Chapter 517 Coming in the Rain
"What's going on?"
Max couldn't help but ask.
Peter told him the whole story right away.
When he learned that the bridge was broken and Laura was hanging below, he froze furiously.
"So why are you standing here? Why don't you guys save her?"
Peter didn't know what to say.
"We tried to save her, but there's nothing we can do to help. I just called for help, but it's raining and it'll
take them at least twenty minutes to come from town. I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on that long."
Nicole cried in anxiety.
"Max, you must save Laura. You are almost omnipotent. You can figure out a way to save her, can't
you?"
Max's face turned livid.
"I'm not God. There are no tools here. What can I do?"
Their last hope was gone when they heard his words.
Just at that moment, there was a boom.
Thunder boomed in the sky.
Everyone was startled. Suddenly, they heard the sound of something snapping from below the cliff.
Someone shouted, "The rope is about to break!"
Everyone panicked and ran to the edge of the cliff.
The rope attached to the bridge was cracked because it was worn by sharp stones. It was probably
about to break.
"What do we do?"
Nicole shed tears of panic.
Max's face was gloomy. Suddenly, he turned his head and noticed a rope not far away.
"How long is that rope?"
Peter immediately knew what he wanted to do.
He frowned and said in a low voice, "It's raining so hard. It's not safe to go down with ropes. You could
easily fall. This is several hundred meters deep."
Max didn't listen to him. He only asked angrily, "I'm asking you how long the rope is!"
Peter was shocked by him. He took a step back and replied, "It's about 50 or 60 meters. The bridge is
40 meters long. It should be enough."
Max didn't say anything else. He turned his head coldly and walked to the rope. He took off his wet
jacket and began to wrap the rope around his waist.
"Max!"
"Max, what are you doing?!"
The rich men who came with him were stunned.
They all knew what he wanted to do.
They had known Max for so long. They knew that Max had always loved beautiful women, but they
didn't expect him to do this for love.
He was going down with a rope in such heavy rain. He was risking his neck.
A close friend of Max's immediately tried to talk him out of this, "Max, you really don't have to do this.
Miss Davies is indeed a beautiful woman, but the rescue team will be here soon, won't they? You really
don't have to go down yourself."
Max looked at the man coldly, "Can't you see the rope is about to break? Do you think she can possibly
hold on for another 20 minutes?"
The man was speechless.
Another man also said,
"Max, this is so not you. You don't even know her well. Don't risk your life for her."
Max sneered.
He sounded arrogant as if what he was saying was something to be bragged about.
"Who says I don't know her well?"
Everyone was confused.
Max glanced coldly at his so-called friends and said, "She owes me money. How can she pay me back
if she dies?"
"..."
Everyone was silent. Mr. Nixon was too capricious.
Max ignored them. He wrapped the rope around his waist and handed the other end to Peter.
"Have a few strong people hold onto it. If anything happens, you'll all be in big trouble. Got it?"
Peter freaked out when he knew Max was going down himself. He would say yes of course?
He said with difficulty, "Max, are you sure about this? I can't be responsible if something happens to
you."
Max was the second son of the Nixon family, the descendant of one of the four families. If something
really happened to him here, not to mention Peter, even these rich men who came with him today
couldn't get away with it.
The Nixon family would surely kill them.
Max sneered.
"So hold onto the rope, OK?"
Peter didn't dare to say anything else and could only nod his head.
Nicole was happy to know that Laura would be saved and grabbed the other end of the rope at once.
She encouraged Max, "Max, don't worry. I won't let go even if everyone else does. I won't let you guys
fall."
Max looked mad all of a sudden.
He glared at Nicole.
What was she talking about?
If everyone else let go, what was the point of her holding on alone?
She was so thin. Maybe she would be dragged down.
When the rich men heard Nicole's words, they understood the situation.
Max was determined to go down. In their view, he was just taking a risk for a beautiful actress.
Nothing would happen to him, so they had to take this opportunity to please him.novelbin
So they also grabbed the rope and said firmly, "Max, don't worry. We will definitely pull you guys up."
"Yes, you and your woman will be fine."
"Your woman"... Peter and the others froze a moment.
Max nodded expressionlessly, gripped the rope, and went down the cliff.
At this moment.
Laura just felt like a kite hanging from a tree that could be torn apart by the storm at any moment.
She was on her period, so not only did her arms hurt, but even her belly ached from the cold rain.
Just when Laura thought she couldn't hold on, she vaguely saw a person slowly climbing down.
The heavy rain blurred the scene in front of her. She only felt the man approaching her in the rain like a
hero against all odds.
She froze and opened her mouth to make a sound, but she didn't say anything.
She was hoarse and couldn't say anything at all.
