Chapter 992

A large crowd had gathered outside the Sterling Group building.

One could vaguely make out the red silhouette swaying up on the roof.

“I heard that the woman up there used to be the PR manager at Sterling Group! She was by Elliot Foster‘s side for

over a decade but never got anything out of him. She was so hurt that she decided to die right here! What a stupid

woman!” “Is she one who was disfigured not long ago?” “That‘s right! She used to be gorgeous, but she got

disfigured in a fire. What a shame! She could not win Elliot Foster‘s heart before she was disfigured. After her

disfigurement, he would want her even less!”

“There are plenty of women that Elliot Foster rejected, but did any of them want to jump off of a roof like this one?

There must be something wrong with her, right?”

“Who knows what goes on in the private lives of the wealthy? I just think she‘s really pitiful and feel sorry for her

right now!”

“There‘s a saying that pitiful people have hateful traits. If I wanted to die, I definitely wouldn‘t do it at someone

else‘s company building. Everyone in the building is still working right now! Does this woman not have morals at

all?!”

As the crowd chattered away, the fire department rushed to the scene.

Once the fire truck stopped in front of the buildir prepared their rescue efforts.

Up on the roof, a savage grin appeared on Chelsea‘s face as she stared down at the crowd below.

“It‘s over... It‘s all over...” she mumbled. Then, she leaped and jumped off the roof! Over at the hospital, Avery had

taken Layla in for a medical checkup. While they were waiting for the test results, Layla fell asleep in her mother‘s

arms. Avery sent a text message to Mike and asked him to meet her at the hospital.

Then, she glanced over at the large TV screen at the front of the lobby.

The screen was broadcasting the afternoon news.

“We have breaking news. An individual committed suicide by jumping off the roof of Sterling Tower this afternoon.

The incident has caused traffic to back up in the city. Motorists are advised to take an alternate route. We would

also like to remind everyone to value your lives...”

Along with the sound of the news anchor‘s voice, an image of Sterling Tower appeared on the screen.

The front of the building was surrounded by police tape. On one side of the police tape were

nosy onlookers, while there was a censored corpse on the other side.

Since Chelsea was wearing a red dress, all one could see was a red pile after the censorship. It looked almost like

an entire pool of blood.

Avery turned rigid as she felt a chill run through her entire body. Who was it who died? Why did they choose to

jump off of Sterling Tower? Mike arrived at the hospital soon after FTI+U[n) took Layla over from Avery’s arms.

Avery walked over to the counter to pick up Layla‘s test results. When she saw that all of Layla‘s vitals were normal,

Avery felt relieved. “Chelsea Tierney is dead, Avery,” Mike said softly. “She jumped off of Elliot’s office building.”

“I saw the news.” Avery‘s emotions had already calmed down, but she was still furious at the mention of this. “Good

riddance! She tried to poison Layla. She was evil! How could she drag a child into the grievances between adults?!”

Mike gazed at Layla‘s sleeping face, then said, “It‘s a good thing Layla was lucky.”

“Layla‘s classmate was poisoned to death, though. She was somebody‘s precious daughter, too!” “Let‘s head home

for now, Avery. There are too many people here,” Mike said. “Barely half the day has passed and a series of

terrifying events have happened one after the other. Let‘s head home to prevent anything else from happening.”

When they arrived back at the Starry River Villa, Elliot called. He had just returned to Avonsville. “Layla‘s alright.

She’s asleep. Go settle things at your company,” Avery said. “I‘ll come over to your place later, then.” Elliot

hesitated for a few seconds, then said, “Spend the next few days at home with Layla, Avery.” “I will. This made a

pretty huge impact on her. I‘ll have to wait until she get through this before I‘ll send her back to school.” “Thank

you. This must be hard on you.”
