Chapter 474
Nara’s eyes bulged.
She wanted to hold onto the iron rod, but before she made any move, Austin had already swiftly reached out to grab it. He then glared at her fiercely and, with one forceful tug, snatched the rod away!
Immediately after, Austin threw the rod to the bodyguards behind him.
With no weapon in her hands, Nara was surrounded by the other bodyguards, trapped in their midst. She tried to escape, but the bodyguards caught her again.
Lady Gill rushed in front of Austin, looking at him anxiously. “Are you alright?”
Austin nodded. “Mom, I’m fine.”
Lady Gill immediately glared at Nara. “You dared to lay a hand on my Austin?!”
Nara bit her lips hard.
Couldn’t Lady Gill tell why she attacked him? She was just defending herself!
Even at the last moment, she had loosened her grip; otherwise, that blow would have definitely cracked Austin’s skull, and he would have lost his life!
Nara crouched down painfully, covering her head with her hands.
She didn’t understand why she had softened at the last moment…
Even though her mother and brother had been so cruel to her, so cruel… yet she still couldn’t bring herself to seriously harm her brother…
At this moment, Nara was utterly despondent.
Seeing her like this only fueled the fury in Lady Gill’s eyes. She immediately looked at Austin. “Go get someone to bandage your wound.”
Austin shook his head. “That can wait, Mom. Just deal with this woman quickly.”
Lady Gill took a deep breath.
Suddenly, she stepped forward and gestured with a wave of her hand to the two bodyguards holding Nara. “You two, stand back!”
The two bodyguards stepped aside.
Lady Gill then coldly looked at Nara.
Nara slowly raised her head to look at her, her eyes filled with hatred.
Lady Gill didn’t care what she was thinking. She simply pointed to the rooftop side and said in a cold and heartless tone, “You now only have two choices. One, take off your clothes willingly. Two, jump off this roof!”
Nara’s eyes widened, looking incredulously at her.
Lady Gill glared at her. “You dared to attack my son. I won’t let you off today! Nara, I’ll give you ten seconds to think. If you don’t make a decision by the time I finish counting, don’t blame me for not being courteous!”
After saying that, she began to count down while looking at Nara.
“Ten…”
“Nine…”
…
Downstairs at the hospital, Keira and Matias arrived in a taxi.
After getting out of the car, Matias yelled, “You go first! Don’t worry about me. I can’t run fast enough!”
His leg was injured, and he obviously couldn’t move quickly.
Hearing this, Keira didn’t hesitate and ran straight toward the inpatient department.
She charged into Jackson’s hospital room but didn’t see Jackson there. She quickly grabbed a passing doctor. “Where did Jackson go?”
The doctor was slightly stunned. “I think he’s on the rooftop.”
The rooftop…
Keira’s pupils shrank.
She immediately ran toward the stairwell and began to climb the stairs as fast as she could.
“Nara, you must hold on!
“Wait for me!”
On the rooftop, Lady Gill was still glaring at Nara, continuing the countdown.
“Five…”
“Four…”
In the stairwell, Keira was running hard, hearing the countdown from Lady Gill but not knowing what was happening.
But it definitely wasn’t anything good!
There was a hint of panic in her head as she rushed to the stairwell entrance, just in time to hear Lady Gill continue the countdown.
“Two…”
“One!”
Keira felt a jolt of panic.
On the rooftop, Nara looked at Lady Gill.
Her eyes held not a single ripple; she was just quietly staring at her mother.
This woman, blinded by hatred, was no longer the same kind and gentle mother from her childhood memories…
Her gaze was full of resentment, carrying an unresolvable fury.
Nara’s jaw tensed. Her gaze fell on Austin once again, then she swept her gaze over the bodyguards, and finally, she looked at Jackson.
Jackson was staring at her with a smirk, his face full of smug triumph.
Nara closed her eyes in despair.
How could she… have a mother and brother like this…
To force a young woman to strip in front of an audience…
She wouldn’t do it.
As Nara thought of this, she let out a miserable chuckle.
She heard Lady Gill’s voice as if it was coming from a faraway place and yet as if it was right next to her ear. “The countdown is over, Nara. Since you didn’t choose, the bodyguards won’t have to hold back anymore. Strip her clothes off right now, immediately!”
In Nara’s mind, it was as if a gentle conversation flashed by, still Lady Gill’s voice, “My precious Barbara, all the most beautiful clothes in the world are yours…”
Nara let out a miserable smile.
Suddenly, she broke free from the bodyguards on both sides and rushed to the edge of the rooftop!
She took one last look at Lady Gill and Austin.
“Mom, brother, goodbye!
“I never want to see you again!”
With that thought, she leaped forward and jumped over the edge.
Lady Gill, upon seeing that last glance, felt an inexplicable panic in her chest, but she quickly calmed down.
Austin said in a panic, “Mom, she jumped!”
Lady Gill’s gaze turned ice-cold as she said, “This is only the fourth floor; she’ll live. What’s there to be afraid of?!”
Then she turned to Jackson. “There, are you happy now?”
Jackson nodded.
Lady Gill then demanded, “So now you can tell me where my daughter is, right?”
Austin also shouted, “Right, she’s already jumped; tell us, where’s my sister?”
Almost as soon as they said those words, Keira’s cry came from the rooftop entrance. “Lady Gill, have mercy! Nara is your biological daughter!!”
