Jumping out of the window would only take two minutes tops, and Matthew was agile enough to do it without a problem.
Just as he jumped, the staff member happened to witness the scene. She screamed.
Was that man insane? How could he jump off the building?
She thought that Matthew was committing suicide, so she frantically ran to the window and looked down, only to see Matthew unharmed.
After feeling momentarily relieved, she realized something was wrong. Was this man trying to escape? She could not let that happen.
Only when she was about to hurry downstairs did she discover Charlotte lying on the ground.
By the time Matthew caught up with the sinister man, the man was already in a sorry state. He was struggling to fend off the bodyguards.
However, he still held onto Lucy, showing no intention of letting her go.
Concerned about Lucy’s safety, the bodyguards were unable to effectively intervene, which helped the sinister man hold his own against them.
Now, Matthew had caught up and joined in. They did not seek a prolonged fight, and their goal was just to take Lucy from the man.
Seeing as the situation was no longer in his favor, the sinister man made a bold move. He pulled out a knife from his pocket and let go of Lucy, changing his stance to hold her hostage.
“Don’t move! You’re all just lackeys of this princess, aren’t you? If you don’t want her dead, then back off!”
Charlotte had ordered him to take Lucy away before killing her after a couple of days so that she would not be implicated, but the circumstances had changed.
Now that so many people had seen his face, he realized he could not escape.
If he failed to complete his mission, he would have to face repercussions from his leader. He might as well finish the deal on the spot.
