CHAPTER 1554: CHAPTER 1554: SUICIDE

Riley Thompson thought carefully for a moment, which suddenly seemed to trigger a memory, and she continued on:

"Yes, I think I also heard a name, it seems like... Mia Carter!"

Upon hearing these three words, Charlotte Thompson’s pupils shook: "What did you say?"

Perhaps not expecting such a big reaction from Charlotte, Riley was slightly startled, as if she had gotten quite a shock.

"Is this person a friend of Miss Anne’s?"

When Annie Anne and Mia Carter had that incident in the crew, Riley might not have entered the entertainment industry yet, so she didn’t know.

But at this moment, Charlotte was lost in her own thoughts.

Because she remembered something Mia Carter had said before.

Mia Carter did tamper with the prop ladder, but it wasn’t where Annie had slipped and fallen.

Initially, Charlotte just thought Mia’s explanation was useless sophistry, but thinking about it again now, it seemed something was not quite right.

"Miss Thompson."

Submerged in her own thoughts at this time, Charlotte ignored Riley’s call.

It wasn’t until Riley repeated her call a few times that Charlotte snapped back to reality.

Seeing Charlotte’s face looking a bit off, Riley worriedly asked, "What’s wrong? Did something happen? Is it related to this Mia Carter?"

"Nothing, it was just an accident at that time."

Charlotte didn’t explain what had happened, and besides, if Riley really wanted to know, she could easily find it online.

However, Charlotte was somewhat surprised that Riley would say these things to her.

At this moment, Riley’s thoughts coincided with Charlotte’s.

"Miss Thompson, are you surprised why I would say these things to you? You might think I’m overly concerned about Miss Anne’s affairs."

As she said this, Riley licked her somewhat dry lips, and then a slightly odd smile crept up her mouth.

"Actually, I used to have a cousin."

Charlotte squinted her eyes.

"She was always a lively and cheerful person, but I never thought she would suffer from depression. I never thought someone with her personality could develop such an illness."

Riley rubbed her fingertips, "When I saw her again later, she had completely changed, feeling very unfamiliar to me. Not long after that, I heard... about her suicide."

"So, when I see Miss Anne, I always think of my cousin. I feel they have a lot of similarities."

Since Charlotte didn’t speak, Riley touched her cheek, then inexplicably gave a dry laugh.

"Does Miss Thompson find my words too strange? I actually... I’m sorry, I don’t know how to explain, I..."

Saying this, Riley looked a bit flustered, but after stammering for a long time, she couldn’t piece together a complete sentence.

But upon seeing Riley like this, Charlotte slowly said, "I know what you’re trying to say."

In fact, Riley’s words reminded Charlotte, making her realize some things she has overlooked all along.

Although Annie Anne seems to have almost recovered on the surface, the emotional trauma inside might not heal so easily.
