Chapter 517 She Got Off Lightly

Under the prevailing circumstances, it was hardly surprising that public opinion overwhelmingly favored

Kallum.

Within the Fairchild family itself, the dissent was palpable. The fundamental objective for any commercial enterprise is, without question, the pursuit of profit. However, the project in question was not only exceedingly demanding but also riddled with potential hazards. Should it be poorly executed, it might well culminate in a scandal, offering no clear advantages. Consequently, a majority of the shareholders initially expressed their opposition.

They require no specific skills for this role; mere diligence and precision are enough. The compensation provided is ample for their sustenance, and they are quite content with the arrangement.”

He paused briefly before adding, “The twenty–odd women who were severely traumatized have been. entrusted to Mr. Sutton, who has expressed profound empathy and committed to providing them with counseling. As for what lies ahead for them, much will depend on their individual destinies.”
