Chapter 415 Uncovering My Wife's Secrets
On the rooftop of the Parks Group building... The firefighters had already arrived. After tying the safety harness, they tried to persuade the Superstar Media CEO. "Sir, let's talk things out. Think about your family." "Don't come closer. If you do, I'll jump down." Superstar Media's CEO, Frederic Selleck, was sitting on the railing. He was extremely agitated. The truth was his legs had already gone soft. He could not move at all. But for that 400 thousand dollars, he was going all out.
He had lost a lot of money before the new year, having invested in a failed project. Besides, the economic climate was terrible, and he had no money left. Once he called Julian over, he would have fulfilled his side of the deal and secured 400 thousand dollars. If he could delay Julian for two hours, he would get an additional 200 thousand dollars. How could he find something as profitable as that? The firefighters were afraid that Frederic would jump down. They did not dare to go forward. There were more than 80 floors in this building. Even if they laid some safety nets below, it would be easy to shatter one's internal organs if one fell. The possibility of survival was still minuscule. Julian's executive assistant, Simon, had also been persuading him with kind words. "Mr. Selleck, think about your children. Your daughter is so beautiful. What if someone tried to treat her badly in the future? She would have no father to protect her." Simon had specially looked into this bastard's background to persuade him. "She had already forgotten about me when she had a boyfriend. She bought a 40-dollar pack of cigarettes for her boyfriend and a 6-dollar one for me. I don't want to live anymore." Frederic looked heartbroken. Simon immediately tried to persuade him again. "Then think about your wife." "She ran off with someone and cheated on me." "Think about your son."
"My son isn't my biological son... What's the point of living? I might as well die..." Simon was speechless. He wondered if everything Frederic said were true. If they were, it was no wonder Simon wanted to jump. "Tell Julian to come. Ask him to come to see me immediately. Otherwise, I'll jump now." Frederic was anxious when he noticed that Julian had not arrived. "I'm here." Julian's voice sounded. "Mr. Selleck, if you have any difficulties, we can sit and talk calmly. There's a solution for everything." The firefighter worried that Julian might upset Frederic, so he immediately leaned over and whispered, "Please do your best to persuade him." Some of his colleagues had already gone to the window on the floor directly below the 80th, thinking that if Frederic did jump down, they would pull him in. "Okay," Julian replied. Albert scolded Julian again. "You've only arrived at this time. Were you waiting for him to jump?" Alexander said in a deep voice, "Albert, let's not say anything." The most important thing now was to persuade Frederic to come down. Before Julian arrived, they had also taken turns to persuade him. However, Frederic was very stubborn. He repeatedly said that he wanted to see Julian. They asked him why he wanted to see Julian, but he said nothing. Albert glared at Alexander, feeling annoyed. How stupid, Albert thought. It would be better if Frederic jumped down. Albert would have had the opportunity to make things difficult for Julian if he did.
Albert thought about it. Then, he deliberately pushed Frederic's button. "Frederic, think about how much effort you've put in and how well you've treated your son. Does it matter if he's not your biological son? He still calls you his father..." Frederic was the kind of person who would do something reckless. Provoke him a little more, and he would surely jump. Frederic paused for a moment, stunned. Where did this fool come from? Why did he keep nagging? Did he want him to die? Frederic thought, "All my children are my flesh and blood, alright?" However, he howled cooperatively, "I don't want to live anymore...' Frederic moved, scaring the firefighters so much. that their expressions changed. He, too, was so frightened that his face turned pale. He quickly clamped his legs on the railing. Julian glanced at Albert coldly and said to Simon, "Dismiss all unrelated personnel." "Yes, Mr. Parks." Of course, Simon knew whom Julian referred to as "unrelated personnel". Immediately, Simon spoke politely to Albert, "Mr. Parks, it's too crowded here, and the wind is so strong. Please go back to your office and rest."
Albert pointed at Simon's nose. He scolded Simon, "Who do you think you are? Do you know who you're talking to? This is a matter of life and death. How can I be like some people and stroll around in peace?" "Take him away." Julian's voice became stern. Albert still wanted to speak. A young firefighter came over and grabbed Albert's arm. "Mister, this place is cordoned off. Please leave." Alexander pulled Albert. "Albert, I have something to tell you." "Hmph." Albert snorted and left. Once Albert arrived at his office, he asked Alexander, "What's the matter?" "Please take a seat," Alexander said to Albert. Albert sat down. Alexander poured a cup of tea and handed it to Albert. Albert frowned and said impatiently, "What did you want to say?" "Albert, I bought you a tea set." Alexander took the tea set and handed it to Albert. At first, Alexander had bought it to give to his client. "That's it?" Albert was not satisfied. Alexander sang praises about the gift. "This is a Dalestone clay teapot. It's very famous. Please accept it." "Why wouldn't I? I can't wait to use it." Thinking that he still had to rely on Alexander in the future, Albert's tone softened. "What I mean is, we have to put more effort into dealing with Julian. That was a perfect opportunity. As long as that person jumps, we can pressure Julian."
Alexander said, "Albert, that will massively impact Parks Group's reputation. Oh, by the way, I've expanded a few new customer pipelines. I'll talk to Timothy tonight." He quickly changed the subject. "Alright. Focus on improving your performance and work hard. There are only three months left," Albert said. On the rooftop, Frederic was still stalling for time. "Julian, you've made me suffer. Ever since I lost the company, my wife hasn't returned home all day. She's no longer the gentle and kind woman from before... I don't have any money, and my daughter doesn't like me..." He racked his brains and made up all kinds of stories. Julian looked at him indifferently and asked, "Are you done?" Frederic continued to make up stories. Julian was very frustrated. His phone rang. He immediately glanced at it. It was Trevor's message. "My men are here. I'll be there soon."
Julian was relieved. Julian let Frederic sit on the railing and complain about his life. Frederic then said he had lost his money in a gamble. He had gambled because he no longer had his company and had no more mood to work. Because he had nothing to do, he fell into bad habits. In any case, after beating around the bush, he finally shifted the responsibility to Julian. However, when the firefighters found out that Frederic was the one who took the initiative to propose his company acquisition to Julian and that he was satisfied with the price, they were speechless. Frederic must be here to extort money. Howeve, the firefighters had no choice. It was their duty to save him. Hence, they persuaded him while quietly making their approach. Frederic wanted to come down. He had been sitting there for at least an hour and needed to pee. Besides, it was too high and scary. However, he had to continue stalling for time. Hence, he shouted at the firefighters, "Don't come over." The firefighters were so frightened that they did not dare to move forward... On the other side.
