Chapter 394 He Had Always Hated Being Threatened!
As soon as Bianca arrived at T Corporation, she heard someone shouting anxiously in the lobby on thefirst floor. "Oh no! Someone is going to jump off the rooftop of Building C! It's Giovan Sonny, thatbusiness owner! Someone, help!”
Bianca's face turned pale in an instant. She wanted to follow the person out, but she noticed Luke.
"Mr. Sonny, that business owner, he's trying to kill himself at the rooftop of Building C now..." Biancablurted. Her mind was blank.
Luke grabbed Bianca's wrist and said resolutely. "I know the whole story, don't worry. I'll deal with it.Don't go there."
He was afraid that Giovan, in his panic, would hurt innocent people, including Bianca.
"I promise I won't be in the way. Let's go over there now. It'll be bad if the situation worsens," Biancasaid.
Luke saw that time was running out. He had no choice but to take Bianca with him.
T Corporation had four buildings, A, B, C, and D.
Luke's office was in Building A, and Giovan was going to jump off Building C. Fortunately, the twobuildings were not too far apart.
Under Building C, countless reporters were taking pictures with their long lenses and DSLRs, policeofficers were maintaining order, and there was a huge crowd of onlookers.
The firefighters had deployed an airbag.
Luke took Bianca into the CEO's personal elevator, went all the way to the top floor, and stepped out ofthe rooftop terrace.
Giovan was a middle-aged man with an elegant face. He had lost his beloved wife and child in the fire.
At that moment, he looked very sad. His unshaved beard made him look haggard.
He dangled both of his legs beyond the ledge. One wrong move, and he would be a pancake on theground.
Giovan yelled out loud, "Get Luke Crawford here! Where is Luke? Get him out right now!"
When Bianca saw Giovan might topple over anytime, she got anxious and wanted to go forward topersuade him. However, Luke held her back. "Did you forget what you promised me? Leave this to me.Don’t go there!"
Bianca was so anxious that she was beading cold sweat. "We don’t have time to reason with him! He'svery emotional right now, and if he accidentally falls, another life will be lost in this tragedy. Let me goover to persuade him and get him to come down from the terrace before we continue talking..."
Til go!' Luke said imperiously.novelbin
Bianca could only take a step back and give some space for Luke.
Luke walked onto the terrace. The T Corporation employees around him were relieved to see him.
They shouted at Giovan, "Mr. Sonny, Mr. Crawford is here! If you have anything to say, you can tell him!Mr. Crawford will help you!” "Yes, Mr. Sonny, come down quickly! It’s too dangerous there!"
When Giovan saw Luke coming, he became even more agitated and his legs moved a little closer tothe edge. Everyone there was scared.
Giovan cried in abject despair as if he was abandoned by the whole world.
While crying, he cursed Luke, "Luke Crawford! You heartless developer! I’ve spent tens of millions tobuy the high-end residence, Greenview Regalia, developed by your company, T Corporation! Whoknew that the fire protection facilities and the property management were so bad. My wife and childrenwere killed in the fire... Now they're all gone! Since you ruined my family, I also want to ruin yourreputation!" "Mr. Sonny, all the media and reporters are under the office building right now. If you wantto be tomorrow’s news headline and jump down, I won't stop you! Do you think that if you threaten mewith death now, you’ll be able to get what you want?" Luke said cold.
"If you jump down, you will definitely die, and you'll be so disfigured beyond recognition. That indeedwill be troublesome and enough to keep me busy for a while, but then what? I just need to pull somestrings and this whole issue will blow over. This incident will barely leave a dent in the reputation of TCorporation. And you? Not only your wife and children will not be avenged, but you'll also even loseyour life! If you want to jump, then jump!"
Bianca could not believe what she just heard.
Luke did not show any sympathy to that person. Instead, he provoked him with such cruel words!Bianca had enough!
'Giovan is on the brink of a breakdown. Does Luke really want to provoke him to jump?*
Bianca cautiously and softly persuaded, "Don't listen to him, Mr. Sonny. If you jump from here, you'lldie. Your body won’t even be intact. Just come down from the ledge first, okay? You have hope as longas you live. Don't you want to avenge your wife and child? Don't you want to see the murderer whokilled them brought to justice? Let Mr. Crawford know if you have any conditions. Please come off theledge, alright?"
Giovan glanced at Bianca. Before he could speak, he heard Luke speak indifferently, "Who do youthink you are, Ms. Rayne? Do you think that you can make decisions for T Corporation's topmanagement?"
Gentle persuasion might have worked better than direct provocation on a man who was about to killhimself.
Luke had never allowed anyone to threaten him through words. He wanted to start a negotiation withGiovan so that both parties would be satisfied.
However, that did not mean that Giovan could take the opportunity to threaten him.
He had always hated being threatened!
Bianca was exasperated, but she persisted, "Mr. Crawford, are you really going to let Mr. Sonny die?Hasn't he suffered enough?" "He’s not the only person in the world deserving of pity!” "But you've goneoverboard! Don't you have any mercy in you, Luke?"
The employees of T Corporation were taken aback.
Bianca was the only one who dared to speak like that.
They were there to help Giovan, but why were the president and Bianca arguing between themselvesinstead?
The other people noticed that Giovan was distracted. They wanted to take the opportunity to pull himoff the ledge. Giovan noticed what they were trying to do, and he suddenly lost his balance!
"Ah!" He let out a horrific yelp and fell off the building!
Bianca was standing the closest to him. She ignored everything and stretched out her hand at the mostcrucial moment! She managed to latch onto Giovan's falling body, but his weight pulled her over theledge!
