Chapter 992


    Arge 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''spany 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 building, the firemen hurried out of the truck and 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 La in for a medical checkup. While they were waiting for the


    test results, La 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 nced over at therge TV screen at the front of the lobby.


    The screen was broadcasting the afternoon news.


    "We have breaking news. An individualmitted 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 ?g)> UJV> took La over from Avery’s arms.


    Avery walked over to the counter to pick up La''s test results.


    When she saw that all of La''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 La. She was evil! How could she drag a child into the


    grievances between adults?!"


    Mike gazed at La''s sleeping face, then said, "It''s a good thing La was lucky."


    "La''s ssmate 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 Vi, Elliot called.


    He had just returned to Avonsville.


    "La’s alright. She’s asleep. Go settle things at yourpany," Avery said.


    "I''lle over to your ceter, then." Elliot hesitated for a few seconds, then said, "Spend the next


    few days at home with La, 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."
