Chapter 747 A Deal

On the rooftop, Susan suddenly became crazy.

"Everybody dies." She thought. She even felt as if she had died once before when she jumped off from such a tall building and died once. Having come to this situation now, she didn't think it was that scary anymore.

Everyone was watching Susan's actions, while Henry was trying hard to achieve balance. Fortunately, there was a fence behind him. But the old buildings lacked security measures, so the fence here wasn't high enough. If Susan had continued to struggle, they might have fallen from the roof.

"Susan!" Henry shouted her name.

Susan sneered and said, "Henry, you want me to die, don't you? What's the big deal? I'll die with you anyway!"

Henry changed his face. Never had he expected that Susan, who was always a coward, would suddenly become so bold. With his eyes shifting towards her thigh, Henry stuck the knife that had been held against Susan's neck straightly into her thigh.

Susan screamed because of the pain.

Clenching his fists hard, Manuel watched Henry's action with a fierce look. And his face turned hideous.

"Susan, since you want to resist me, I can think of a hundred ways to torture you!" Henry threatened.

Susan was bursting into tears. At this moment she wanted to die with Henry. But she didn't have enough strength to fight back and couldn't even move her body being paralyzed by the pain.

"I've warned you not to take this on yourself." Henry said coldly, then he said to Emily's phone nearby, "Edward, kill yourself now!"

"You bastard, what you've done to Susan?!" Edward asked very worriedly.

"What I've done? I've done something really bad!" Henry said deliberately, "I can give you half an hour. If you're not dead in half an hour, she will die."

"Edward!" Manuel shouted, "If you're dead, Susan will die too."

Susan heard what Manuel said. She didn't want her father to die and would rather kill herself. However, she seemed to be unwilling to hear what Manuel had said rationally, especially when it mattered to her life.

"Don't do what he says!" Manuel said loudly.

Edward didn't expect Manuel would have found Susan. When he was hesitating, Henry began to mislead him, "Edward, have you forgotten what I just told you? Manuel's purpose!" Clenching tightly the phone, Edward turned green.

"All he wants is just to get the Phillips Bank. Think about it, if Susan and I all die, he'll be the only one who gets the benefit. So you sure you want to listen to him?"

"Henry, I'll accept the consequences of my doing! I caused your parents' accident at that time. So I'll kill myself, and you have to let Susan go." Edward was trying to make an offer.

Manuel's eyes were ice-cold. He should have known Edward would be threatened by Henry. Then he pulled out his phone quietly and texted his mother secretly that asked her to hurry to the Phillips Manor and keep an eye on Edward.

Edward must not die. If he died, they were replaying what had happened in the past life just like what Hannah had said. He wouldn't allow that to happen. And he always felt that Henry should love Susan. So Manuel was sure he could save her so long as Henry didn't want her to die.

With this thought, Manuel still felt worried and nervous because of those uncertain factors. He was wondering at that moment if he had made the right choice.

Would all these bad things have happened if he had exposed Henry's plot?

But he was worried before that Susan would support Henry if she had known the truth. Although she seemed careless and generous, she was very emotional. Once she helped Henry, her relationship with her father would be completely broken.

What's more, Manuel thought after he controlled the Phillips Bank in his way Henry could never achieve his aim. And since Henry also loved Susan so much, maybe over time he would let go of his hatred and live happily together with Susan. Then everyone could get his own happy end.

But he didn't expect Susan would reject Henry in the end at all. And Henry would be hurt so badly.

Manuel watched the two of them before him, with a hint of brutality crawling into his eyes. He saw that Susan's thigh had been bleeding. Her tears kept running down her cheeks, and her face became paler because of the pain.

"Manuel, are you wishing me and Susan to jump out from here?" Henry suddenly asked.

"No, I want to save her."

"Why can't I feel it?" Henry said sarcastically, "I'm wondering if you're the Manuel we know. Somehow, I feel you're more cold-blood than any of us. Because everyone will panic in a situation like that. But you've been too calm the whole time."

"I just don't think panic can help to solve the problem."

"No, that's because she's not important enough to you." Henry concluded and lowed his head to say to Susan, "Look, he doesn't love you that much. You still think he's worth what you've suffered?" "That's enough, Henry!" Susan said, fighting the pain, "What I do in my life is my business, you're not qualified to judge me!"

"Are you feeling ashamed?" Henry smiled evilly, "I don't know why, but I enjoy the way you break down."

"Susan, do you want to let me help you test Manuel for the last time whether he still loves you?" asked Henry.

Susan felt her body get stiff. And Henry could visibly sense her nervousness.

"What, you're afraid? You're afraid he doesn't love you anymore?"

"Henry, you're crazy, you nut!"

"And that was thanks to you," Henry said coldly.

Then he turned around to look at Manuel, who was calculating now whether it would be faster for him to rush over there, or it would be faster for Henry to realize what would happen and jump off. Feeling Henry's gaze, Manuel also looked up at him.

"Manuel, let's make a deal." Henry smiled evilly.

Manuel stared at him coldly.

"If you jump off from here, I can keep her alive."

Susan felt her body shiver. She couldn't imagine how he could say such cruel words.

"You'll kill her just as the same even if I jump off." Said Manuel, peacefully and indifferently.

"I admit that I won't change my mind to not kill Susan even if Edward's dead. But I may change that idea if you die." Henry smiled viciously, "After all, you can never be with her again if you die. And Edward's death will mean her family doesn't exist anymore. Then in this way, she'll lose her family and loved one simultaneously, which is a nice revenge for me!"
