“That means... We would be delivering ourselves right into their hands if we leave?” Alex inhaled sharply.
Sean pressed his lips together. “Yeah. Our kidnapping plan was flawless. I just didn't expect Shane's rescue plan to
be flawless as well.”
““Then, what shall we do now?” Alex asked helplessly.
Sean remained silent. He quickly looked around before he saw the cliff not far behind him.
His gaze was downcast for a brief moment. Then, without hesitation, he dragged Natalie to the cliff.
“Director, what are you doing?” Alex gaped at him.
On top of the gun to her head, Natalie's limbs were still bound together so she was unable to turn to look at what
was behind.
All she thought was that he was trying to hide.
On the helicopter, Shane and Silas' expression changed drastically upon seeing Sean's actions.
“Mr. Shane... Is he thinking of jumping over the cliff with madam?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShane snatched over the microphone to the broadcast system and shouted, “Sean Thompson! What the hell are
you doing?”
Sean did not stop in his tracks and continued moving in the direction of the cliff. Upon reaching, he looked up at
them and chuckled in a maniacal manner. “I'm sure you guys know what I'm planning to do.”
“You said that you would let madam go as long as we allow you to escape. Now that we've fulfilled our end of the
bargain, why are you bringing her to jump off the cliff?”
Jump off the cliff?
Natalie now knew what he planned to do. Her eyes widened in surprise as she shook her head in terror.
Feeling her squirm, Sean pinched her shoulder. He eerily warned, “Don't you dare move. Otherwise, I'll kill you
first.”
Her body stiffened.
Sean then looked up again and stared at Shane and his assistant. “That's what you guys say but obviously you think
I'm too dumb to know that it's just a ruse. I know that once I leave, you'll be waiting to capture me at the foot of the
hill.”
Silas gaped. “Mr. Shane! He knows.”
Shane kept mum and continued peering back at Sean with a sullen look.
A smile remained plastered on Sean's face. “Even if you don't catch me now, I know you, Shane Thompson. You'll
do everything it takes to seek revenge. No matter what I do, the end result is the same. I might as well plummet to
my death with your wife, so we'll breathe our last together.”
“How dare you!” muttered Shane through gritted teeth.
At that, he laughed even louder. “You'll just have to see.”
With that, he leapt backwards with Natalie in tow.
Jump off the cliff?
Natalie now knew what he planned to do. Her eyes widened in surprise as she shook her head in terror.
Undoubtedly, they both fell off the cliff just like that.

Luckily, Silas noticed and pulled him back. “Mr. Shane, you can't do that! You're not wearing any parachuting gear.
This plunge would be fatal!”
Although he was shocked that Sean would actually jump down the cliff with Natalie, he knew it was beyond his
control. He would not be able to save her life.
However, he could save Shane's life.
Shane leapt to his feet and commanded the pilot, “Quickly! Fly over this instant.”
The head pilot then snapped out of his trance and flew over.
Alas, the cliff was way too high. It was all foggy at the bottom. No matter how low they went, they could not see
anything.
At this moment, Shane's heart sank.
Silas nervously gulped and muttered, “They didn't have any equipment on them. The fall must be...”
Though he trailed off mid-sentence, everyone was fully aware of what he meant.
Shane clamped his fists together and turned to Silas with red-rimmed eyes. “Contact the search and rescue team
right away. We must find Natalie!”
“Yes!” Silas dialed them immediately.
