“Make way. Everyone, please make way.”
The police were doing their best to maintain order at the scene.
However, the incident had occurred at a well–known location, whic naturally attracted a large crowd of onlookers. The fact that the report was made by several female college students only added to
the intrigue.
“What happened?”
“I’m not sure. I heard someone jump off the building.”
“Why did they jump?”
“The final statement is not out yet. The person just got taken away. They probably didn’t make it.”
Wynter lifted her gaze and looked over amidst the murmurs around
her. Through the crowd, she saw several girls crying as Joanne Grande, a policewoman, comforted them.
“Don’t be afraid. We’ll get to the bottom of this.”
The eyes of one of the girls were red from crying. “Officer, we never
expected this to happen in such a short time. She drank too much.
last night. We were just out to have fun together.”
The girls seemed distraught. Joanne knew that no one could remain

touch with them.”
The girls shook their heads upon hearing this.
“Vanny rarely mentioned her family. She didn’t seem very close to her parents.”
“Yeah. All I know is that she said she was from the north of Cascadia, and her parents were farmers. She envied the lifestyles we have here.”
“If we had known this would happen, we wouldn’t have brought Vanny along. It was her birthday yesterday. She said she’d never been to a bar before and wanted us to show her.“.
“She also said that her life at home was tough, and she just wanted to have some fun and ideally meet some scions along the way. Of course, she might have been joking. We often joke like that.
“But we thought we might as well fulfill her wish on her birthday since we’d all be graduating soon and wouldn’t see each other much anymore.”
The girls spoke sincerely, and it did sound like something close friends often said to each other. After all, there were jokes going around online that real besties would get male escorts for each other.
Joanne wasn’t quite sure how to respond. The girls in front of her were still students. She wanted to remind them to avoid such places in the future, but bars and nightclubs had become so mainstream.
Furthermore, since they weren’t minors, she had no way to interfere. They might even think that she was just old–fashioned if she were to lecture them.

being a good lady.” Everyone had seen this saying before. There was no way to argue against it. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Joanne opened her mouth before hesitating. Instead, she started to
write down parts of the statement and notified her colleagues to contact Vanessa’s family as soon as possible.
The interaction was observed by Wynter. Her gaze fixed on the girls‘ faces and never wavered. Every word they said was true. But when pieced together, Wynter felt an inexplicable sense of discord.
What exactly was it? Their expressions revealed nothing. Yet, something about it made Wynter uneasy.
Ah, that was it. It was condescending.
True friends wouldn’t belittle each other. Yet, these girls had subtly implied several things.
Firstly, it was that Vanessa had a poor relationship with her family and looked down on them for being poor farmers. The second was that she wanted to come to the bar to find a wealthy and attractive man out of vanity.
They were intentionally belittling Vanessa!
