Chapter 269 My Father Is Dead
Jarrod called Nicole back immediately.
However, no one answered.
His anxiety escalated.
Striding out, Jarrod commanded, "Alec, prepare the car!"
Jamie, in a panic, rushed after him.
"Jarrod, what about our wedding..."
As Jarrod departed, Jamie found herself engulfed in the car's exhaust.
Jamie stood helplessly, watching him leave her alone at their wedding.
Her eyes brimmed with bitterness and anger.
Jarrod must have left because of Nicole.
That bitch made Jarrod run away on the day of their wedding! He must be out of his mind! Jamie
couldn't accept it.
The idea that Nicole had succeeded again in taking Jarrod from her was unbearable.
Damn Nicole! Fuming, Jamie vowed to settle scores with Nicole.
Jamie summoned the hotel concierge, lifted her gown, and said determinedly, "Follow that car."
In the car, Jarrod sat rigidly, absorbed in a live stream on his phone.
His lips were a tight line, his demeanor chilling.
Crack! Suddenly, rain started pelting down heavily.The heavy downpour cast a gloomy shadow over
the city.
Despite the poor signal and noisy background, Jarrod could hear panicked voices.
"Oh, my God! Someone's about to jump off that building!"
"Why would he want to kill himself by jumping off the Lawrence Group building? Could he be an
employee in a dispute with the Lawrence Group?"
"I've heard it's the CEO of the Lawrence Group.The reason for his decision to leap is unclear.The
police were here for him earlier, likely to arrest him.Perhaps the pressure became too much for him to
bear..."
The crowd buzzed with speculation.
Upon hearing these, Jarrod's eyes reddened with rising anger.
"Alec, investigate the issue with Nicole's father," Jarrod instructed.
"Understood,"
Alec responded.
Jarrod massaged his aching temples.
Jarrod had encountered Wesson on several occasions and found the latter shrewd and complex.
The thought of such a man contemplating suicide puzzled Jarrod.
Was Wesson actually going to do it? Or was it just an act? Internally, Jarrod mused that Wesson's
potential suicide might bring closure to his parents' miserable demise.Unapter tbo My bather ts lead
Yet, he couldn't help but worry about Nicole's well-being in such a scenario.
For the first time, Jarrod considered sparing Wesson for Nicole's sake.
Nevertheless, he doubted Wesson’s intention to end his life, suspecting it as a ploy linked to the
Lawrence Group's financial woes.
The live stream continued.
Suddenly, the camera jolted and zoomed in on a woman's despairing cries.
It was Nicole.
She was on her knees, her sobs heart-wrenching.
"Dad...Dad...Please come down...Don't do this..."
Jarrod's heart raced.
He recalled the haunting nightmare.
In his nightmare, Nicole was staring at him with bloody eyes...
Overwhelmed by an unfamiliar fear, the composed Jarrod grew visibly pale.
With a strained voice, he choked out, "Speed up!"novelbin
At the Lawrence Group, a fragile figure stood by the window in the pouring rain.
Nicole, disheveled and distraught, knelt, her pleas barely audible amidst her hoarse cries.
"Dad...Please, come down...Don't leave mom and me...Please don't go..."Her voice faded into a
whisper, her anguish palpable to all present.Her actions touched everyone's hearts.All the while, the
fire department rapidly deployed a large air cushion.Everyone's eyes were fixed on Wesson, filled with
anxiety.A firefighter, noticing Nicole's chapped lips and hoarse voice from prolonged crying, offered her
a bottle of water, reassuring her, "Miss Lawrence, don't worry too much.We're trying to reach your
father.He'll be alright..."
Just as Nicole took the bottle and was about to express her gratitude, a scream pierced the air.
“Ahhh! He jumped!"
Looking up, Nicole witnessed a dark figure plummeting.
Thump! The sound, heavy and jarring, echoed like thunder.
Her ears went buzzing.
For a brief moment, Nicole's heart and breath seemed to halt.
Bang! The bottle slipped from her grasp, rolling away.
Suddenly, Nicole's vision blurred as if the rain was overwhelming her senses.
Desperation etched on her face, she appeared on the verge of collapse.
After what felt like an eternity, she finally saw a dim light.
"No..."
Unable to speak because of the sorrow, Nicole cried as she crawled toward the gruesome scene.The
sight was unmistakable.
Her father's features were beyond recognition...
She remembered choosing the sapphire blue suit and tie for him this morning.
Acting like a spoiled child, she told him, "You look younger in this suit."
Wesson smiled warmly, responding, "That's great to hear.I'm still strong, so nobody can harm my dear
daughter..."
As the rain poured relentlessly, the blood flowed from Wesson's body, mingling with the rainwater, while
Nicole knelt beside the corpse.
The blood belonged to Wesson, the man who gave Nicole life and nurtured her...
But how had it come to this? Frantically, Nicole tried to approach her dad, but staff members restrained
her, gripping her arm firmly.
"Dad, how could you leave me like this? Dad, don't you care about me? Why won't you respond? Dad,
let's go back home.Together..."
Nicole even coughed up blood amidst her sobs.
Tears mingled with blood streaked down her face.
The scene was both horrific and heart-wrenching.
A black cloth was draped over Wesson's shattered body.
"No! Don't take him! Don't take my father away! Please stop!"
Nicole screamed.
"Don't take him away.He's always cold in the winter..."
Nicolewhispered hoarsely.
Wesson's blood, diluted by the rain, spread across the ground.
Nicole's heart felt as if it had been carved out, leaving her in unbearable grief.
"Dad..."
She would never again hear him call her by her affectionate nickname.
Her world had shattered...
By the time Jarrod arrived, Wesson had already been placed in an ambulance.
The bloodstained ground was the silent testament to the tragedy.
Jarrod, shocked, stumbled backward.
He saw Nicole crawling on the ground.
Their eyes met in a moment of shared pain.
It was not until this moment that Jarrod saw Nicole's face clearly.
Nicole's eyes were streaked with blood.
At that moment, Jarrod's heart clenched as if gripped by an unseen force.
He wanted to turn away, to hide.
But when Nicole saw him, her eyes blazed with hatred.
"My father is dead, Jarrod.I've lost my father.Are you happy now, Jarrod?"
Nicole's words were laced with scorn and void of emotion.
