Chapter 194: The Unexpected Unexpected
Leila picked up the phone immediately at my command and dialed directly.
Looks like I was right. She knows Albert.
In fact, I completely understand Blake’s intention in putting Leila next to me.
That way he’ll always know how I’m doing.
But after all, she had just arrived at my side and didn’t know me yet.
I’m in such a state of health that I’m like a locomotive due for an overhaul, unable to withstand the slightest bit of outside weather, not that I’m not strong enough inside, but my bodily functions don’t allow it.
Just like at this moment, even though I have made all kinds of mental preparations to face even worse situations, my heartbeat still speeds up uncontrollably when I see those ignorant and still fearless netizens who dare to curse anything, making my blood boil.
It’s a moment I understand all too well, the moves that do irreparable things in a fit of rage.
However, I am certain that Amelia’s death was definitely not the product of impulse.
Leila finished her call and returned to my side, scrutinizing my face and asking cautiously, “Daisy, are you okay?”
“I’m fine!” I reassured Leila and explained, “It’s just that I’m a little worse for wear!”
She poured me a glass of water and handed it to me, “The man died on the spot!”
I nodded, “Jumping from a building that high, Amelia would be dead for sure. But what I want to know are the details!”
“A statement can come from Albert’s side later!” Leila comforted me, “Don’t think about it so much.”
“I …”
I was just about to open my mouth to continue my point when the phone rang. I picked it up and looked at it, and to my surprise, it was Blake’s.
I didn’t avoid Leila either and picked up right away, and immediately Blake’s calm voice came from inside, “Are you okay?”
I knew he was referring to the incident with Amelia and was afraid of the effect it would have on me.
“I’m fine, but I always feel like there’s something fishy about this whole thing, when this Amelia came to mess with me at noon, it was obvious that she was here to sell herself out, and since she knows all about making a play, she wouldn’t have killed herself!” I said with certainty.
“You steady yourself, no matter how things go, you have to be calm, and one thing you remember, her death has nothing to do with you.”
“Uh-huh!” I responded, my heart still heavy.
I always felt that there was a big invisible hand that was manipulating all this behind my back. That hand was tightening around my neck, making it impossible for me to breathe smoothly!
“It’s true that this matter is not that simple, but it’s not clear either. That’s why you don’t have to pay attention to those so-called outcries, let them make a fuss so that someone will be pleased. The more the fuss about Amelia’s death, the more it speaks for itself, and at a certain altitude, the fog will naturally clear!”
Blake’s words were nothing short of enlightening, and I instantly understood what he had told me over and over again as I stepped off the plane; he told me to keep my head steady no matter what happened.
Indeed, only when it had the effect of suppressing me could the people behind the curtains smile smugly.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“I got it! Don’t worry!”
He instructed me a couple more times and hung up.
Leila also answered a phone call when I answered Blake’s call, this will see me hang up the phone, came over and said to me, “Just now is Albert’s phone call, the preliminary result is that the person is from the 24th floor rooftop down, the current image shows that she went up to the rooftop on her own, and it was from the elevator, the room and other surveys also do not have any Room survey also does not have any abnormalities, whether there are other factors, can only wait for the forensic identification!”
“Then let’s wait! There’s definitely an accident if nothing else! I definitely don’t believe that the person who has been picking fights with me will jump!”
“This family is really strange, how they all act like they’re possessed!”
Just as Leila’s comment landed, there was a deafening thud that scared me so much I almost turned my back …
