Love and Devotion No Longer His to Claim (Angela and Dexter) novel Chapter 326

Clara reported the case to the police, while the executives expressed their discontent quietly.

However, what took everyone by surprise was that, before the police could arrive, Damian went to the rooftop. He positioned himself on the railing in an attempt to take his own life.

"I can't live anymore. I didn't even commit any terrible offense. It's just a few photos. I can erase them. Why are you threatening me and calling the police?" Damian trembled with fear, gripping the railing with one leg dangling over.

The crowd watching the chaos was split into two groups. Some supported Clara, insisting she should take action against Damian as a victim to hold him accountable and prevent future misconduct.

Others believed that although Damian's actions were wrong, they didn't require police involvement. Both sides argued passionately.

"How could the HR department possibly hire someone like this without conducting any background checks? Old pervert! It's no big deal even if he dies. It's infuriating!"

"Isn't it outrageous that women are subjected to bullying by men like him? He's such a pervert—a complete troublemaker. Doesn't he have a daughter of his own?"

"It's just a photo. There's no need to escalate things to such lengths. The company is going to be trending again. Can't they just take it easy?"

"Exactly. Why are they overreacting to something minor? The department of supervision tends to exaggerate trivial issues."

As the discussion unfolded, differing viewpoints sparked a heated debate among the group.

Both men and women from the department of supervision were present. When their female colleagues faced bullying, the men defended them and joined the debate. It turned into a heated exchange with lots of shouting.

Angela scoffed and stepped forward. "He wouldn't dare to do that. Everyone, step back. I want to see whether he'll actually jump."

This was truly annoying. Her main concern was Clara's mental state, not the safety of this old pervert who was just distracting from the conflict. If he truly wanted to die, he would have jumped off by now. Instead, he clung to the railing, his face pale and trembling.

"Ms. Graham, please don't do that. If anything goes wrong, our company will gain unwanted attention."

"That's right. Let's allow him to come down first, and we can address the issue afterward."

Angela raised her hand assertively and declared, "I will take full responsibility if anything goes wrong. I need all of you to step back."
