After knowing that Olive had already completed 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 the company. Charlotte tried to ask him out a few times, but she didn't receive any reply.
The only good news was that the launch was a huge success. Charlotte led the company to receive Round A of investment, excluding Shane's, which made the whole company's size doubled. After all, they worked in a traditional industry and couldn't compare with the media industry. Although they didn't earn much, they created a huge impact.
At that moment, the case of the workers' car accident was suddenly exposed. There were all kinds of news across the Internet 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 media companies had reported the causes and consequences of the accident, 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 popularity that they desired. Therefore, if any media was willing to issue a clarification, it implied that this company was the enemy of other media companies.
In a situation like this, they would definitely gain more attention by watching than helping.
"Let's wait a little longer." Charlotte looked at the comments on the Internet. 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 related to workplace accidents. I'm waiting for the order to be declared."
This decree was actually very simple. Once an accident 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 no compensation given or reparation paid from the very beginning.
In other words.
If anyone were still discussing that topic on the Internet after the decree was announced, they would be suspected of violating the law. Because she had already completed the compensation for the accident, and the workers and their families had also accepted it.
Upon hearing that, Peter immediately went to search for information. He obtained comprehensive 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 hours later.
The new decree was declared, and the incident from Charlotte's company 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 speculations appeared, even if Charlotte didn't go to the company 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 accounts and blogs. Countless articles were published. Marketing accounts and numerous media companies continuously reposted and shared.
The threat to their company'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 displayed to the public.
