“Shouldn’t you be grabbing on?”
I was puzzled, but reached out for the ladder.
The helicopter brought me higher into the air while my heart was filled with confusion.
Lucas had always hated me. What had changed his mind?
Whatever it was, he still saved me.
Once we got somewhere safe, I wanted to get Lucas to send out his private plane to save the rest of the people back at the airport.
I was choosing my words while climbing up to get inside the helicopter.
Yet the helicopter stopped rising.
Then, Shevonne poked her head out. Her expression was one of malice.
“Idiot, did you really think we came to save you? You kept disturbing me and Lucas. We’re here to teach you a lesson!”
She laughed and took out a sharp knife.
I instantly understood what she wanted to do. However, I could do nothing while hanging in midair. I cried out for Lucas to save me.
Lucas did not stop Shevonne. Instead, he looked at me icily.
“You deserve what’s coming for telling such a malicious lie, Elise. Don’t worry, you won’t die from falling from this height. You’d better keep this in mind: Don’t ever use such tricks to try and fool me again!”
Shevonne sawed the rope with her knife in a leisurely manner.
“Lucas, this knife is so dull. My arm hurts from cutting the rope.”
Lucas’s heart ached for Shevonne. The two hugged and kissed sweetly as I fell into despair.
It was only when the helicopter flew past a soft field that Shevonne peeked out again.
When she saw the ground beneath turn to hard cement, she smirked.
“See you never, Elise Avignon.”
As she said this, she sliced the rope, and it crackled as it frayed.
The rope snapped.
Before I hit the ground, I covered my tummy in despair.
