Chapter 540 As a Man, It's not Very Convenient.
Although Barbara's words embarrassed Chloe, they reminded her, 'Pearl Peak City is big enough, why did Cynthia have to come to the Stellar Corp to jump? She must not want me to have a good life in the future.'
But Chloe doesn't want to think about that now.
Chloe couldn't connect Cynthia on the phone, and just then Donovan arrived, but Francis wasn't there.
"Where's Francis?" Chloe asked anxiously.
But Chloe saw that Donovan didn't have a trace of urgency on his face; he looked quite relaxed. Chloe thought, ' Are all business people so cold-blooded? Timothy is like this, and so is Donovan!'
"Francis is with Jane. I'm going up." Donovan stared at Cynthia with a meaningful look, squinting his eyes as if he really didn't like Cynthia.
But Chloe was thinking, ' Even if he doesn't like her, this is a matter of life and death, and if Cynthia jumps, how will I manage in the future?'
Donovan went up to the rooftop, where Cynthia was crying her heart out, and she had Jake with her.
"I'm too ashamed to live anymore!" Cynthia said when she saw Donovan.
Cynthia wanted to throw herself into Donovan's arms. After all, this kind of opportunity was rare, especially when Cynthia was at her weakest and most in need of comfort. But when she saw Donovan's hands keeping in his pockets, she hesitated.
"How did those things appear on the bulletin board?" Donovan asked.
Earlier, when Donovan handed Francis over to Jane, Jane had told him everything. Donovan knew what had happened.
"Back then, you returned all those love letters to me. I kept them in a box. But Jake found them one day. I wanted to throw them away since it was all about the past. I did throw them in the trash, but somehow they appeared on the school's bulletin board. Someone must have picked them up." Cynthia covered her face, feeling too ashamed to show herself, and started crying again.
"Mom, don't cry. If you jump, what will happen to me?" Jake tugged at Cynthia's sleeve.
Cynthia seemed to hesitate.
"As long as you're alive, there's hope. Come down." Donovan said, then turned around.
Donovan seemed certain that Cynthia wouldn't jump.
Cynthia touched Jake's face and followed Donovan to get down. Downstairs, Cynthia's face was streaked with tears.
Timothy saw that Cynthia had come down safely and patted his chest, letting out a long sigh of relief as he thought, ' If my building has become worthless for this incident, that will have been a big problem. Then it will be my turn to jump.'
Timothy grabbed Donovan's hand tightly to express his gratitude, but Donovan remained expressionless.
Cynthia, Jake, and Chloe all got into Donovan's car.
"Uncle Donovan, can you be with my mom tonight? I'm afraid she'll do something foolish." Jake asked. "She's emotionally unstable."
Hearing this, Chloe clenched her fist again. Chloe wanted Cynthia to live but didn't want Cynthia to compete with her for a man. Cynthia's intentions were slowly becoming apparent; she was much more formidable than Paisley.
"I'll stay with Cynthia. It's not convenient for Donovan to stay with your mom." Chloe said.
Cynthia glanced at Chloe, then at Donovan, and said nothing.
This time, Cynthia had risked everything, just for a moment in Donovan's arms, a little solace, but she got nothing. In the end, it was Chloe who provided the comfort.
Now, Cynthia was no longer satisfied with just seeing Donovan. She had ambitions and Chloe had become an obstacle for her.
Cynthia's feelings for Chloe had evolved from initial use to hatred. Her desires were growing. Once, Cynthia only wanted to see Donovan. Now, she wanted Donovan to be her man.
