Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom

Chapter 511

"Absolutely. The application of this technology puts our country at least a hundred years ahead of the rest of the world."

"A hundred years? That's an understatement. Give the rest of the world two hundred years and they still might not crack the secret of holographic technology."

Online forums were flooded with praise for Claire.

Some users even unearthed the story of how Marina had hired thugs to kidnap her.

"Seriously, has Marina lost her mind? She actually dared to kidnap a scientist?"

"Isn't she dating Orion? Why would she go after his sister?"

"Rumor has it she thought Claire was a romantic rival and tried to get her out of the picture. Turns out, it was all a misunderstanding—she kidnapped Orion's sister by mistake."

"This Marina is too much. How do you go around kidnapping people without even knowing the full story?"

"It's just a misunderstanding. As long as the Tempest family doesn't press charges, Marina should be fine."

"Claire's a scientist, though. It's not just up to the Tempest family to let it go."

And that was true. Even though Claire hadn't been physically harmed during the kidnapping, Marina, her assistant, and the hired criminals were each sentenced to ten years in prison-a remarkably heavy punishment.

None of this concerned Claire in the slightest.
