Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Chapter 217 Numbness

All the people present turned to look at Chole, who was once again became the focus of attention. But she didn't want to be the focus. When Jim was gone, she decided to be invisible for the public.

Jacob frowned and looked at the scene in front of him. Chole came here just to put an end to the whole event. But unexpectedly, Colin directed the focus of the conflict to Chole.

Bearing the urge to beat Colin, Jacob observed the audience coldly.

What was supposed to come would come sooner or later. Jacob calmly looked at all this, hoping that Colin's sharp words would not cause more harms to Chole.

"Miss Chole, may I ask why did you want to jump off the building? Is there any unspoken secret?" There were always people who gains pleasure by exposing others' misery to the public. Colin was such a person. He didn't really care about Chole feelings at all.

Colin just hoped to dig out the hot point news, so that he could hold his position as a paparazzi. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

"I was in a bad mood then. It was an impulsive behavior." Chole's calmness stunned people around.

Jacob looked at Chole with a complicated expression. Bearing such a great pain, how much courage was needed for her to speak out the sentence so calmly? Maybe she shouldn't have come here today.

"Do you really believe the truth announced today? Don't you think it's unbelievable? " Colin asked aggressively regardless of Chole's feelings at all.

Or it's better to say that he was trying to stir up the negative emotions of her and the other families of the victims. He just couldn't believe that what Chole told him was the truth.

"It's only you who think it's unbelievable." Colin's attitude made Chole felt angry, but she restrained herself well. Today, she couldn't make trouble for Jacob.

Chole could feel her value by not making trouble for others.

"Did you get any benefit from the Shi Group, or did you have any unspeakable reason that prevented you from telling the truth?" Colin held the microphone with a sly light in his eyes.

He wanted everyone to know that he was a qualified paparazzi. So he had to get an eye-catching result from the interview.

"I don't know what's your view of life was like, but I don't think there exists any 'benefits' more precious than my life. I would never exchange my life for any benefits. I just want to tell the truth, and prevent the truth from being distorted by any interests. "

Chole said word by word, trying to shatter Colin's arrogance. She not only wanted to shatter it, but also wanted Colin to be sincerely convinced.

Colin stood still, speechless. He didn't expect Chole to say such sharp words. Standing on the stage, Jacob and the policeman also looked at Chole with bright eyes. Naturally, they didn't want her to be hurt by any words.

But it seemed that their worry was unnecessary. Chole almost crushed Colin in the interview.

"You look so calm. Aren't you sad about what happened?" Colin curled his lips. He thought it was the easiest thing to interview the family of the victims, given their unstable emotion and the losses they suffered in the accident. But he didn't expect that this woman would be so stubborn.

It seemed that what the woman said had a point. Colin could only lean aside and could not speak.

Colin's throat was dry and he didn't know what to say. He had no choice but to pretend to be calm. He had never been hindered in an interview before.

Almost everyone else interviewed would feel embarrassed and cautious in front of him. What's wrong this time? Why was everyone so rational and calm? It was abnormal.

"Do you want to see me feeling sad, or do you think I should wear my sadness on my face?" Chole was eloquent and had seen all kinds of people since she worked in the city.

She was now experienced enough to deal with such issue properly.

"Miss, I think you have been avoiding my question." Colin restrained his panic and went back to the right track. How could he lose his composure in front of a family member?

Chole didn't say anything, but looked at Colin firmly. Even though there was deep sorrow in Chole's eyes, there was no emotion in her words.

A person with real deep grief wouldn't cry. Then, what was the intention of those who were eager to see others cry? Chole looked at Colin blankly, as if there was nothing in front of her.

"You must have some unspeakable reason, right?" Colin tried to speak in a calm tone to make himself look kind. He did a good job to show his care for the family of the victims.

"No. I have no unspeakable reason. I have fully expressed what I want to say. I don't want to talk to you anymore. People like you enjoys building your happiness on other people's pain. "

Chole was escorted away by a nurse behind her. Colin stood still, feeling like being stuck by a fish bone in the throat.

Had he always built happiness on the pain of others? Was it wrong to be sharp in interviews in order to get the news and the truth?

Colin felt a little dejected. Perhaps he had never realized that his pursuit of the truth was actually trampling on the truth.

The press conference ended at this point. Although there was an accident, it was generally within the control of Jacob. But he was surprised at Chole's performance.

In such a solemn occasion, under the focus of so many people, Chole should be so calm and controlled herself. Was her heart dead or was she already numb on the outside world? God knew.

With a sigh of relief, Jacob stood up and shook hands with the police.

"Are you busy today? Let's have dinner together. Thank you for your help, sir. " Jacob looked sincere. This problem was finally solved, although he didn't know whether there would be more negative repercussions waiting for him.

At least, the major conflict in the accident was successfully dealt with.

"No, I have something else to do. I'm needed in the bureau. Too many things were waiting for me to deal with and I barely have time to eat. " The policeman smiled innocently. He was satisfied with the way Jacob called him.

"Then I owe you a dinner. If you have time, you can come to me at any time. " Jacob laughed and walked out of the conference hall with the policeman.

James followed them and watched the policeman walking out. James knew about Chole too. The people who knew the truth were all feeling nervous. If Chole couldn't control her emotion, the scene might really be out of control.

Although the truth was obvious.

"Are we going back to the company or somewhere else?" James squinted slightly. The smell of early spring had come to his face, but he always had an illusion that things had not been fully settled.

"Well, I want to meet my friends. They probably know about it this accident, but they don't know the inside story yet. So I have to meet them. " Jacob looked into the distance.

The sunlight penetrated the layers of barriers, and shone through the haze and showered the city, like a sharp knife cutting through the darkness. Sometimes the change of weather would be consistent with people's emotion.

The cause of the accident was clarified, and the next step was to deal with the aftermath and ensure the safety of the factory in the future. James could do these things well.

Jacob stared blankly into the distance. Once people conquered the barriers in their lives, they would grow largely.
