Bye, My Irresistible Love

Chapter 675: Would George Deal With Me 

Helen’s POV:

"Zhester Technology is in deep water this time.I never expected such a famous, huge company to encounter a problem of this nature." Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

"This is the biggest crisis that Zhester Technology has been faced with since its inception, right?"

"Seems like they have offended someone, so they are in for the ride of their life."

"I don‘t think so.According to the netizens, it was Jane, the technical director of Zhester Technology who is at the root of it all.She is one of the founders of Zhester Technology.It‘s said that due to the uneven distribution of interests, Jane was dissatisfied and deliberately retaliated."

"But I heard from its staff that it was not the conflict of business interests.There‘s a personal angle to it.Apparently George betrayed Jane and fell in love with someone else at the workplace.Jane could not accept George‘s infidelity so she took revenge where it would hurt him most."

"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.She would rather destroy herself than let the other side win and live a good life."

It was our lunch break and Tina and Melissa were browsing through their phones and whispering Suddenly, they turned to me and asked, "Helen, don‘t you know George? Do you have an inside scoop?"

I was absorbed in my work.

When I heard their curious voices, I answered without raising my head, "No."

Sensing my disinterest, Tina and Melissa started gossiping about something else.

"When I went to the washroom just now, I bumped into Sanford coming back to the company.He‘s more handsome in real life than he is on TV.I finally understand why he has so many fans!"

"No wonder Velma of Spacetime Finance has been chasing after him!"

The two of them gossiped animatedly about Velma.

I couldn‘t help scowling and whispered to remind them, "Tina, Melissa, don‘t talk about the gossip of clients in their place.This is a taboo in our industry.You have worked here long enough to know the dire consequences if someone hears you."

Under normal circumstances, if they were chatting about matters unrelated to work, I would not discipline them.

But today, they were openly gossiping about our client, in their company even, so I had to be strict with them.

Guiltily, Tina and Melissa lowered their heads and stopped talking.

After a few minutes, Tina, who was checking her phone, suddenly exclaimed, "George has been summoned by the police.It seems that this matter has escalated!"

"Zhester Technology has a large user base.This is a breach of the safety and privacy of users from numerous families.George has got into big trouble this time.He will be held accountable."

"Let‘s see if he is powerful enough to win this one."

"There‘s a rumor online that he comes from a rich family.I wonder if it‘s true.If it‘s true, then he should be able to buy himself out of this mess."

When I heard that the police had summoned George in for questioning, my heart stopped.I quickly turned on my phone to check the news.

It was big news.

As soon as I opened the news page, I found that Zhester Technology and George dominated the headlines.

Someone had posted a video online, in which George was seen being taken away by the police.He walked confidently but wore a cold expression.He was dressed in the same clothes he wore yesterday.

There was no trace of frustration on his face, except for a frown.

With the media taking pictures all around him, he was still very calm in the face of trouble.He nodded lightly as if what he was facing was not a difficulty, but all in a day‘s work.

Soren, who was with him, was not as calm as George.His face looked fatigued.I watched the video over and over again.

Tears began to blur my vision.I had been worried all afternoon.

Before I got off work, I sent George a message.

"Are you okay?" George didn‘t reply to me.He probably hadn‘t finished his work yet.

It was not until midnight that I finally received his reply.

"I‘m fine.I still have something to deal with.I may not be able to come home tonight.Go to bed early."

After I replied with an "okay", there was no response from him.I sat in the study and thought for a long time.

Finally, I decided to post another message online.

"It has been more than a month since the incident and it has had a great impact on my life.In the past month, I kept looking for the truth and asked experts from different fields for their professional advice.As the evidence I provided shows, the real culprit was Jane Campbell alone.Unfortunately, Zhester Technology became a victim and suffered collateral damage from Jane‘s revenge.So this really isn‘t about Chester Technology.Please don‘t spread rumors when following this matter.I have full faith and confidence in the products of Zhester Technology as always, and I‘ll continue to use them in my home."I had tried my best to spare Zhester Technology so that I could rest with a clear conscience.However, the netizens didn‘t buy it and left nasty comments under my post.

"Hey, have you been threatened? Why else are you speaking up for Zhester Technology now?"

"How much did Zhester Technology pay you? You even call the company a victim now!"

"Was it your motive from the outset to extort money instead of seeking justice? You‘re changing your words because they‘ve paid you? Zhester Technology can sue you for blackmailing them."

Abuse and ridicule were everywhere.

Some people even spurned the authenticity of my evidence as a mere fabrication.

Lucy sent a message then and said angrily, "Helen, are you an idiot? Why did you issue such a statement? What if Zhester Technology takes advantage of this and accuses you of blackmail? Do you think the netizens will believe you over Zhester Technology?"

"No, George won‘t do this to me," I said firmly.

I believed in George‘s character.

He would never stoop so low.

"Helen, you‘re too naive.George is a businessman, and this is his business we‘re talking about," cried Lucy sadly.

My hand holding the phone tightened, and I became doubtful.

Would he? Would George really deal with me to protect his company?
