Chapter 2075 Ernest Cordova
Elisa observed the struggle in the man’s eyes, confirming his desire to live.
She suggested, “We’re alone here. You can tell me whatever you want. I’ll ask the police to leave so we can both
relax a bit, alright?”
The man remained silent, likely waiting for instructions over the phone.
Downstairs, the woman holding the umbrella glanced up, a slight smirk playing at the corners of her mouth.
Her thin lips parted slightly as she instructed, “Agree to her request,”
And so, the jumper stared at Elisa with apprehension, then nodded in agreement.
On the phone, Gareth heard Elisa’s decision and shouted emotionally, “Don’t do it!”
He anticipated Elisa’s plan. She would use this opportunity to get closer to the man under the guise of making
conversation easier.
However, that wasn’t her true intention.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn reality, she intended to find an opportunity to pull the man to safety. It was a highly dangerous
move.
If not executed properly, there was a high chance that Elisa herself could be pulled down instead.
Gareth couldn’t take that risk, nor could he afford to.
At that point, Elisa couldn’t hear his voice anymore, and even if she could, she probably wouldn’t follow his advice.
She was always full of ideas, and once she set her mind on something, no one could convince her otherwise.
Gareth, somewhat agitated, cradled his head in his hands, straining to listen more carefully to the situation
unfolding on the other side.
The police likely considered the safety of Elisa and the person attempting suicide, intending to intervene verbally.
At that moment, the person contemplating suicide ordered, pointing at the surrounding police officers, “All of you,
leave! I only want her to stay here.” He pointed at Elisa, his hand trembling.
The temperature was low.
Not only was it raining, but the wind was also howling on the rooftop.
Obviously, the trembling could also be due to fear..
After all, looking down from a hundred meters high, even those who weren’t afraid of heights couldn’t help but feel
their hearts race.
There was no choice. It was the demand of the person threatening to commit suicide. All the police. officers,
including those preparing to sneak up from behind, had to withdraw.

Only Elisa remained.
The rest of the police could only retreat to the back of the rooftop door.
As an old policeman was about to leave, he patted Elisa’s shoulder. There were many unspoken words. hidden in
this gesture.
The policeman was Ernest Cordova, who was in charge of security in that area. The two often met in public places

When she went missing before, Ernest had used his connections to search for her. They had a very good
relationship.
That was why Ernest patted Elisa on the shoulder.
Elisa made a proposal. Ernest knew that if anything unexpected were to happen, the consequences would be
unimaginable.
Ernest greatly admired her calmness in the face of danger.
However, he also didn’t appreciate her taking matters into her own hands. Clearly, he was worried about her.
But there was nothing he could do at that point..
In a soft tone, audible only to the two of them, Elisa reassured, “Don’t worry, Mr. Cordova, I’ll handle this. We still
have a drink to share later, don’t we?”
Ernest looked at her deeply, smiling as he said, “Alright. Stay safe, okay?”
Elisa nodded.
Ernest gathered his team and left.
However, the police didn’t just stand by doing nothing. Instead, they took a detour to the floor below, preparing
some rescue measures to prevent any unforeseen incidents.
