Chapter 73
Even many celebrities retweeted it. They claimed that the victim was Innocent and not to let the spread of the video become a secondary violence against the victim.
More and more people were speaking out online, demanding severe punishment for the bullies and those who spread the video. They appealed for the protection of the victim’s family and resistance to the leakage of the videos.
Audrey worried about the spread of Harper’s videos at first. After all, it was the reason which caused Harper to commit suicide.
Harper wouldn’t be able to rest in peace if the video of her being humiliated and tortured spread on the internet. Unexpectedly, besides her, countless people on the Internet protected Harper.
She bit her lips and sobbed. Azure sat beside the bed and looked at her with tears. “Many people are protecting Harper!”
She finally couldn’t control herself and cried out loud.
As Harper had jumped off the building, Cloudmill Junior High School issued an emergency statement. It became a hot topic on the internet.
Charles didn’t expect the matter to become like this. He anxiously browsed through the comments on
the internet, canceled all his appointments, and dared not go out.
Recalling Audrey’s recording with the Yeomanses exposed on the “Looking For Family” program, he suspected she might also have a recording of the call with him.

She looked surprised and turned around at a loss. Just as she was about to call someone, she saw that Charles had already put on his coat and came downstairs.
“Charles Murray, we’re from the City Police Department. We require you to assist in the investigation.
The police showed their police ID again.
He nodded. “Okay!”
Then, he told the nanny, “Maria, I want to eat fried chicken tonight. Prepare it for me!”
“Oh! Okay!” She nodded repeatedly.
Nathan was visiting the crew, waiting for Amelia to finish filming. He walked to a remote area sullenly and called Edmond Marshman from the Franklin Group Legal Department to go to the police department.
“Contact Max Fraley’s parents. Tell them to stop their kid from talking norisense, or they’ll bear the consequences! I can give them money as long as they don’t mention Charles.”
