The news of Warner's suicide by jumping from a building sent shockwaves through the entire town of Elmsworth!
Upon hearing the news, Evadne and Suri rushed to Elmsworth immediately, with Thaddeus tagging along, fearing that in these sensitive times, someone might target Suri.
"I got word from Aaron that after Warner jumped, the police found a note in his jacket pocket that looked like a suicide letter he had written himself. It was full of remorse for his actions, saying he let down his grandfather and father."
In Evadne's private villa, Thaddeus personally heated up two cups of milk, handing one to Suri and the other to Evadne.
"How could this..."
Overnight, a series of blows came one after another. Even someone as calm as Suri couldn't help but be shaken, "But, I watched Warner grow up. He was always so competitive and proud, raised to be the heir, living a life of luxury. This must have been the biggest hardship and the worst punishment he ever faced in his life. It seems, Warner just lost hope and did something foolish."
Suri choked up.
Regardless of Warner, or Chasel, whether they were related by blood or not, they were kids who had lived with her for many years, once calling her "Auntie" with warmth and dependency.
But Evadne sensed something more sinister at play and looked up at Thaddeus with a calm determination:
"The police will do a handwriting analysis, right? That so-called suicide note might have issues."
"Yes, I was thinking the same. But one thing the police have confirmed is that Warner indeed killed himself."
Thaddeus' eyes grew dark, "Tonight, the police interrogated Warner again, exerting an unprecedented amount of pressure. Then, Warner excused himself to go to the restroom and without hesitation, jumped out of an open window in the police station corridor. It happened so suddenly, the officer watching him didn't even have time to react, and now he's been suspended."
Suri covered her mouth in grief, while Evadne's expression became more solemn.
Thaddeus wrapped his arm around her, gently caressing her, "It's mysterious, isn't it?"
"It is."
Evadne took a deep breath, squeezing Thaddeus' warm, broad hand, "Now, the whole nation believes Warner committed suicide out of guilt, and the Bright Group has naturally become the scapegoat behind this human drug trial scandal, facing fierce public outcry. With Warner gone, there's no one to refute the claims, so Thaddeus, does that mean, the person behind all this can now rest easy?"
