Jamie summoned the hotel concierge, lifted her gown, and said determinedly, âFollow that car.
â
In the car, Jarrod sat rigidly, absorbed in a live stream on his phone.
His lips were a tight line, his demeanor chilling.
Crack! Suddenly, rain started pelting down heavily.
The heavy downpour cast a gloomy shadow over the city.
Despite the poor signal and noisy background, Jarrod could hear panicked voices.
âs BunnyBookery âOh, my God! Someoneâs about to jump off that building!â
âWhy would he want to kill himself by jumping off the Lawrence Group building? Could he be an employee in a dispute with the Lawrence Group?â
âIâve heard itâs the CEO of the Lawrence Group.
The reason for his decision to leap is unclear.
The police were here for him earlier, likely to arrest him.
Perhaps the pressure became too much for him to bearâ¦â
The crowd buzzed with speculation.
Upon hearing these, Jarrodâs eyes reddened with rising anger.
âAlec, investigate the issue with Nicoleâs father,â Jarrod instructed.
âUnderstood, Alec responded.
Jarrod massaged his aching temples.
Jarrod had encountered Wesson on several occasions and found the latter shrewd and complex.
The thought of such a man contemplating suicide puzzled Jarrod.
Was Wesson actually going to do it? Or was it just an act?
Internally, Jarrod mused that Wessonâs potential suicide might bring closure to his parentsâ miserable demise.
Yet, he couldnât help but worry about Nicoleâs well-being in such a scenario.
For the first time, Jarrod considered sparing Wesson for Nicoleâs sake.
Nevertheless, he doubted Wessonâs intention to end his life, suspecting it as a ploy linked to the Lawrence Groupâs financial woes.
The live stream continued.
Suddenly, the camera jolted and zoomed in on a womanâs despairing cries.
It was Nicole.
She was on her knees, her sobs heart-wrenching.
âDad⦠Dad⦠Please come down⦠Donât do thisâ¦â
