The news of Warner's suicide by jumping from a building sent shockwaves through the entire town of EImsworth!
Upon hearing the news, Evadne and Suri rushed to Emsworth immediately, with Thaddeus tagging along,
fearing that in these sensitive times, someone might target Suri.
"I got word from Aaron that after Warner jumped, the police found a note in his jacket pocket that looked like a
suicide letter he had written himself. It was full of remorse for his actions, saying he let down his grandfather and
father."
In Evadne's private villa, Thaddeus personally heated up two cups of milk, handing one to Suri and the other to
Evadne.
"How could this..."
Overnight, a series of blows cone after another. Even someone as calm as Suri couldn't help but be shaken,
"But, | watched Warner grow up. He was always so competitive and proud, raised to be the heir, living a life of
luxury. This must have been the biggest hardship and the worst punishment he ever faced in his life. It seems,
Warner just lost hope and did something foolish."
Suri choked up.

Regardless of Warner, or Chasel, whether they were related by blood or not, they were kids who had lived with
her for many years, once calling her "Auntie" with warmth and dependency.
But Evadne sensed something more sinister at play and looked up at Thaddeus with a calm determination:
"The police will do a handwriting analysis, right? That so-called suicide note might have issues."
"Yes, | was thinking the same. But one thing the police have confirmed is that Warner indeed killed himself."
Thaddeus' eyes grew dark, "Tonight, the police interrogated Warner again, exerting an unprecedented amount of
pressure. Then, Warner excused himself to go to the restroom and without hesitation, jumped out of an open
window in the police station corridor. It happened so suddenly, the officer watching him didn't even have tto
react, and now he's been suspended."
Suri covered her mouth in grief, while Evadne's expression becmore solemn.
Thaddeus wrapped his arm around her, gently caressing her, "It's mysterious, isn't it?"
"It is."
Evadne took a deep breath, squeezing Thaddeus' warm, broad hand, "Now, the whole nation believes Warner
committed suicide out of guilt, and the Bright Group has naturally becthe scapegoat behind this human
drug trial scandal, facing fierce public outcry. With Warner gone, there's no one to refute the claims, so
Thaddeus, does that mean, the person behind all this can now rest easy?"
"Justice has long arms. That person cannot and will not escape."
Suddenly, Thaddeus felt a pang in his heart, touched by Evadne's words, "But now, someone else is in even
greater danger. After all, besides Warner, he knows the most secrets."
Just then, Aaron's call cin:
"Evadne, Thaddeus, Zachary has already confessed to us. But his statements greatly differ from what Warner
had provided before his death. He claims the Bright Group was used by someone else to take the fall, saying the
drugs were given to Warner by someone else, that he was tricked. He even said 'a father knows his son best,’
implying Warner didn't have the means or the audacity to do this."
"Actually, I've always had my doubts. How could Warner possibly do such a thing himself? And Zachary, he
doesn't have the brains for it, nor does he have any reason to experiment on humans with drugs."
Suri shook her head in confusion, "Our Bright Group has government backing, and no domestic pharmaceutical
company is in competition with us. Why would we risk so much just to speed up drug development?"
Evadne and Thaddeus exchanged a look, understanding each other's thoughts.

So, it wasn't a guilt-ridden suicide at all.
It was a clear case of silencing someone.
Perhaps someone had control over Warner's vulnerabilities or had something on him, using it to force him into a
corner.
Compared to its usually bustling nights, The Velvet Haven was somewhat quieter tonight.
But Avery, the man pulling the strings from behind the scenes, wasn't worried.
After all, he wasn't really in it for the bar business. The Velvet Haven was just a front for him to build connections
in Emsworth, paving the way for his boss. Once his boss's grand plans cto fruition, this place would no
longer be necessary. "Has Elsie been behaving herself?" Avery stood on the balcony, looking down at the parrot,
his tone somber.
"She's been very good! I've had people watching her closely. She's not meeting with clients anymore. If she's not
wandering around The Velvet Haven, she's in her room, not coming out. I've also tapped her phone; she hasn't
contacted anyone recently. You have nothing to worry about!" Harvey quickly vouched for Elsie.
"She's finally behaving."
Avery squinted his cold eyes, playing with the bird in the cage, "But speople, they just can't seem to stay
put."
