Chapter 744 History Once More

Manuel was right about Henry's caution. Henry had not even come out to see how things develop before taking Susan away just because of that noise.

No sooner had Henry opened the door than he suddenly saw Manuel. Then he tightened his grip on Susan and pressed a sharp knife against her neck. His face also clouded to the extreme at that moment because he didn't expect Manuel to replace his hideout so fast.

Henry took Susan out with him just because he wanted to see what happened outside the apartment. He didn't think anyone was coming. But it was finally happening. Manuel was always beyond his expectations.

And he started to regret he didn't kill Manuel last night, thinking that he should have killed him regardless. Now he even had a hunch that he would be killed by Manuel if he couldn't kill him first. They looked at each other for a few seconds without a word. Then Henry's look turned cold, and he said, "Manuel, will wonders never cease?" He said those words with a strong feeling of sarcasm. Manuel glanced at the sharp blade that was against Susan's neck. Then he averted his gaze at Susan. He saw the longing in her eyes the moment when they looked at each other. Susan got too excited to speak, for Manuel always came to save her so soon when she was in danger. Her eyes began to tear up and her mind was whirling inside.

Henry could feel Susan's mood swings. His face turned even more clouded at that instant.

"You think you can save her?" he asked Manuel.

Manuel looked straight at him.

"Henry, you're clear about what you're doing now is seeking your own doom. Even if you've forced Edward to transfer his shares to you and then made him kill himself, and now you want to kill Susan, you'll still be punished by the law."

Manuel's words certainly didn't pull any punches.

For Henry, he had been prepared to leave both sides bloodied and to perish together. Although he was shirking legal responsibility, he couldn't do it. He was clear that there was no way for him to get away with it once he drove Edward to death and planned to kill Susan. He couldn't get the Phillips Bank, and he might even end with it. Now what he was doing was just all for torturing Edward and Susan, that was it. He was just determined to make them pay for what he had suffered.

Henry couldn't help but ask, "Manuel, who the hell are you?"

He always regarded Manuel as a normal person. And he thought Manuel's love for Susan was an unrequited one and he didn't like to fight for himself. Thus, Henry never took Manuel as his rival seriously before. But he was failing every time now because of Manuel.

"It doesn't matter. The point is that you can cut our and your losses in time if you stop now." Manuel said clearly, "It is never too late to mend before you do anything bad." "Are you trying to persuade me?" Henry smiled sarcastically.

"Henry, you don't have to spend your whole life hating others. Yes, what Edward did to your father was despicable, but after all, it was because your father was not as capable as him. That is a competition in business. So many people committed their suicide in this world because of losing a game, which is just a result of natural selection. So you don't have to fight against the law."

"You're dignified saying this. But why don't you consider what would happen to you if your parents are killed? Manuel, I can talk like an unconcern person, just like you, but only if it doesn't happen to me. And I believe no matter who it happen to, he would have made the same choice I did!"

"But what you're doing now is dishonouring yourself, do you feel it's worth it? You made Edward get what he deserved, but you'll also be punished by the law. What exactly are you getting out of it?" Manuel asked.

"I once cherished my life, but now..." Henry glanced at Susan, and his face turned cold, "There was a time when I even thought I would live nicely just for Susan, but now I feel the thought of trying to change myself for her just stains my life. It was a burning shame that I changed for a woman who didn't love me."

Susan felt her heart quiver slightly. She was somewhat swayed by Henry's words and began to question what she had done.

When Manuel still tried to say something, his eyes were fixed on the blade. Henry suddenly moved his hand. All Susan felt was a sudden pain in her neck. Her skin was cut with that knife. And she was trembling because of fear.

"Cut the crap." Henry said, "If I have to die, I'll let both of you die with me."

With this, he walked into the elevator with Susan and pushed the button.

Manuel watched his movement on guard. He was sounding out Henry just now. And he came to the conclusion that Henry was ready to die.

What a horrible man, Manuel thought.

Then he followed Henry into the elevator watchfully.

The elevator went to the top floor, on which a breeze caressed their cheeks.

Henry took Susan to the edge of the huge rooftop.

A hint of nervousness flashed into Manuel's eyes. He suddenly remembered something Hannah had said to him. She described a picture that Susan jumping from the top of the building. Now he was looking at the "history" repeating itself. Manuel tried keeping himself collected and saw Henry take Susan to the very edge of the roof.

"Henry!" Manuel said his name loudly.

Henry sneered, "Are you scared?"

Manuel didn't answer him.

Susan also felt frightened at this moment. She glanced at the tall building behind her with her eyes squinted nearly shut.

She would surely die if she jumped down from here.

Susan felt her body shivering slightly. Henry noticed that and asked in a low voice, "Are you scared?"

"Henry, you're insane," Susan said, gritting her teeth.

Henry smiled, "It's just my revenge. But you, you even haven't put yourself in my shoes for once, Susan, do you want to know how I got into this situation?"

Susan felt her heart tremble.

"My family was ruined because of your father. I used to be in a happy family back then, but then my parents died and I was sent to an orphanage. Do you know how it feels for a kid once from a rich family to live there? I was stripped naked and beaten, forced to eat mice, and tortured overtly and covertly, which you can never imagine!" Henry said in an inhumane way.

Susan compressed her lips tightly.

She wouldn't feel sorry for him now.

Because she was kidnapped and tortured by him, and she couldn't replace an excuse to sympathize with this guy any more.
