A Night To Remember novel (Diane and Norman) novel Chapter 43

Chapter 43 Suicide

Dianne could feel that something was not right. However, since there was no use standing here, she decided to leave. With that, she turned and said to the receptionist, “Alright. I understand. Thank you.”

After thanking her, Dianne left NG Enterprise. Although she had her suspicions, what happened had happened, and there was no point in asking more questions.

For the rest of the week, Diane stayed at home. She reluctantly complied as this was instructions from Christopher.

In fact, she realized one thing about him—his stubbornness. Once he had his mind set to it, no one else could change his mind.

In this case, regardless the countless pleads from Diane to leave the house, Christopher held his ground. If that wasn’t enough, he was home to look after her more frequently now. He used to only appear once in every ten days.

A few days passed by uneventfully. When Christopher left for work on Monday, Diane received a message on her phone.

As soon as she read the message, she felt that her head was going to explode.

Without delay, she left her house hurriedly, and after an hour, she arrived at Evergreen Incorporated.

At this moment, Evergreen Incorporated suddenly became the most popular spot in the town. Everyone from different corners of the streets seemed to be gathered outside its office building. If one observed closely, there was a person standing on top of the office building.

The crowd whispered and discussed furiously amongst themselves. Diane had no time to spare, as she immediately quickened her pace towards to the direction of Evergreen Incorporated, heading for the person on top of the building.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, security had tightened at Evergreen Incorporated. She didn’t have to provide her personal information the last time she was here to meet Christopher.

But now, mentioning the name Christopher was useless even. The receptionist gave a standard answer, saying that he was busy and had no time to meet her. She already knew he was hard to reach and that it was useless trying. As a desperate measure, she showed the receptionist the message she had received earlier.

After scanning through the message on her phone, the receptionist finally gave way and pointed her the directions to the lift with direct access to the rooftop.

She had only been to Evergreen Incorporated twice, and this was her very first time stepping on the rooftop.

There was no shade around, allowing the sunlight to beam freely on the rooftop. The wind was also howling strongly, messing up her hair.

The rooftop was equally as crowded as the people watching on the ground floor. Every personnel on the management level—including Christopher—and a few policemen were trying to coax the victim from jumping off the building.

It is none other than Elizabeth.

Last time, she made a scene by bringing a tong of gasoline to Cornell residence but was released soon after as she did not cause any harm to anyone. Right now, she was creating more chaos by threatening to jump off the building of the largest corporate in town.

Without wasting any more time, Diane squeezed through the crowd and made her way in front.

When she got to the front, her presence caught Christopher’s attention.

“What are you doing here?”

Christopher did not know that the only reason she was standing here was because of the message she had received from Elizabeth.

Ignoring his question, Diane only glanced at his way before shouting towards Elizabeth.

“I’m here now. Will you please come down first? Everything can be discussed.”

Elizabeth was dressed peculiarly today. She was wearing an all-black attire with a pale white flower pinned on the breast, fitting for a funeral.

The fencing around the rooftop was approximately a meter tall. She didn’t know how Elizabeth managed to climb over it, but now, she was cradling the fence. Diane had always been afraid of heights. Just by standing at her position looking out to Elizabeth, she was already feeling light-headed.

Despite that, she needed to get to Elizabeth.
