Chapter 539 Don't talk nonsense
In the car, Chloe received a call from Donovan.
Donovan said, "I have arrived at the school. Where are you?"
"I'm already out. Cynthia is about to jump off a building. She's on top of the Stellar Corp building right now. Hurry up and get here." Chloe said anxiously.
"Jump off a building?" Donovan questioned, "Cynthia wants to jump? Is this for real?"
"Donovan, who would joke about their own life?" Chloe frowned slightly, thinking, 'Donovan probably doesn't know that Cynthia is suicidal because her love letter was exposed. From the way Donovan is talking, he seems completely unfazed.'
"At the Stellar Corp building?" Donovan stopped asking questions.
"Yes." After hanging up, Chloe was very nervous, keeping urging the driver to hurry.
Chloe was still thinking, 'Why did Cynthia go to the Stellar Corp building? If something happens, it will be terrible. And this matter is related to Donovan, which indirectly involves me. If Cynthia jumps, can I still work at the Stellar Corp? What would Timothy think of me?'
Chloe already had some negative opinions about Cynthia, and now they were even stronger. Chloe knew Cynthia was very sensitive and probably felt humiliated after the whole school found out about her pursuing Donovan back then.
However, although Chloe had negative thoughts towards Cynthia, she always kept Cynthia's kindness in mind. Cynthia had recommended Chloe to Pearl Peak University, and Cynthia had always been good to her.
When Chloe arrived at the bottom of the Stellar Corp building, she saw Timothy standing there with a briefcase.
Timothy was probably just about to get off work when he heard someone was about to jump from the building. He was anxious. If someone jumped from this building, not only would the Stellar Corp building become infamous, but Rebecca Residential Community would also be affected. Cynthia really knew how to pick a place to jump.
Seeing Chloe's anxious look, Timothy said to her, "Chloe, do you know her?"
"Yes, she's my colleague." Chloe said as she called Cynthia from the entry.
"Your colleague? Couldn't she find another place to jump? Why come here to cause trouble?" Timothy muttered angrily.
Chloe thought Timothy had no empathy at all.
Barbara was standing behind Chloe, but Chloe hadn't noticed her.
Barbara had been staying in a hotel recently, with no film crews contacting her. After Pamela returned to Emerald Isle, it seemed she had given up on Barbara. Moreover, Jeffery had joined the military, which made Barbara furious. After all, Jeffery was the only young college student Barbara had liked in years. Jeffery joining the military seemed to be related to Chloe, making Barbara resent Chloe even more.
With Jeffery in the military, Betty was relieved. Betty believed Barbara was so outstanding that she could find any man she wanted. Barbara had been pestering Jeffery recently, which made Betty very angry. Now that Jeffery was gone, it was Barbara's turn to be angry.
Barbara sensed the dissatisfaction in Timothy's tone and wanted to further incite his hatred towards Chloe. "Chloe, look at the mess you and Donovan have caused. Cynthia is upset because of you two and wants to jump off a building. And she specifically came to the building where you work. How thoughtful of her. Cynthia is jumping just to show you."
Barbara didn't know about the love letter incident on the bulletin board. She only knew Cynthia was a teacher at Pearl Peak University and didn't know about Cynthia's relationship with Chloe. But since Chloe was here and looked so anxious, Barbara thought it must be related to Chloe. To smear Chloe in front of Timothy, Barbara deliberately said this, even though she was just making it up.
Chloe turned around and finally saw Barbara! Chloe's face instantly darkened. "Stop talking nonsense!"
But it was clear that Timothy already believed it. Otherwise, A university teacher like Cynthia wouldn't come to the Stellar Corp building to jump? It must be because of Chloe.
Timothy's face scowled. If it weren't for Chloe's relationship with Donovan, Timothy would definitely reconsider whether Chloe should continue working at the Stellar Corp.
