Angeline clenched her fist tightly. Whenever she thought of those videos and the things those demons had done to Henrietta… She wished they were all dead!
She refused to let Tommy off the hook after instigating the incident. She wanted nothing more than to shred him apart.
Angeline made her decision after weighing the options.
“I can write the letter if they’re prepared to speak the truth.”
Kevin nodded.
“Alright. I’ll discuss this with their parents now.”
“Thank you,” she replied.
Angeline went straight to the laboratory after she returned from the coffee shop. She couldn’t afford to be idle now. Her mind would be swarmed with the images of Henrietta being abused whenever she was unoccupied.
Angeline was the busiest person in the laboratory despite being pregnant. Knowing that she had something on her mind, everyone let her be. They assigned her tasks that challenged her intellect without exerting her physically.
Angeline heard Sean’s name when she left the laboratory to drink water. Her hand shook as she held the glass of water.
She looked over at Marion, who was talking excitedly.
“A month ago, Mr. Lawson, the CEO of Lawson Global, had an overwhelming presence when he negotiated with the foreigners.
“The authority he exuded when he returned from abroad to announce that he decided to participate in the independent research was even more overwhelming!” Marion exclaimed as she showed her phone to Reese.
Reese took a sip of water. He tilted his head to look at the screen.
“I heard a rumor that Mr. Lawson had brought the executives of Lawson Global to Marvonia as part of an act.
“It was all to ensure they could bring the microchips and lithography exerts back to the country.”
Returning to her senses, Angeline took a small sip of her water.
Over the last few days, the internet was flooded with the news that Sean had withdrawn from the microchips negotiation abroad.
Lawson Global had held an
emergency press conference to announce that the negotiation had failed. Their funds for research and
development would increase by 20 to 50% compared to the previous year.
UMS
Just the day before, Marvonia had announced that Lawson Global, its subsidiaries, and several collaborating corporations would be included in a stricter sanctions list.
After that, whether it was deliberate or not, a video of the internal meeting held in Lawson Global was leaked.
Sean’s speech discussed Lawson
Global’s aim to take the lead and
collaborate with domestic small and medium-sized enterprises in the
e
technological industry. They would conduet joint research to break through foreign restrictions on their country’s high-tech development and their monopoly on microchips.
His speech raised the public’s spirits.
Sean stood upright on the podium. His words ignited a wave of support for domestic products and businesses among the people.
“Every generation has their own mission. Our predecessors sacrificed their lives to keep us from hunger and war. Now, our generation’s battle is to revitalize our country’s technology!
“Our ancestors have paved the road

for us. It’s time for us to pave the road for the future. We should all forge ahead so that the future generation will not need to bow down and suffer humiliation to survive.”
The response was remarkably positive and uplifting following Marvonia’s announcement of stricter sanctions toward Lawson Global. Afterward, the video was circulated by the corporations that participated in the joint research with Lawson Global.
Consumed by her sorrow, Angeline had not paid much attention to the news in the past few days. She had poured all her energy into the experiments.
Angeline placed the cup down after having her fill of water. Putting on her mask and gloves, she headed back to the laboratory. Gregory brushed past Angeline. He wanted to greet her.
However, noticing that she wasn’t looking at him, he turned sideways and let her enter awkwardly.
As he drank his coffee, he scrolled through the messages on WhatsApp. Nearly all of them were from Ned.
