After that, Tess closed her eyes and spread her arms, falling backwards off the cliff.


    "No!" Stefan lunged forward and grabbed her arm.


    Tess opened her eyes and looked at him in shock. She sobbed as she shook her head. "Mr. Hunt, I''m a


    sinner. Why did you save me? I should die. Let go!"


    "I believe that you didn''t harm her on purpose, so you can''t resolve this by ending your life..." Stefan


    frowned and forcefully tried to pull Tess up.


    Sweat rolled down his face as he hissed, "Come back and make up for it!"


    "No, I can''t... I really can''t. If I don''t die, she won''t let go of my family. My family will be worthless


    to her if I''m dead, and only then will they be safe!" Tess had decided to die before she climbed up the


    cliff. She wanted to fix her mistake, so she had called that woman over so Stefan could confront her.


    Then Tess would die, and everything would be okay again.


    "Cut the crap! I can''t hold you any longer... Come up!" Stefan had no energy to talk as he struggled to


    pull her up. The cliff was steep, and the surrounding rocks rolled down one by one. At the same time,


    Tess''s weight was pulling him down over the cliff, and he could no longer hold on.


    At that moment, Elijah finally reached the top. He immediately rushed over and helped Stefan pull Tess


    back.


    "Why did you save me? Why? I deserve to die!" Tessy on the ground, sobbing as she stared at the


    dark sky. She felt too guilty to face them.


    "You have to wait for my wife to recover if you want to die. We''ll let her decide if you should die or not."

    Stefan stood up and dusted off his


    clothes, not even bothering to look at her. He was no saint-he didn''t care whether Tess was alive or


    dead. He''d only risked his life to save her because he knew that Renee would want the same thing if


    she was around.


    Suddenly, a slim figure appeared at the top of the cliff.


    "Mr. Hunt, look!" Elijah''s eyes widened in shock.


    Stefan immediately turned around and met the neer''s gaze. It was a woman who was wearing


    thick ck clothes and a mask, exuding a grim aura. She looked like a phantom from hell.


    "Briar?" Stefan asked in surprise. Her appearance shocked him, but he recognized her immediately.


    Briar''s body began to tremble. She didn''t expect to see Stefan there, and she certainly didn''t expect


    him to recognize her, especially when she was all covered up this way. 3


    "You... You recognize me?” Briar choked out, tears running down her cheeks. Despite all the pain she


    suffered, Stefan could still recognize her.
