Isla Prescott didn't dare to dwell on the sheer gravity of what it meant for Shane Sterling, the heir to the Sterling Group, to make that leap.
The river's surface was pitch-black, like a monster that devours people whole. She watched helplessly as Shane Sterling also disappeared beneath the water. A wave of intense panic made Isla Prescott tremble like a leaf, but she forced herself to calm down.
She immediately called the police for help. Fortunately, the police station was nearby, and officers arrived quickly.
Isla Prescott picked up Shane Sterling's jacket and followed the police down below the bridge. By the time they reached the riverbank, there was nothing to be seen on the water's surface but ripples stirred by the wind.
The Easton River was too vast. Since it would take time to dispatch rescue boats, the officers could only search the immediate vicinity for the time being.
Isla Prescott stood by the river, wanting to help but completely powerless.
