Pursuing Her
Chapter 716
“No. It didn't go over the line. She's just too fragile.”
In the meantime, Greta attempted to locate Charles at his workplace. Despite repeatedly calling him, none of her calls were ever answered by him.
In desperation, she went to the top floor of his company building and threatened to jump off, thinking that Charles would have no choice but to meet her if she did so.
As anticipated, Greta's actions caught the attention of the employees of Quigley Group, who quickly alerted Charles that someone was attempting to jump off the building.
Upon receiving the news, Charles furrowed his brows tightly. Recently, the Quigley family had been under scrutiny due to Yvette, and now this incident occurred.
He then personally headed to the top floor. Charles didn't expect to see Greta there.
“You finally agreed to meet me. I thought you would never want to see me again in your life!”
Greta's face was filled with excitement.
Charles snickered. So, it's her. I suspect that she wouldn't voluntarily choose to jump off the building. It seems like she's doing it to manipulate me into giving in to her demands.
“Have you had enough? If yes, come here now!” Charles demanded coldly.
Greta refused to give in to Charles' tone. “Why are you talking to me like this? You wanted to be with me before! How can you treat me like this now?”
Greta cried pitifully.
“Charles, do you believe that I love you dearly?” Greta stressed her deep affection for Charles.
“Listen, Greta. I'll give you till the count of three to come here,” Charles said, his patience running thin. He had no feelings for Greta and didn't want to waste more time on her.
“I won't come down unless you promise to be with me again. Otherwise, I'll jump. Believe me.”
Charles was speechless after hearing that.
Who the heck does she think she is, making threats like this?
“If you have a death wish, I will be unreasonable if I try to stop you from achieving it. So, do as you please.”
Charles then decided to leave.
Despite the issues the Quigley family had been facing lately, he remained indifferent.
Greta stared at Charles' leaving figure with disbelief.
“Were you never in love with me, Charles?” Greta asked, figuring he would only be so cruel to her if he had never loved her.
Unfortunately, Charles wouldn't reply to her question.
“Everyone else, leave! If she has a death wish, no one can stop her.” Charles was always a cold and ruthless person. Otherwise, he wouldn't be changing girlfriends every month.
Initially, Charles believed that Greta was his perfect match, but the reality proved otherwise.
Finding someone he loved from the bottom of his heart was not an easy feat.
Greta collapsed to the ground. Is he really going to leave me alone? Is it worth jumping for a man like him?
When Charles had given her a chance to change her mind earlier, she had refused. Now, with the employees around, Greta didn't know what excuse to make to save herself from embarrassment.
“Miss, please come down! I must remind you that our CEO would never tolerate anyone threatening him. Moreover, he can handle the consequences if you choose to jump today!”
Honestly, one person's death wouldn't cause any ripples toward Quigley Group.
In the end, Greta descended from the top floor and left dejectedly.
She couldn't understand why she always ended up with these sc*mbags. All she wanted was to find a wealthy boyfriend.
Is it wrong to have such a wish?
Winter had returned. After walking out of the airport and taking in Jipsdale's air which had been familiar to her, she told herself she wouldn't leave again, and from now on, she would stay here forever.
Charles went to pick her up. When he noticed that she was much slimmer than before, he couldn't help feeling a sting in his heart.
“Everything's fine now. It's good that you're back. Grandpa is waiting for you!” If it weren't for Walter falling ill this time, Tristan wouldn't have given way and allowed her to come back.
“After what happened, you should understand it now. No matter what you do, it's useless. So don't do anything and be Ms. Winter of the Quigley family. It's better than doing anything else.”
“I know, Charles. Don't worry! I know clearly what I should do.”
Seeing Winter in such a condition, Charles didn't feel reassured by her words.
“Winter, just in case you blame me for not reminding you, do you remember the daughter of the Whitley family? The Whitley family ended up disappearing because she offended Sophie.”
Though Tristan might not treat the Quigley family the same way, there was no doubt that he didn't have feelings for Winter.
“Let's go home, Charles! I'm tired.”
Having been alone in a foreign country for so long, she didn't want to dwell on those thoughts now that she was back.
Regarding Sophie, Winter decided to put it aside for now. After all, it is impossible for Tristan to protect her for the rest of her life, right?
