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 Inte.


    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 thepany 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, manyizens began to look into who Jane was.


    Information on Jane‘s background quickly spread like wildfire.


    She graduated from a popr 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 nted a hypnosis program in the smart systems that the


    company made, seriouslypromising 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.


    Manyizens hoped that Zhester Technology would give an exnation 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.


    At the same time, there were manyments 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 ndered like this."


    "Is there something wrong with the person who posted this? Zhester Technology is such a big


    company.Why would a hugely sessfulpany 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 manyizens were very emotional and angry.


    Soon, thements 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‘te home either.


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


    If the discussion continued until dawn, there would be more people online, and the number ofizens


    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 Inte 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 happenter.


    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 toe


    homest 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 nightst 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 dy


    my work at any time.


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


    Netizens were discussing the products of Zhester Technology.


    Bloggers who were in the smart technology niche were analyzing the possibility and ethics of


    manipting people‘s emotions with smart equipment.


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


    Lucyter 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 nce 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.
