    Then, Ste suddenlyughed.


    Sheughed maniacally but with tears in her bloodshot eyes. “She’s scared of heights, but I’ll die…”


    Weston frowned and turned away without looking at her anymore.


    It felt as if a huge rock was weighing down on his chest. He had never felt such heavy emotions before.


    He said hoarsely, “They just want money. You’ll be fine.” He was sure that he wouldn’t let anything


    happen to her.


    “What if their intention is to kill me?” Ste’s eyes were empty as she looked at him.


    “Weston… I’m still pregnant. Do you know that the choice you’re making is one that will kill me?”


    The man paused before gritting his teeth to say, “No. I’ll definitely save you, just not now.”


    Having said that, he repeated, “Trust me, Ste. I won’t let you die.”


    Ste said nothing. She didn’t respond either. Her gaze gradually looked lifeless as sheughed


    dejectedly. At the edges of the roof, the kidnappers exchanged nces and nodded at each other. One


    of them pushed Guinevere forward. “She’s all yours!”


    Weston hurried forward to catch her, and Guinevere hugged him, burying her face in his chest.


    “Weston…”


    Weston didn’t check on her immediately but pushed her away instead, holding her by her shoulders so


    she could stand firm. He subconsciously turned to Ste, but the woman in his arms whimpered.


    “Weston… My stomach hurts…”


    His eyes darkened, but he stiffly lifted his hand to hug her back. There was a look of struggle in his


    eyes. Ste stared at his heartless back profile with a smile on her lips.


    “Mr. Ford…” she called out to him, her voice scattering in the wind. The wind on the rooftop was strong


    and the helicopter was making a lot of deafening noise. The couple was holding each other


    affectionately while Ste could only watch in despair. However, she was still smiling with tears


    streaming down her face, and she looked enticing that way. Ste had a pretty face, but she was used


    to doing without makeup and being in. Now that the corners of her eyes were reddish, she gave off


    the vibe of a shattering beauty.


    The kidnapper behind her couldn’t resist swallowing hard when he saw this. He teased in a voice that


    only the both of them could hear, saying, “Ms. Cohen said that we can do anything to you as long as


    you don’te back alive… If you serve us brothers wellter, we’ll give you a quick end. How about


    it?”.


    Having said that, he thrust forward maliciously.


    “We have tons of methods to make you want to beg for mercy… Why don’t you consider it?”


    Ste felt goosebumps and the urge to throw up from disgust. Her fists were tightly clenched and her


    chest heaved up and down violently, but she couldn’t bring herself to speak for a moment there as she


    felt dested. She knew what would happen to her if she fell into the hands of these people…She had


    never expected these criminals to have any conscience in them.


    As her body trembled, her gaze went from initial despair to a hint of savageness. Why… Why must she


    let others kill her? Why was it that, even until the end, she had to struggle in the hands of others even


    in death? Why could these sinful people control her fate and do as they pleased with her… Why?


    Ste took a deep breath before abruptly bursting out inughter. “Ha… Haha…” She raised her head


    to look up into the sky. Her eyes werepletely bloodshot now. The kidnapper behind her suddenly


    felt uneasy.


    “Why are youughing?”
