“Lucian, can I meet with Roxanne? I want to apologize to her sincerely. If I don’t do it today, I might never have the chance again.”
Elektra had expressed all the thoughts in her mind. At the brink of her death, she pondered on the remaining guilt and regrets she had in her life. In the end, Elektra felt that she should face Roxanne one last time. I’ve lost to her in every aspect possible.
Lucian furrowed his brows but finally nodded in agreement. He dialed Roxanne’s number and told Roxanne about Elektra’s plan to end her life by jumping off a building and her wish to meet with Roxanne one last time. In the meantime, Roxanne, who was in the research institute’s office, was wholly dumbfounded.
She even wondered if her husband was joking. The third phase of the product had made a lot of profit, and the future of Flora Verba Group was undoubtedly promising, so why would the CEO of the company, Elektra, want to end her own life?
Roxanne wasn’t heartless. In the end, the only reason she could think of that would motivate Elektra to do so was the latter’s love life. Yes, that’s possible. But, it’s still weird that she would attempt to end her life and that Lucian is currently with her.
Roxanne planned to drive there herself, but Lucian called again the next second. “Let Linda drive you over. I need to brief you on the circumstances on your way here.”
She agreed. Linda drove while Roxanne sat in the backseat, quietly listening to Lucian’s account of Christina’s entire plot. After hearing that, Roxanne felt chills traveling down her spine.
She couldn’t believe that underneath the calm surface of the seemingly joyous three-day period, sinister schemes were brewing, and thrilling rescues took place.
Fear washed over her as she became aware of what had happened. If it weren’t for Lucian’s attentiveness, noticing something was off, and. taking decisive countermeasures, Flora Verba Group and the research institute would’ve been doomed.
Roxanne reckoned that if worse came to worst, she probably wouldn’t be able to escape the mess unscathed as well and might have to face imprisonment. The most important day of her life was just one week away That meant Elektra had deliberately planned to send her to jail before the wedding.
Realizing that, Roxanne regained her composure right away and even began emanating a forbidding aura. Is she truly seeking death, or is this just a ploy for her to gain Lucian’s sympathy so she can escape this plight?
Suddenly, Roxanne lost all pity and sympathy for Elektra since the latter was clearly trying to put her in a desperate situation. What would happen to the three children if I were really sent to jail?
Upon arriving at the office building, Roxanne looked up at the top of the structure. While waiting for Roxanne’s arrival, Elektra gradually sat down with her legs dangling on the edge, seemingly unafraid of falling and resolved to meet her end.
Poker-faced, Roxanne strolled toward the entrance casually, wanting to see for herself what else Elektra was planning to do. At that moment, her mind was blank. She didn’t know what to think about.
Suddenly, some strange thoughts popped into her head. Is there truly an afterlife? Do people truly forget everything after passing on? But I don’t want to forget Lucian. If I was given a chance at rebirth, can I make a wish to let Lucian fall in love with me in my next life?
Elektra turned around and regarded Lucian with a yearning look. He had been silent after he was done talking on the phone with Roxanne and was tapping something on his phone..
Finally, the elevator carrying Roxanne finally reached the top floor with a ding. She would arrive on the rooftop after taking a dozen more steps.
