Chapter 244
Urena even wiped her tears and nervously clutched her clothes when she asked for the 700 thousand compensation. Every detail seemed suspicious; she didn’t act like a mother who had lost a child but rather someone there for the money.
Was it only for the money? Yasmine remembered from Teresa’s descriptions that her mom loved her dearly, and she loved. her mom too. However, something was off in Teresa’s suicide note, with emotions in the top and bottom parts being so disjointed as if they were written on different days.
<Wait a minute! It doesn’t seem like it was written on the same day!> She suddenly thought of a possibility. <Maybe it really wasn’t written on the same day? Or maybe the second half wasn’t even written by Teresa.>
The phone rang. William’s urgent voice came through, “Yasmine, come to the president’s office now.”
This matter is so significant, and it’s been an entire day since it happened. For it to reach this level and for the president to see her only now, it must mean he really trusts her. Without a hint of hesitation, Yasmine immediately walked into the president’s office. The call must be about Teresa.
Winston stopped her outside the office for a moment. “Are you scared?”
Yasmine looked gratefully at Winston. “I’m okay, Mr. White.” Her face was slightly pale; she couldn’t deny that this incident had quite an impact on her.
Teresa was in the prime of her youth but ended her life before even enjoying it. Just days ago, she was in her office telling her how scared she was, yet now she jumped from the twentieth floor. The list of things she wanted to buy and do still sat incomplete, with only a couple of them crossed off. There’s no reason for her to have taken her own life.
Inside the president’s office, Yasmine presented everything Teresa had said and all the surveillance footage from the office. The audio in the surveillance matched Yasmine’s words perfectly. With just that, Teresa should have been saved that night.
Winston didn’t find anything wrong with what Yasmine said. So why did Teresa choose to end her life, and why were those words left behind in her letter? Even Yasmine was puzzled, and Carter felt that things were not as simple as they seemed.
“Even now, Teresa’s mother is still outside the school gates, crying and refusing to leave,” Carter said.
Yasmine forced herself to stay calm, “Did she really take her own life?”
“It was a suicide,” Carter confirmed.
The police immediately announced the news. She jumped from the twentieth floor, and her body was completely mangled, with every bone shattered. Such a death… it was brutal.
Winston thought for a moment. “Now Teresa’s mother insists it’s related to you, and more importantly, everyone believes it was your “What if Only Three Days Left‘ chart that drove Teresa to suicide.”
“The most urgent thing now is to stop the rumors from spreading.

and asked, “Ms. Sanchez, what do you think about
Yasmine coldly stated. In the end, she wanted 700 thousand, but I won’t give it. I want to know the real cause of Teresa’S death. Her death is not simple. It wasn’t an accident.
“Not an weiden? Winston asked in confusion.
Plead the sheet out on the table. Look at this.” She used her hand as a divider between the top and bottom sertions “What’s different about these two parts?”

“So what?” Carter asked, slightly frowning.

Yasmine jumped in, “So, it wasn’t written in one go. This note was written twice. Now, why would she write it twice?” Her rone was grave. “I suspect something else happened to her, related to her mother.”
A guess?” Carter asked.
‘s just a theory for now, but I’ll find out.” Yasmine replied.

Carter nodded. The situation at the gate was now the most pressing issue. “Get someone to bring in Teresa’s mother,” Carter said solemnly
Winston nodded. They couldn’t let a mother stand at the school gate with a banner and her daughter’s photo.
Soon, Winston walked in, looking disheartened. “She won’t come in. She wants you to go out there yourself.”
In its century–long history, Aurelith University has never encountered such a fatal incident. Resolving this matter well is crucial for the university’s century–old reputation.
At the school gate, a middle–aged woman was kneeling on the ground, her hair disheveled. Unlike her initial outburst, she now seemed drained, holding a photo, sitting quietly without tears or noise. Behind her was a bright red banner, a striking contrast to the somber hues of the photo, making the clash between accusation and life devoid of color truly shocking.
Above her hung the enormous sign of Aurelith University. The weather was nice, but the grandeur of the gate seemed to weigh down on the weary woman, stirring sympathy from onlookers. The media reporters weren’t leaving, eager to grab the latest updates as soon as possible.
Professor Trevor had been persuading her for a long while. He cleared his throat, saying, “Urena, please calm down. Causing a scene at the school gate like this is illegal, you know?”
Urema cast him a cold glance, her red and swollen eyes filled with the deepest resentment. “Could you stay calm if it was your daughter who died? Aurelith University killed my child, that’s the real crime! Instead of arresting her, you accuse me of breaking the law!” More and more onlookers gathered around, glaring at Professor Trevor with harsh eyes.
Professor Trevor’s voice softened, “Urena, the president wishes to see you now and have a talk.
Can you…”
“Is this your sincerity? My daughter was going to your school, and she commits suicide after getting consultation from your psychology consultant, and now you’re acting all generous by inviting me over? Get it my daughter’s death!” Urena’s eyes reddened further.
raight, your school is responsible for
As everyone followed the school officials, Carter emerged from the door with Winston trailing behind, while Yasmine remained in the office. Carter said, “Urena, if there indeed is a connection to Ms. Sanchez, we won’t tolerate it. But we’ve reviewed the surveillance of Ms. Sanchez’s counseling session with Teresa that night, and there was nothing out of the
mary”
Who are you?” Urena asked.
Winson quickly introduced. “This is the president.”
Before Urena could speak, the reporters crowded around, thrusting their microphones toward Carter. “Mr. Leach, what do se to say about the incident with your school’s psychology consultant? Rumor has it that Ms. Sanchez took charge of eling enter before even receiving her diploma from your school. Is there something going on behind the scenes?”
