Eden drove all the way to the Alwynn Group building. Under the dim light, many people and journalists gathered there.
There were also several police cars nearby.
On the left side of the building, several people were crying their hearts out.
Eden was stunned. Everything seemed so unreal for her.
She stared at the crowd in a daze. Some people were trying their best every day to survive.
However, some people would jump off from the 25th floor and left their loved ones to live in great pain.
Alwynn Group had always been very good to its employees. Why would someone commit suicide by jumping off a building?
Eden just couldn't understand it.
"What happened? Did the person die?"
"He died straight away. I heard that the president of Alwynn Group didn't pay him the salary, so he went to the rooftop and jumped off straight away. He was only 25 years old."
"What? How stupid he was! The Alwynn Group is so rich, and it has always been good to its employees, and I've never heard that they delayed anyone's salary. My daughter is working there as well. They provide really good benefits. Mr. and Mrs. Alwynn treat them very well too."
"Who knows? Maybe they didn't delay your daughter's salary but did it to other people. Otherwise, he wouldn't have jumped off from the 25th floor. This requires a lot of courage..."
The two men in front of Eden were discussing in a low voice. Actually, everyone around them was discussing it.
The rising noise made Eden keep frowning.
Eden squeezed into the crowd and looked at the young man who was lying on the ground. He was badly mutilated. Eden could not help but tremble. She immediately closed her eyes and walked away.
It was the first time that she had seen a dead body. It was impossible to not feel scared.
There was a middle-aged woman sitting next to the man and crying very loudly. And there were two young women sobbing next to them.
"Victor Alwynn, give my son back! Give my son back to me!" The middle-aged woman burst into tears. Her hands kept patting her son's body whilst shouting Victor's name.
Eden turned around and wanted to squeeze out of the crowd to check out the situation in the company.
Just as she turned around, a loud shout came from the crowd. "That's Mrs. Alwynn, isn't it? Why are you leaving so soon? You owe us an explanation."
It was a man who spoke. His voice sounded malicious.
Eden looked over. It was a man in a black suit who was taller than the people around him. He wore a cap and looked at her with a weird smile. Eden could still feel his evil intention even though it was so dark around them.
Just when she was thinking about it, the man turned around and left.
Eden looked sideways and glanced at the CCTV position on the building. Then she turned to face the family members of the deceased quietly.
"You killed my brother!" The young woman who was crying got up and pushed Eden hard.
Eden stepped back quickly, but before she lost her banlance, she felt her body was suddenly held by a pair of strong arms.
