How Death Became My Rebirth by Evelyn Florence Chapter 458
Chapter 458
In the morning the next day, Cassandra was awakened by a phone call.
It was Vincent.
Cassandra’s expression changed. She picked up the phone impatiently, “What’s wrong?”
“Cassie, help me. Harper is going to jump off a building!” Vincent’s tone was full of anxiety and panic.
Cassandra turned over and sat up, somewhat confused about what Vincent said.
“What do you mean?”
“We found Harper. Now we are at Drieso International Airport and ready to go back to Zosteylor, but Harper went to the roof of a building outside the airport when my brother and I were distracted by something else. Now, he wants to jump off.” Cassandra could vaguely hear Theodore was persuading Harper.
Cassandra frowned. “You should go to the police instead of me for this kind of thing.”
Cassandra couldn’t save Harper, so she didn’t understand why Vincent called her.
Cassandra wondered whether Harper really wanted to die or if he was planning something
else.
Cassandra didn’t understand why Harper wanted to die. Her life was full of miseries before, but she had never thought about ending it by committing suicide. Harper was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and he grew up by his parents‘ side. And he even had a high status. Cassandra thought, ‘Why does he want to die?‘
“We’ve called the police and cordoned off the scene, but he won’t let anyone get close to him. Whenever we took a step closer, he would raise one of his legs, pretending to jump off the building. I have no choice. You are the reason why he feels guilty now. Can you save him?” Vincent kept his eyes on Harper and found that he was now very reserved, even a little afraid of the surroundings.
Vincent felt that Harper seemed to develop a mental problem.

“What does it have to do with me?” asked Cassandra impatiently.
“When my father severed the relationship with you, Harper was a little strange. He once ran away from home and was then sent back by Kenneth. Since then, he seldom smiles. This time, it seems to be because of your 20th birthday…” Vincent explained.
Such an explanation was a little unconvincing and even unfair to Cassandra. However, Vincent had no choice now. Otherwise, he would not have called Cassandra for help.
“Vincent, are you saying that it’s all my fault?” Cassandra’s voice was cold. Vincent was a little stunned. He realized that he had said something wrong.
“No. I just want to ask for your help. If you don’t want to persuade him, then I may have to watch him die in front of me.”
Cassandra hung up the phone directly after hearing that. She thought, ‘Why does he think that I will go? I owe them nothing, don’t I?’
Kenneth’s phone rang suddenly. “Hello?”
“Now?”
“Okay! Got it!”
After hanging up the phone, Kenneth said helplessly, “I have received a mission to save Harper. Otherwise, we all have unshirkable responsibilities in this matter.”
Kenneth was about to get up and go to finish the mission. Cassandra looked at him and asked, “What are you going to do?”
“Maybe I can get close to him secretly and then stop him from jumping off the building. What do you think?”
“It’s no use. Harper is actually very sensitive, but he doesn’t show it often. If you get close to him, he will find out.” Cassandra calmly analyzed the situation for Kenneth.
Although Cassandra was not very familiar with Harper, she knew Harper was not a fool. After all, he was Darren and Leanna’s son. Harper just pretended to be simple and ordinary.
Cassandra was sure that Harper was more powerful than she thought..

For example, both Theodore and Vincent showed amazing hacking skills. Harper was Darren’s biological son, so how could he not know hacking skills? He just didn’t want to
show it.
Cassandra knew that Harper was hiding something. He lived with a mask.
But now Harper didn’t want to live like this, so he used hacking technology to hide his tracks. If Cassandra hadn’t found out that Harper had no one to help him, she might not have realized it.
Kenneth was lost in thought. It was a little tricky, but he had gotten the order that he had to make sure that Harper could return to Zosteylor alive.
“I’ll go with you. I’ll help solve the problem.”
Cassandra knew that she had to go and do something given the current situation.
“Okay, if you feel unhappy, you can stop at any time. I think I can do it. It is just to save a man.” Kenneth didn’t want Cassandra to do something she didn’t want to, so he told her in advance that she could quit at any time..
Since Harper didn’t care about his own life, Kenneth thought there was no need for others to care about him. He thought it was ridiculous.
“Okay.”
Harper sat on the edge of the rooftop and seemed to be watching the landscape below.
Harper muttered under his breath, “What a beautiful spring! It is really good. I want to
blend with it.”
“Harper, what are you doing?” A familiar girl’s voice sounded behind Harper.
Harper looked back in surprise. “Cassie, why are you here?”
“If I don’t come, when are you going to come down or jump?”
Harper was dumbfounded. He didn’t want to, but he couldn’t control himself. It was not the

first time he wanted to die. However, he hadn’t seen Cassandra yet, so he didn’t choose to commit suicide before.
Harper followed Theodore and Vincent to Drieso. He would be satisfied if he could see Cassandra once.
Harper felt that he owed a lot to Cassandra, so wanted to pay for that by committing suicide.
“Cassie, I’m sorry. I…” Harper wanted to say a lot of things, but he couldn’t utter a word
now.
“I don’t need your apology,” Cassandra said coldly. “From the time Darren took Hugo away, we had nothing to do with each other. Later, your behavior can only be described as ‘excessive‘. I don’t know what you want to do. Since we have been peaceful for so many years, why not continue it? Why do you want to break it all now? What makes you think that you can move me to change my mind?
“What can you rely on to move me?
Do you have a shame? You and your brothers appeared in front of me one by one. Why do you act like victims since you had made a choice back then? And in the end, your father served his relationship with me. Do you think I’m just a commodity you can buy and return at any time?”
Harper wanted to step forward and explain. “No, it’s not like that. It’s not like that. I didn’t. I never had such a thought!”
“It doesn’t matter now. Your brothers, father, and you had made your choices. I admit that I was a little ignorant when I was in Leanna’s belly and transferred all the poison to you, which made you suffer for more than ten years. So, I deserved the hardship I went through. afterward. I accepted it and I cured you. But you can’t be insatiable.
“Since you want to die, you can go back to Zosteylor and die there. Don’t die in Clusia, and don’t die in Drieso. Your death will cause trouble for our country. You are the monarch of Zosteylor, and you should know what you stand for. You cannot die here as you want.”
Cassandra’s words were ruthless, and every word she said broke Darren’s heart.
“So… you’re just worried that my death will bring trouble to Clusia.” Harper smiled bitterly. “It doesn’t matter. I will tell everyone that it is my decision. To some extent, I am also
