Chapter 786 Frequent
Camille had these two questions in her mind, but she didn't participate
in the discussion with others. After all, no matter what the truth was, it
had nothing to do with her. Although she didn't like Louise, she wouldn't
push someone to their limits.
So not caring about it was the best response from her.
Camille continued with her work as everyone discussed for a few more
moments before it ended. After all, the people involved were not
present and no one could give a correct answer. So continuing to talk
about it would be a waste of time.
Just then, someone holding their phone and browsing through Hance
City's local forum suddenly exclaimed: "Louise is dead.â
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.
All eyes unconsciously turned towards the person who spoke those
words. She also had a pale and stiff face while holding up her phone: "I
saw it on a forum, and even the police have released an official
statement.â
Everyone subsequently picked up their phones to open up the local
forum thread - Camille included - after all such big news was quite
shocking.
The thread had exploded with comments from netizens.
The security guard at the apartment building where Louise lived found
her body in the treelawn of her apartment. She was stiff, lying in the
grass without any breath of life.
The security guard immediately called the police, who took her away,
and after an investigation, they concluded that her death was caused
by asphyxiation.
Why did she suffocate to death?
That's something to think about.
âIs this the person who apologized to Mrs. Simpson of the Simpson
Group last time?" a number of people commented on the post.
âIt's that person who apologized last time to Mrs. Simpson from
Simpson Group right?"
"Yes! It's definitely her!"
âLast time when she apologized, there wasn't any response from Mrs.
Simpson, right?"
"I feel like I've discovered some huge secret today... I'm starting to get
scared...â
"Me too!"
âThis is so scary... What if they silence me too?"
"Don't just speculate randomly; if they really didn?? t accept an
apology, then they would choose another way of dealing with things
instead of resorting to something like this because after all this is taking
someone?? s life! There must be other reasons behind this.â
There were many comments expressing different opinions which
caused chaos in that thread.
Compared to those people in that conference room though; naturally
everything seemed peaceful here despite Camille seeing what was
written on that post along with its replies - others saw them too - so
everyone looked at each other subconsciously including Camille as well
who felt their gaze upon herself.
Someone quickly said, "Ms. Armstrong, don't take it to heart. People
online are just talking nonsense..."
Camille smiled and said, "I'm not taking it to heart. I believe the police
will investigate thoroughly.â
She didn't do anything wrong, so she had nothing to feel guilty about.
Only those who have done something wrong would feel guilty.
So Camille's gaze turned towards Amber, who felt her stare and looked
back at her. The two of them locked eyes for a moment before Amber
seemed to flinch away.
At that moment, an architect asked in a low voice, "Miss Torres, Louise
worked for the same company as you. Did she commit suicide because
she couldn't handle the pressure from work?"
Amber's face changed even more drastically now with a hint of panic
flashing in her eyes as she replied coolly,"l don't know. I wasn't close
with her so don't ask me about it. Didn't Ms. Armstrong already say
everything there is to say about her? The police will naturally
investigate thoroughly.â
With that said Amber stood up and left for the restroom.
As soon as Amber left the conference room exploded into discussion.
"Amber's reaction was strange just now, wasn?? t it? Could it be related
to Louise?? s death?" someone asked.
âI noticed too because usually she likes bossing Louise around like she
doesn?? t see Louise as a human at all, and coupled with how their
company treats Louise like an afterthought, I wouldn?? t blame anyone
if they couldn?? t take it anymore." another chimed in
"If Amber really is responsible for Louise?? s death, then that?? s
terrifying! Did you guys see how calm and collected she was coming
into work like nothing happened? Isn?? t that scary?"
Everyone started discussing one after another. Although their voices
were low, Camille could hear everything clearly without missing any
details.
She also couldn?? t help but wonder if there was some truth behind
what they were saying or if this was all just speculation?
Could it really be Amber?
But these were all outsiders?? guesses; only thorough investigation
could reveal what truly happened, so she would not jump to
conclusions based on superficial information alone.
Camille didn't participate in their discussion but instead continued
working at her desk.
Although Louise wasn?? t famous nor held any significant position of
power or influence, she was once a living person- since news broke out
regarding where they found her body (in an apartment complex lawn),
many people took notice demanding justice from the police while urging
them towards conducting fair investigations promptly.
This morning was anything but calm, and Jenson arrived at the
museum in no time.
Jenson addressed everyone, âI'm sure you all know about Louise's
incident. None of us wanted this to happen. If the police need your
cooperation with their investigation, I hope you can fully cooperate.
Until we figure out what happened, our project will be put on hold for a
few days."
Everyone nodded and began packing up to leave.
However, before anyone could exit the conference room, security
guards from the museum arrived with police officers.
The police stated their intention: "We're here to investigate Louise's
case. According to her personal social media accounts during her time
on this project at the museum, she had many unpleasant encounters
with Camille and Amber. We would like both of them to come down to
the station for questioning.â
Jenson was present and immediately spoke up: âAs head of this
project, if there is anything that needs clarification or explanation from
us regarding Louise's case, please ask me directly.â
The police replied: "Both Camille and Amber have had conflicts with
Louise, so we need both of them for detailed questioning at the police
station. If necessary, later on we'll contact you."
Although Jenson was in charge of the project he wasn't needed right
now so he didn't accompany them.
Finally Camille and Amber were taken away by authorities.
Because none of them had ever experienced such a thing before they
were all frightened beyond belief.
Sophie whispered anxiously,"What should we do? Will we also be
implicated?"
"Will this affect our work?" another asked worriedly.
"Will this project be affected?" someone else chimed in fearfully
âIs it possible that Camille or Amber are involved in Louise's death?"
yet another questioned nervously.
Jenson overheard their discussions and his expression turned cold as
he sternly commanded, "Don't talk too much about this matter! We are
all part of one team; any negative or unfavorable incidents will affect
everyone! The best way is to keep silent; don't discuss it too much with
anyone else, because doing so may implicate yourself!"
Everyone nodded obediently as Jenson instructed them all go home
rest while waiting for further instructions from him. After they left, he
picked up his phone and dialed some numbers.
"His tone was urgent,â Kian said. "Ms. Armstrong has been taken away
by the police. They want him to come in for questioning, so what should
we do?"
Kian immediately relayed the news to Ayan. Although this matter had
nothing to do with Simpson Group directly, it was related to the
museum project and involved Camille, so Ayan couldn't just ignore it.
Seeing that Ayan was in silence, Kian asked, "Mr. Simpson, should I
contact Logan?"
"No need," Ayan replied calmly. âLet's wait and see after he finishes
giving his statement. If it's just a simple questioning session, there
won't be any problems.â
If he were to step forward now when only a statement needed to be
given, it would surely attract unwanted attention and cause
unnecessary trouble.
Kian nodded in agreement before voicing his doubts: "Mr. Simpson,
why did Louise have an accident at this time? Did her company
intentionally create this situation for publicity?"
Ayan shook his head coldly: "Impossible; not every company can afford
such publicity.â
He fell silent again before suddenly remembering something and
asking indifferently: "Find out who Louise frequently interacts with."
