My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 404

Kelsey and I hadn't didn't talk for long.

I initially had planned to directly return to the villa. However, after thinking about it, I decided to make a trip to Irvin's place instead.

However, not long after starting my journey, the car came to a stop right at the luxury building at the city center.

Many drivers hurriedly got out of their cars to check what the commotion was. It was obvious that something had happened.

I was not one who liked being nosy. But since my car was blocked, I wasn't going anywhere. So, I joined the bandwagon and got out of the car. I got hold of a lady and asked about what happened.

Evidently, middle-aged ladies only knew two things: playing cards, and being all up in others' business. When the woman saw me asking, she immediately lit up as she explained, "Oh, young lady, if you're in a hurry, you'd better find a way to leave first. Someone's trying to jump off a building; I heard that it's the ex-wife of the head of the Granger Group who had just passed away. The rich and powerful family had a hard time. Her ex-husband had just died, yet she was goaded into jumping off a building by his former mistress. The daughter of the Roberts Group head in Ucrebury is really something. She took the inheritance and forced the ex-wife to jump off a building. She committed a great sin!"

Below the building, a commotion went on as the crowd started to scream. The middle-aged woman didn't say anything more and immediately rushed forward and squeezed herself into the crowd to watch the scene.

The wind was knocked out of me for a brief few seconds. The ex- wife of the Granger Group's head? Helen? Irvin's mother?

After thinking for a while, I locked the car door and followed into the crowd without thinking too much.

In just a few short minutes, the ground floor of the city center's building was packed with people. The surrounding streets had been blocked off, and there was no way to get through.

The triangular- shaped building was the chosen location of Hendrix's company headquarters in Jarold City, and it was surrounded by several famous office buildings, including the Granger Group and the Moore Group.

Helen had climbed right to the top of the building, which was more than a hundred stories high.

Many passers-by grouped under the building -the result of the feud between two wealthy families. A lot of people just enjoyed being nosy.

Someone had called the police and even the Fire Department had come. The building was then cordoned off by the police to keep people from entering the premises.
