But she couldn't stay passive any longer, couldn't keep doing nothing, otherwise she'd really be taken advantage of, and he absolutely would not allow that to happen.
Tessa's eyes glimmered with cunning.
Suddenly, she viciously kicked Timothy Lawson and, as he was just feeling the pain and hadn't yet reacted, she fiercely shook off his hand and ran to the balcony.
Timothy Lawson, his expression steely, immediately stood up. When he looked up, he saw Tessa had already run to the balcony and climbed onto the railing.
He immediately shouted, "Tessa!"
Tessa frowned, standing on the railing, looked down at the ground—it was dark, she couldn't see anything. She then looked at Timothy Lawson and shouted, "Don't come any closer, if you do, I'll jump."
"Jump?" Timothy Lawson's eyes suddenly held a trace of humor. "Do you dare to jump?"
He then took out his phone and made a call: "Turn on all the courtyard lights for me."
