bang!

But then, a gunshot rang out. The bullet found its mark in Mike’s shoulder, making him wince in pain.

His knife missed Ariana, skimming past her.

Theodore sprinted towards them. As he took in the sight of Ariana’s hand sliding from the edge of the

balcony, a sharp pang of fear pierced his heart. He needed to get to her, fast. ©

Racing to the scene, Theodore made a desperate leap, just managing to grab Ariana as her hand

slipped from the balcony. It was a narrow escape from tragedy.

Horace and the others, trailing behind, sprung into action to assist, finally managing to pull Ariana to

safety.

At the sight of Theodore, exhaustion took hold of Ariana, both physically and emotionally.

Catching sight of the panic on Theodore’s face, she opened her mouth to speak but was enveloped in

his arms before she could utter a word.
