Chapter 397_Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez

People said a man’s knees were worth their weight in treasure. Dex’s act of kneeling won the sympathy of everyone present -except for Yvette and the masterminds behind the scene, Nelson and Warron.

 Also, Zoe and Lucas were unaffected by Dex’s words. Lucas looked at Dex with a slightly cold stare. He believed that Yvette wouldn’t dismiss an employee without any reason. Dex must be at fault, and this drama only heightened the suspicion.

 Zoe wasn’t swayed by Dex’s words because she hadplete trust in Yvette.

 Yvette looked at Dex, who was trembling on the ground. Yvette walked forward casually with her hands in her pockets and a calm expression. Everyone stepped aside automatically, creating a path.

 Yvette stopped ten feet away from Dex, her gaze indifferent. Ever since she returned to Clusia, her encounters with rooftops seemed endless.

 Dex looked up at Yvette, his body trembling under her knowing gaze.

 Yvette smirked slightly, raising one eyebrow with a hint of mischief. She asked calmly, “It’s dozens of meters high. Do you think jumping down would mash you up like a pancake?”

 Dex was startled. Everyone behind him had astonished expressions. They thought, ‘What’s Ms. Zeller doing? Talking about whether a fall would tten someone at a time like this? Isn’t that a little excessive?‘

 Yvette’s expression was unusually serious as if she were just chatting casually. She looked at Dex calmly.

 Dex’s mind was a bit confused now, not knowing how to respond, so he just stayed silent.

 Yvette casually took out a piece of vani toffee, not in any rush, and looked rxed.

 Nobody knew how to describe their feelings at the moment. They thought, ‘Someone is jumping off a building. Why does Ms. Zeller stay so calm and unconcerned in such a serious situation?‘

 Then he took a small step Dex thought repeatedly and assumed that Yvette was trying to scare him, thinking he wouldn’t dare jump. He didn’t dare, but when he thought about the extra 660 thousand dors, he gritted his teeth and stood back up.

 Sure enough, when everyone saw this, they gasped again, and the atmosphere became tense again.

 Dex felt smug, thinking, ‘Will Ms. Zeller still be able to stay calm now?‘

 Yvette stared at Dex and said slowly, “Go ahead and jump.”

 The people behind couldn’t believe their ears. They thought, ‘What is Ms. Zeller talking about? Telling Dex to jump? Has she lost her mind?‘

 Nelson and Warron exchanged a knowing look, both appearing amused. They thought, ‘Howe she said something so ridiculous? If this is spread around with a bit of exaggeration, the public will definitely not let her off easily.‘Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

 Dex’s body was stiff. He stared at Yvette with wide–open eyes, trembling so much that he could barely speak. He asked, “Ms. Zeller, are you telling me to jump? Are you forcing me to jump off the building?”

 Yvette fiddled with her ear and lifted her eyes slightly. She said calmly, “Did I tell you to stand there? If you’re not going to jump, why are you there? Are you enjoying the scenery?”

 As soon as Yvette said this, a few people couldn’t hold back theirughter. They thought, ‘Ms. Zeller’s words are sharp, but they make sense. Isn’t he standing there because he is considering jumping?‘

 Dex was taken aback by Yvette’s words and was momentarily speechless. The atmosphere turned quiet.

 Nelson and Warron realized things were not looking good. Concerned that Dex might not cope, Nelson quickly said, “Dex, don’t think you can fix things this way.

 “Even if you jump today, theyoff list won’t be withdrawn. Let’s discuss this instead of making it so awkward.”

 Upon hearing Nelson’s words, Dex forced himself to move closer to the edge. His legs were shaking at that distance, and taking one more step would mean falling.

 Falling from such a height, Dex indeed wouldn’t survive. ‘Fortune favors the brave,‘ he thought and decided to take the risk.

 Seeing he had made his point, Nelson became silent.

 Dex shouted, “Ms. Zeller, why are you firing me? What did I do wrong? You owe me an exnation, and if you don’t give me one today, I’ll jump right now.”

 Yvette raised her eyebrows and walked toward Dex calmly. This time, she stopped less than 3 feet away from him.

 Lucas and Zoe gasped in surprise from behind, “Be careful, Ms. Zeller!”

 Dex was shocked. Everyone present was also taken aback. They thought, ‘What’s Ms. Zeller going to do? If she keeps walking, she’ll end up standing at the rooftop’s edge like Dex. It’s too dangerous.”

 Dex didn’t have any strength at that moment. Watching Yvette get closer, he could only keep repeating, “Stay back, don’te any closer.” Unfortunately, it was useless.

 Just one more step away, Yvette stopped in her tracks, hands in her pockets. She took another step, and now she was aligned with Dex. Yvette looked down. With this height, one could fall badly, but it wouldn’t be fatal.

 Dex’s heart raced with fear as he nced at Yvette beside him, deeply terrified. He thought, ‘Ms. Zeller is crazy. I am scared standing here, but she doesn’t react at all.

 Dex trembled as he said, “Ms. Zeller… I… As long as you promise not to fire me, I won’t jump.”

 Yvette looked at Dex with a slight tug of her lips, her expression indifferent and her voicepletely devoid of warmth. She said, “Go ahead and jump. It looks like you need my help.”

 Yvette and Dex’s situation made everyone below highly nervous. Lucas and Zoe were in a panic while other employees watched the scene with mixed expressions.

 Although Nelson and Warron didn’t know what Yvette intended to do, they hoped she would fall. The crowd heard Yvette’s words and fell silent in shock. They thought, ‘What does she mean by saying that?‘

 The next moment, they understood.

 Yvette took gloves from her pocket and calmly put them on. Then she grabbed the trembling Dex and casually threw him off the rooftop without saying a word.

 Everyone was shouting with panic: “Oh my gosh!” “Ms. Zeller’s gone mad!” “What’s she going to do?” “Hurry, save him!” Nelson and Warron, the nners of this scheme, were stunned. They thought, ‘How could this happen? Howe Ms. Zeller dared to push Dex off right in front of everyone?

 ‘Did she even understand the consequences of this action? How could she be so daring?‘

 Lucas and Zoe immediately ran forward, followed by most of the staff. But halfway through, therge crowd abruptly stopped. They couldn’t believe what they were witnessing.

 Amidst everyone’s cries of surprise, Yvette reached out and caught Dex. Dex’s legs were dangling high up, suspended in mid–air. A single mistake, and he would fall to his death.

 Everyone was stunned, which made them overlook an astonishing fact: Yvette was holding up a grown man with just one hand–how was that even possible?

 Dex’s mind was aplete mess. Just moments ago, he thought he was done for. Now, he didn’t dare move as the early autumn wind bit painfully against his face. He looked up, staring at Yvette. Fearpletely overtook him.

 Dex regretted it. He thought, ‘What good is 1.5 million dors if fall to my death? Money is meaningless if I can’t enjoy it.‘

 Dex wanted to plead for mercy, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a gust of wind filled his throat, making it ache. But right now, he couldn’t worry about that.
