Bye, My Irresistible Love

Chapter 674: Opposing Sides 

Helen’s POV:

"Helen?"

George was outside the study and calling my name.He must have already known what I had posted online.

After all, it had gone viral and caused quite a stir on the Internet.

I lowered my head and slowly clenched my fists before I gathered up the courage to say, "Sorry, I have nothing to say."

George was silent for a while.

Then, he replied in a low voice, "I have to go to the company now.Are you going to be okay home alone?"

His voice was still calm, as if nothing had happened.I was still sitting on the chair in the study.

Instead of opening the door and talking to him face to face, I only said, "Go ahead.I‘ll be fine."

After a short pause, I heard him start to walk away.I listened to his receding footsteps until they completely faded.I sat in the study and watched the news about my post that was now taking cyberspace by storm.

With my prodding, many netizens began to look into who Jane was.

Information on Jane‘s background quickly spread like wildfire.

She graduated from a popular university abroad, and she was the technical director and one of the founders of Zhester Technology.

Only she had the ability and the authority to do what she had done.

Without the users‘ permission, Jane Had planted a hypnosis program in the smart systems that the company made, seriously compromising the security of their users.

The very same program had posed a threat to my mental health.It proved that Jane intended to cause me harm.

Jane was now being severely criticized online.

Not only that, the police would also be put under a microscope.

Overnight, Jane‘s image was left in ruins.

Jane and Zhester Technology frequently made the news headlines.

Many netizens hoped that Zhester Technology would give an explanation as soon as possible.

Zhester Technology was an industry giant, and many people used its products and services.

If there really was a security issue, the consequences would be unimaginable. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

At the same time, there were many comments online that supported Zhester Technology and questioned me.

"Is it really this easy to spread baseless rumors nowadays? I can‘t believe that a great enterprise like Zhester Technology will be slandered like this."

"Is there something wrong with the person who posted this? Zhester Technology is such a big company.Why would a hugely successful company want to risk everything just to hurt her?"

"Our family is also using Zhester Technology‘s smart equipment.We‘ve never had any problems or security issues.Did you perhaps make a mistake?"

"Let‘s wait for Zhester Technology‘s official statement regarding this."

Hundreds and thousands of families depended on Zhester Technology‘s smart system, and that was why many netizens were very emotional and angry.

Soon, the comments that expressed support for Zhester Technology also gathered criticism, and ultimately, the discussion became heated.I also waited for Zhester Technology‘s official statement.I was curious.

Now Jane and I were on opposing sides.I had no idea how George would deal with this matter.I waited the entire night, but Zhester Technology kept silent and didn‘t make any statement.

George didn‘t come home either.

But I didn‘t worry too much because it was late at night now.

If the discussion continued until dawn, there would be more people online, and the number of netizens who joined the discussion would definitely double.

Early morning the next day, I went to the police station and turned in all the materials and evidence.

The purpose of creating a disturbance on the Internet was to ruin Jane’s reputation.

The purpose of reporting the case was to make sure that Jane took legal responsibility for what she had done.

I had done what I should, and I didn‘t bother thinking about what would happen later.

On my way out of the police station, my phone suddenly vibrated.I unlocked it and found a new message from George.

He said that he had been busy at work all night and had a lot to deal with, so he wasn‘t able to come home last night.

He even reminded me gently, "Remember to eat something before you go to work, okay? And please drive safely."The words were full of concern.I thought for a while and replied simply, "Okay."

I stayed up all night last night.

Before heading out to the police station this morning, I just simply washed up and put on light makeup to cover up the haggardness in my face.I didn‘t stop to eat breakfast since I had no appetite.

After I left the police station, I immediately drove to Fantail Entertainment as scheduled.I couldn‘t delay my work at any time.

It had only been one night, but my post had already become a sensation on the Internet.

Netizens were discussing the products of Zhester Technology.

Bloggers who were in the smart technology niche were analyzing the possibility and ethics of manipulating people‘s emotions with smart equipment.

Even if Zhester Technology issued an official statement later, the damage had already been done..

Lucy later called me and warned, "Don‘t watch the news or read anything online today, okay? You did nothing wrong, Helen.No matter what happens, I will be on your side."

"Thank you, Lucy.I really appreciate it."

Even if I wanted to watch the news or read articles online, I didn‘t have the time.I still had some due diligence to do for Fantail Entertainment.I was so busy that I didn‘t even get the chance to glance at my phone.

But just because I didn‘t take the initiative to check the news didn‘t mean that I could escape from it.

Now, many employees of Fantail Entertainment and even my colleagues, Tina and Melissa, were discussing the issue openly.

They kept talking about it while we were working.
