Chapter 95 The Hidden Truth
Fortunately, the soft voice went unnoticed by the others, who were all eager to learn about Professor Stone's story.
"Due to unforeseen circumstances, Professor Stone tragically killed himself by jumping off a building. His family also perished in a devastating gas explosion." Sophia explained with a hint of sorrow.
"It's heartbreaking to think that his son and daughter, both exceptionally talented individuals, met such a tragic end."
"Why did he kill himself?" Brice pondered.
Sophia hesitated briefly but Joyce interjected, providing a preemptive response.
"It was revealed that he had engaged in inappropriate relationships with his female students. And perhaps he couldn't bear to face the public any longer."
Although she didn't divulge all the details, everyone got her meaning.
Her tone carried a hint of disdain as she added, "Sophia had actually planned to visit him during that time. Who could have anticipated such bad news?"
"Goodness, he was a well-known professor and musician. How could he have fallen so far?" someone exclaimed.
Joyce nodded in agreement and then turned to Sophia. "It's a good thing you didn't go there," she said.
Sophia didn't seem too grateful for her mother's concern.
She wanted to say something, but the topic had already changed.
Throughout the entire conversation, Elianna sat there, silently listening to them gossip about her and her family.
Under the table, her fingers twisted together, causing her joints to ache.
In this way, she kept a calm facade.
She clearly realized that as long as she didn't clear her father's name, people would always associate him with unfounded accusations, instead of recognizing his past musical achievements.
And even their family's tragic demise would become a topic of casual conversation, with people saying they got what they deserved!
...
After dinner, everyone said their goodbyes and left.
Except for Jefferson, he had already left.
Sophia ran out and handed Elianna a gift box.
