The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

The rooftop wasn’t that big. It was only a few dozen square meters wide. The potted plants on the roof had become withered because of the heat.

There was nowhere for Janet and Ethan to hide. Moreover, it was rather windy today, making the fire even worse. Gradually, smoke was forming on the rooftop.

Ethan knew that they couldn’t wait any longer. As the smoke increased, so too would the concentration of carbon monoxide within the area. And by then, he and Janet would likely pass out on the rooftop due to excessive intake of carbon monoxide.

It would take some time for the Larson Group’s helicopter to arrive. They couldn’t wait for that long.

Ethan walked to the edge of the rooftop and tied a roll of rope to the railing, which he had taken from the bathroom earlier.

“Janet, come here. I’ll get you down from the rooftop using this rope.” Ethan helped Janet to the edge of the rooftop and tied the other end of the rope to her waist.

Dazed and dizzy, Janet stared at the crowd. There were numerous people beneath the building, small as ants. Her vision was blurring, and her legs grew weaker by the second.
