Chapter 97
Jadie stood next to Forrest and glanced at him. He only wore a black short-sleeved shirt.
“Aren’t you cold? You should wear the jacket instead!”
“I’m not cold. You wear it,” he said.
Claire stood next to Jadie and lightly bumped her arm, “Jadie, are you two dating? That was quick!”
Jadie said shyly, “Stop! We’re just friends.”
“You call this just friends? Stop lying!”
Meanwhile, Alex rolled her
eyes.
‘She’s so damn good at pretending,’ she thought.
Ajax noticed the odd atmosphere and quickly said, “The weather is so lousy! We finally got togetherafter a while, and now it’s raining. The heavens are being so rude!”
“Rude? Who do you think you are, calling the heavens rude?! You’re gonna get struck by lightning,”Alex said.
The group burst into laughter.
“No way! None of us brought an umbrella. When’s it going to stop raining?”
“Who knows?”
“Hey, do you guys hear that? I think someone’s calling for help.”
“Calling for help? Are you sure you’re not hallucinating?”
“No. I really do hear someone shouting. Listen, Forrest…”novelbin
Everyone quickly fell silent. They seemed to really hear someone calling out for help amidst the soundsof the rain. There were also the voices of several men.
Forrest’s gaze turned icy. The person’s voice clearly echoed again in the back alley, “Help! Is thereanybody…”
“You stupid bitch! Where do you think you’re going?!”
Ajax quickly recognized the voice, “Shit! That voice is clearly Rogan and the gang. They’re clearlytrying to force themselves onto a woman.”
“Alex, doesn’t this woman’s voice sound like that girl who just came and talked back at you?”
Forrest said, “I knew Rogan was a no-good scumbag. That girl just turned of age… Forrest, should wego check it out?”
Forrest casually fished out a cigarette from his pocket and held it under his nose. He sniffed it and said,“Since when were you all so nosy?”
Jadie said hesitantly, “Forrest, why did I hear Madelyn’s voice? She… Is she also here?”
Forrest lowered his head and looked at her with a smile, “That’s none of your concern. Alex, you allstay here and wait while Ajax and I go buy umbrellas. This rain is going to last a while. We don’t wantyou catching a cold when you get back.”
Then, Forrest walked off into the rain with Ajax, the red-haired guy, the green-haired guy,
and the rest.
After walking for a while, the few realized they were going the wrong way.
“Forrest, the convenience store is that way. We’re headed in the wrong direction.”
Forrest stood in the rain with reddened eyes, “Say another word, and I’ll stick an umbrella into yourmouth when we get home.”
The three of them exchanged glances and obediently trailed behind Forrest without saying anotherword. The current situation was clear.
The green-haired guy shouted, “Forrest, guys, look! The girl’s up there.”
Forrest followed his gaze.
The rain did not look like it was going to stop at all. It was dark, so all they could see was a darkexpanse of the sea with raging waves, and Madelyn, who stood by the cliff, had nowhere to
run.
She was forced to the edge of the cliff, which had sharp, craggy rocks below it. If she were to fall off thecliff and get swept away by the waves, there would be no chance of survival.
“Oh no! Mr. Jardin, Ms. Jent is being forced to jump into the sea.”
At that moment, there was a black Audi parked on the bridge that spanned across the sea. Its highbeams were on as the person in the car observed the events happening down below.
“Fred, what do you think? Will she dare to jump or not?”
Fred Turner was Zach’s loyal subordinate.
“I don’t know, but if we don’t intervene, something’s going to happen to Ms. Jent.’
Zach mockingly tapped his fingers on the steering wheel as soft, slow music played in the car,
