Chapter 517 His Rescue In The Rain
"What the hell is going on?"
Marty could not help but ask.
Wes hurriedly told him the whole story.
When Marty learned that the drawbridge was broken and Evelyn was hanging down there, Marty was totally stunned. He was so furious that he almost flew off the handle.
"So you are just standing here and waiting? Just let her hang down there like that?"
Wes felt very aggrieved after being scolded all of a sudden.
"Young Master Marty, we didn't want to do that too. I just called someone to come over, but now it's raining and they are traveling here from the city. It will take at least 20 minutes. I'm afraid that Evelyn can't hold on any longer."
Carrie was so anxious that she burst into tears.
"Young Master Marty, you must save Evelyn. You are so smart, surely you'll come up with a solution, won't you?"
Marty's face was almost livid.
"I am not an immortal. There's nothing useful here. What can I do?"
Upon hearing this, she felt like the light of hope was fading.
Right at this moment, a rumbling sound could be heard.
The rumbling sound of the thunder came from the sky.
Everyone was shocked by the sound of it. Suddenly, they heard a sound coming from the cliff. Someone shouted, "The rope is going to break soon!"
Everyone's faces changed greatly, and they all ran to the edge of the cliff to have a look.
The rope, which was originally connected to the drawbridge, due to the friction caused by the sharp stones and years of disrepair, had started to show signs of breaking. It looked like it would not be able to hold on any longer.
"What should we do?"
Carrie was so anxious that tears rolled down her face.
Marty's facial expression darkened. Suddenly, he turned to look at a rope not far away.
"How long is the rope?"
As soon as he asked, Wes knew what he meant.
He frowned and said in a low voice, "It's still raining heavily. It's not safe to go down with the rope alone. Otherwise, you could easily slip. This cliff is hundreds of meters deep. It's too dangerous."
Marty didn't listen to him at all. He asked angrily, "I'm asking you how long is the rope?"
Wes was shocked by his strong aura as he shrank away a little. He could only reply, "About 50 or 60 meters. The drawbridge is 40 meters long. It should be enough."
Marty didn't say anything more. With a cold face, he turned his head and walked to the rope. He took off his drenched windbreaker, leaving only a T-shirt on as he tied the rope around his waist.
"Marty!"
"Marty, you can't do this."
The group of rich second generations who came with him were shocked.
At this time, if one still didn't understand what he was going to do, he probably had wasted decades of years living.
They had known each other for so long, so they knew that Marty loved beauty. But they didn't expect that he would do this at all.
It was such a heavy rain, but he was still willing to go down with just a rope. It seemed like he was really willing to risk his life.
One of them who was close to Marty hurried to dissuade him, "Marty, no need, there's really no need to do this. Although Miss Hussain is indeed a widely-recognized beauty, there's really no need for you to go down in person. Didn't they say that the rescue team is on their way?"
Marty looked at that person with a cold face. "Didn't you see the rope is going to break? Do you think she can hold on for another 20 minutes?"
He was speechless.
Seeing this, the young man that came with Marty also came up to dissuade him.
"Young Master Marty, this is not your way of doing things. You are not even close to this person. You don't have to risk your life for her, do you?"
Marty sneered.
There was a hint of arrogance in his tone, as if he was bragging.
"Who said I'm not close to her?"
Everyone was speechless.
Marty shot a cold glance at his friends and shamelessly said, "She owes me money. I'm afraid that I'll not get my money back after she dies, okay?"
Again, no one spoke.
Everyone fell into silence for a moment and surprised by Marty's waywardness.
Marty couldn't be bothered to care about them. After tying the rope on his waist, he handed the other end of the rope to Wes.
"Call a few strong ones to grab hold of it tightly. If something goes wrong, you will all lose your lives. Do you understand?"
Wes was already scared out of his wits when he knew that Marty was going to go down in person. How dare he refuse him?
He said with a depressed look, "Young Master Marty, why don't you think it over again? If there is an accident, I can't afford to bear the responsibility."
Was this a joke? As the second son of the Blaine family, Marty was one of the descendants of the four great families. If something went wrong to him, not to mention Wes, the group of rich second generations who had come here today with him would not be able to walk away from this responsibility.
Moreover, judging by how protective was the Blaine family towards their own people, these people would probably be doomed.
Marty sneered.
"So you've grabbed hold of the rope for me for dear life. Do you understand?"
Wes didn't dare to say anything else. He could only nod his head obsequiously.
As for Carrie, after she learned that Evelyn could be saved, a glint of happiness appeared on her face as she quickly grabbed the other end of the rope.
She even encouraged Marty, "Young Master Marty, don't worry. Even if everyone let go, I won't let go even if I'll die. I won't let you fall down."
Marty's expression darkened at Carrie's words.
He glared at Carrie.
What nonsense was this d*mned lass saying?
If everyone else were to let go, would it make any difference if she didn't let go?
With her scrawny body, she might have to be dragged down along with him.
When the other rich second generations saw that Carrie had shown her loyalty, how could they not know what they should do at this moment?
Marty was determined to save her. In their opinion, it was just Marty risking his life to pursue a beautiful celebrity.
Things would definitely not go wrong. Therefore, how could they miss the chance to show their loyalty?
So, a group of people also grabbed hold of the rope tightly with Carrie and said firmly, "Young Master Marty, you can rest assured. We will definitely pull you up."
"Yes, you and our sister-in-law will be fine."
The words "sister-in-law" made Wes and the others stunned for a moment.
On the other hand, Marty's expression didn't change much. He nodded, grasped the rope, and climbed down the cliff.
But at this time, on the other side.
Evelyn only felt that she was like a kite hanging on a tree, which could be torn apart by the rain and wind at any time.
She was still on her period, so not only her arm was in pain, but also her stomach was stirred up again because of the cold in the rain.
When Evelyn felt that she might not be able to hold on, she didn't know whether it was her illusion or not. In her blurred vision, she saw a figure slowly climbing down.
The heavy rain blurred her vision. In the rain, the hazy figure was like a hero sent from heaven. He seemed like he was full of determination as he came to her.
Evelyn was stunned. She opened her mouth and wanted to make a sound, but she didn't say anything.
Her throat was hoarse and she couldn't say anything at all.
