Chapter 377 Finnegan Was Set Up
Tate quickly took Ophelia to the hospital and informed the Abbott Family estate. Knowing about the incident, Celia and Jude rushed to the hospital.
Ophelia had been settled in the hospital, receiving an IV to protect the pregnancy. It was only minor bleeding, but they couldn't afford to be careless.
After learning the situation from the doctor, Celia was a bit scared. She held Ophelia's hand and said, "Just lie down and rest. Don't move around. Your task now is to take good care of yourself and deliver the baby safely."
Celia was very concerned about Ophelia's pregnancy.
"Finnegan is in trouble, and I'm worried." Ophelia said anxiously, looking at Jude. "Have you called over to France? How is Finnegan?"
"Ophelia, don't worry. I called, and it's not a big deal." Jude said, downplaying the situation. "Finnegan wouldn't do such a thing. It must be a rumor. Once it's clarified, everything will be fine."
"Of course, I don't believe Finnegan would do such a thing." Ophelia said. Her first reaction upon seeing the news was that it couldn't be true. She trusted Finnegan.
The news featured a pixelated video of Mary crying and accusing Finnegan of doing unspeakable things to her, claiming she was forced.
Now, eighty percent of the netizens don't believe it. 'Given Finnegan's wealth and looks, why would he need to force anyone?' They thought.
He didn't need to force anyone.
Moreover, even with the pixelation, it was clear that Mary had a surgically altered face. Apart from her impressive figure, she had no outstanding features.
Netizens declared that this a setup, claiming France was trying to frame Abbott's Corporation to suppress it and take over the domestic market. Others speculated it was an internal strife among Abbott's Corporation's top management.
Netizens had already concocted a grand conspiracy episode, elevating it to an international issue.
Some netizens thought it might be true and expressed their opinions online.
[I think Mary's crying seemed genuine. It might be true.]
[The boss of Abbott's Corporation has always portrayed himself as a loving husband. His wife is pregnant, and the rate of men cheating during pregnancy is high.]
[Men who cheat while their wives are pregnant are just awful.]
[Everyone should be rational. We can't blame the victim.]
[Maybe the boss of Abbott's Corporation didn't pay her enough after having sex with her.]
[To be honest, Mary is quite lucky to sleep with Finnegan.]
Ophelia forced herself to read these comments to understand the full picture.
Atticus called from France and explained the situation to Ophelia. "Ophelia, this is a setup. Finnegan was drunk, and Mary helped him back to his room. I was sent away. Mary had been flirting with Finnegan the whole evening, but he ignored her. When I returned, the police were already there. Mary had called them, accusing Finnegan. The laws here are strict. As long as Mary doesn't retract her statement, Finnegan will continue being framed. Now that the news has spread back home, it will definitely have a huge negative impact on the company."
Atticus was also worried.
Ophelia asked, "Have you seen Finnegan? Is he okay?"
Finnegan had never suffered like this before. Ophelia's intuition told her that Mary couldn't have done this alone. 'Someone else must be behind it.' She thought.
Atticus said, "I saw him once. Finnegan is okay. I'm planning to talk to Mary again. Don't worry, Ophelia. We'll try to come back this month."
Atticus said this to comfort Ophelia. Even if Finnegan were released on bail, the local police would restrict him, and he wouldn't be able to return home for now.
No matter how wealthy you are, a single law can trap you in such a situation.
If someone wants to harm you, it becomes serious. Otherwise, it wouldn't escalate to this extent.
Celia, listening to the phone call, anxiously interjected, "Does Mary want money? Just give her whatever she wants. I've seen many women like her. They just want money. Let's get Finnegan back as soon as possible."
Ophelia frowned. If they settled with money, Finnegan's suspicion wouldn't be cleared. But the urgent task now was to get Finnegan out quickly.
In just a few hours, the online public opinion had already affected the company. Linda and the PR team were working overtime to handle the situation.
