Chapter 329 Apologies
A few simple words of praise from the VIP made the banquet abuzz with moring discussion.
Everyone was familiar with Julian Shaw, but it was only when the VIP brought Jacob Shelby up that
the crowd realized his identity.
Susan’s brother was the developer of the SL system!
Susan was quite an amazing individual. Being one of the Wrights aside, the brother who was not
rted to her by blood was also such a prestigious personage.
After the signature and selfies, the VIP fulfilled all the little wishes of Susan. It was only then that he
left the banquet.
The atmosphere of the party became lively again as soon as he left the courtroom.
After all, the VIP''s aura was too overwhelming so the reporters didn''t dare ask any questions while
he was there.
All the reporters were itching to have a go at it so Luna announced with a grin, "Friends from the
press, you now have the opportunity to ask three questions." ''Only three?''
Now, everybody would not dare to slight them any longer.
The reporters gathered together and had a discussion before one of them was selected to ask the
three questions.
"Good day, Mrs. Wright. On behalf of everyone, I’ll be asking three questions regarding all the
turmoil caused by the public''s opinions over these past few days,” the reporter started the session
politely.
The appearance of the VIP had proven to be too much. How could he not be modest with the
questions?
"Alright." Luna responded with a smile.
George had always been just a mascot on such asions. All the reporters who were familiar with
the Wrights knew that they should go directly to Luna.
The reporter took a nce into his note to confirm something, then asked, "The first question.
What''s yourment on General Oliver Wright''s imprisonment?”
Luna looked calm and steady. "Oliver is my son, and I know him all too well. He wouldn''t have done
such things."
Luna touched on the issue lightly, but Susan continuedmenting, "Let''s set aside the fact that
the Wrights have been unyieldingly righteous all these years and have never been involved in such
incidents. I''d also love to add that I''ve just reunited with the Wrights at that time. It''s just five million
dors, was it worth his risk?"
Everybody was astounded when Susan said so.
They recalled the list of out-of-this-world opulent gifts that Julian presented to the Wrights just a few
days earlier.
A single car from that list would already cost more than five million dors.
There was absolutely no need for Oliver to risk himself when the sister was this rich. It just didn''t
make any sense.
For example, if a person only had one dor, then he might take the risk for a hundred dors.
However, if a person already had one million dors, why would he take the risk for another million?
"Susie, you don''t have to exin everything." Luna spoke softly, "When the Wrights act, we only
adhere to one principle, that is to have a clear conscience. We took in everything that Susan gave
us with a clean conscience. We''ll only be guilty if we''ve epted money from other parties. Let’s
just put it out there. If the results of the investigations show that Oliver did cross the line, I''ll sever
my rtionship with him.”
Luna’s sturdy stance stunned everyone.
Thement section on the inte stopped for an instant.
Then a barrage went off.
"I believe in Mrs. Wright! I believe in the Wrights!"
"I can only say that when the disaster happened here, Oliver Wright was the one who personally
dug me out of the soil."
"And also, I..."
Over the years, Oliver had made countless contributions, no matter the size.
Driven by the plotter behind the scenes and irrationalizens, the entire inte was full of voices
that were denouncing him previously.
Rational voices emerged from time to time, but they were often drowned immediately by waves of
angryizens.
However, everyone has calmed down.
So when these voices came out once again, they were seen by more people. This time around, the
voices in favor of Oliver prevailed.
"Private Yale Felix from Squadron Alpha reporting, I guarantee with my life that General Wright
would never do such a thing."
All of a sudden, ament got the attention of everybody.
When everybody thought it was a prank by anotherizen, more followed its footsteps.
"Private Zared Lance from Squadron Alpha reporting..."
"Private Caesar yton from Squadron Charlie reporting..."
"Private Zach Tailor from Squadron Bravo reporting..."
One by one, thements flooded the inte.
They emerged neatly one after another without even the slightest dy between thements.
The cybercitizens were all shocked. ''Is this... is this real?’
''Oliver Wright was the chief coach of all the squadrons. Were those who came out to support him all
his men?''
Staring at the reportsing in, everybody''s blood pressure rose without any scientific reason.
Could Oliver Wright, who was trusted by so many men with their lives, be the kind of person
mentioned in the previous news reports?
Whilst the inte was on fire, a group of strong men was sending outments on their
cellphones back a t the training center.
Suddenly, the door was opened with a m and a man with a stiff stance appeared at their
doorstep.
"Assistant... assistant coach!" The group of soldiers panicked and wanted to hide their phones.
"Why try? It''s already toote! I''m not blind!" The assistant coach imed with a cold tone,
"Surrender all your phones, then, give me tenps!"
"Sir, we''re at fault. However, we were only trying to show our support for the chief” Everyone tried to
please their coach with the exnation.
"No excuse, tenps it is!" The assistant coach red a t them.
The herd sighed and surrendered their phone to the assistant coach. Then, they began their
punishment.
The assistant coach picked up one of the phones and looked at the live broadcast along with the
comments the trainees posted.
He couldn''t help but chuckle. "Brats, you actually have the guts to sneak your phones out! If it
weren’t for me turning a blind eye to your doings, you wouldn’t stand a chance."
The assistant coach smirked disdainfully as he took out his cellphone and posted ament.
"HQ Corps Assistant Coach Donald Lacroix reporting..."
After sending out hisment, he looked around like a thief and put his phone away.
He could''t afford to let the brats see him with his childish move.
Good, it’s great that thement had been pushed up by the others.
At that moment, numerousizens were showing their support for Oliver Wright, the contributions
that he made, and the achievements that he had achieved. They had all beenpiled and
archived on the inte.
Oliver and the Wrights had never actively proimed all the things that he had done. When he was
under the barrage from the online saboteurs, his contributions were totally forgotten by the
audience.

However, now that all this history had been dug out by the people, theizens could not help but
remain silent as they stared at the list of achievements.
After some time, thement section was filled with apologies.
"I joined the bandwagon and condemned him, I''m sorry."
"Me too. The unscrupulous media misled me. I''m sorry."
As the voice of apologies stacked up, the news regarding the apologies to Oliver topped the
trending list for all the search engines.
Without knowing of the changes that had urred on the Inte, the reportermented, "I
believe that Oliver is innocent, so let’s wait for the final result of the investigation. Now let’s move on
to the second question. Before this, when Julian Shaw and Susan Shelby came to the Wrights
bearing gifts, why didn’t you step up and provide us with a statement immediately despite seeing
the media covering the incident?"
