The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 330

The question was a little tricky, and a hint of sorrow flashed through Luna's eyes as she sighed. She then continued, "Ever since Ollie was imprisoned, the Wright family had suffered too much criticism. I truly can’t understand the comments we saw online. The case lacked evidence and the investigations were still ongoing. However, the public had already crucified him on the pillar of shame. Over the past few days, I was told that there was insufficient evidence in Oliver’s case, and that he'd be released very soon.

Guess what? The first emotion that came to me was fear."

Shortage of evidence. Was this reason sufficient to stop the public opinion from wronging her son? Ollie was such an honorable but stubbornly principled person. If he were to get to know how everyone spoke of him, how would he feel?

Luna gave off a wry smile. "When it started, the public opinion only focused on Oliver but after Susan came over to visit me, more opinions began to target the entire Wright family. We failed to understand this part. How could public opinion escalate so swiftly and unreasonably? This banquet was originally planned as a medium to announce the fact that Susan is my daughter. However, it had another mission to accomplish ever since Ollie’s incident. Since our banquet’s date was fixed ahead of time so our honorable guest could make it on this day, we couldn't bring it forward so we could only wait until today to make a statement on Oliver's case. Secondly..."

Luna glared at George Wright and sighed faintly, "My stubborn husband is to be blamed as well. He insisted that there was no need to explain, saying that the Wrights had always come clean with the public. He had faith that the people he and Oliver have been risking life and limb to protect all these years would definitely believe in them. But..."

Luna did not continue her statement. George's expression was gloomy, and he seemed truly sad.

Although he knew that the matter would be resolved eventually, he was still a little depressed after being accused by thousands of people over the past few days.

George’s melancholic expression seemed to have hit the public’s heart.

Seeing that, everyone in the lobby and on the Internet went silent.

They suddenly realized that the country's former guardian, the paladin of the people, had grown old.

In his life, he had experienced a great number of ups and downs. He had also gone through times of brilliance and desolation. However, all the difficulties had failed to knock him down.

He had wandered countless times on the edge of life and death but never had he frowned.

This time, the unreasonable accusations from his favorite people almost got to him.

For some reason, some people started getting a weird soreness in their eyes and some even had tears welling up.

They truly knew that they had made a mistake.

Could Marshal Wright not feel disappointed in them?

The atmosphere of the banquet was deadly silent.

Then, a shrill voice pierced through the silence and said, "If that’s so, Mrs. Wright, are you implying that you resent the netizens?"

Luna glared in the direction of the voice with her keen eye and saw a reporter in the back row looking at her fearlessly. The sign on the reporter's chest indicated that he was from the Sunrise Bulletin.

"Madam, the Wrights didn't explain themselves and now, you're going to point fingers at the netizens?

Aren't you going overboard with this statement?" the reporter continued.

Luna gave him a loaded look, and smiled gently. "I never blamed the cybercitizens. On the contrary, I think they're victims just like us."

"Victims?" The malicious reporter was stunned.
