Now They Want My Forgiveness - Chapter 298: Chapter 298

Jordan and Stella rushed to the rooftop, where there were quite a few cops and negotiators already.
When Joan saw Jordan, she lit up, but the moment she noticed Stella, her smile faded. "Why did you bring her here? Are you trying to humiliate me?"
Jordan held Stella's hand tightly. "She's my wife, and she is worried about you, so she came along. Nobody wants to humiliate you."
Joan forced a laugh. "Well, I don't think so. Did you tell her about what happened to me?"
"Yeah, I told her. If you hadn't done what you did, I wouldn't have said anything. As I said before, I didn't even want you to know. I only let you misunderstand because we are friends. I hope you'll understand it."
Joan laughed again. "So, you really don't have even the slightest bit of romantic feelings for me, do you?"
"Yes."
Stella's heart trembled. She thought he was so direct. She instinctively tugged on Jordan's arm and whispered, "Don't push her. She might do something crazy."
"If I don't just be honest with her now and keep lying, it'll only get messier when she comes down. Better to lay it all out at once," Jordan said.
It was cruel. But Stella understood what Jordan meant.
"Why? Why?" Joan cried out in utter despair.
Jordan looked straight into her eyes. "I've told you from the very beginning—I don't like you. I already have someone I love. But you just kept trying to win me over.
"When you do bad things, karma catches up with you. If you hadn't made those wrong choices, you wouldn't be in this situation now. You messed up, so you have to face the consequences. You made everyone up here and wasted all our time..."
Stella couldn't believe what she heard. She never expected Jordan to be so ruthless. She tried to stop him, but he pressed her hand, signaling that he knew what he was doing. Stella decided to trust him.
"If you really wanted to die, you could've gone off somewhere alone and done it in secret. Instead, you attract all these people here. It took me twenty minutes to get here, and you still haven't jumped. What are you trying to do?
"Use this to threaten me, make me divorce her, and be with you?" Jordan continued. Everyone was left shocked by what Jordan said.
Joan just stood there, stunned, unable to react. Some of the firefighters found it was a chance, so they started heading straight for Joan.
Joan was so lost in what Jordan had just said that she didn't even notice the firefighters closing in. Before she could snap out of it, they'd already pulled her back to safety.
Joan walked up to Jordan, shooting a glance at Stella before looking back at him. "So, there's not even the slightest chance for us?"
"That's right. Not even a little," Jordan said coldly.
Stella squeezed Jordan's hand tightly. If she were in his shoes, she wouldn't lead any of her admirers on, either.
Joan gave a self-mocking laugh, but when she looked at Stella again, her eyes burned with hatred, like Stella had snatched away everything that should've belonged to her.
After Joan was taken away, Jordan took Stella's hand. "Let's go home." But Stella didn't say a word.
Jordan gave her a puzzled look. "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. I'm just wondering if I really loved someone, just how far would I go for him?"
Jordan pulled her into his arms. "How far do you want to go? Anyway, you're only allowed to like me. No one else even gets a shot."
