Chapter 148: Curse
Dovie was also shocked and covered her eyes. The crowd erupted in screams.
The firefighters tried to rush over, but the distance was too far for them to make it in time.
At the critical moment, a figure pounced and grabbed Sybil's hand.
It was Ophelia. Just now, while Sybil and Dovie were distracted talking, Ophelia quietly approached Sybil, suppressed her fear of heights, and stepped onto the balcony railing.
When Sybil fell, Ophelia grabbed her hand. Due to inertia, Ophelia also leaned forward and almost fell with Sybil. At a critical moment, a firefighter caught Ophelia.
Sybil and Ophelia were left half-hanging in mid-air.
This thrilling scene made everyone gasp in horror. People below were scared, and some took out their phones to record and post videos online.
Dovie was scared by this scene, her face went pale, and her legs went weak. She could only stand firm with the help of her secretary.
Sybil looked at Ophelia, who was holding onto her, in astonishment. She never expected that Ophelia would be the one to save her.
"Hold on," Ophelia encouraged Sybil, but she was also encouraging herself.
She could barely hold on anymore.
With bulging veins in her arm, Sybil's hand slowly slipped from Ophelia's grasp. Ophelia gritted her teeth and managed to hold onto Sybil.
"Quick, help!" the firefighter shouted.
The other firefighters and police rushed forward to help and pulled Ophelia and Sybil up.
After being rescued, Sybil, still in shock, sat on the ground, her legs going weak.
Ophelia's arm was in pain. She moved it around, stood up, and looked at Sybil. "Sybil, if you had really died, your parents in heaven would worry. Live your life well. If you're not afraid to die, what else can't you overcome?"
Sybil looked up at Ophelia. Suddenly, she burst into tears and cried, "Dad, Mom, it's all my fault."
Sybil felt anguish in her heart and vented through tears.
At that moment, the police in charge of Niamh's car accident case arrived and took Sybil away.
As Sybil was being taken away, she coldly glanced at Dovie. "Dovie, by indulging your own daughter, you will have retribution one day. I curse you to have a miserable old age, to die alone, with no one to send you off. You will die with regret in the hands of your own daughter."
Sybil's curse pierced Dovie's heart like a sharp knife. She suddenly felt a painful twinge in her chest and had a bad premonition.
Sybil's tone was calm, but her hatred seemed to linger for generations.
Dovie remained silent as she watched Sybil being taken away.
Ophelia stood behind Dovie. When she heard Sybil's curse, she saw Dovie's expression turn unpleasant, even her body trembled slightly.
Dovie was terrified.
Although Sybil had been taken away, the matter was not over.
Someone posted the incident online - it was a big news, revealing dark secrets about the Parks family.
At that moment, Sybil jumped off a building, accusing Niamh of killing someone with a car, and Dovie of covering up the crime. The incident exploded online, with the whole internet criticizing Niamh for being heartless and ruthless, and blaming Dovie for protecting her daughter, saying that she would eventually face retribution.
Some people also praised Ophelia for her heroic rescue.
The danger at that time was visibly high. A slight carelessness could have resulted in severe injuries.
Niamh, in the hospital, saw the news and was furious. The incident from a few years ago was being dug up, once again putting her in the public spotlight.
Niamh angrily smashed things and broke her phone. "It's Ophelia again. Why is she everywhere?"
One was being criticized by the whole internet, the other was being praised by the whole internet. The contrast was evident.
Niamh's resentment towards Ophelia was growing deeper.
Meanwhile, at Abbott's Corporation, Atticus saw the hot search and hurriedly walked into the president's office. "Mr. Abbott, look at the hot search. Miss Sinclair is on it."
Finnegan looked puzzled, and Atticus showed him the phone. When Finnegan saw Ophelia hanging in mid-air, his face changed, and his heart raced in an instant.
Even through the screen, Finnegan could feel the danger at that moment.
Finnegan grew anxious. "Give me the phone. Is Ophelia okay?"
"She's fine. The entire internet is praising Miss Sinclair for her heroic act..."
After a brief look at the hot search, Finnegan roughly understood the situation and threw the phone to Atticus before grabbing his car keys and heading out.
