Chapter 998
The girls were doing this for her. So, she did not want to see them getting hurt.
“It’s okay, dear. I’ll go first. You can follow after I make sure it’s safe.” Mary patted Fia’s shoulder, comforting her.
“Sophia and I will grab you later when you descend. It’ll be fine.” Sophia skilfully helped Mary to the ground before
untying the rope around her waist. “Gee, this is even scarier than when I was training the kids in the camp.”
After all, these girls were proper ladies from high society. She would get in so much trouble if they got hurt!
Fia took a huge breath before saying, “Okay. My turn.”
Eileen patted her back and comforted her. “Don’t worry. I’ll be right behind you.”
She kept looking at the rope next to the window, not daring to let her eyes off of it. If the broke, she would do
everything to pull it up so that her best friend would not get hurt.
This was why she decided to go last, so she could protect Fia.
Fia, on the other hand, was too nervous to notice her friend’s thoughts.

descended with the rope.
“Madam, you’re on the ground now. It’s okay!” Sophia held Fia’s trembling hand and comforted her with a smile.
Opening one of her eyes, Fia finally realized she was on the ground. Her legs were so weak from the fright that she
almost fell down.
Grabbing her other hand, Mary said, “I was really scared too just now. This is
my
first time
ever climbing out a window like this.”
“If Conrad catches wind of this, he’ll break my legs.”
Yeah, this was no joke! She was still carrying their twins. How could she fool around like this?
Finally, it was Eileen’s turn. She had experience from filming in action movies before. The movie studio had strung
her up with wires to film dangerous scenes too. So, she was not afraid at all.
However, halfway down she felt the rope loosening. In an instant, her face was as pale as a sheet.
“What…What’s wrong?” Fia asked in a frightened tone.
Taking in a breath, Eileen said with a smile, “It’s nothing. I think the rope is coming loose. That’s all.”
Fia and Mary widened their eyes in shock as they quickly rushed to the rope, wanting to grab her if she were to fall.
Seeing the rope loosening again, Sophia swiftly dashed forward and jumped, grabbing Eileen into her embrace.
Then, they both fell to the ground with Sophia cushioning Eileen with her body.
Eileen’s face was as white as snow as she trembled in Sophia’s embrace. She kept murmuring ” It’s okay.
Everything’s okay” with tears rolling down her face.
“Oh god!” Mary screeched in horror.
Fia kneeled to the ground when she saw they fell. She crawled to Eileen and asked, “Eileen! Are you okay?”
Eileen smiled at her and said, “I’m fine. It’s just that… I got a fright. That’s all. Thank god you’re not the last one.”
Hearing this, Fia began sobbing.
After causing so much noise, the bodyguards had heard them and rushed to the scene. Even Mrs Whitley and Mrs.
Taylor came.

“How could… How could you fool around like that?!” Mrs. Taylor trembled in anger after learning what happened.
Mrs. Whitley held Sharon’s hand and scolded, “Don’t raise your voice like that! You’ll scare the girl.”
“I’ll have to inform Master Maxwell! This is ridiculous! What if Madam fell and
got hurt?!” “No, Mrs. Taylor!” Fia quickly stood up to stop Mrs. Taylor. “Please don’t tell him. Conrad has so much
work to do. I don’t want to make him worry.”
“Yeah, Mrs. Taylor! Please don’t tell him!” Eileen begged, worried that Conrad would forbid her from seeing Fia ever
again if he caught wind of this.
Glaring at the girls, Mrs. Taylor folded her trembling hands together. She was so frightened. and furious.
“Just what on Earth were you thinking?! Madam, if you want to go out for a stroll, you can tell me and I’ll arrange it
for you. How could you climb out the window like this?! You’re pregnant! You can’t fool around like this!”
Mrs. Whitley nodded in agreement. “Indeed. We can’t keep this from Mr. Maxwell. We should also tell Mr. Lane
about this.”
Mary had a feeling that she would get an earful from her husband tonight. This would be the first time she did
anything wrong that her husband would get a chance to scold her…
