Her lips trembled. At this moment, she really wished she were unconscious like Marcus, so she wouldn’t have to clearly feel everything. A slight sound came, and she instantly felt like she had fallen from a tall building, scared her into closing her eyes and clenching her teeth tightly. The rope finally stopped, then slowly started pulling upwards. She breathed a sigh of relief, forcing back the tears at the corners of her eyes. "Miss Hollis, are you okay?" Time was too rushed, and they could only prepare these simple things, otherwise, she wouldn’t be so scared. Eleanor Hollis shook her head, her face pale, and turned to look at Marcus. At this time, Marcus was waking up, opening his eyes in a daze. Eleanor was both amused and exasperated, but it was good that he woke up now. At least he didn’t have to experience such a terrifying scene. Lan Yancy, seeing that both were okay, finally felt the weight in his heart easing, and then made a phone call to Hugo Quinn. At this moment, Alice Warren was still confronting Hugo Quinn, completely unaware that the two had been rescued. Besides, all she could see here were two ropes. Hugo Quinn, hearing this sentence from the phone, glanced coolly at Alice Warren. Alice was still immersed in the joy of fifty million, never imagining that it was just a delaying tactic by them. Soon, the police opened the door to the rooftop. "What are you doing?!" Seeing so many police officers, Alice immediately placed the knife on the two ropes. "Hugo Quinn, make them back off immediately, or I’ll cut the ropes right now and send the woman and child you love straight to hell!!" Alice, who had just calmed down for a moment, began to go wild again. But Hugo didn’t care about her at all and turned around to leave. Alice gritted her teeth, intending to cut the ropes and end it all, but saw the ropes lying limp, empty on the other side for a long time. She felt a chill in her heart, realizing at last that Hugo had deceived her, actually deceived her... "Hugo Quinn! I won’t even let you go as a ghost!" She screamed angrily as she tried to run a few steps to jump off the building, but the police acted faster and grabbed her legs instantly. "Let go of me! Let go!" She hung in midair, legs kicking desperately, but was still dragged up. The cold handcuffs shackled her wrists, and she was trembling all over. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝕟𝕖𝕥 Hugo Quinn, Eleanor Hollis, those bastards, actually deceived her! She was too agitated, during the struggle leaving many scratches on the officers’ faces, so she had to be taken away by taser. Downstairs, Hugo Quinn had already come to Eleanor Hollis’s side, and seeing she was okay, he held her tightly in his arms. Seeing her being pushed down, he really wanted to jump down with no regard for anything. His voice was hoarse, his eyes bloodshot. Marcus looked up, realizing he was indeed out of favor. Daddy used to cherish him the most. But he was very happy because he really liked this mommy. Alice Warren was escorted out of the office, and many saw it, starting to gossip. But at this time, Alice was in a state of madness, unable to listen to a single word, cursing continuously. "Do you think Alice was incited by someone?" Eleanor Hollis suddenly asked. After all, Alice had disappeared from the company for so long, why seek revenge now, and even involve Marcus this time. "Maybe. But as much as she hates us now, we probably won’t get anything out of questioning her." Eleanor nodded, patting her chest with residual fear. Just now was the most thrilling moment of her life; even now, her legs felt weak. "Let’s go, go back and rest." Hugo Quinn held her hand, and with the other hand, led Marcus as they headed downstairs. The people who had been driven out of the office gradually started returning, vaguely able to guess what had just happened. But Lan Yancy had instructed in advance to forbid gossiping, so no matter what they knew, they could only swallow it. When they got home, Eleanor was still unable to hold on and developed a high fever, feeling sore and weak all over. "Still thirty-nine degrees, take this medicine first." Hugo placed a few pills in his palm, eyes full of worry. Eleanor’s lips were pale as she took the medicine and swallowed it down. Hugo placed the cup of water in her hand, and then the phone rang. The caller said Old Master Ford suddenly visited the Quinton Family and needed him to go back once. "It’s probably about Claire Shaw. I need to explain clearly; I won’t meet her again. You have a good rest." He got up, grabbing the suit jacket beside him. Eleanor didn’t even have the strength to say goodbye, nodded, and curled back into the bed. As Hugo left the house and got into the car, his brows tightly knitted. Old Master Ford was hard to deal with and had always doted on Claire Shaw since childhood. Claire Shaw was very famous in the Serenford high society circle; she was beautiful, from a good family, and talented. In every aspect, she was enough to draw the pursuit of noble sons. But she hadn’t had a boyfriend for all these years. If Old Master Ford knew his granddaughter’s thoughts, he would definitely do everything possible to help Claire Shaw fulfill her wish. Along the way, Hugo thought about how to handle it. As he entered the Quinton Family gate, he heard laughter and cheer inside. "Grandpa Quinn, I heard this is good for your health. I specifically had a friend from abroad bring it." Claire Shaw took out the gift and placed it beside Elder Quinn. Elder Quinn was naturally pleased, looking at her with gratitude. "Claire, you went to great lengths. Next time, you don’t need to bring gifts, you’re always welcome to visit." Old Master Ford interjected. "This child didn’t even bring me a gift when she came back. Indeed, kids grow up and lean towards outsiders." Claire Shaw gave him a playful glance. "Grandpa, what nonsense are you talking?" Their interaction was so harmonious, making Hugo, who walked in, feel like an outsider. "Hugo, you’re back! Come, have a seat. Claire also bought you a gift." Elder Quinn saw Hugo come in and warmly welcomed him. Hugo didn’t say anything. In front of so many people, it wouldn’t be polite to embarrass the old man, so he had to sit down. "Hugo, this is the shirt I bought for you, to match with a suit. See if you like it." Claire Shaw took a gift box from the side and placed it in front of him with a smile. Hugo glanced at it briefly, responding coldly. Elder Quinn was instantly displeased, patting Hugo’s shoulder. "You child! She went to great lengths to buy it for you, you should say a few more words." But Claire Shaw didn’t mind at all, taking out gifts for others as well. The purpose of this dinner gathering tonight, everyone knew it very well, was none other than to match Claire Shaw with Hugo Quinn. Old Master Ford was very pleased; he had always appreciated Hugo’s business talents.
