Chapter 155 Will She Jump or Not?

Karen felt so angry at Ryder's smile on his face!

She thought, this bastard never does anything useful, but he comes to act all courteous now!

Therefore, she scolded angrily, "Get lost! I don't have a son-in-law like you! Just looking at you makes me feel nauseous!"

Ryder remained composed and said, "It's alright. As long as you walk to the window and jump off, you won't see me ever again, and naturally, you won't feel nauseous either!"

"You..." Karen's lips twitched.

Although she had increasingly felt that Ryder was becoming disobedient and even argued with her these past few days!

But he had never been so aggressive!

This bastard must be holding a grudge against me for divorcing him from Sarah!

The more she thought about it, the more furious Karen became!

With her chin held high, she stated firmly, "What do you mean? Do you think I'm bluffing with the talk of jumping off?"

Ryder nodded repeatedly, "You're right!"

Karen's eyes twitched, and she persisted, "I will do it, no bluff at all!"

"Since you're not bluffing, then please go ahead with your act!" Ryder didn't waste any words and walked towards the window while holding the IV drip!

"Hey! Useless person, why are you in such a hurry? I..." Karen was startled.

With the constraints of the IV drip tube, she had no choice but to get out of bed and follow Ryder!

Seeing this, Sarah was about to speak up and stop them.

But Ryder quickly gave her a secret glance!

Sarah hesitated for two seconds, then closed her mouth, refraining from saying anything!

In fact, she knew very well that Karen used to do this just to frighten her!

But as her daughter, she had to help Karen out of the predicament! Besides, if something were to happen, she might regret it for the rest of her life!

However, Sarah had been through a lot in the past two days, which led her to resent Karen's existence.

Therefore, when Ryder dealt with Karen in this way, she didn't feel like stopping him!

Ernest simply lowered his head and continued peeling the apple, as if nothing had happened!

Aaron stood up immediately to defend Karen. Ryder, however, turned his head and glared at him fiercely, rebuking, "If you say one more word today, I will throw you out of here! I mean what I say!"

Aaron's body trembled. Although he was constantly challenging Ryder with his words, the humiliation he suffered two days ago at George's banquet was still fresh in his mind. Furthermore, he clearly knew that Ryder was not someone he could handle.

So he simply covered himself with the blanket and mumbled, "Ahem! I feel a bit dizzy. I'll just take a nap, don't bother me."

After that, there was no more sound. Ryder turned to Karen with a smile that wasn't really a smile and said, "Get started already, what are you waiting for?"

As he spoke, Ryder walked up to the windowsill, opened the window, and gestured for her to come up. Karen's lips turned purple with anger. Ever since she married Ernest, the threat of jumping off a building had always worked.

It was very effective! Every time someone would quickly step forward to stop her. But this time, not only did no one stop her, but more importantly, Ryder, this waste of a human being, kept deliberately provoking her!

She hadn't had enough of it yet! This was the fourth floor, and jumping from here would either kill her or leave her disabled for life! But in front of Ryder, she didn't want to give in.

She still defiantly said, "Fine! I’ll jump, what's the big deal? Anyway, when I'm dead, you'll be the first one to pay!"

Despite her words, Karen didn't take a step forward. She remained far away from the windowsill.

"It's fine, you always say I'm not worth regretting even if I die! A person should keep their word, so come on and jump down quickly!" Saying that, Ryder grabbed Karen's arm and pulled her towards the windowsill, as if he was going to push her down.

This terrified Karen, and she struggled and shouted, "You waste of space, you're going to be a murderer! Let go!"

"I won't let go! Who told you to want to die?" Ryder increased his strength slightly and Karen's upper body protruded outside the window. Looking down from the fourth floor, Karen felt dizzy, her body floating as if Ryder pushed a little harder, she would fall.

In this life-threatening moment, how could she still have the courage to be stubborn?

She quickly shouted, "I won't jump! I can’t jump off the building! You useless scum, let go now! If you want to die, do it yourself!"

Upon hearing this, a glint of severity flashed in Ryder's eyes. Instead of letting go, he increased his strength even more! Now, both of Karen's legs were off the ground! Karen's face turned pale.

"Ryder! Stop it! You...you need to stop!"

Ryder coldly said, "I see that your mouth is quite sharp, don't you think it needs to be stopped!"

As he spoke, he increased the force again! More than half of Karen's body was now outside the window, and at this moment, she didn't need to carry on with her tough act anymore.

She desperately shouted, "I won't jump! I won't jump off the building, alright! You damn bastard, just let go!"

Ryder pressed harder, and as soon as he let go, she would fall!

This time, Karen was terrified, her voice pleading and tearful, "I... I don't want to jump off anymore, is that not enough? I shouldn't have said anything just now, I take it back, I promise I won't dare anymore! Please stop!"

Ryder raised his eyebrow, "Are you really not going to dare?"

Karen nodded repeatedly, "I really won't dare!"

"Hmph! That's about right!" Ryder pulled her forcefully and dragged Karen into the hospital room!

"I was so scared..." Karen sat on the ground, panting heavily, her legs shaking uncontrollably, not even aware that her pants were soaked! It was too terrifying!

Ryder stared at her and said in a cold voice, "Give me a heads-up anytime you want to perform your jumping act again. I promise I will definitely throw you down next time! Remember that, okay?"

"I... I'll remember!" Karen's trembling lips replied, no longer showing her usual arrogant demeanor with her nose in the air.

Ryder just sneered and didn't say anything more!

In his heart, he knew very well that with Karen's personality, she was just momentarily frightened!

In fact, she not only wasn't scared, her hatred towards him had intensified!

But Ryder didn't care about that!

At least for the next few days, Karen would be more restrained!

In any case, this jumping off incident had come to an end!

At this moment, Sarah sighed and spoke, "With the situation between Mr. Jaxon's family and us having escalated to this point, I don't want to argue about who is right or wrong anymore. Let's just stop here! Mom, and Aaron, if you still consider me as your family, please be more low-key in the future and don't cause any more trouble!"

After finishing her words, she gave Ryder a meaningful look!

The two of them didn't stay any longer and directly left the hospital room.
