My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！

523  Chapter 522

Gary stood on the edge atop the tallest skyscraper in Clance, staring blankly ahead.

Behind Gary, the lifeguards and Mrs. Spencer stood there.

Mrs. Spencer screamed in agony, "Gary, what are you doing? Don't do anything stupid, my good son. Please come down!"

But Gary looked at her, shook his head, his eyes brimming with tears, and his expression extremely agitated. "Mom, Nara will never forgive me; she said she would never forgive me!"

Mrs. Spencer's legs nearly gave out from fear as she cried. "Gary, she will forgive you. Just come over here. I'll go and beg for her forgiveness. I'll find a way, okay? Don't scare me!"

But Gary shook his head. "What can you do? Because I always listened to you, I pushed Nara farther and farther away…"

Mrs. Spencer shouted, "But I've always done things for your own good!"

"Yes, you were doing it for my good," Gary said in a low voice. "Ever since I was young, you were always doing it for my good. You forced me to drink milk every night, even when I didn't want to drink it. I didn't like it, but you thought it was good for me, so you forced me to drink it. Your idea of doing what's good for me is suffocating!"

Mrs. Spencer's expression stiffened, and she immediately said with guilt, "Son, I know what I did was wrong. I will never force you to do anything again! Will you come down, please?"

But Gary said, "Mom, just listen to me."

He laughed bitterly. "I know you've always wanted the best for me, but your love is too oppressive, you know? Ever since I was little, the happiest time of my life was spent at school with Nara. The only time I ever wanted to defy you was when I wanted to marry Nara. But you messed that up! You threatened me with death. What was I supposed to do?"

He laughed bitterly. "I know you've always wanted the best for me, but your love is too oppressive, you know? Ever since I was little, the happiest time of my life was spent at school with Nara. The only time I ever wanted to defy you was when I wanted to marry Nara. But you messed that up! You threatened me with death. What was I supposed to do?"

His tears flowed. "I loved Nara so much. Being with her, I felt an incomparable ease. I really couldn't bear to lose her, so under your spell, I said those humiliating words. Mom, I've lost Nara. She'll never forgive me now…"

Mrs. Spencer cried. "It's my fault, it's all my fault! Would you come back, please? Let's go to her together. I'll kneel before her and ask for her forgiveness!"

But Gary shook his head. "It's no use. Mom, do you know? When you forced me to break up with Nara, I was sad but not desperate because I had a dark thought like yours. Even if I chose Miss Gill, I could secretly stay with Nara. With our family's influence, we could even force her to be my mistress... But I never expected that Nara was Miss Gill! Our family's power simply isn't enough! I know she won't forgive me... I understand. I've completely lost her now…"

Mrs. Spencer wanted to say more, but Gary spoke first. "Mom, don't say anything. I wasn't brave enough and must pay the price for it!"

Mrs. Spencer shouted, "If anyone should die, it should be me! Don't punish me like this!"

Gary smiled at her, then said, "Mom, I love you. Don't feel guilty; my death has nothing to do with you. It's just that... without Nara, I don't want to live anymore."

"Mom, goodbye."

Those were Gary's last words before he jumped.

He even spread his arms as if embracing freedom or perhaps saying farewell to someone.

Falling, Gary kept his eyes open, quietly looking toward the row of tile-roofed houses not far away, where Nara's home was located.

Tears streaked from the corners of his eyes; in those few seconds of descent, his mind was filled with the time he had spent with Nara.

He saw Nara's sweet smile.

He had never said it, but he truly loved Nara...

"Thump!"

The sound of the body hitting the ground echoed through the entire street.

The surrounding crowd immediately scattered...

In the live stream, all that could be seen was Mrs. Spencer rushing to the rooftop's edge, calling out to the person below but making no sound. She stretched out her arms as if trying to grasp her son, who had jumped, but she only grasped empty air in the end.

She struggled desperately, wanting to jump down and die with her son.

But she was forcefully held back by the lifeguards.

Afterward, the screen showed a blurred image of the body lying on the street. Mrs. Spencer and a group of lifeguards hurried down. She threw herself onto the body and wept bitterly.

Though separated by a screen, those watching the livestream could still feel Mrs. Spencer's deep sorrow and pain.

Keira stared at the screen, her eyes wide with shock.

She didn't understand why anyone would commit suicide for love.

With Gary's death, how was Nara supposed to live the rest of her life?!

Keira suddenly looked at Lewis. "Let's go check on Nara again."

Lewis nodded.

Keira took a deep breath, turned around, and left with him. They got into the car and drove toward Nara's home.

On their way, Keira watched the live broadcast channel on her phone.

In the channel, one could only see that medical staff had arrived and covered the body with a white sheet. A group of onlookers stood quietly at a distance, pointing and commenting on the body.

Keira clenched her fists. "Do you think this has the South family's fingerprints all over it?"

Lewis pondered momentarily before answering, "We could try thinking from our enemy's perspective. How would you ruin your relationship with the Gill family if you were the enemy?"

Keira said, "It's simple: prevent Nara from ever returning to the Gill family."

Lewis asked, "And how can she be prevented?"

Keira frowned. "Actually, Nara is now unwilling to forgive those people in the Gill family. She could just stand by and do nothing. But that's not her style because family ties are the most unpredictable thing in the world. With Austin always prioritizing his sister, who knows when he might move Nara, and she might return to the Gill family, right?"

Lewis nodded and continued. "So, is there a way to ensure Nara never returns?"

"Unless she's dead, how else can there ever be a certainty?"

Keira casually countered.

But as she spoke, she suddenly paused and looked at Lewis.

At that moment, Lewis was also looking at her.

Their gazes met, and after half a second, they both exclaimed in unison.

"Nara is in danger!"

"Nara!"

Keira immediately looked down at the live broadcast on her hands, only to see that the body was still there, and Mrs. Spencer, who should have been weeping over the body, had disappeared!

Keira cried out in alarm, "Drive faster!"

Lewis floored the accelerator, and they sped toward Nara's home.

The place where Gary jumped wasn't far from Nara's home, but they had to go through the block where the luxury mall was, which took over forty minutes by car.

Even though Lewis was pushing the accelerator to the limit, it still took them half an hour to reach Nara's residence.

The car screeched to a halt, and Keira immediately opened the door. She bumped into Matias, who had just returned from grocery shopping.

He most likely hadn't watched the live broadcast and was unaware of what had happened.

Upon seeing Keira, he was slightly taken aback. "Keera? Why are you here again? Is something wrong?" n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Keira urgently asked, "Has Mrs. Spencer come here?"

Before Matias could respond, a neighbor basking in the sun said, "I just saw a middle-aged woman who looked like Mrs. Spencer. She went looking for Nara!"

She had come!

Without a second word, Keira dashed into the alley.

She ran so fast that bystanders saw only a blur as she passed.

But... it wasn't fast enough!!

Keira's heart raced with panic as she rushed straight to Nara's front gate, but she was still one step too late!!

Just as she saw Nara and was about to shout out her name, she saw Mrs. Spencer holding a knife and charging at Nara!

Keira's pupils shrank. "Nara!"
