My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) -
Chapter 1204
He paused for a moment, then nodded his head to show his agreement.
The office building was very high, over a hundred floors. Sonia had jumped off from the fortieth floor, which was nearly twenty meters off the ground. If anyone jumped from there, death was sure. Glancing at the scene of the incident, I couldn't help but ask Evan, "What has the police said so far?"
"The police found a damaged railing and broken glass at the falling point. Their on- scene observation was that it was an accident. They are still doing the autopsy at the moment, so they can only make a conclusion after the result comes out." Evan was quite calm in this kind of situation.
I nodded and thought for a moment, keeping my thoughts to myself. We still had to wait for the results of the autopsy.
After leaving the company, I called Valerie and told her that I could not take Anne to the hospital for the time being. There would be a lot going on in the Roberts Group, so I wouldn't be able to take care of Anne. Valerie didn't say much and just told me not to worry. Anne's fever had subsided, so there was nothing to worry about for the time being.
Back at the villa, I called Naomi and asked her about Kaleb.
After catching up for a long while, I finally got to the point. So, I interrupted her and asked, "Did Westin contact you? Did you see him?"
"I didn't see him." Naomi replied, "But he called me and asked me to remind you to be careful. Kaleb's targeting you and Hendrix."
I was silent for a moment, and then I told her about everything that had happened recently.
She said in surprise, "Kaleb has already made a move on you two? By the way, Sebastian has also returned to Jarold City. Why not meet him? If you really have no choice, you can contact him. Maybe he can help."
She was being really polite. I gave a few brief replies and hung up, feeling a little depressed. Thinking of what I had promised Sebastian before, it seemed that I couldn't fulfill them yet. I was thinking that I had to find another time to bring it to him.
Too many things had happened and I couldn't sleep a wink all night. Finally, it was the next day, but Hendrix hadn't come home.
I thought that he must have been up all night sorting through what had happened, and that's why he didn't come home in the morning. I got up early and cooked something for myself before heading straight to the company.
When I reached the building, a group of people was gathered in front, crying and screaming. They were asking for the Roberts Group to give their daughter back to them. Since it was peak morning hours, there were many people to witness what was happening.
There were the two middle-aged couples dressed in black, crying hysterically in the hall while shouting Sonia's name. They were Sonia's parents. A four or five-year-old child stood beside them, looking sullen. I didn't know how she was related to Sonia.
Evan came down with dark circles under his eyes and sent the company staff away. He was stunned when he saw me, and said, "Mrs. Roberts, are you here to visit Mr. Roberts? He had a meeting all night, which had just ended."
I nodded and looked at the two couples in the hall. Then I approached Evan and asked, "How long have they been here?"
"They came last night. They have been here, demanding compensation. The police haven't released their findings yet, so we can't finalize the compensation for the time being," Evan said with a deep frown. "Okay!" I responded, and the staff at the front desk said, "This couple is being so annoying. Mr. Roberts had already said that no matter what, the company would take responsibility after the police report comes out. He had already said that, but they are still creating a ruckus here. It's obvious that they are trying to smear the reputation of our company!"
