CHAPTER 210: CHAPTER 210: ATTEMPTED SUICIDE

Rosalind is such a proud person, could she really commit suicide?

Noah Grant’s expression didn’t reveal a hint of emotion, he calmly asked, "Is she gone?"

Vera Sheridan was taken aback, looked at him with puzzled eyes.

Over there, Marcus Langdon was annoyed by Noah Grant’s indifferent attitude, took a puff of his cigar, "Luckily, the rescue was timely, and she’s out of danger."

Noah Grant let out an almost imperceptible "hmph" from his nose.

Indeed—

Vivian Langdon’s suicide attempt was just a tactic.

He curved his lips in disdain, "So, Uncle Langdon, what do you want to express to me?"

"I have no interest in whether your daughter lives or dies."

Marcus Langdon clenched his fist, but cautiously reassured him, "Noah, I scolded Vivian harshly last night. She felt truly remorseful, that’s why she attempted suicide. Please be magnanimous, don’t hold this against her."

Noah Grant, "Then you should keep an eye on her. If she doesn’t behave, I’ll hold it against The Langdon Family."

"I’m in a hurry, excuse me."

The call ended as the elevator arrived at B1.

He supported Vera Sheridan’s back and they exited the elevator together.

"What happened to Vivian?" Vera asked curiously.

Noah Grant snorted, "Attempted suicide, unsuccessfully."

Vera paused, meeting his gaze, understanding in her heart.

Vivian pulled a sympathy card.

"Crazy," Vera said with a hint of sarcasm, "just because she can’t accept defeat, she keeps going down a darker path. Why? She’s only twenty-four, she had so many opportunities.

Yet she reaped the consequences, ending up in disgrace.

Noah Grant opened the car door for her, his hand protectively placed on the edge, his calm gaze resting on her face, "Most people in this world, are blinded by jealousy and resentment."

"Being able to focus on oneself and see the road ahead clearly, regardless of adversity or prosperity, like you... is quite rare."

Vera stopped, unable to help but look up at him.

The tall, striking man had a handsome face sharply delineated in the morning light, with a faint, ambiguous smile.

She suddenly felt a warmth piercing straight into her heart.

He understood her soul.

This feeling moved her more than any sweet words.

Rising on tiptoe, she pecked him on the cheekbone, "See you tonight."

Noah Grant’s mouth curved as she got into the car.

He leaned over, resting his arm casually on the car door frame, his deep gaze falling on her slightly red ear, his Adam’s apple gently moved.

"See you tonight."

With those words, he straightened up and closed the car door for her.

As the car just departed, Noah Grant, impeccably dressed, looked at his watch again before getting into the Bernheim.

In the front passenger seat, Micah immediately handed over a tablet, speaking quickly, "President Grant, the financial meeting at nine, the UBS video conference at ten thirty."

Noah Grant’s gaze swept over the screen, swiping a finger to move one of the items earlier. "This one, slot it in between."

He added calmly, yet with an air of authority, "Also, I want to see all the private detective reports on Joel Quinn’s car accident by noon."

"Yes."

...

At the hospital, standing at the door of a VIP ward were two bodyguards in black suits, tall and emotionless, with cleanly cut hairstyles, clearly not ordinary guards.

Rosalind Morgan, sitting in a wheelchair, passed by Vivian Langdon’s ward and noticed them.

In her memory, neither The Langdon Family nor Mrs. Langdon’s family had people of such caliber... she thought no more of it as Auntie Warren pushed her into her own ward.

Inside the ward, Vivian Langdon lay in the white bed, her left wrist wrapped in bandages.

Her large, delicate eyes stared vacantly at the ceiling, ignoring the concern and comfort from her biological mother, Shannon Zane.

"Vivian, please speak to me, don’t ignore your mother..."

Vivian didn’t blink, as if using all her strength, she spoke slowly, word by word, "Let me die."

Her resolute demeanor frightened Shannon Zane deeply, making her heart ache more, her voice hoarse, "Vivian, I know you feel wronged, it’s all my fault. I was just a small-time actress back then and couldn’t secure a proper position for you."

The implication being she wasn’t able to marry into the family successfully.

Forced to let Vivian acknowledge the legitimate wife as her mother!

Shannon Zane, "Vivian, I finally made it now. The grievances you suffered, I’ll help you reclaim them!"

Vivian’s mouth finally curled into a smile, sarcastically, "You’ll help me? More like make things worse... The last scandal was so low-level, I lost all face..."

"Enough, go back to being your official wife, care for your precious son... My life or death, since you handed me to The Langdon Family, has nothing to do with you."

"Leave, don’t bother me... I’m redundant."

Every word struck Shannon Zane’s sore spot, intensifying her guilt, she ceased her futile persuasion, only smoothing her dress gracefully, a glint of coldness in her eyes.

"Vivian, your mother now... is different. Some things don’t need to be handled personally, or tarnish one’s reputation. You just wait and see."

Having just risen to leave, she saw Laura Sterling enter by pushing the door open.

The bodyguards who couldn’t stop her followed, nodding to Shannon Zane, "Ma’am, this lady..."

Shannon Zane waved her handkerchief, "You all go out first."

The bodyguards closed the door.

Laura Sterling stood inside the door, chin slightly raised, her disdainful gaze scrutinizing Shannon Zane from head to toe, just like twenty years ago, evaluating the third party trying to threaten her position.

She took two steps forward, her tone icy and sharp, "Shannon Zane, you’re fooled by this calamity, being a sucker to stand up for her; if you want to die, that’s your business, but if you implicate The Langdon Family, I won’t be the first to agree!"

Mrs. Langdon knew Vivian too well, acting a suicide drama to gain her mother’s sympathy, using her as a pawn.

But outsiders didn’t know Vivian was an illegitimate child, eventually, all the blame would fall on The Langdon Family!
