Connor spoke in a laid-back tone, "I took her up to the rooftop of the Sartori Tower... and pushed her off."

His words were so casual that Chloe didn't grasp them at first. She took a sip of pear cider and then snapped her head up. "What?"

Connor was still calmly eating his pasta. He had a certain grace about him, eating slowly and neatly, even taking a moment to wipe a splash of sauce off the table with a napkin. He looked effortlessly elegant.

"Did you really push her?" Chloe asked, her heart skipping a beat.

Connor simply nodded. Chloe knew the Sartori Tower had safety nets, so Diana wasn't in mortal danger. But Diana didn't know that. The moment Connor pushed her, it was as if he meant to kill her. Such fear, even if unfounded, would stay with her forever. "What happened to her?" Chloe pressed.

"I had the Gilbert family come get her. She's not going to die," Connor replied.

Though she wouldn't die, the psychological blow was immense. Being pushed off a rooftop without warning was like experiencing death itself. The shock and fear were something one never forgets.

"So, making her feel the fear of death was your idea of punishment?"

Connor shrugged, "It's the beginning, maybe even the end."

"What do you mean?"
