---- Chapter 5 The moment Erica heard what the officer said over the phone, she froze for a moment and couldn't react. She rarely showed this kind of response. It was as if she hadn't understood the meaning behind the words, and it took her a long time to process it. She then responded with disbelief, "Suicide? You must be joking! My husband would never kill himself by jumping into a river! Is this some kind of scam call? And what letter of forgiveness? I did write one, but there's no way it ended up in my husband's hands! " The officer on the other end hadn't expected such a response. Still, he calmly repeated the details of the case. "We received a report at around 9:00 pm that someone had jumped into the river. Surveillance footage shows a young man in his 20s wearing a white shirt and jeans. At the scene, we found a suicide note and a pair ---- of shoes he left behind. "After three hours of searching downstream, we recovered the body of your husband..." Erica slammed on the brakes and pulled over to the side of the road. She said shakily, "'T-This isn't possible! I just spent the evening with him. I told him to wait for me at home. There's no way he would suddenly kill himself! " The officer's voice turned cold. "Come and see for yourself. Then everything will be clear." In the passenger seat, Jace's eyes briefly glinted with glee. Then, he quickly masked it with a look of concern. " Erica, what's going on? Did something happen to Julian? You should head to the station. I can take a cab home." Erica's face had gone absolutely pale. Contrary to what Jace expected, she didn't insist on driving him ---- back. Instead, she opened the car door and gestured for him to get out. "I'm sorry. Something happened to Julian. Ineed to go to the station. You'll have to get home on your own." Jace looked surprised but nodded with an innocent expression. "Okay, Erica. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine. But... Do you think Julian jumped into the river on New Year's Eve, on my birthday, as a way to get back at me for what happened to Kenneth? "T just wanted to have a peaceful evening together and settle our differences. I never thought Julian would be so consumed by jealousy. Who could've foreseen this would happen? Please don't be mad at me, Erica." Erica sat in the car silently. A long while passed before she nodded gingerly. "I've got to go now." It was the first time she truly wanted to get away from Jace.
