Gluey Love Between Us -
Chapter 1655
Eden drove all the way to the Alwynn Group building. Under the dim light, many people and journalists gathered there.
There were also several police cars nearby.
On the left side of the building, several people were crying their hearts out.
Eden was stunned. Everything seemed so unreal for her.
She stared at the crowd in a daze. Some people were trying their best every day to survive.
However, some people would jump off from the 25th floor and left their loved ones to live in great pain.
Alwynn Group had always been very good to its employees. Why would someone commit suicide by jumping off a building?
Eden just couldn't understand it.
"What happened? Did the person die?"
"He died straight away. I heard that the president of Alwynn Group didn't pay him the salary, so he went to the rooftop and jumped off straight away. He was only 25 years old."
"What? How stupid he was! The Alwynn Group is so rich, and it has always been good to its employees, and I've never heard that they delayed anyone's salary. My daughter is working there as well. They provide really good benefits. Mr. and Mrs. Alwynn treat them very well too."
"Who knows? Maybe they didn't delay your daughter's salary but did it to other people. Otherwise, he wouldn't have jumped off from the 25th floor. This requires a lot of courage..."
The two men in front of Eden were discussing in a low voice. Actually, everyone around them was discussing it.
The rising noise made Eden keep frowning.
Eden squeezed into the crowd and looked at the young man who was lying on the ground. He was badly mutilated. Eden could not help but tremble. She immediately closed her eyes and walked away. It was the first time that she had seen a dead body. It was impossible to not feel scared.
There was a middle-aged woman sitting next to the man and crying very loudly. And there were two young women sobbing next to them.
"Victor Alwynn, give my son back! Give my son back to me!" The middle-aged woman burst into tears. Her hands kept patting her son's body whilst shouting Victor's name.
Eden turned around and wanted to squeeze out of the crowd to check out the situation in the company.
Just as she turned around, a loud shout came from the crowd. "That's Mrs. Alwynn, isn't it? Why are you leaving so soon? You owe us an explanation."
It was a man who spoke. His voice sounded malicious.
Eden looked over. It was a man in a black suit who was taller than the people around him. He wore a cap and looked at her with a weird smile. Eden could still feel his evil intention even though it was so dark around them.
Just when she was thinking about it, the man turned around and left.
Eden looked sideways and glanced at the CCTV position on the building. Then she turned to face the family members of the deceased quietly.
"You killed my brother!" The young woman who was crying got up and pushed Eden hard.
Eden stepped back quickly, but before she lost her banlance, she felt her body was suddenly held by a pair of strong arms.
Eden looked back and saw Irving.
"Why are you here?" Eden asked in surprise, but there was also suspicion in her eyes.
Irving looked at her quietly. There was a faint scent of orchids on her body, which made him feel very comfortable. At such a close distance, her beautiful eyes were as pure as the ones in his memory. "I'm just passing by." He explained elegantly.
"Passing by?" Eden raised her eyebrows.
Irving knew that she didn't believe him.
"This has nothing to do with me." He looked at her and explained seriously.
"Thank you for helping me earlier," Eden said politely, then turned around. Whether he had anything to do with it or not, she would have to replace it out.
"Are you alright?" Irving said and shoot a sharp gaze at the woman who pushed Eden earlier.
The woman lowered her head and kept crying.
"I'm fine," Eden shook her head slightly.
She actually felt sympathized with the woman.
But she still said with a serious tone, "Before things are clarified, you'd better not do anything to me. I believe the law will give you a just result."
The women laughed out coldly and sarcastically.
"How powerful the Alwynn family is? Is there really any justice in your mind?"
"Our family never does anything illegal, let alone treat our employees unfairly," Eden said resolutely.
The woman suddenly felt a little scared, so she instantly lowered her head again.
"My brother said that you haven't paid him for three months," she added.
Eden did not believe it at all, especially after she saw the strange smile of the man who had just disappeared. She suddenly realized that it must be all arranged by someone. "Unless he made a mistake in his work, the Alwynn Group will pay all the employees' salary on 15th every month. All the records can be found in our finance department. The police have already been involved in the investigation and we will soon give you a fair result."
"A fair result? My son is already dead. If you paid him the salary, he would not have done this." The mother of the deceased said with tears still on her face. Her sharp eyes stared at Eden, making her feel a chill on her spin suddenly.
This middle-aged woman seemed to have a really good voice, so everyone could hear her cry and shout at the moment. Eden felt so irritated somehow.
She tried to calm herself down a little and said, "Whether he is dead or alive, we will still give you a fair result."
"But my brother is dead. He is dead! How can you still say such ruthless words?" The young woman looked at Eden excitedly. She was too sad, however, Eden seemed to have seen something different on her face.
"Yes, he is dead, but we cannot change the fact. I only want justice for him right now so that he could rest in peace." Eden looked at the woman and said each word clearly.
"You are Mrs. Alwynn, right? What do you mean by saying that? Now that he is dead, the only thing we can talk about is money. What we should be focusing on right now is how much you can pay us." The other young woman stood up and looked at Eden arrogantly. She clapped her hands and shouted loudly.
She looked like she was more anxious than the other young woman.
"My dear son, why did you do this? It's just a few months' salaries. Why did you let it kill you?" The mother of the deceased thumped her chest and cried until her voice was hoarse.
