Chapter 138: Chapter 138

"You’re quite good at using her impulsiveness."

Evan Chambers said coldly and then left.

Skylar Hughes felt a chill down her spine. What did Evan Chambers mean by that?

Did he find out about something she did? Or did Paige Sterling say something to sow discord?

No wonder she always felt Paige Sterling’s uncle and cousins treated her indifferently, no matter how much she tried to please them, they always treated her like an outsider.

Turns out Paige Sterling had calculated even this.

Skylar Hughes let out a cold laugh, such a cunning mind, she had really underestimated Paige Sterling before.

But today, Paige Sterling was destined to fall from grace.

Skylar Hughes smiled at Paige Sterling’s back.

See, with Paige Sterling’s arrogant nature, without her intentionally causing trouble, someone would find trouble with Paige Sterling anyway.

No matter if this woman named Wendy Wallace jumps or not today, the whole world will know how Paige Sterling used her power to push someone to the brink of suicide.

In any case, Paige Sterling was finished, and from now on, whenever people talk about her, there won’t be any kind words.

Several reporters had mingled onto the rooftop, and seeing Paige Sterling arrive, they immediately pointed their cameras at her.

Wendy Wallace’s parents also arrived, and upon hearing the reporters say this was Paige Sterling, they looked towards her.

Mrs. Wallace directly kneeled in front of Paige Sterling, "Paige Sterling, you are Paige Sterling, right? I’m begging you, please let our Wendy go, don’t push her to the brink."

She didn’t give Paige Sterling a chance to speak, firing her words like a machine gun.

"We’re just ordinary folks, barely making enough to get by, we raised a daughter with so much effort, we can’t lose her..."

"We can’t afford to offend people like you, if she has offended you in any way, I apologize, I’m kneeling before you, please don’t target her, whatever issue you have, take it out on us instead."

"Our Wendy is a kind child, she’s really struggling and working hard in the entertainment industry, please have mercy on her."

"Miss Sterling, you can’t push someone to their death, if my daughter jumps, I’ll jump too, I won’t live anymore..."

Mr. Wallace also said, "Miss Sterling, if my daughter has offended you, it was a moment of foolishness, please be generous and don’t hold it against us, we can’t be without our daughter, if she’s gone, this family will fall apart, if you’re willing to let our daughter go, I’ll do anything, I’ll give you our family savings, is that okay? If you’re still not satisfied, let us, the two elders, jump off as well..."

People watching these parents could only feel pity for them, the way they humbly begged for their daughter and family, even willing to die, was truly sympathetic and moving.

Anyway, if you don’t stand on Paige Sterling’s side, you can’t feel the kind of "I’m weak, I’m justified, and entitled to be aggressive" righteous stance.

And a reporter moved, moved the camera closer to Paige Sterling’s face.

"Miss Sterling, seeing these parents, what do you feel in your heart? Do you still intend to drive their daughter to death, leaving these pitiful parents to live in agony? Where is your conscience?"

Paige Sterling slapped the camera that was about to zoom in on her face away.

"Do you people have conscience, filming me ? You should go persuade people not to commit suicide!"

The reporter was about to make a fuss over Paige Sterling’s action but was directly stopped by Chambers Group’s security.

After all, there were only a few reporters here, the situation was controlled by Chambers Group, they couldn’t stir up much trouble.

Paige Sterling coldly glanced at Wendy Wallace, then withdrew her gaze.

"Because she’s a Z-list in the entertainment industry, and I’m A-list, she’s committing suicide because I forced her?" Dıscover more novels at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝙣𝙚𝙩

"Because she spreads rumors and slanders me, and I insist on holding her accountable, her jumping off the building is caused by me?"

She swept her gaze over the crowd, "By this logic, if her parents hadn’t given birth to her, she wouldn’t consider suicide, if there weren’t any tall buildings, she wouldn’t have a place to jump from, if there wasn’t land here, she wouldn’t necessarily die from falling. If she truly dies, the whole world shares responsibility, including you all, might as well everyone shares the responsibility for the death of some dumb idiot together."

The crowd, "...", the person is about to commit suicide, can’t you say something nice? You even called her a dumb idiot.

Mrs. Wallace, with tears streaming down, said, "How can you say that, my daughter is about to commit suicide, no matter what, can’t you first agree to her demands, at least talk her down?"

Joking, with so many people and cameras around, if Paige Sterling agreed, it would be a binding promise.

Why should she be coerced by Wendy Wallace, such a dumb idiot?

Paige Sterling walked towards Wendy Wallace, who looked resolutely at Paige Sterling but couldn’t suppress her sense of triumph.

See, Paige Sterling was scared after all, wasn’t she here now?

As long as Paige Sterling was scared, she could make demands, not only would she avoid getting sidelined, but she would turn disadvantage into advantage.

Wendy Wallace almost wanted to applaud herself for her cleverness.

Though she was smug inside, she concealed it well on the surface.

She said, "Paige Sterling, don’t come over, if you come any closer, I’ll jump!"

However, after uttering these words, Paige Sterling showed no panic.

That look from Paige Sterling was truly like looking at a dumb idiot.

Wendy Wallace’s heart skipped a beat, but she still continued with the lines she had prepared, "Paige Sterling, I’ve already apologized to you, admitted my mistake, why won’t you let me go? I’m telling you, if I jump from here today, you’re the one responsible, everyone will know you drove me to death!"

Wendy Wallace had researched that to persuade suicidal people to give up suicide, many immediately agree to the demands proposed by the suicidal.

Having said this, Paige Sterling would certainly plead, agree to all her demands.

She was all set to make demands but then heard Paige Sterling ask Evan Chambers’ secretary, "Did you study law?"

The secretary hesitated, then nodded.

Paige Sterling asked, "So if she jumps from here today, am I legally responsible?"

"From a legal standpoint, suicide is her own choice and action, and has nothing to do with you, Miss Sterling, so no legal responsibility is required, but..."

"I know, it’s about conscience, public opinion won’t let me off, right?"

The secretary nodded.

Paige Sterling smiled, "That’s fine, after all, lack of conscience is my greatest trait, being in the entertainment industry for years with all kinds of scolding, public opinion to me is like a fart."

My goodness, there are reporters here, can’t you speak subtly?

After he finished muttering, Paige Sterling turned and said to Wendy Wallace, "You’re called Zoe Vaughn, right? You can jump now."

Wendy Wallace, "My name is Wendy Wallace!"
