CHAPTER 154: CHAPTER 154: I’LL WAIT FOR YOU ON THE ROOFTOP

"Luna is not Chase’s child, you’ve misunderstood!"

Annelise Winter breathed a sigh of relief.

"Not Chase’s? Then tell me, if not Chase’s child, whose child is it?"

June Winter didn’t believe it.

Even though she got the answer she wanted from Annelise’s mouth, she still didn’t believe the child was Chase’s.

"I don’t believe it! You’re lying to me! The two of us were on our honeymoon in Breslin for a month, and he almost went to the hospital every day. I followed him to that hospital; he visited that child every day, and you tell me that child has nothing to do with him? If there’s no connection, then why do they look so much alike!"

June Winter couldn’t comprehend it.

During the honeymoon, she suggested going to Balora or Freyonne, but he insisted on going to Breslin for some reason.

It was only later that she realized it wasn’t for the honeymoon but to take the opportunity to visit the child.

If the child wasn’t Chase’s, why would he go to such lengths?

"June Winter, stop making a scene. I’ve told you, the child is not Chase’s! If you don’t believe me, what can I do?" Annelise was speechless.

"Then explain to me why the child looks so much like Chase?"

Annelise’s lips trembled, but she couldn’t utter a single word.

Should she tell June that it was because the child was Elias Warner’s?

No, she could never reveal that secret.

"What? Cat got your tongue? Annelise, you are so despicable and shameless! You’ve already broken up with Chase; why do you keep entangling him? You’re so despicable to use a child to tether his heart. Annelise, have you no shame?"

June Winter screamed hysterically.

Annelise slowly approached to comfort her: "June, calm down. If the child really were Chase’s, why would I hide that from him? I could easily use the child to stay with Chase..."

"Because your status is lowly; the Perry Family will never accept you. I am the true daughter of the Winter Family! You, Annelise, are just the child of a lowly farmer! You don’t belong in our circle at all!"

June Winter’s every word was like a pearl.

"You’ve already stolen more than ten years of my life, and now you want to take Chase from me too, Annelise! Why? Why do you always have to haunt my life like a ghost!"

June Winter’s eyes were red.

"What’s your ultimate goal in saying all this?" Annelise had no time to waste on such nonsense with June.

She needed to hurry back to Luna.

Luna must be terribly scared.

"Annelise, leave Chase! I’ll give you however much money you want if you leave Chase. I can even give you a large sum to leave Kybourne, as long as you leave Chase. I really love him!"

June Winter cried bitterly, her heart feeling like it was being torn apart.

"That’s enough, June. I’ve told you, that child is not Chase’s. How many times do I have to say it!"

"I’m begging you, sister, please let me go. I’m begging you. Is it because I took the title of the Winter Family’s eldest daughter that you’re using this method to get back at me? I don’t want anything. I can give you everything the Winter Family has given me, as long as you give me Chase!"

June Winter pleaded tearfully.

Annelise frowned; it seemed June would never believe that Luna wasn’t her and Chase’s child.

"June, calm down. The child really isn’t Chase’s! As for giving me back the Winter Family or whatever, I don’t care about that at all."

"Annelise, then what will it take for you to leave Chase? I’ll give you money to take the child and fly away far, never come back, and never appear in front of Chase again, okay?"

"Enough, June! I’m emphasizing again, there’s nothing between me and Chase. The child isn’t his, and I won’t have any more ties with Chase. As for Luna being my child, I’m warning you, don’t go around spreading rumors."

Annelise hadn’t even finished speaking when June lost her temper.

"Annelise, do you think I’m easy to bully? You and Chase had a bastard child, and now you’re afraid of me spreading the word? Then you should’ve taken medicine when you were pregnant with this bastard, so it wouldn’t come out! Now it’s born, and you feel ashamed?"

She laughed loudly, thinking Annelise’s demands were ridiculously absurd.

"Slap!"

A loud slap landed fiercely on June Winter’s cheek.

Instantly, five finger marks appeared on June’s face.

Half her face swelled up.

"If you dare call her a bastard again, don’t blame me for being impolite. Also, if you reveal that she’s my daughter, I’ll expose everything you’ve done. You think you can just walk away with the Winter Family’s status? Think again. Vincent Winter will definitely kick you out of the Winter Family, and Chase won’t want you either. Think carefully!"

Annelise’s eyes were cold.

As long as she could protect Luna, she was willing to do anything.

Before leaving, she only wanted to ensure Luna’s safety.

Annelise turned to leave the rooftop.

Just as she lifted her foot, a force pulled her back.

When she turned around, she saw June gripping her arm tightly.

"June, what are you doing? Let go of me!"

Annelise struggled, but June’s mouth curled into a sinister smile.

She dragged Annelise to the edge of the rooftop.

"Annelise, since I begged you and you won’t listen, then let’s die together!"

Annelise was roughly the same height as June but appeared much weaker. Despite her efforts to struggle, she was dragged to the edge by June.

At that moment, below the Airline building.

The crowd looked up at the rooftop.

Someone pointed at the two people on the rooftop and said, "Look, someone’s about to jump!"

Chase had just finished inspecting the plane and returned, seeing the people standing on the rooftop were none other than June Winter and Annelise.

He rushed towards the rooftop frantically.

On the rooftop

June still clung to Annelise’s hand, refusing to let go.

"June, are you crazy?"

"I am crazy. I can’t live without Chase. Since you won’t leave Chase, then let’s die together!"

"I’ve told you so many times, Luna is not Chase’s child!"

"Stop lying to me! Today we’re dying together!"

"Bang!"

The rooftop door swung open.

Chase burst in.

"June, what are you doing?"

Chase looked coldly at June; ever since they returned from their honeymoon in Breslin, Chase felt June had become strange.

What kind of scene was this today?

Seeing Chase, June’s emotions grew even more agitated.

She glanced at Chase and said coldly, "Chase! What are you doing here? To save Annelise? I’ll tell you, today I will perish together with Annelise!"

"June, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Chase couldn’t stand June’s spoiled temperament, always making a scene.
