Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After…

Chapter 583 Why Did He Commit Suicide?

Meryl thought to herself, “As despicable as Mr. White was, his actions didn’t warrant death. He had malicious intent toward Rachel, but no actual harm was done. So why did he suddenly end his life?”

For some reason, Felix’s face flashed in her mind.

She wondered, “Could it have been him?”

“After all, it was Felix who lured Rachel to the bar that night.”

“But that doesn’t make sense. Mr. White didn’t implicate Felix to the authorities. What motive would Felix have to silence him?”

Chandler’s voice brought her back to the conversation. “The police investigated, and all the evidence points to Mr. White’s death being a suicide. But…”

“But it’s strange, isn’t it? Who chooses to commit suicide by castrating themselves?”

Chandler let out a low hum, agreeing with her. “Exactly.”

Such a gruesome method of self-harm felt less like a suicide and more like a calculated act of revenge.

If it was revenge, the killer likely had some connection to Rachel.

“Rachel had spent years abroad. Who can possibly do something like this on her behalf?” she thought.

The more Meryl thought about it, the more it seemed Felix was the only plausible suspect.

As she mulled it over, Rachel walked by with her violin slung over her shoulder.

Meryl’s gaze sharpened. She quickly ended her call and approached her.

“Wanna grab lunch together?”

Rachel frowned, clearly taken aback by the sudden invitation. “We’re not exactly close enough to share meals, are we?”

“I’m out of money on my meal card,” Meryl replied with a deadpan expression.

Rachel’s reluctance was written all over her face.

Meryl, completely unfazed, added, “Chandler funded your cello studies abroad, and the money spent on you is at least a million dollars, if not ten million dollars. It’s just a cafeteria meal. You wouldn’t be reluctant to pay, would you?”

Rachel’s brows knit together as she scrutinized Meryl, clearly trying to figure out her intentions.

Since it wasn’t her money, Meryl didn’t hold back. She ordered an entire table’s worth of dishes and sat down across from Rachel.

Her actions left Rachel utterly baffled.

Once the food arrived, Meryl immediately dug in, her focus entirely on eating, as if she really had come just to mooch off Rachel’s meal card. Gradually, Rachel let her guard down.

Watching Meryl eat so happily, Rachel eventually gave in and started eating too. After all, it was her money being spent, and every uneaten bite felt like a wasted investment.

Once the atmosphere felt sufficiently casual, Meryl suddenly said, “Mr. White is dead.”

Rachel froze mid-bite, her fork hovering in the air. “What did you just say?”

“The man from the bar that night. He committed suicide.”

A flicker of shock crossed Rachel’s face before she broke into a smile. “Good riddance! Serves him right. Karma always catches up. But… why would he kill himself?”

Meryl frowned, studying Rachel’s reaction carefully.

Her expression seemed genuinely surprised, with no hint of pretense.

Initially, Meryl had considered the possibility that Rachel might have orchestrated a revenge killing. But now, she dismissed that notion entirely.

Meryl put her fork down and stood to leave.

Rachel, startled, called out after her. “Hey! We’re not done talking. Where are you going?”
