She Is A CEO

Chapter 1199 Sacrifice

"Don't waste your words. Lucia used to be mine. Today, I'm taking her with me. Arthur, make your choice. Do you want her to leave with me alive, or do you want her to die with me?" Jacob shouted hysterically.

It had to be said that Spencer's incident gave Jacob a deep insight. He knew that Lucia could never be let go. However, the emotionally charged Jacob did not notice that Arthur and Dan were slowly moving towards him at an imperceptible speed.

"Arthur, we've run out of options. It's time for a forceful approach," Jack whispered to Arthur from behind.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

"What are the chances of rescuing Lucia safely?" Arthur asked.

Jack didn't answer.

Arthur furrowed his brow and stared intently at Jacob, while Lucia, who had been silently listening to their conversation, finally spoke up in a soft voice.

"Jacob, is it necessary for you to take this step? You know very well that there's no way you can escape from it..."

Jacob was not swayed by anyone's words, but Lucia was different. When he heard her voice, Jacob turned his head to look at her for a moment. During that moment, Arthur and Dan took the opportunity to move forward a bit more. The bodyguard had actually noticed their actions earlier, but strangely enough, he didn't alert Jacob. Perhaps it was because the person behind Arthur was staring at him or maybe he was afraid of getting killed himself.

Jacob suddenly sensed something and turned his head sharply. Even if he was slow to react, he had now noticed that Arthur and Dan were approaching him. The next moment, he swiftly pulled out the handgun hidden at his waist and pressed it against Lucia's head.

"Are you fucking daring to take one more step and see?!"

Upon hearing these words, Arthur immediately froze in place. His facial expression seemed to have solidified as he lifted his head and suddenly caught sight of Lucia being held hostage by Jacob. She gave him a slight nod with her starry eyes filled with unwavering determination, which Dan also noticed.

Dan glanced at Arthur, and at the same time, Arthur also looked at him with understanding. The two men who both deeply loved Lucia instantly understood each other's intentions through their eyes. Dan used a determined gaze to tell Arthur that two meters of distance was already enough.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Not just Arthur and Dan, but everyone ran towards Jacob and Lucia. However, even though they were fast, they couldn't catch up to Jacob who was standing next to Lucia. In that split second when Jacob realized what was happening, he still managed to grab Lucia's elbow with all his might as they both fell backwards in a state of helplessness.

However, Arthur and Dan, who were very close to them, had already agilely charged forward. Arthur lunged directly towards Lucia, exerting all his strength to hook her elbow. Meanwhile, Jacob was on the other side, and Dan's target was Jacob. Dan had intended to rush forward and subdue Jacob first, but the steep edge of the cliff proved challenging. The collision between the three of them was uncontrollable due to their momentum. In an instant, the situation formed where Arthur had hooked Lucia, Lucia was being held by Jacob, and Dan was lunging at Jacob.

Amid the shifting weight of the three

individuals, Arthur suddenly knelt down with a loud thud. The

tremendous force caused his knees to ache, and with another jolt, he was forced to lie flat on the ground.

His arms scraped against the harp

rocks at the cliff's edge, leaving several deep wounds that gushed blood, resembling knife cuts. The blood flowed down his arm, but he kept his grip tight, refusing to let go.

Lucia, still trying to stabilize herself, felt a warm sensation seeping onto her arm. She turned her head with all her might and saw Arthur suspending her with just one arm. Jacob and Dan were struggling nearby. The warmth she felt was Arthur's blood!

"Arthur!" All the fragility and grievances erupted in an instant. Although she had just been so resolute and brave, seeing Arthur injured, Lucia couldn't help but cry out.

And beneath them, Jacob was also struggling. He had Dan hanging onto him, and the only point of support was his hand gripping Lucia's arm. But he was already exhausted, and with the added weight of Dan, his arm started trembling within seconds.

Looking up, Jacob saw Lucia gazing

at Arthur, while Arthur exerted every ounce of his strength, refusing to let go of her. Jacob felt like the Grim Reaper was clinging to him, arrogantly emphasizing his

undeniable authority. Even if managed to pull Lucia up, Jacob's

stamina wouldn't last until that

moment. He realized that he could

never win Lucia back, and he had no

chance against Arthur. In his

despair, he contemplated a

desperate act.

At this critical juncture of life and death, Jack and the others had also rushed over. However, Arthur's upper body was already halfway down the cliff. They couldn't reach Lucia's hand, so they could only grasp onto Arthur's upper body, preparing to pull everyone up.

But before they could start pulling Arthur back up, Arthur, with his head lowered, saw Jacob raising the gun in his hand and pointing it towards Lucia's head. A sinister smile crept across Jacob's face. "Arthur, I'm going to make you suffer for the rest of your life!"

As he spoke, Jacob was about to pull the trigger. Arthur's eyes were bloodshot, and in agonizing pain, he screamed, "No!"

But the sound of gunfire still rang out, sharp and piercing, echoing through the sea cliffs.

However, Lucia was fine. She turned

her head in shock, and saw that Dan

UT

was smiling at her while holding Jacob tight and falling down. This was the first time he smiled so softly, and he held a gun. He already shot Jacob one step ahead, and it hit his temple, and at the same time, he also cut off his chance of surviving.

As he plummeted, Dan felt both disappointed and deeply moved as he gazed at Lucia's unforgettable face amidst the howling wind.

Unfortunately, until now, he hadn't had the chance to seriously say "I love you" to her...

A few seconds later, the bodies of Dan and Jacob hit the sharp rock at the bottom of the cliff, fell inch by inch, and finally rolled onto the beach.

Looking at the scene in front of them, not only Arthur and Lucia, but everyone was stunned. Maybe no one thought about how deeply Dan loved Lucia, so deep that he was willing to die for her.
