Second Marriage to Mr. Rich (Ned Fletcher)

Chapter 84

Soon, the principal and other teachers gathered around.

Alva stood beside Angeline, unsure of how to comfort her. Marion squeezed through the crowd, covering her mouth in shock when she saw the sight before her.

The ambulance and police arrived quickly.

It wasn’t until Henrietta was taken to the emergency room that Angeline finally collapsed on the hospital bench.

Her hands were covered in Henrietta’s blood.

“Angie… your phone.”

Alva handed Angeline’s phone back and sat beside her, consoling her.

“Don’t worry, we still have hope. It’s only the ninth floor, after all. There was news about a kid being fine after falling from the 28th floor!”

Angeline saw an unread message from Henrietta. She tapped on it with her bloodied hands.

Henrietta: “Angeline, I really can’t take it anymore. I feel like I can never escape from this hell in my entire life. I’m sorry, Angeline. I want to be with Mom now.

“I’m behind the academic building, and there’s no one here, so I won’t hurt anyone when I jump off the building.

“Please bury me with Mom. I’m really sorry, Angeline. I just… I just can’t forget these

memories, which are too painful. The pain’s too overwhelming for me, and I feel like the only way out is death.”

Henrietta had sent the message right before she jumped. It was incoherent, as she was merely expressing whatever was in her mind at that moment.

Angeline finally couldn’t hold it in. She burst into tears.

Even Alva, who read the message, bawled her eyes out.

If someone were resolute about dying, they wouldn’t allow time for others to save them.

In Henrietta’s case, she was still concerned about hurting others when she jumped off the building.

Henrietta ultimately couldn’t be saved. The doctor said she lacked the will to live.

In just two months, both Anne and Henrietta had passed away. Angeline vividly remembered how she promised Anne in front of her grave to look after Henrietta. Yet now, Henrietta was

gone as well.

Angeline absently stood outside the operation room. Tears flowed down her face as she stared blankly into space.

“Angie!” Alva called, holding onto her shoulders.

Her lips parted, but she didn’t know how to comfort her. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Angie…”

“Hold these bastards accountable for what they did!” Marion exclaimed, her chest heaving with fury.

She had never seen such vicious students before.

“You can’t let them off the hook!”

Torture, burning Henrietta with cigarette butts, physical assault, rape–they were demons

indeed.

Both male and female students were involved in the bullying. Their actions in the video were

inhumane.

“They’re 14 years old and perfectly capable of being held responsible for what they did!” Marion continued, tears trickling down her cheeks.

At the police station, Angeline was resolute about pressing charges against all the students involved in bullying Henrietta in the video.

“And it was Tommy Yates, the second son of Yates Group, who instructed the others to pick on my sister!”

Although Angeline’s tears never ceased, she was still eloquent as she spoke, “Here’s the evidence!”

She provided the recording of Tommy threatening to bully Henrietta to force her presence at the Regalia Hotel in Oceanford. She also showed the screenshots of their conversation and the photo he sent to her message inbox.

The police officer comforted Angeline, who couldn’t stop shuddering, saying, “Rest assured. The law won’t let them get away.

Alva accompanied Angeline out of the police station. She called out to her cautiously when she saw Angeline’s vacant eyes. It was then Angeline suddenly collapsed to the ground.

“Angie!”

“Angeline!”

Ned rushed down from the car.

“Come and help!” he yelled at the police officers in the station.
