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 netizens 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.”
