Chapter: 187
Whitney was sprawled on the ground, her lifeblood pooling around her.
The stranger, shocked and scared, immediately dialed for the police and an ambulance.
By the time Whitney was rushed into the emergency room, it was too late. She was declared dead shortly after arrival.
Her family, arriving in the midst of chaos, crumbled under the weight of their grief upon receiving the grim news.
Although the police were still piecing together the events, the tragic story was already making headlines across major media outlets.
There were indications that Whitney had serious conflicts with some employees at Oasis Studio shortly before her tragic suicide.
Among those mentioned was Kaitlin, who was accused of workplace bullying that allegedly drove Whitney to her death.
The details in the gossip columnist's report were so vivid it almost seemed they had been there to witness the events themselves.
As a result, both Oasis Studio and Kaitlin found themselves under severe scrutiny, bombarded with criticism and wild conjecture.
By the time Kaitlin caught wind of the news, the police had already arrived at her door to question her.
Only then did she accept that Whitney had truly taken her own life, shortly after being forced out of the office.
"Ms. Gilbert, don't worry. Just tell us exactly what happened," the officer urged kindly, noticing her condition as she was pregnant.
Kaitlin nodded, took a deep breath, and recounted everything from the start of the project.
Once the police concluded their questioning, they departed.
Kaitlin was left feeling deeply disturbed. Did Whitney kill herself because she sent her away?
She didn't get it.
If it was indeed true, the blame might lie with her.
Her phone rang with an unknown number flashing on the screen.
She hesitated but answered.
"You murderer! Why don't you just die?" shouted an angry voice from the other end.
Shocked, Kaitlin immediately ended the call.
More calls flooded in from unknown numbers.
She ignored them all and eventually turned her phone off, realizing her number must have been leaked as the public's outrage reached a fever pitch.
Despite her trepidation, Kaitlin opened her laptop. She needed to see what was being said about her online and figure out a way to clear her name without further damaging Oasis Studio.
