Klein was way more patient with Whitney than with anyone else.
He kept it short and to the point, his voice low. “Spit it out”
Oliver snorted.
He thought he could get under Klein’s skin, but Klein was just as cool as ever
Maybe his girlfriend isn’t that important to him after all, Oliver thought.
It was pretty normal for a man in the elite circle to think that way.

“It’s really nothing. My girlfriend was just trying to do your girlfriend a favor by introducing her to a client, but it turned out the client wanted to sue your family’s adopted daughter. In the end, your nephew probably stepped in and handled it. Oliver said, sounding casual.
“She was about to marry your nephew, right? Now that the bride’s changed, it’s pretty normal for her to have it out for your family’s adopted daughter,” Oliver added with a shrug.
It sounded like Oliver was making excuses for Whitney, but Klein couldn’t stand his tone.
“Carter was the one who got dumped. Are you sure you remember it right?” Klein shot back.
Oliver froze.
‘Oh, right! Guess I did make a mistake, he thought.
He hadn’t been at the wedding, but he’d heard from Dustin later that Klein’s nephew got totally embarrassed by the bride an that day.
‘Does Klein really have to go out of his way to point that our? Oliver thought.
Oliver said with a sheepish grin, “Yeah, she dumped your nephew.”
Klein snorted and hung up.
Oliver snorted, surprised, “Did he just hang up on me?”
“You deserved it!” Joanne grumbled, her lips in a pout
Oliver protested, “Joanne, why did you say that?”

Not going to answer it?” she asked.
Oliver paused, turning the screen away from her, and said, “Just some sales call. Not worth picking up.”
Joanne curled her lips and turned to look out the window, lost in thought.

That night, just as Jay told Whitney he wasn’t going to sue Starwave Entertainment, the hashtag #Starw. Killing It” became a trending topic.
Whitney saw the notification and tapped in to check the news.
Emily’s X followers had shot up by 160,000, and several well–known music critics were showering her album with rave
reviews.
‘Seems Starwave paid for some serious promo, Whitney thought.
When an entertainment company started hyping an artist up, as long as the artist was not a total lost cause, he was bound to blow up at least a little.
Emily was called an absolute goddess and a musical prodigy. She was getting showered with every kind of praise imaginable.
[Starwave is seriously betting big on this new artist. She’s really got what it takes. Just checked out her new track, and it’s a banger!]
[LOL, you really think she’s just some rookie? She’s actually the crown princess! With all that cash Mr. Carter Harris is giving his girl the ultimate proposal gift.]
Whitney saw the comments, and finally got why Jay had decided to bail.
Honestly, even if he won the copyright case, he would inevitably cross the big money and he would be done for. No matter how many hits he wrote, he’d just get blacklisted.
“That’s just how things go in this business, Whitney thought. “The rules here are set by the big players, and if one doesn’t play along, then he’s out.‘
*****
Klein read the documents his assistant had sent to his inbox, and now he understood everything that had gone down.
Oliver’s comment flashed through his mind. ‘Does Whitney have a problem with Emily just because he’s jealous about Carter?‘ Klein wondered.
The next day, Whitney was back to her usual grind on the Harris Group merger deal. Just before she was about to clock out, she got a call from Jay.
“Hey Ms. Moore, sorry to bug you Got a minute tonight? I want to talk about that copyright thing.” Jay said.
Whitney raised her eyebrows, surprised he’d changed his mind again. “I’ll probably be running late today. How about we meet at 8 at the cafe downstairs at my office?”
“Sounds good,” Jay said.
Aker she hung up, her phone buzzed with a trending alert, and she suddenly realized why Ryan was calling her
Chapter 78-
The news of “Fate–being plagiarized had just made it to the trending topic.
If Starwave hadn’t gone all out with the promo yesterday, most people probably wouldn’t have even heard of the cyt alone the new singer Emily Miller.
But after all that hype, everyone had at least heard of her, so when they saw that headfime, they were initiat
A prominent music critic sharply pointed out several striking similarities between “Fate” and Yours accused the song of outright plagiarism.
Since Emily Miller was credited as both the lyricist and composer for “Fate,” she was instantly pushed us became the center of controversy.
Whitney couldn’t help but wonder. There was no way a company as big as Starwave Entertainment didn’t have a sop crisis PR team ready to go.
A trending topic for at least two hours just didn’t make sense.
In the comments section, most of the netizens suddenly turned against her. Emily barely had any real fans, so there one to back her up or fight for her in the replies.
Her comments section got roasted all the way to 5,000 layers of hate before she finally had to close it
Whitney wrapped up her work and walked into the café right at 8 in the evening.
“Hello, Ms. Moore, Jay greeted her.
Whitney greeted him and said, “Jay, hope I didn’t keep you waiting too long.”
