So, Becca Reyes naturally dismissed her doubts.
But she never would have imagined...
Becca Reyes furrowed her brows, could there be really a connection?
"Oh, no connection?" Flossie Wright suddenly laughed, but her body radiated even more pressure and coldness, an inexplicable danger swirling around her. She arched an eyebrow, her eyes filled with cold amusement, "Weren’t you guys the ones who had been provoking and ridiculing her?"
As soon her words fell, Clara Birch and Agnes Parker seemed to be exposed, their faces suddenly froze.
Not for anything else, but because Flossie Wright had hit the nail on its head.
These past few days, whenever they had the chance, they would look for Janice Wood to ridicule, insult, and humiliate her, wanting her to die. They didn’t think much of it at the time, just venting the accumulated resentment they had, and Winsley Scott’s problem provided a golden opportunity. The most important thing was that faced with this problem from Winsley Scott, Janice Wood never resisted.
Seeing Janice Wood’s low spirits and sadness was their greatest pleasure.
In some ways, Janice Wood’s plunge had indeed something to do with the two of them. Furthermore, only half an hour before Janice Wood jumped, they had been cornering her, hurling abuses, leaving no cruel words unsaid. Janice Wood had already shown signs of breaking down. It was Clara Birch who realized the abnormality and hurriedly pulled Agnes Parker away.
During a person’s emotional distress, any negativity could ripple across their state of mind, especially the deliberate insults and ridicule from Clara Birch and Agnes Parker.
Flossie Wright had a pretty good understanding of Janice Wood; she was sure that before she left, Janice Wood did not have any suicidal thoughts.
If so, something must have happened in the meantime.
So, while the squad leader was cooking, she inquired around the cafeteria for the latest information on Janice Wood, and immediately zeroed in on Clara Birch and Agnes Parker.
This small suspicion led to the current probing.
"She jumped off the cliff herself, we didn’t force her, let alone push her. Even though we said some words, what does that have to do with us?"
Clara Birch tactfully pushed Agnes Parker to the side, indicating for her to shut up. She then turned to Flossie Wright, completely shaking off any responsibility.
Agnes Parker might not realize it yet, but she had to.

Having encountered Flossie Wright for some time now, she knew about the shocking things this woman has done. She could literally turn the whole Base upside down. With Flossie Wright’s personality, inviting them here was certainly not just for a probe.
They had witnessed Flossie Wright’s combat skills, even the two of them working together might not defeat her. And on top of that, Becca Reyes was also present, ready to aid at any moment. If Flossie Wright really wanted to do something to them, they had absolutely no chance to fight back.
Thinking of this, Clara Birch’s expression turned more anxious. She grabbed Agnes Parker’s wrist and started heading towards the downhill road.
"Oh, what’s the rush?!" Becca Reyes, who was already on guard, walked around to the side of the road, wearing a smiling face which was starkly contrasting with Flossie Wright’s. With her arms folded across her chest, she blocked these two and raised an eyebrow, "Let’s talk?"
When their way back was blocked, Clara Birch, who had already made up her mind to leave as quickly as possible, hardened her gaze, letting go of Agnes Parker and quickly charged at Becca Reyes. She raised her hand and clenched it into a fist, putting all her strength into the attack, as if cutting the air open, bringing with it a slight sign of turbulence as it gradually spread.
However, before she could get close to Becca Reyes, a hand shot out and fiercely locked onto her shoulder, and then without waiting for any resistance, that hand forcefully pulled her wrist down along her arm. Realizing what’s happening, Clara Birch swiftly swung her other hand over, but unfortunately Flossie Wright, prepared for this, was quicker. She gently dodged Clara Birch’s attack, and in the meantime, she quickly swung a punch up towards Clara Birch’s chin, forcing her to retreat back.
