Chapter 100 She died, and died when He forgave her
Upon hearing this, the rescue team captain was taken aback.
He looked at Robert.
Robert spoke, "We must find her. We need to see her safe and sound, or we need to see her body."
"Alright! We'll do our best!"
The rescue team captain looked at the vast dark sea and let out a sigh.
The sea that night was turbulent with waves.
It was likely that as soon as someone jumped in, a large wave would carry them far away.
It had already been three hours. The person who jumped in didn't know how many times they had been swept away by the waves.
The rescue operation continued into the late night.
In the early morning around four o'clock, the sky at the seaside began to lighten.
After Ophelia calmed her emotions in the car, she returned.
She grabbed Magnus by the collar of his shirt and shouted, "This is what you wanted! You hated her, tortured her, got her blacklisted in the industry, and made her resort to singing in nightclubs!"
"You spent three years in prison and you were the victim, but what about her? She's a victim too! And now she's sacrificed her life for you!"
"Magnus, are you satisfied now?"
"Smack!"
Ophelia, consumed by anger, raised her hand and slapped Magnus on the left side of his face.
Magnus' face turned to the side from the impact.
"Ophelia!"
Robert held her back.
Ophelia was also frightened. She quickly grabbed onto Robert's sleeve and hid behind him.
Could it be that Magnus would kill her?
She had acted out of temporary excitement just now.
She secretly looked at Magnus.
That man seemed to have no emotions at all. Even though she had slapped him, he remained indifferent.
He remained kneeling there and didn't get up.
Six hours since Juniper jumped.
The rescue team captain came over and said, "It's almost daylight, and my team and I have been working hard on the search and rescue, but I'm sorry to say that we haven't found any trace of her yet. Families, please prepare yourselves mentally."
Magnus' eyelashes trembled as he hung his head.
His eyes flickered, and suddenly he stood up, staring intensely at the rescue team captain with his pitch-black eyes.
"What does it mean to prepare ourselves mentally?"
The man's voice was hoarse and cold, as icy as it could be, sending shivers down one's spine.
The team captain of the search and rescue team was taken aback.
Robert grabbed Magnus' arm. "Magnus, calm down."
"Juniper won't die. Jennifer is waiting for her at home. They made a promise to meet next week. If she doesn't come, Jennifer will keep waiting," Magnus interrupted.
His eyes were bloodshot, but there were no tears on his face.
He couldn't believe that Juniper would be so heartless to abandon Jennifer like this.
The search operation continued until noon the next day.
Everyone was exhausted.
Robert told the search team members to leave.
Magnus landed a heavy punch on Robert's face. "Bring them back!"
That punch was strong.
Robert licked his lips, tasting the metallic tang of blood.
He clenched his fist and hit back with a punch.
He hoped that punch would wake Magnus up.
"Magnus! Be rational! Twelve hours have passed. Even if we call the search team back, what's the point? They have done their best!" he suddenly laughed, a cold and bitter laugh. "You also think there's no hope for Juniper's survival, right?"
"Yes! She's dead. Accept the reality!"
"Bang!"
Magnus gathered his strength and punched Robert's face again.
"I'll say it again, Juniper can't possibly be dead."
"You're insane, Magnus! You've been kneeling here all night. Jennifer has already lost her mother. Do you want her to lose her father too?"
A tremor ran through the man's eyes.
Yes, Jennifer was still at home, waiting for him to bring Juniper back.
The phone rang, displaying the caller ID, Royal View's landline.
No need to guess, it must be Jennifer calling.
For a moment, Magnus wanted to avoid it.
Robert naturally guessed, "If you're not sure how to say it, I can help you answer. It might be better not to tell Jennifer about this yet."
But Magnus decided to answer the phone himself.
On the other end of the line, Jennifer's voice came through. "Daddy, did you catch up to Mommy? Did you propose to her? Did she say yes? Is Mommy happy? That pink diamond ring is so pretty, Mommy must love it!"
Yes, the pink diamond was beautiful.
But Juniper didn't even have a chance to see it.
"Jennifer."
His voice paused.
"Hmm? Daddy, what's wrong? Did Mommy reject you? Why do you sound so sad?"

He took a deep breath and calmly replied, "No, I haven't had the chance to propose to her yet. You called too early."
"Ah? Dad, why haven't you proposed yet? You're not afraid that Mom will reject you, so you haven't said anything, right?"
Magnus, devoid of emotions, replied in a dull tone, "Yes, I'm worried she'll reject me."
"Haha, Dad, so you're a coward too! I thought Dad was never afraid!"
Yes, he was a coward too.
He couldn't admit that Juniper was dead.
If Juniper was dead, what would Jennifer do, and what would he do?
The rest of his life stretched out before him like an endless void.
Suddenly, he lost his motivation to continue.
"Dad, when are you coming back? Last night, I slept with Patrick Star and told him to ask Mom to accept your proposal!"
"You stay home and behave. Call me if you need anything."
"Okay! Mike invited me to dinner, Dad, bye!"
After hanging up the phone, Ophelia handed over Juniper's phone and personal belongings to Magnus.
"Juniper's phone and bag. She must have had this idea early on. There are keys to her house in the bag. If you want, you can go see where she lived."
Magnus took her belongings.
His pale, slender fingers gradually clenched.
Ophelia then handed him a transparent glass jar and choked, "This is the coral and shells Juniper picked up at the beach yesterday evening. She said Jennifer would like them, so she brought them for her."
By the end of her words, tears were already streaming down Ophelia's face, and she couldn't speak.
Magnus took the glass jar, feeling a sharp pain in his heart.
He had stayed at the beach until evening.
He only left the beach reluctantly when Jennifer called him again in the evening.
However, he didn't rush back to Royal View.
Instead, he drove to Juniper's rented house.
As soon as he walked in, he noticed a small pill bottle on the table.
The bottle was empty.
But the name of the medicine made his heart skip a beat.
Maprotiline Hydrochloride Tablets.
He was familiar with this medication for treating depression.
