Chapter 811
Barbara thought of something before getting into the car, turned her head, and asserted herself to the camera. “I
don’t know what moral high ground you people think you’re standing on when you’re pointing your fingers at me. I
seemingly look like the victim of this incident, don’t I? Sure enough, the person who would have died back then
would be me if I hadn’t resisted and fought back. I’ve done nothing wrong when all I did was fight for my life. I don’t
need your sympathy, but at the same time, I won’t allow you people to slander me.”
Barbara Chase Accepted the Salvadores’ Appeal# appeared on every single trending article list on the Internet, and
all photos of the scene were posted on the Internet by
reporters.
This time around, two groups of netizens with different points of view were formed on the Internet, and they
debated and quarreled. Most women spoke up for Barbara and also argued against the comments that some
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtnetizens posted, saying that “that’s the outcome
that those women deserve if they are the ones who seduced the men at first”. As a result, an article and poll titled
# Should Women Resist When They Are Being Violated?# was posted on the Internet, and it had collected tens of
millions of surveys, comments, and likes.
At noon, Soul Jewelry took the lead to speak up for Barbara.
#Barbara Chase has Soul Jewelry’s full support, a cassation appeal of her verdict is unacceptable.# Soul Jewelry’s
decision to stand up and show its support for Barbara at this juncture left everyone astonished.
After all, it was not advisable for companies to get themselves involved in such controversial topics as much as
possible, but Soul Jewelry spoke out for Barbara. Soon, in addition to Soul Jewelry, the Blackgold Group responded
to the topic too. Nolan even liked the post #Should Women Resist When They Are Being Violated?#. Helios also
picked Barbara’s side as the only popular artist in the entertainment industry who forwarded the article. #What Ms.
Barbara Chase deserves is justice instead of a crusade against her.# was the title of his post. At Royal Crown
Entertainment Co… “Helios Boucher, have you lost your mind!? You actually reposted this article? Aren’t you afraid
of netizens shredding you into pieces!?” Morgan broke into Helios’ office and dashed up to his desk lividly. “What the
hell were you thinking when you decided to join in the fun?” Helios scrolled through his Twitter feed without even
lifting his eyelids. “I don’t think I’m joining in the fun. I’m just doing what I think 1 need to do.”
“What do you think you need to do?” Morgan was so furious that he was about to have a heart attack. He said
earnestly, * Helios, you’re an actor, and you have no idea just how influential you are. The matter related to the
daughter of the Chases isn’t something that you should take part in. If this matter were to come back to haunt you
in the end, what would the public think of you?”
“I won’t be the one who will be affected even if the matter backfires.” Helios placed the tablet on the desk. “If
Barbara Chase is truly a murderer, she wouldn’t have accepted the appeal.” Morgan was astounded and stood with
his arms akimbo. “Helios, just don’t blame me for not reminding you when things go south. Are you really not afraid
of the risk?”

Helios got up, walked to the French window, and looked out at the scenery outside the window. He then turned to
look at Morgan after a while. “If it’s wrong for a woman to resist when being violated, then the world should be the
thing that’s gone really wrong.”
Morgan was flustered.
Helios leaned languidly against the wall, with his back facing the window. His facial features were blackened by the
sun that shone in through the window. “As a public figure, shouldn’t I speak up for such issues?” Sure enough, after
Helios spoke up for Barbara on the Internet, Helios’ fans started supporting their idol and were willing to wait for the
result of the appeal. At the same time, some of the fans were worried about Helios and were afraid that Helios
would be implicated. And the application for an appeal submitted by Barbara was heard by the court on the third
day. Barbara took the lawyer into the courtroom, and she saw Maisie and Ryleigh in the public gallery while Ryleigh
waved to her and cheered her on.
The Salvadores sat on the plaintiff’s seat, and they had hired a lawyer too. The lawyer then reiterated the
Salvadores’ words to the judge . “The defendant, Ms. Chase, caused the death of the aggressor due to excessive
self-defense, so she should be sentenced to imprisonment for not less than three years and not more than seven
years. An acquittal is unreasonable, and the plaintiff suspects that there was a misjudgment in the trial back then.”
