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

Chapter 329 Apologies

A few simple words of praise from the VIP made the banquet abuzz with clamoring 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 related 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 occasions. All the reporters who were familiar with the Wrights knew that they should go directly to Luna.

The reporter took a glance into his note to confirm something, then asked, "The first question. What's your comment 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 continued commenting, "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 dollars, 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 dollars.

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 dollar, then he might take the risk for a hundred dollars.

However, if a person already had one million dollars, why would he take the risk for another million?

"Susie, you don't have to explain 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 accepted 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 relationship with him.”

Luna’s sturdy stance stunned everyone.

The comment section on the internet 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 irrational netizens, the entire internet 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 angry netizens.

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, a comment got the attention of everybody.

When everybody thought it was a prank by another netizen, more followed its footsteps.

"Private Zared Lance from Squadron Alpha reporting..."

"Private Caesar Clayton from Squadron Charlie reporting..."

"Private Zach Tailor from Squadron Bravo reporting..."

One by one, the comments flooded the internet.

They emerged neatly one after another without even the slightest delay between the comments.

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 reports coming 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 internet was on fire, a group of strong men was sending out comments on their cellphones back a t the training center.

Suddenly, the door was opened with a slam 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 too late! I'm not blind!" The assistant coach claimed with a cold tone, "Surrender all your phones, then, give me ten laps!"

"Sir, we're at fault. However, we were only trying to show our support for the chief” Everyone tried to Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

please their coach with the explanation.

"No excuse, ten laps it is!" The assistant coach glared 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 a comment.

"HQ Corps Assistant Coach Donald Lacroix reporting..."

After sending out his comment, 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 the comment had been pushed up by the others.

At that moment, numerous netizens were showing their support for Oliver Wright, the contributions that he made, and the achievements that he had achieved. They had all been compiled and archived on the internet.

Oliver and the Wrights had never actively proclaimed 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, the netizens could not help but remain silent as they stared at the list of achievements.

After some time, the comment 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 occurred on the Internet, the reporter commented, "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?"
