Elisa felt the weight of a grown man pulling her downward.
She braced herself firmly, determined not to be dragged down.
The man was taken aback by Elisa’s unexpected move. With his eyes tightly shut, he prepared for the
worst.
But the pain he anticipated never came. Slowly, he opened one eye and saw that Elisa had grabbed
him.
Elisa had no choice. She was the closest to the man, and she had to make a decision. She could either
watch a life slip away before her eyes, along with the company’s reputation being tarnished, or find at
way out of this desperate situation.

She took a risk because she had no other option.
The man’s eyes showed no relief from surviving a disaster, only sorrow.
Looking at Elisa, he pleaded almost desperately, “Please, I beg you, let me go. My wife and child are in
that person’s hands. I don’t want things to be like this, I really don’t, but I have no other choice
The man pleaded, preparing himself to pry Elisa’s hand open with his own.
Meanwhile, his body began to sway as if he might fall any second.
The people below, who had initially felt disgust or amusement, were now on edge. They hoped that the
man could be saved.
And so, the people below united, their voices rising up.
“Keep going! Don’t give up on your own life!”
“You’re still so young, bro!”
“That’s right! You have a brighter future ahead. Don’t give up now. Keep going, Elisa!”
In an instant, the tables were turned.
The people quickly scolded the bribed laborers who had spoken disheartening words.
“Are you guys really friends? How can you not care about your friend? Are you hoping for him to die?”
“I bet these people are just doing it for the money. They’re probably lying about the situation!”
“Ordinary laborers share a bond as strong as life itself. How could they possibly wish for one of their
own to die without even trying to dissuade him? There’s definitely something fishy about these people.
Call the police and have them arrested!”
Everyone realized that there might have been a secret scheme at play. As they looked at the terrible.
situation, the woman, the mastermind, spoke into her phone, but there was no response. Damn it!
It turned out that the man didn’t jump off the building, but his earpiece did.
Meanwhile, Elisa noticed that the man had lost his earpiece and saw an opportunity to do something.
Seeing him still twisting her arm, she lost her temper. “Are you a fool? Your wife and child are in
someone else’s hands, and instead of saving them, you’re seeking death. Have you verified it? Are
they really in her hands? Have you done everything you can to turn things around? What right do you
have to seek death?”
Elisa scolded the man, and he stared at her blankly.
Elisa continued to roar, “All you do is listen to what’s being said in your earpiece! Don’t you have any
independent thinking or judgment? If they tell you to die, will you just die? Is your life worth so little to
you? If I had known, I would have told your mother not to bother giving birth to you. Since you’re just
seeking death, why should your mother suffer? What was the point of her struggling to raise you?”
The man finally realized the truth, his mouth agape, unable to utter a single sound.
It was at that moment that the police swarmed in from behind.
