Captive Hearts: The Tycoon's Ugly Bride novel Chapter 85

Chapter 85 I'll Jump

Louis looked up and saw Blanche nervously biting her tender lip, her slender legs trembling uncontrollably.

He narrowed his elongated eyes.

"Fine! Release her immediately, and I'll jump."

Blanche's ears twitched. "What? Did I mishear? Is he going to jump off the cliff to save me?" she wondered.

The villain immediately became excited. "Really? Then hurry up and jump!"

"Don't come any closer! Even though you promised to jump off the cliff, you can't approach me. Stop!"

Seeing Louis still approaching them, the villain panicked and quickly pulled Blanche back. The anger on Louis' face was overwhelming, and even with Blanche as a hostage, the villain still couldn't keep his calm.

"You let her go first. I've examined the terrain here, and ahead is the most dangerous part of the cliff. If I jump from there, I will undoubtedly die," Louis said, raising a finger and pointing to the cliff edge next to the villain and Blanche.

"No way. After you jump, I will release her."

No one would believe such words. Even Blanche, who was terrified and at a loss, wouldn't believe it. If Louis jumped, she would be killed immediately.

"Don't come any closer. Just jump right there."

Louis didn't listen at all but continued to approach. The villain became even more panicked and hurriedly pulled Blanche back.

With a bang, the villain suddenly stumbled on a rock behind him. Both the villain and Blanche fell to the ground. Seeing this, Louis immediately rushed over and pulled Blanche up to retreat.

The villain quickly got up, but it was too late. Blanche had already been saved. He was filled with despair and anger, his eyes wide open, and he raised his knife and lunged forward.

"I'll fight it out with you."

Louis kicked the knife out of the villain's hand. With a crack, the villain clutched his arm and howled in pain. The kick had dislocated his arm.

Louis finally had time to glance at the frightened Blanche. However, the villain picked up the knife and pounced on them again the next second.

"Watch out!"

The sharp tip of the knife came straight at Blanche as if piercing through her eye.

Louis hurriedly wrapped his arms around Blanche's waist, and at the critical moment, they managed to avoid the knife. However, in their haste, both of them lost their balance. Although they managed to dodge the blade, they were standing too close to the cliff. Then both of them tumbled off the mountain cliff.

A scream echoed through the valley.

...

As dusk fell, Blanche felt her shoulders being pushed and pulled. She groggily opened her eyes, feeling aching pain all over her body.
