After knowing that Olive had alreadypleted all the necessary procedures and that she would be able to live with Avery today, Charlotte’s heart was finally at ease. She was afraid that something messed up would happen during the process. It hadn’t been an easy journey for Olive. She did not wish to see her suffer anymore.


    Avery’s mood didn’t improve. He spent most of his time at home or thepany. Charlotte tried to ask him out a few times, but she didn’t receive any reply.


    The only good news was that theunch was a huge sess. Charlotte led thepany to receive Round A of investment, excluding Shane’s, which made the wholepany’s size doubled. After all, they worked in a traditional industry and couldn’tpare with the media industry. Although they didn’t earn much, they created a huge impact.


    At that moment, the case of the workers’ car ident was suddenly exposed. There were all kinds of news across the Inte and the newspapers.


    Charlotte was busy solving the problem, but she was still greatly bothered by the rumors. She knew that it was useless to avoid it, so she could only count on the media to make a statement.


    “Ms. Emerson, several mediapanies had reported the causes and consequences of the ident, but…” Peter’s face was unusually pale.


    These media loved to feast on rumors. By allowing an incident to go viral, they could obtain the poprity that they desired. Therefore, if any media was willing to issue a rification, it implied that thispany was the enemy of other mediapanies.


    In a situation like this, they would definitely gain more attention by watching than helping.


    “Let’s wait a little longer.” Charlotte looked at thements on the Inte. She would be lying if she said she didn’t care. However, she had to wait for a suitable opportunity.


    And it must be ignited directly at once.


    At first, Peter wanted to say that there was no need for him and Charlotte to take care of that with Shane here, so she didn’t have to worry too much. She could just ask Mr. Fuller to help her. However, when he saw that Shane didn’t even look at him and Charlotte, he knew what was going on.


    This was an excellent opportunity for Charlotte to train herself. How could Shane, someone who loved her so much, directly protect her under his wings?


    If that happened, she wouldn’t be able to grow her own wings.


    “Ms. Emerson, what are you waiting for?” Peter decided to follow Charlotte’s idea as much as possible. Since Shane didn’t want to bother too much, there was no need for him to impose his ideas on Charlotte either.


    After a moment of silence, Charlotte raised the corner of her lips and said, “Today, they will enact a new decree. It’s rted to workce idents. I’m waiting for the order to be dered.”


    This decree was actually very simple. Once an ident happened at work, if the boss and the staff had already reached an agreement to make a payment, then the staff would not be able to appeal for this matter again unless there was nopensation given or reparation paid from the very beginning.


    In other words.


    If anyone were still discussing that topic on the Inte after the decree was announced, they would be suspected of viting thew.Because she had alreadypleted thepensation for the ident, and the workers and their families had also epted it.


    Upon hearing that, Peter immediately went to search for information. He obtainedprehensive information on this decree shortly afterward. Looking at the words written on it, he marveled at Charlotte’s calmness in his heart.


    “Ms. Emerson, you already knew about this decree?”


    “No. I looked it up after the incident happened. So don’t worry now. Let’s wait for another five hours. We will definitely see the result in five hours.”


    There were five hours left until the vast majority got off work.


    All they needed to do was wait a little longer.


    Two hourster.


    The new decree was dered, and the incident from Charlotte’spany rose to a higher level-Was the new decree issued to help Charlotte Emerson specifically? Why did Charlotte Emerson have the right to ask the court to issue a decree for her?


    After such spections appeared, even if Charlotte didn’t go to thepany to solve it, the people in the office wouldn’t just sit back and do nothing.


    After all, it was a matter that threatened their reputation. It was a threat to the image of the entire country as well.


    Suddenly, all the victims of this incident began to disclose their stories. They had their own social media ounts and blogs. Countless articles were published. Marketing ounts and numerous mediapanies continuously reposted and shared.


    The threat to theirpany’s reputation was followed by the exposure of Charlotte’s personal history.


    The fact that she was Shane’s girlfriend, the former chief designer of NC, and had once tried her best to save Jane Corporation.


    All of this had been disyed to the public.


    “Honestly, if people like this want to exploit their power, we can’t do anything about it anyways…” Someizens’ attitudes were very pessimistic.


    “It’s no fun for this kind of person to abuse their power. Isn’t she already privileged?”


    “I heard that they’ve already paid for thepensation a long time ago. Charlotte and Shane were in the car too.”


    A stone stirred up a thousand ripples.


    After hearing that Charlotte and Shane were also in the car, everyone investigated this matter like crazy.It was fine if they didn’t look into the details.Because when they did, they found out that a constructionpany was executing a project there during that time.A mistake urred during their operation while it was raining heavily, and that caused a mudslide.


    Besides, Charlotte and Shane had handled this matter very well in the beginning. They even set up a foundation for all the workers. It was also because of that that not long after thew was promulgated, the media was able to publish a big amount of news without even considering anything because many workers wanted to speak up for them after all.


    So, why would someone bring up a matter that had already been taken care of?


    Why did the only test paper with unprecedented, full marks in a heap of exam papers need to be criticized?Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    As they went on, the public finally discovered the truth.


    “They said that the constructionpany was investigated by the authorities because too many people died and got injured. The locals have been investigating it, so…” Peter looked at the information in his hands and didn’t know whether tough or cry. “They only wanted to use us as a shield.”


    It was indeed a good choice to use public opinion to hide the truth.


    However.


    Charlotte smiled nonchntly and said, “During that time, Mr. Fuller asked me a question. He asked me if I needed him to help me promote the foundation because I was the one who paid the money. At that time, I said, no, not even one word.”


    Upon hearing that, Peter sighed, “If it had been announced back then, perhaps all these wouldn’t have happened today.”


    “Peter, if someone wants to harm me, then he’ll have to take action sooner orter. Shouldn’t I try my best to hide my trump card and retaliate with all my strength when he makes his move?” Charlotte asked with a smile.


    Peter really didn’t think of the stakes in this situation. However, as soon as Charlotte exined it, he understood. He nodded repeatedly and answered, “Ms. Emerson, I understand now.”


    Charlotte flipped through the documents in front of her and checked the social media for a while.


    Now that she had made the final blow, there was nothing left for her to worry about.


    “Let the Public Rtions Department off duty. I’ll pay them overtime fees today except for those who left early,” said Charlotte.


    “Okay.”


    After Peter left, Charlotte finally dared to reveal the tiredness on her face.


    She leaned back in the chair, slightly closed her eyes, and allowed her hands to hang on both sides of the chair.


    “I’m so exhausted,” Charlotte said in her head.


    “You’re tired already?” Shane walked up to her side. His fingersnded on her shoulders, and his fingertips gently massaged her shoulder joints.


    It was sofortable.


    Charlotte looked up and shook her head at him. “It’s much more tiring than I thought. The pressure I had to carry waspletely different from before. Sometimes, I don’t even know why you can do such a high-intensity job.”


    “I’ve been like this since I was young.”


    “Since young… This is truly a terrifying phrase,” Charlotte sighed.


    If she had been like this since she was a child, she would rather dive into the Mustard River. Of course, she didn’t mean that she didn’t lead a hard life in the Emerson family when she was a child, but the strictness was mostly directed to the aspects of learning and hobby.


    Those things had a fixed road to follow.


    However, regarding the matter of starting apany, there were fixed roads too, undoubtedly. But if she followed them, she would have been close to bankruptcy. That was why she never dared to ck off.
