Bye, My Irresistible Love

Chapter 678: George’s Love 

Helen’s POV:

I didn‘t expect George to cover up for Jane‘s selfish behavior, even though it was for the sake of Zhester Technology.He permitted the PR people to slander me and deliberately lead public opinion, allowing the netizens to discredit and insult me.

So were Zhester Technology and Jane always more important to him than me? That was the only thought that ran through my mind as I drove home.

The more concretely this thought settled in my mind, the more furious I became.

Before I could go to confront George, he called me first and asked in an unfriendly tone, "Helen, where are you? Why aren‘t you at home?"

"It‘s none of your damn business!" I replied angrily.

How dare he address me so harshly? I was already as angry as hell.

Now hearing his cold monotone, I felt fury rising in me, like unwatched milk boiling over on a hot stove.

Sensing I was angry, he laughed instead and softened his tone.He even teased, "Did you run away from our home?"

Although he was asking, he had a definitive answer.He had probably guessed that I had returned to my own apartment.

"Never you mind!"

I hung up the phone angrily, parked the car in the garage downstairs, and went up to my apartment.I was a workaholic.

Even when I got home, I just continued working.I entered my room and got busy on my laptop.Soon I forgot all about George.

Half an hour later, I heard the doorbell ring.

Then, the key in the lock was turned and the door was slowly pushed open.

Light footsteps could be heard coming from the living room.

Had George used his key and come in? I put down my laptop and heatedly walked to the living room.I wanted to question him if he condoned what the public relations department of his company had done.I also wanted to protest about the injustice that had been meted out to me.

But the moment I saw him, all my anger magically dissolved and I just kept quiet.It seemed that this man had just taken a shower and changed into fresh clothes before heading here.

The tiredness on his face told a long story.

George looked as if he had aged overnight.His eyes were bloodshot and a stubble had grown on his chin.He looked as if he had not rested properly in a while.He walked up to me slowly, hugged me with his long arms, and rubbed his cheek intimately against mine.

"Let me sleep first."

Then, without my permission, he went straight to my room and lay down on the bed.I reckon he fell asleep before his head hit the pillow.

Soon, he was in slumber land, resting peacefully.His breathing came light and easy.It was obvious that he was dog tired.

Looking at his calm, sleeping face, I restrained my anger and grievance, unable to utter a word.I sighed and covered him with a thin blanket.

Maybe it was because he was so tired that he lay on the bed motionless in deep sleep.I was a little sleepy too.

But the spare bedroom had been unattended for a while and was dusty, and since I had no inclination to clean it up now, 1 lay down beside George.

As soon as I lay down, the man who had been sleeping soundly suddenly held me tightly in his arms like he did every time we shared a bed.

Even though he was supposedly asleep, he was still as domineering as always.I struggled with all my might to break free from his grip, to no avail.

Finally, I stopped resisting and sank into his arms.

Inhaling his familiar scent, I soon fell asleep. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

When I woke up in the morning, George‘s side of the bed was empty.I had no idea when George had left my apartment.

Breakfast was on the table, and there were two messages from him on the phone.

"Sorry I‘ve been very busy recently.I‘ll come pick you up and go back to our home after I finish my work."

"Eat well.You are too thin.It feels like I‘m hugging a bag of bones."

The last message left me speechless.

Was this the time to focus on my weight? I put away my phone and had my breakfast.

Then I drove to Fantail Entertainment to continue with my work.

Both George and I, being very busy with our work, rarely contacted each other from that day on.

George didn‘t say anything, but at the end of the day, I was the one who had placed Zhester Technology in the middle of the tornado.I was busily engaged with the due diligence of Fantail Entertainment while simultaneously dealing with the lawsuit against Jane.

Anya and Phil were in full charge of my case.

They had a wealth of experience.I prided myself on their professional ability and trusted them to deal with my case.

Anya and Phil called me to the office one day.

"Our only concern now is the attitude of Zhester Technology towards Jane.

