Sean brought a glass of water over to the couch and sat down.
“The safety of our staff is vital, and you can never be too careful. Yes, this trip may delay us by two months and cost us some money, but the value of each scientist far exceeds the cost and time invested.”
After a sip of water, Sean continued, “Since we can’t partner with foreign companies to develop the chips, it’s time for us to make a last stand and focus on domestic research and development.”
He lowered his glass and leaned forward to address the Lawson Global executives.
“Gentlemen, this time, against all odds, we will forge ahead and pursue development independently. Under optimistic projections, the next three to five years will be critical for our company. But if we persevere, we’ll surely break the monopoly in the chip industry.”
The executives relaxed when the meeting ended. They drifted off to sleep.
Sean rubbed his temples wearily, his eyes red and exhausted as he looked out the plane
window.
Knowing Angeline as well as he did, he knew she wouldn’t leave their child behind.
He wondered how he could convince her.
Meanwhile, Angeline had woken up in the hospital.
“Angie, you’re awake!”
Alva approached the bed and helped Angeline sit up.
Her voice was hoarse as she asked, “What time is it, Alva?”
“It’s 3:00 pm,” Alva replied, placing a pillow behind Angeline and sitting beside her.
“Don’t worry, the River Town High School bullies have all been arrested!” This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
The situation had escalated following the suicide of a student.
Moreover, Henrietta had recently transferred to Cloudsville High School, partially because of the bullying at River Town High School that had driven her to attempt suicide.
To clear its name, Cloudsville High School took the initiative to address the issue online.
By the end of the night, news of the bullying at River Town High School had risen to the top of trending topics.
The public outcry reached a boiling point, fueled by the horrific nature of the events. With the
video evidence, the severity of the bullying was undeniable. As a result, law enforcement quickly apprehended the perpetrators and issued a formal report on the case.
Even though the video was censored, it still evoked a sense of fear.
The sight of such videos was particularly enraging to parents, as their children were also students. If their children were subjected to such treatment, they would feel murderous rage
themselves.
In response, the parents collectively demanded that the perpetrators be punished.
However, due to the strict control of online video content, the more explicit videos did not
circulate on the Internet.
Still, many morally corrupt individuals used vile language to seek out these videos.
Some people criticized the parents‘ decision to send their child to a regular school, suggesting that it encouraged bullying.
A pregnant Marion, shaking with anger, led the students of Cloudsville College into an all- night online battle with the internet trolls.
However, Marion soon discovered that many women online were spontaneously reporting offensive comments and posting their views below the trending news.
GuardianAngel: “Say no to the dissemination of exploitative videos involving underage girls! As a mother and a woman, we must safeguard innocent victims and support the families of the deceased. Perpetrators should face legal consequences, not the victims.”
AutumnCare: “Respect the deceased, cherish women, and remember, victims are not to blame. Expose the perpetrators, and let them face the consequences of their actions!”
GrumpyToad: “I’m standing guard in the comments tonight! I dare anyone to ask for those videos. I’ll report whoever that does. If I catch anyone spreading that filth, I’ll report them to the authorities for distributing obscene material!‘
LilTomato: “Rest well, miss. There are no bad guys there. We’ll protect this world for you. We won’t let those videos surface. You did nothing wrong. It’s the perpetrators who are despicable!”
