Chapter 259: Interrogate Him Properly
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Charlotte watched as Lucas vanished from the edge of the roof and screamed at the top of her lungs uncontrollably, “Lucas!”
Two streams of tears rolled down her cheeks, and she started bawling loudly, feeling as if her heart was being stabbed by daggers.
In contrast, Declan laughed out loud in great excitement. “Hahaha! What a dimwit. I managed to kill him so easily! I’m going to get rich again soon. Hahaha!”
The special police officers on the rooftop of the building couldn’t stop Lucas in time and could only watch as he jumped off the building. They all shouted in horror and regret.

At the same time, the crowd of onlookers on the ground also shrieked loudly in amazement.
When Declan heard the commotion at the bottom of the building, he guffawed hysterically with great smugness. Then he grabbed Charlotte by the collar and looked at the ground to admire the scene of Lucas’s badly mangled flesh after he fell off the building.
Suddenly, there was a major change!
A pair of hands suddenly reached over from the edge of the roof and clamped down firmly on Declan’s ankle!
Declan was standing on the edge of the parapet and was caught off guard when the pair of hands dragged him off the roof with great force!
He screamed in horror, and his face immediately turned pale. But the moment he fell off the building, he grabbed Charlotte and dragged her down with him!
“Ah!”
“Oh my G.o.d! Both of them fell off the building!”
“Ahhh, this is terrible!”
The reporters and onlookers below immediately shrieked and turned pale in horror. Countless eyes and cameras focused on the rooftop.
When Charlotte was dragged off the roof by Declan, she didn’t feel any fear of death and was instead full of regret and misery.
I caused Lucas to die…
If he hadn’t tried to save me, he wouldn’t have had to jump to his death!
If she had known earlier, she would have dragged Declan and jumped off the building before Lucas did so that he wouldn’t have had to sacrifice his life for nothing!
It’s good that I’m dying now. At least Lucas won’t be dying alone…
Charlotte shut her eyes tightly, and two teardrops trickled down her cheeks and into the air.
Just when Charlotte was ready to die, her weightless body was suddenly caught by a strong arm!
Charlotte opened her eyes abruptly, only to see a familiar, smiling face.
“Lucas…” Charlotte looked at his face in shock, and for a moment, she couldn’t tell if she was hallucinating or not.
Lucas suddenly said, “Don’t s.p.a.ce out. Hurry and get up!”
Immediately afterward, Charlotte felt a force on her waist as the strong arm thrust her body upward and threw her into a window.
Only when her hands and feet touched the cold, solid marble floor did she finally realize that she was still alive! Lucas didn’t die either! Moreover, he had once again saved her!
She raised her head to look at the window near her and saw that Lucas was hanging off the window with his knee bent and his calf inside. His body was still hanging outside the window!
“Waaa!” Charlotte yelled in terror. Lucas was in an extremely dangerous position, as he was leveraging only on his calf to remain hanging on the window. The slightest carelessness would cause him to slip and fall!
She hurriedly dashed over to pull him up from the window. But his calf moved slightly, and using the strength of his waist, his entire body flipped over from outside the window and then leaped in from the windowsill.
Seeing Lucas finally safe, Charlotte burst into tears of joy, and she suddenly hugged him while wailing.
“Lucas… You scared me! I really thought you were dead just now! Uwu! I’m so scared!”
At this moment, Charlotte was no longer the deputy general manager who often did a good job managing the company. Instead, she was sobbing and wailing like a child.
Lucas was caught between laughter and tears. He patted Charlotte’s shoulder comfortingly and said softly, “It’s alright. We’re safe now. You don’t have to be scared anymore.”
As Lucas comforted her, Charlotte gradually felt more relieved. But at this moment, she finally realized that she was hugging Lucas tightly. She was so frightened that she hurriedly let go and looked up at Lucas with tears in her eyes.
Bang!
Someone suddenly slammed the door open from outside, and several special police officers hurriedly sprinted in. They immediately saw Lucas and Charlotte standing near the window and finally heaved a long sigh of relief. “Great! Both of you are fine!”
When they saw Lucas, Declan, and Charlotte falling off the roof just now, they were terrified!
Fortunately, the other special police officers waiting downstairs conveyed the news in time and informed them that Lucas didn’t jump down but had instead hung off the window of the floor below roof in an extremely dangerous position. He had even waited for the opportunity to pull Declan down and save Charlotte.
The leader of the special police officers looked at Lucas with self-reproach while feeling thankful that they had survived the ordeal. He said solemnly with excitement, “Sir, you mustn’t do such a dangerous thing again in the future! What would have happened if something went wrong?”
Lucas smiled faintly and ignored him. Instead, he raised his hand that he had stretched out of the window. “I think you guys have to pay attention to this person.”
He was grabbing tightly onto a fancy spotted tie coiled around Declan’s neck!
Charlotte and the special police officers were dumbstruck.
It turned out that Lucas had not only grabbed Charlotte by the waist and threw her into the room but had also caught Declan while doing so!
But Declan had already turned pale with his eyes rolled back into his head because his weight was being suspended on the tie. He was about to suffocate to death.
Upon seeing this, the special police officers rushed forward, grabbed Declan over from Lucas’s hand, and pulled off the necktie coiled tightly around his neck. Declan desperately gasped for air, and the paleness of his face gradually faded.
But he hadn’t returned to his senses yet and was still in a daze.
“I think you have to interrogate this person properly,” Lucas said coldly while looking expressionlessly at the rescued Declan.