Even if Zhester Technology knew what Jane had done, to protect the image and reputation of the company, they would definitely take Jane‘s side, because they have common interests.

If that‘s the case, they will hire the most powerful team of lawyers to defend Jane.

And then your evidence might be too thin."

Anya and Phil‘s analysis made sense.

This case was not only a confrontation between Jane and me, but also me against Zhester Technology.It was a whole new dynamic.

That was why Jane had bragged something like "We can‘t say who will be destroyed in the end."

"Helen, don‘t worry too much.We thought we‘d just need to make you aware of that possibility.Anya and I will try our best to help you."

Phil tried hard to comfort me.

"Thank you so much."

With Anya and Phil standing up for me, I felt relieved.

When the lawsuit was in full swing, Lucy helped me on the Internet.

As soon as she saw the posts that denigrated me, she would use her account with millions of fans to fight back.

In order to help me, Lucy, my best friend, completely cast caution to the wind.

Lucy had never lost to anyone in this respect.

Many online haters were castigated by her and didn‘t dare to retaliate.

Now public opinion on the Internet was divided into two factions.

On the one hand, I had supporters who believed in me and motivated me to fight for justice.

Among these people, there were competitors of Zhester Technology, who wanted to see their rival ruined.

I was sure they had paid people to post hate comments.

On the other hand, many firmly believed that I made up the whole story.

In their opinion, there was no need for Zhester Technology, or Jane, to ruin their future and reputation by dealing with a nobody like me.

As the situation escalated, the netizens were no longer overwhelmingly criticizing Zhester Technology as before.

So the stock price of Zhester Technology began to rise again.

When this matter gradually disappeared from the public view and people lost interest in the matter, Zhester Technology suddenly issued an official statement.

"With the help of the relevant departments, the investigation in the past week has confirmed that the problems revealed by the netizen named Flying with Wind really existed.It was Jane Campbell, the chief technology director of our company, who inserted the hypnosis program into the said netizen‘s system.Upon investigation, it was revealed that her action was against the individual netizen due to a personal feud.No other users or products were affected.Our company policy will never allow anyone to abuse his or her position and power to seek personal revenge, or hurt customers with the help of our products.Subsequently, we have handed Jane Campbell over to the police, and we will also cooperate with the following investigation.It is our promise to keep providing the safest and the best service for our customers.We hope you continue to trust Zhester Technology."

This was the second time that Zhester Technology had issued a statement, which was concise, yet contained a lot of information.I was shocked beyond my wildest dream when I read the official statement.

Even Anya and Phil looked at the statement in shock and couldn‘t believe it was true.

"Why didn‘t Zhester Technology protect Jane?"

The netizens were all confused about what Zhester Technology had done.

"How can Zhester Technology admit their mistake so easily?"

"Is Zhester Technology serious? It‘s hard for them to finally get out of the public eye.They should have just put it behind them.With time, everyone will just forget about it."

Anya breathed a sigh of relief and began to praise George, "He is an entrepreneur with a conscience.He took responsibility for making a mistake.It takes a big man to do what he did.The statement issued by Zhester Technology seemed to admit its mistake, but it had a very positive impact.It will make the users trust the company again and rebuild their confidence.George did a great job."

George‘s image was boosted among the netizens again.He had won their hearts with his honesty.The Internet was flooded with compliments for Zhester Technology.

They were praised for upholding the truth.

People all believed that an enterprise that always put the interests of their customers first was trustworthy.

The crisis of Zhester Technology was temporarily resolved.

That was a huge relief.I could feel George’s unadulterated love from that statement.

With the release of this official statement in the public domain, no matter whether Jane won the case or not, she couldn‘t escape the fate of losing her reputation.

No matter how professional she was and how polished her resume was, her image was tarnished.

After being fired, it would be difficult for Jane to regain her foothold in the industry.

After work, I was hesitating if I should call George, but surprisingly, he called me first.
