Audrey realized something was wrong and said to Eden, “Quickly go get a rope!”
Eden took the rope and wanted to go down to see the situation, but Audrey tied the rope around herself and said, “I'll go down first.”
All the classmates in the class knew Audrey's personality. She appeared delicate and gentle on the outside, but deep down, she was an extremely determined and opinionated person.
What she decides, ordinary people cannot change!
Eden and Jase pulled Audrey, reassuring her to calm down.
Audrey arrived at the slope and saw Chloe lying on the ground. Audrey's deer-like eyes widened slightly as her blood quickly flowed backward throughout her body.
As a doctor, the most important thing is to keep calm.
Audrey forced herself to calm down and crouched beside Chloe. She checked her breathing by feeling her breath and then felt her pulse.
In my heart, a storm surged once again.
She shouted loudly to Eden and the others on the hillside, “Hurry and call for an ambulance!

After Eden threw down his jacket, Audrey wrapped it around Chloe.

Audrey, Ingrid, Carlie, Eden, Jase, Bruno, and a boy named Lucian Doyle sat in the same car.
Everyone was unusually silent.
Chloe was molested and her life was in danger.
Sterling disappeared, and his whereabouts were unknown.
There was a dead silence spreading in the carriage.
After a while, Lucian frowned and said, “Audrey, it’s not that | don’t trust Sterling, but it seems like there won’t be anyone else involved in this matter besides him...”
“And besides, he would only flee or go missing if he had committed a crime, right?”
As soon as Lucian finished speaking, he was fiercely punched by Eden on the face.
“Shut the f uck up!” Eden didn’t believe for a second that Sterling was the kind of person worse than a beast.
Jase and Bruno also nodded one after another, “We believe in Sterling!”
Ingrid sat in a police car for the first time, clearly terrified, but she also firmly said, “I believe in Sterling too!”
Audrey and Carlie did not speak.
Audrey looked out of the car window, worried about both Chloe’s situation and Sterling.
Carlie didn’t know who to believe anymore. Seeing Chloe’s miserable state, she was both shocked and scared.

How can there still be such cruel and beastly people in this world?
Along the way, everyone had their own thoughts, which were unusually heavy and complicated.
We arrived at the police station.
The students were each taken into the interrogation room.
Audrey was the last one to be brought in.
She recounted every detail of what happened last night.
Interrogating her, Ronin Burke looked at the delicate and radiant girl and sternly asked, “It has been pointed out by some classmates that you have an extraordinary and very close relationship with Sterling, is that correct?”
Audrey tightened her hands slightly on her lap, her clear and bright deer-like eyes beneath long lashes. “Yes, but | don’t think this has anything to do with Chloe’s murder!”
Ronin tugged at the corner of his lip and said, “As far as | know, last night when Chloe had an accident, she was wearing your coat and she bears some resemblance to you. Sterling had quite a few drinks that night!”
Ronin’s eyes were sharp, his expression stern as he closed in step by step. “Last night, a classmate saw Sterling holding you in his arms. looking like he wanted to devour you! He’s young and full of hot blood, and it’s highly possible that, in his drunken state, he mistook Chloe for you!”
“He committed a crime, realizing that Chloe was not you, he became scared and panicked, so he threw Chloe down the hill and fled!”

Ronin was imposing, and several classmates had fiercely defended. Sterling before. Under his relentless questioning, the defense line was quickly breached, and he truthfully revealed the relationship between Sterling. Audrey, and Chloe, as well as what had happened last night!
Ronin thought that Audrey, who appeared fair and innocent, would be scared and blurt out everything like those few classmates, but he didn’t expect her to just gently curl her lips.
Born with exquisite beauty, she was like a blooming ice flower on the high mountains, untouched by dust and exuding pure and graceful charm, especially when she smiled.
Ronin saw her lips curl up slightly and a hint of disdain flicker in her clear deer-like eyes. He couldn’t help but feel annoyed and said, “Audrey, please correct your attitude!”
Audrey's lips curled up, and she softly said, “I had a proper attitude. | was very sad when Chloe had such an incident, and | wanted to catch that despicable person as soon as possible! But it could never be Sterling!”
“There was a student in your class who saw Sterling leaving the tent last night in the middle of the night! Shortly after, Chloe also went out. Don't tell me this is just a coincidence!”
Audrey gently pursed her beautifully shaped lips and said, “Officer, if you have evidence, go and arrest Sterling! | was sleeping in my tent last night and knew nothing. Instead of pressuring me like this, you should spend your time finding the real culprit!” Ronin looked at Audrey. who appeared much more mature and calm than others of her age. He nodded thoughtfully and said. “You have the closest relationship with the suspect Sterling. If he contacts you, please inform the police immediately. Do not protect the criminal, or else you will also be accused of harboring a criminal!”
