Finding Love in the Boss’s Embrace After Divorce novel Chapter 1142

"At that time, Owen proposed that you take his daughter up there as a bargaining chip to exchange for Miss. Graves's life. And when he said that, Miss. Graves suddenly lost control of her emotions, so the scene of falling off the cliff happened. I don't think she did it unintentionally, but... she didn't want you to replace her and fall into danger."

Bert's face turned pale, and his mind went blank. At that moment, Alivia was in a desperate situation, with a steep cliff behind her and heartless kidnappers. She could have waited just a little longer to be rescued, but she made a resolute decision to step back for him.

People made decisions in desperate situations entirely by instinct. At that moment, perhaps she had not even reacted before she fell.

Wasn't she afraid of death?

Everyone was afraid of death, but she would rather bear it herself than let him die.

At that critical moment of life and death, the girl who appeared so carefree and avoided him with cold eyes resolutely put her own safety aside.

What kind of courage and strength supported her?

Perhaps he didn't understand before, but at this moment, he seemed to have woken up from a dream and understood everything.

It was love.

The wind blew the corner of his clothes, and his body was still stained with Alivia's blood. He forgot how long he had been standing there. It had been so long since he had finished smoking, and his body was swinging back and forth like he was about to fall off at any moment.

It was so high up here that looking down made Bert feel dizzy. The height Alivia was at the back then must have been just as terrifying as this.

When Huston pushed open the door of the top floor, he saw such a scene. His dark pupils shrank, and he ran over to pull Bert down to the ground. He shouted, "Bert, what are you doing!"

Bert was pinned down, looking indifferent, his gaze seemingly unfocused, and his voice tense and dry, "It's none of your business." "Do you want to commit suicide? Jump off the building?" Huston's voice was not gentle, as if he wanted to give him a punch, but seeing his desolate appearance, he held back, "Your life was exchanged for Alivia's. Even if you want to die, wait for her to wake up and ask her, okay?"
