Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 263

His arm was barely off Mamie’s neck when the guy seemed to snap back to reality, yelling, "You tricked me! She wouldn't have agreed!"

He immediately grabbed Mamie's hand again.

Just then, Jared lunged forward, knocking the gun out of the man's hand.

The criminal lost his balance, fell backwards and, as luck would have it, grabbed Mamie’s skirt.

Mamie was yanked with such force that she fell backwards as well.

Quick on his feet, Jared rushed over and caught Mamie as the criminal plummeted from the top of the Century Building and vanished from sight.

Mamie was left dangling in mid-air. Jared, sprawled on the ground, managed to grip her hand, but his body was sliding forward due to gravity, and his upper body was already at the edge of the rooftop.

Agnes had been slowly making her way over. After the event, she rushed over and grabbed one of Jared's legs, and yelled, "Help! Quick!"

Everyone around pitched in, and together they pulled the two back up.

No one had expected things to take such a turn.

That had been one hell of a close call.

Once back on solid ground, Mamie was in a daze. The normally haughty woman was now shaking like a leaf.

She had just witnessed the criminal fall hundreds of meters from the building to his death.

Now, assistants and other staff were flocking around her, asking if she was okay.

"Mamie, are you alright? We were so worried about you."

"Mamie, it's over. Everything will be okay."

While everyone was comforting her, Jared was patting Mamie's shoulder, "Mamie, speak! Look at me! Look at me!"
