Chapter 523 If anyone is to die, it should be Sarah.
Antonio would blame himself for the rest of his life.
Antonio forcefully pulled back twice, but besides the bodyguards restraining him, there were others nearby, prepared to prevent his actions.
Once again, he was pushed back; he couldn't help but curse loudly.
"Serene! Are you truly heartless?! That man raised you for many years! Even if he isn’t your biological father, he still cared for you more than anyone else! You were the apple of his eye! But what have you done?!"
"The apple of his eye?!"
Serene's eyes were somewhat red due to excessive excitement.
With a maliciously twisted smile on her cold face, she said emotionlessly, "Isn't Sarah the only one he cares about now? Aren't I just making his dreams come true by allowing him to share hardships with his daughter?"
Antonio glanced at the countdown on the tree. His breathing was becoming more and more hurried, and his heart felt heavy.
Choosing Sarah was a certainty, but Kevin...
Kevin was Sarah's biological father. How painful would it be for her to watch him fall to his death?
Antonio even started to avoid looking at Sarah.
Would she hate him? Would she forgive him?
If anything happened to Kevin here today, even if Sarah survived, she would never be able to continue her relationship with Antonio as before. What woman would happily be with a man who couldn’t prevent her father’s death?
He covered his face with his hand in pain and repression; the veins on his forehead were throbbing and tears were uncontrollably streaming down his face, "Sarah... I'm sorry... I'm sorry Sarah..."
Sarah looked at him, shaking her head as she cried.
She wanted to speak, but she couldn't say anything.
She knew that Antonio had made his choice.
She couldn't blame him... But what about her father?!
Sarah desperately wanted to break free, but all her efforts were in vain, and the rope above was slowly tearing apart.
She looked at Kevin on the other side, crying silently, and closed her eyes in despair.
Antonio saw Sarah's sad face reflected in his eyes. The clock on the nearby screen was ticking; there were only 20 seconds left.
With each glance, the seconds ticked away.
Time was running out, and the rope above Sarah and Kevin was dwindling in the middle. It looked as if it would break at any moment.
"Only 12 seconds left."
There seemed to be sparks jumping in Serene's eyes, "Antonio, are you really not going to choose?"
"Sarah!"
Antonio almost closed his eyes and shouted this name, using all his strength to say heavily, "I choose... Sarah."
As soon as he said this, the mechanism on the tree made a sound.
The falling rope suddenly stopped, and it didn't continue to break.
Serene's eyebrows moved slightly, and the corners of her mouth slowly hooked up into a strange smile. Even stranger, the color of the lipstick on her lips was as bright as blood.
At this moment, Antonio felt his body shiver. There was a sudden chill in his heart, and he began panicking like never before.
He subconsciously broke free from the bodyguards' restraint; his reckless actions left the bodyguards on both sides unresponsive.
In the blink of an eye, Antonio had already stood up.
He pushed away the people who were chasing him, and like a madman, he ran towards Sarah.
Kevin was gradually lowered by the rope, while the rope on Sarah's side suddenly broke again.
Serene had no intention of letting her go. This entire farce was just a means of torturing Sarah and Antonio.
From the beginning, she just wanted Sarah to die!
Sarah's eyes widened in horror. Was she... going to die?!
But if it meant her father could survive, Sarah had no regrets...
But when she thought of Antonio, her heart ached to the point where she felt like she was suffocating.
Was this truly her fate?
She didn't want to accept it!
At this moment, she heard a light "snap," and then felt her body lighten when the rope completely broke.
Sarah's heart stopped, and then she started falling rapidly.
However!
Like lightning, Antonio practically rolled and crawled to the edge of the cliff, firmly catching her hand.
"Sarah!! Don't give up! Hold on to me!"
Sarah suddenly opened her eyes and immediately broke into tears.
Antonio!
"Don't be afraid, I'll pull you up!!"
Veins bulged on Antonio's forehead, and his previously stopped heartbeat now pounded violently, as if he had died and come back to life.
He couldn't imagine what he would have done if Sarah had really fallen from here just now.
What would he do?
Just thinking about it made Antonio feel as if he was being choked, and his internal organs ached with pain.
He gave everything to hold on to Sarah’s hand and used all his strength to pull her up.
As Serene watched, her face instantly became extremely cold.
Sarah, this wretched woman, really had a good life, didn't she?!
Antonio actually caught her?!
She slowly walked towards the two people struggling for their lives.
After several changes in her expression, she sneered maliciously, "Antonio, how are you so capable? You even managed to catch her."
Antonio could feel her getting closer. His hand holding Sarah tightened further and even more sweat began seeping out on his forehead.
Sarah... He must pull Sarah up!
Serene stood in front of them, looking down at them struggling.
Beneath was a bottomless cliff, so if Antonio let go, Sarah would undoubtedly die.
"Antonio, I just wanted to play a joke on you." There seemed to be a storm gathering in Serene's eyes, "Kevin is my father; how could I bear to let him die? If someone has to die..."
"Of course, it should be Sarah!"
As she spoke, the heel of Serene's high-heeled shoe ruthlessly stepped on the back of Antonio's hand.
