“This is insane.” Everyone thought Shirley had lost her mind. But Charlie, her father, immediately agreed to her demands and started making phone calls.

It was a case of one being willing to enable, and the other being willing to exploit. Many bystanders, fed up with the drama, pulled out their phones to record the scene.

Howard looked around and pointed at a garbage truck nearby. “Let’s move that truck over here, just in case? As soon as he and Viola left, the crowd began to gossip.

“That celebrity is ruining lives. Look what he’s done to this kid,”

“It’s not his fault, though. Charlie spoils his daughter too much. He gives her whatever she wants. Last month, she wanted a new phone, so he went out in the middle of the night to collect trash to pay for it.”

“Really? Wait, I just saw a hospital logo on Charlie’s bag. There’s even a medical report, Oh my God, it says he’s missing a kidney.”

“He actually sold his kidney? I heard him crying during an argument with his daughter, saying he’d sell his kidney to buy her a ticket. This is madness.”

Quinlyn moved through the crowd, picking up the medicine and medical records from Charlie’s bag, The rumors were true. Shirley had driven her father to sell his kidney just to fund her obsession with a celebrity.

Quinlyn frowned, glancing at Charlie, who was still on the phone. She pulled out her own phone and sent a message to Luke, Raymond’s manager. As she hit send, another wave of objects came crashing down from the rooftop.

“Ugh, if she wants to die, fine, but why is she throwing stuff? Does she have no conscience?” Someone muttered. The next second, that mutter turned into a scream.

Everyone looked up and saw Yosef and another rescuer rushing toward Shirley, trying to pull her back over the railing. But she struggled fiercely, and the railing was too high. At one point, her foot slipped, and she dangled precariously over the edge.

“Oh my God, be careful!” The crowd below held their breath. Thankfully, Yosef managed to climb over the railing and pull her back to safety, earning a collective sigh of relief.

But before anyone could fully relax, Shirley let out a furious scream. “Don’t touch me! Get away! I only want Raymond! No one can stop me from seeing him!”

She swung the megaphone, hitting Yosef on the head, then shoved him hard. Dizzy and off–balance, he stumbled backward, lost his footing, and fell from the building.

“Ahhh!” The crowd screamed in horror. But Yosef didn’t hit the ground immediately. Instead, he crashed into an old air conditioning unit on the building’s exterior. The rusted metal frame gave way, and a sharp pipe pierced through his body, leaving him suspended in mid–air.

Blood began to drip down the pipe, and the crowd below was frozen in shock. Shirley on the rooftop stood there, stunned.

“It wasn’t me! He was the one trying to grab me! I didn’t mean to push him. Dad, Raymond, why isn’t anyone saving me?” But no one cared about her now.
