She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew) novel Chapter 400

Chapter 400 

Jaden did mist speak right away He simply unlocked his phone and searched online to check if Linda’s claim of jumping off the building was four 

The trending topics in the city confirmed it was real, 

In numerous photos and videos, a woman was seen leaning over the railing on the roof of the South Lake Plaza shopping mall. Half of her body was hanging over the edge, looking darurously close to falling. 

The shopping mall had five floors, standing at around about Ind feet tall, making it clear enough for the onlookers below to capture the scene. 

He could confirm that the woman in the photo was Lin 

She was dressed in a flowing red dress, her hair tied up behind her head. She was lying across the railing, holding onto it with both arms, and one of her hands seemed to be gripping her phone. 

Below her, there was a dense crowdd, with countless people holding their phones, either taking photos or recording videos. 

Jaden. I can’t hold on for much longer.” Linda’s crying voice came through Jaden’s phone again. “I know been together for a long time. If you really like her. I wish you both the best.” 

you and Luna have 

“But our relationship isn’t over yet. I never mentioned breaking up with you, nor did I ever agree to break up” 

just want to see you now, to open up and explain our relationship, to give a closing for all these years we’ve spent together.” 

Jaden knew Linda too well. 

She absolutely could not bour to die; this whole stunt was nothing but emotional blackmail. 

Also, what Linda said earlier sounded very strange, as if he was cheating on Luna. 

He wondered if Linda was recording their conversation, trying to catch him in something. 

At the thought of this, he made a prompt decision and pressed the recording button. In a gentle and concerned voice, he said, “Linda, although we haven’t been in contact for several years and you’ve long been married and have two stepsons, I still hope that you can live a good life.” 

“I’m begging you. Don’t do anything stupid. I’m going to see you now.” 

If it was two years ago, he would have hung up the phone without hesitation and let Linda do whatever she wanted. 

But now, it was different. 

Almost everyone in the Donovan family was a public figure–whether in big business or as celebrities in the music, film, and sports industries. And they were all still on the rise, with countless eyes on them. 

He absolutely could not let Linda have anything on him, especially not to cause chaos for Luna and the Donovan family. 

On top of that, Linda’s stunt was so low that it had already angered him. 

This time, he had to end Linda. 

“Then come quickly!” Linda cried. “If I don’t see you, I’ll really die.” 

“You must wait for me.” Jaden quickly walked out of the room, stomping on the ground and slamming the door shut, the sound of hurried footsteps and the door closing echoing through the house.

Chapter 400 

It was as if he were rushing out the door. 

Tll wait for you, Linda said. Tl wait for you until I die.” 

“Alright, I’ll see you there,” Jaden replied. “I’m going out now. Tang up first 

He hung up the phone and stuffed it into his pocket. Then, he slowed his pace and leisurely made his way downstairs. 

At this time, his grandparents were out, and Josie was at the art troupe. 

The villa was empty, with only him and a few small ones at hom 

He came to Dolli’s cat bed, feeding her slowly and stroking her few times. 

Next, he went to Bello’s dog kennel, gave it food and water, and pitted its head before heading out. 

On his way out, he greeted Harry and Hommy, reminding them to keep an eye on the house. 

After leaving, he glanced at the sky, put on his mask, and walked down the mountain at a leisurely pace. 

Although it was midsummer, the heavy rain last night had cooled the air. The weather was relatively cool today. Even without a hat or umbrella, it was not too hot. 

The neighborhood had great greenery, with many trees. After leaving the area, he walked onto Lakeside Avenue, where trees lined both sides of the road. The shade kept him from worrying about the sun, making it perfect for a walk. 

At this moment, Linda was sitting on the railing, tightly gripping it with both hands and feet, constantly scanning the area below. 

She wondered why Jaden had not arrived yet. 

It only took six or seven minutes to drive from Mid–Level Mountain Garden to here, so why hadn’t he come after half an hour? She thought. 

She kept calling Jaden, but no one answered. 

Linda thought, ‘Could it be that Jaden was in such a hurry to drive out that something had happened on the way?” The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. Sweat and tears mixed together, smearing her face. With her body aching and her limbs going numb, she was not sure how much longer she could hold on. 

Before calling Jaden, Linda had already been pacing along the edge of the roof for over half an hour, crying loudly and shouting at the sky. “What’s wrong with me? Why did you abandon me?” “Is my years of love not as good as that woman’s beauty?” and so on. 

After the passersby downstairs noticed her and began to gather around, Linda climbed onto the railing and pretended to be about to jump off the building in an attempt to commit suicide. 

She had been on the rooftop for over an hour, and with the immense psychological pressure, she became exhausted. 

More and more people gathered downstairs, their numbers growing from a small crowd to a large mass. Even the intersection had been blocked. 

The police and traffic police had arrived. 

A few officers made their way to the rooftop. The nearest one was only sixteen to nineteen feet away from her, continuously urging her not to act impulsively and to come back quickly.

“I want to see my boyfriend Linda cried out. She was also afraid already called him. He’s on his way. I won’t leave und twee him 

or 

Falling, aut her tears and sobs were not feigned. Ive 

Don’t come near me and don’t force ine, be it pump down. Ita shosted her sore wembling 

A kind–looking female police officer with a warm enice said, “Ce me your boyfriend’s momber. Ill call hins now t necessary, we’ll go pick him up ourselves? 

Linda had been hoping to hear exactly that 

She gave the officer Jaden’s phone number, crying as she said. “Hon’t really want to die I want to live well, but I love him too much. To be abandoned by him like this. Til rather die 

The office tried to comfort her while dialing Jaden’s number. 

The call connected, but no one answered. 

Downstairs, the police had already brought in a large life–saving cushion, placing it directly under Linda. 

When Linda saw this, she finally felt a bit more at ease. She quietly thought to herself, “If things get really had. I’ll just jump. It’s only a five–story drop; it won’t kill me, it won’t injure me: 

“However, if I’m really forced to jump off a building by Jaden, I’ll publicize my relationship with him before I jump. I’ll make sure everyone knows he cheated and that Luna is the mistress.” 

“So what if Luna is rich and powerful? I’m jumping off the building anyway. How could anyone doubt what I’m saying? “Hehe, at the very least, I’ll drag Luna down with me. I won’t lose out.” 

With this thought in mind, she continued calling Jaden, but the call still did not go through.
