After the assassin was captured, Rachel and the other girl, who had been assaulted by Charles, along with their families, arrived at the police station to report the incident under the protection arranged by Bella and Justin.
At this point, Charles' crime of raping a minor was confirmed. There was hardly any chance of turning the tables.
The media gathered outside the police station, and the news spread like wildfire.
The police closely guarded the identities and information of the two victimized girls. Although the media did not take a single photo, it did not stop them from grabbing the headlines.
"Charles Iverson's rape confirmed!"
"The Iversons threaten the victims' families."
"Charles Iverson suspected of hiring an assassin!"
"Charles Iverson, it's over!"
The sentiment of online public opinion was also reversing!
Those who previously insulted, doubted, and mocked Amelia were nowhere to be found. Instead, there was a chorus of cheers, admiration, and praise.
[Amelia Thompson actually stood up under tremendous pressure, revealing her own wounds to speak up for the victims. Admirable!]
[Where are those keyboard warriors who accused her of seeking attention? Come out and face the truth!]
[The Iversons even dares to threaten the families of the victimized girls, preventing them from reporting to the police! Absolutely lawless! If it weren't for Amelia Thompson, this case would never have seen the light of day!]
[Does the concept of law even exist in front of the financial magnates? LOL!]
[If Charles Iverson isn't sentenced to life imprisonment, then there's simply no law and justice in this country!]
Just as Iverson Group was
beginning to settle down, they faced
another massive onslaught of
negative public opinion. If it weren't for Christopher previously stabilizing Iverson Group's stock prices and restarting the Sentania project, Iverson Group would likely have suffered a serious blow.
After the group meeting today, as the senior executives left, Lance made James and Christopher stay behind.
With a loud bang, Lance angrily threw the documents on the table toward James' face, but the latter dodged it.
"Wasn't it just rape?! How did it turn into attempted murder now?!" Lance's eyes were blazing with fury. "How did you handle this mess? Why is the situation getting worse?! Have you reached the end of your term as the president?!"
Christopher's refined face remained calm, with just a barely noticeable lift of his lips as he pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses.
"Dad! This matter has nothing to do with me. I've done my best to help Charles clear his name!"
James looked innocent and
aggrieved. "But that kid couldn't
keep calm and refused to fully trust
me. He even came up with the idea of killing them. Not only did he dig a hole for our Iverson Group, but he also backed himself into a corner. Those two girls have come out to testify under the protection of Bella and Justin. Dad, we can't protect Charles anymore!"
"That's strange. Charles is in jail. Even if he wanted to do this, he wouldn't be able to take action, right?" Christopher toyed with his pen, raising an eyebrow playfully "James, could it be that you helped Charles with the task and messed it up? After all, apart from his lawyer, he's only seen you during this time."
James' heart trembled. "Christopher, don't spout nonsense! I'm not as foolish as Charles!"
"What do we do now?!" Lance pointed angrily at his embarrassed face. "Before the sun sets tomorrow, you must come up with a solution for me! Otherwise, you can quit as the president of the group and hand it over to Christopher!"
