Leaping onto that rusted steel building was her only chance to escape, but it was clearly dilapidated, and she doubted it could withstand the impact of her jump. If the building collapsed, she would likely be crushed, her internal organs bleeding, meeting a gruesome end,

“Still not talking?” Liam continued to approach. “I’ll ask once more. Who sent you here?”

Clearly, Liam thought Emma had come to rescue Aria. Moreover, any stranger who stumbled upon Liam’s deeds would face a fate worse than death. “You have three seconds. Three, two, one.”

As he reached out to grab Emma, she leaped down. She was determined, even if it meant death, she had to escape; she couldn’t let Liam discover her deception

He was always sinister and suspicious, lacking a sense of security, hating lies and betrayal the most. Trust was the greatest luxury for him, and in the world, he trusted only Emma. He had given her all his trust. If he found out she had deceived him, his love for her would be over She didn’t want that to happen.

Before Emma jumped, a flicker of despair and resolute sorrow flashed in her eyes. It was unknown if it was a telepathic connection between them or not, Liam’s pupils shook violently upon seeing that look in her eyes.

That familiar feeling and expression are unique of my Emma… thought Liam.

Almost simultaneously, Liam instinctively reached out and grabbed her wrist tightly, just like that day he had held her in Watery Garden when she jumped from the cliff behind the mountain, nearly falling off the edge.

At that time, Liam had firmly grasped her wrist and shouted, “Hold on to mel”

But this time, Emma didn’t hold on to Liam’s hand. She bit down hard on the fleshy part of his hand, and he released her involuntarily due to

the pain.

She soon fell downward, landing with a thud on the ground. It was the second floor, not very high, but her landing posture was limited, and despite her curling up to cushion the fall, she still felt a burning pain in her spine.

Liam watched her escape into the night.

Two figures swiftly passed by Liam’s side; his subordinates were about to chase after Emma, but he stopped them. “No need to follow.”

“But her…” Liam’s subordinate was cut off before finishing the sentence.His gaze coldly swept over his men. “They’ve already arranged people around us; haven’t you noticed?”

The subordinates remained silent, ashamed. Indeed, without Liam’s reminder, they had not detected anything.
