Chapter 183 Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was shocked.

lan’s eyes, which had been gazing at Clara with deep affection, suddenly darkened, a crimson hue seeping into his gaze. His voice cout ice-cold, “Then let her jump.

Dawson, wiping sweat from his brow, spoke with urgency, “Mr. Hayes, the situation is quite complicated. There's a press group at the hospital today, and Ms. Heidi's episode has gone viral. You're in the eye of the storm now.” lan’s forehead throbbed with tense veins, his fists clenched tight as if holding back a storm. His eyes locked onto Clara. He could see the shift in her the moment Grandma Rose posed her question. Hope flickered in Clara's eyes, a subtle but telling sign.

lan strode over to Clara and bent down, his intense gaze boring into hers. “Clara, regarding Grandma Rose's question, I'd like to hear your answer.” Clara lowered her lashes, veiling all the tumultuous emotions swirling in her eyes. A faint smile played at the corner of her lips as she spoke softly, “lan, life is at stake here. Go handle it. The overseas case has already cost Hayes Corporation dearly, and you can’t afford any more scandals right now. You need to think of the bigger picture.” Her words carried layers of meaning. lan’s eyes blazed with a red fury as he understood her implication. “Clara, trust me, I'll take care of everything. Wait forto get back.” Rose, seething with indignation, muttered, “Heidi is not like her mother May at all, always creating a spectacle, lan must have owed her something in a past life.” Clara responded with a soothing smile, “Grandma, let's not worry too much. How about sdinner? After all, we need to keep up our strength.” She picked up a bowl of food and handed it to Rose.

Rose, touched by Clara’s sensibility, sighed affectionately, “Clara, no matter what happens, I am on your side.” By the tlan reached the rooftop, a crowd had already gathered. Many were filming with their phones.

Heidi stood on the edge, crying and calling out lan’s name. When she saw lan’s grim expression, her cries grew even more pitiful. “lan, I know you don’t care for me, but I just want to be by your side. Please don’t ignore me. If even you turn away from me, life has no meaning” As she spoke, she feigned a step closer to the edge.

Paolo rushed to lan’s side, tears streaming down his face, pleading, “lan, please save Heidi. She risked her life to save you once. If it weren't for that, she wouldn't have lost the chance to beca mother. If she could have had children, she wouldn't be suffering from severe depression now. Plass for the sake ofand the debt you owe her, grant her request.” The bystanders, including the reporters, were stirred by Paolo’s words, and the pubis judgment turned toward lan.

“She can’t have children because of you, how can you reject her? That's so heartless.” “How much must a woman love you to do such a thing, and yet you don’t appreciate it?” lan’s face darkened with anger, unaccustomed to being so publicly admonished. He glared at Heidi with a chilling gaze and spoke in a voice that terrified her. “You have one chance. Are you coming up or not?” 1/2 14:37 Chapter 183 Heidi was frightened by his intimidating presence, but she needed to see this through for her own sake. Through tears, she shook her head. “lan, my life’s purpose is you. If you don’t care for me, then I'm better off dead. It'll make things easier for you and Clara.” With those words, she edged another step forward. One more move and she would plummet to her death. The crowd gasped in horror. From ten stories high, a fall would mean certain death.

Suddenly, a voice from the crowd shouted at lan, “What are you waiting for? Save her already, even if you have to lie to get her off the edge!”
