Chapter 439
Sarah's mind raced as she recalled every detail.
Even when Mrs. Mendes demanded two hundred thousand dollars, she had subtly wiped away her tears, her
fingers nervously clutching the fabric of her sleeve.
Every little movement felt off. This wasn't the grief of a mother who had just lost her child—it felt more like she
was putting on a performance, as if she had conly for the money.
But was it really just about the money?
From what Tina had told her, her mother had loved her deeply. And Tina had loved her mother just as much.
Sarah looked back at the suicide note, a strange unease creeping over her. The emotions in the first half were
completely different from those in the second.
It was almost as if... they weren't written on the sday.
Wait.
Not written on the sday?
A sudden thought struck her.
What if the second half wasn't written by Tina at all?
Just as the idea took hold, her phone rang.
Professor Wells' urgent voice cthrough. "Sarah, cto the dean's office now."
This was serious. The scandal had already been brewing for a full day. If the university dean was only calling her
in now, that meant they still trusted her.
Without hesitation, Sarah headed straight for the office.

It had to be about Tina.
Before she could enter, Professor Wells stopped her at the door.
"You're not scared, are you?" he asked, his concern evident.
Sarah looked at him gratefully. "I'm fine, Professor Wells."
Her voice was steady, but her face was a little pale.
She couldn't deny it-this situation had shaken her.
Tina had been so young, in the prof her life. She hadn't even had the chance to fully enjoy her youth before
she took her own life.
Just two days ago, Tina had sat in Sarah's office, telling her how terrified she was. And now, she had jumped from
the twentieth floor.
Her activity list contained things she wanted to buy and experiences she wanted
to have, yet she had only completed one or two of them. It didn't make sense for her to take her own life so
suddenly.
Inside the president's office, Sarah presented Tina's statements along with the office surveillance footage from
that day. The aufrom the video matched Sarah's words exactly.
By all accounts, Tina should have felt better after that session.
Professor Wells carefully analyzed Sarah's words but found nothing inappropriate.
So why did Tina take her own life?
And why did her suicide note say what it did?
Even Sarah couldn't fully grasp the answer, and Dean Larson had a feeling that this was far more complicated
than it seemed.
"Tina's mother is still outside the school gates, crying non-stop. She refuses to leave," Dean Larson said.
Sarah forced herself to remain calm. "Are we sure it was really a suicide?"
"It was," the police had already confirmed.
She had jumped from the twentieth floor. Her body had been completely shattered -not a single bone intact.
It was a gruesway to die.
Professor Wells frowned in thought.

He turned to Sarah. "Miss Sanders, what do you think?"

"Not an accident?" Professor Wells looked at her in confusion.
Sarah unfolded Tina's suicide note and placed it on the desk.
"Look at this."
She used her hand to block the middle of the page, dividing the first and second halves of the note.
