Heartstrings On Fire Chapter 261


    “You lunatic! Let me go!” Mamie was seething with anger, struggling furiously.


    But the guy suddenly went ballistic, stumbling a few steps closer to the edge of the roof. Mamie almost


    lost her footing.


    “If you don’t agree to be with me, we’ll jump together, he threatened. “If we can’t be together in life, we’ll


    be together in death!”


    Mamie had a fear of heights. She nced down and let out a shriek


    Nobody dared to intervene. The cops and the negotiators were still nowhere in sight


    The guy had a gun and seemed mentally unstable. Even the security guards didn’t dare to get too


    close. Everyone kept their distance.


    But Mamie had already pissed him off. The situation was spiraling out of control.


    Just then, Jared burst to the front.


    He loudly dered, “Even if you jump now with her, she’d end up in heaven and you, a bloody


    murderer, would end up in hell. You still wouldn’t be together. You have got to survive because that’s


    the only way you have a chance. Anything can happen?


    The guy seemed stunned by Jared’s words, then had an epiphany. He looked at Jared with hopeful


    eyes, “Then tell me what should I do? How can I get Mamie to marry me? I love her so much, I can’t


    live without her, I just can’t.”


    Jared slowly walked towards him, appearing very calm.


    He extended a hand to the guy, “Come down first, and I’ll tell you. I promise”


    The guy seemed to hesitate.


    One hand held the gun, the other was around Mamie’s neck.


    Mamie’s facepletely changed when she saw Jared.


    She didn’t dare to speak out, just shook her head vigorously.


    But Jared was still getting closer to them.


    The guy still seemed unsure. He turned to look at Mamie, noticing her tear-streaked face andplex


    expression.


    When she looked at him, her face was filled with disgust, as if she were looking at garbage. But when


    she looked at Jared, her eyes were full of warmth, even Sympathy


    The guy reacted instantly, tightening his grip on Mamie’s neck.


    He shot at Jared and shouted, “You’re a liar! You two know each other, don’t you? I remember now,


    you’re Jared, the CEO of the Tim Group, and Mamie’s longtime boyfriend. When Mamie proposed to


    you at Dragon Bay years ago, I was there. You actually rejected her, you rejected the most beautiful


    woman in the world.” As the gunshot rang out, everyone retreated away in fear, leaving arge circle

    around them.


    “Jared!” Both Mamie and Agnes screamed Jared’s name almost simultaneously


    Agnes rushed forward, her heart pounding, “Are you hurt? Where are you hurt?”


    “I’m fine.” Jared responded. The shot had missed him.


    Tears welled up in Agnes’ eyes.


    Jared calmly said, “You need to leave,”


    Agnes shook her head, “I’m not leaving. I’m staying


    with you.”


    Mamie also shouted, “You go back! Everybody get out of here! He’s a madman. Jared, you need to


    go.”
