Chapter 525 The Goad

“What are you saying, Michael?”

I walked to his side and looked at him disapprovingly, upset with the things he said. While we were all struggling to find a way to save Janette, he, conversely, was pushing her to jump.

Michael merely continued onward in Janette’s direction. In spite of me expressing in no uncertain terms how I felt about that, he did not even look my way.

“If you really want to jump, then stop wasting everybody’s time. Go on and get it over with. There wouldn’t even be a chance for you to be resuscitated if you jump from here, so I’d have your funeral arrangements seen to. As far as this goes, you’ll have nothing to worry about.”

Michael remained as poker-faced as ever as he spoke, and there was a sliver of impatience in his tone.

As opposed to comforting her, Michael instead urged her to jump down as soon as possible. That really took Janette by surprise. She was quite stunned for a moment before she responded with some anger.

“You! You’re really too much! Are you looking forward to seeing me die so that Anna would become my mother’s only daughter? So that you could both hoard my mother’s assets all for yourselves?” said Janette as she seethed at Michael.

“Clever. Were you to pass on, Anna would become the only heir to your mother’s immense empire. All of it would become hers, while all that you’d be is a pile of ashes.”

Michael’s lips lifted into a sardonic smirk while he moved in on Janette once more.

So consumed by her own rage, Janette failed to realize how close Michael had gotten to her.

“If you don’t have to guts to jump, why don’t I give you a hand?”

When Michael reached Janette, he extended his hands as though he meant to push her off.

That set Janette into a panic. Shrieking and screaming, she leaped the other way and was aptly caught inside Michael’s arms.
