Although Sabrina didn’t recognize the female employee, she distinctly remembered her
voice.

Sabrina found herself at a loss for words.
Everything changed overnight.

fire.
Many had their doubts, believing there might be more to the incident than met the eye.
A few even questioned whether the deceased worker should have been on duty at that
time, and whether he was compelled to work overtime.
Certain individuals harbored suspicions about the credibility of the survivors’ statements,
suggesting they could have been influenced by monetary incentives to shape a particular
narrative.
Furthermore, some individuals questioned the adequacy of the building’s fire-fighting
facilities, expressing concerns about potential concealed safety risks.
The Internet was abuzz with a lot of speculations.
Only a handful of individuals placed their trust in the police’s official statement.
Before long, an interview video surfaced on the Internet and quickly gained widespread
attention.
The video revolved around Julius Duncan, the son of the deceased janitor. A young man in
his twenties, he appeared in plain clothes, his eyes red with emotion.
Throughout the interview, he repeatedly wiped tears from the corners of his eyes while
facing the camera.
“My father was always dedicated to his job, refusing to touch a single drop of alcohol when
working. He funded my education through sheer toil, and even before I could compensate
his efforts, he was no Longer with us. I refuse to accept anyone branding him as negligent,
especially in his absence. I don’t seek financial recompense. I demand justice! I’ll press
legal charges and hope for your backing!”
Such an outcry won unanimous sympathy, with Blakely Group earning a widespread scorn.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe topic of drinking during work hours was a sensitive one.
As per the workplace insurance policy, fatalities resulting from alcohol or drug use couldn’t
be categorized as work-related injuries.
This meant if a worker, under the influence, met with an accident or lost his Life, it
wouldn’t qualify as a job-related injury.
The primary responsibility would rest with the worker, the company assuming a secondary
role in such situations.
Blakely Group’s official stance was to abide by the police investigation’s findings and act
within the boundaries of the law.
Some online commentators argued that the Blakely family’s substantial wealth negated
the need for a fabricated tale to evade mere millions in compensation. They didn’t have
to.
