Chapter 458
In the morning the next day, Cassandra was awakened by a phone call.
It was Vincent.
Cassandra’s expression changed. She picked up the phone impatiently, “What’s wrong?”
“Cassie, help me. Harper is going to jump off a building!” Vincent’s tone was full of anxiety and panic.
Cassandra turned over and sat up, somewhat confused about what Vincent said.
“What do you mean?”
“We found Harper. Now we are at Drieso International Airport and ready to go back to Zosteylor, but Harper went to the roof of a building outside the airport when my brother and I were distracted by something else. Now, he wants to jump off.” Cassandra could vaguely hear Theodore was persuading Harper.
Cassandra frowned. “You should go to the police instead of me for this kind of thing.”
Cassandra couldn’t save Harper, so she didn’t understand why Vincent called her.
Cassandra wondered whether Harper really wanted to die or if he was planning something
else.
Cassandra didn’t understand why Harper wanted to die. Her life was full of miseries before, but she had never thought about ending it by committing suicide. Harper was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and he grew up by his parents‘ side. And he even had a high status. Cassandra thought, ‘Why does he want to die?‘
“We’ve called the police and cordoned off the scene, but he won’t let anyone get close to him. Whenever we took a step closer, he would raise one of his legs, pretending to jump off the building. I have no choice. You are the reason why he feels guilty now. Can you save him?” Vincent kept his eyes on Harper and found that he was now very reserved, even a little afraid of the surroundings.
Vincent felt that Harper seemed to develop a mental problem.

“What does it have to do with me?” asked Cassandra impatiently.
“When my father severed the relationship with you, Harper was a little strange. He once ran away from home and was then sent back by Kenneth. Since then, he seldom smiles. This time, it seems to be because of your 20th birthday…” Vincent explained.
Such an explanation was a little unconvincing and even unfair to Cassandra. However, Vincent had no choice now. Otherwise, he would not have called Cassandra for help.
“Vincent, are you saying that it’s all my fault?” Cassandra’s voice was cold. Vincent was a little stunned. He realized that he had said something wrong.
“No. I just want to ask for your help. If you don’t want to persuade him, then I may have to watch him die in front of me.”
Cassandra hung up the phone directly after hearing that. She thought, ‘Why does he think that I will go? I owe them nothing, don’t I?’
Kenneth’s phone rang suddenly. “Hello?”
“Now?”
“Okay! Got it!”
After hanging up the phone, Kenneth said helplessly, “I have received a mission to save Harper. Otherwise, we all have unshirkable responsibilities in this matter.”
Kenneth was about to get up and go to finish the mission. Cassandra looked at him and asked, “What are you going to do?”
“Maybe I can get close to him secretly and then stop him from jumping off the building. What do you think?”
“It’s no use. Harper is actually very sensitive, but he doesn’t show it often. If you get close to him, he will find out.” Cassandra calmly analyzed the situation for Kenneth.
Although Cassandra was not very familiar with Harper, she knew Harper was not a fool. After all, he was Darren and Leanna’s son. Harper just pretended to be simple and ordinary.
Cassandra was sure that Harper was more powerful than she thought..
