Chapter 262 Go See the Person You Have Been Thinking About
Lyle didn't manage to escape and was taken away by the police just like that.
That afternoon, a neighbor from Lyle's apartment complex posted a video online to tell everyone.
[Lyle has been arrested by the police. I saw him get into the police car with my own eyes this morning. He's definitely going to jail this time!]
[The Emerald City police force is really something - their efficiency is top-notch!]
[He totally deserves it, that scumbag! He caused his own wife and child's death and tried to smear Rodolfo's name. He really should rot in hell.]
[I have a question though. This scumbag only cheated on his wife, and she basically committed suicide. As for smearing Rodolfo, the Johnson Group did most of the work, so what is Lyle mainly responsible for?]
This reminder made other netizens realize this point too.
[Given Lyle's situation, the mess he caused wasn't that huge. He'll probably just get a warning, not enough to actually go to jail, right?]
[Even if he does get sentenced, it won't be for long.]
[Damn, doesn't that mean this guy is getting off easy?]
[Are there any legal experts who can explain this?]
When netizens thought about how Lyle might not have to go to jail and could be out soon, they all felt angry.
[How does scum like Lyle deserve to live?]
While the internet was in an uproar over this, Olivia had already stopped paying attention.
She hadn't gone home all night and was physically exhausted.
After the nanny's video was posted online, she rushed home to see Rodolfo without stopping.
When she entered, she wasn't surprised to see Rodolfo watching that video circulating online.
It looked like he had been playing it on loop several times.
Olivia clearly noticed that Rodolfo's eyes were red.
His face, which had just regained some color, seemed to have aged several years overnight.
Rodolfo just sat in the courtyard, holding his tablet, watching that video segment, silent for a very long time.
Seeing him not saying a word, Olivia was very worried.
She was afraid that if Rodolfo continued like this, he would have emotional problems.
Simon watched this scene and couldn't help but sigh.
But he knew that in this situation, it was hard to offer comfort.
Ruby's death had undoubtedly made Rodolfo sad.
That final apology before her suicide was like twisting a knife in Rodolfo's heart.
Simon told Olivia, "In the first few years after Ms. Hill left, Mr. McCoy was sad and upset every day. He hated her too.
But later, when Mr. McCoy's parents passed away, it helped him gradually come to terms with things a bit.
He eventually figured it out himself.
Actually, just like netizens said, if Ms. Hill had come back to find him back then, Mr. McCoy would definitely have taken her in.
No matter what, she wouldn't have ended up dead."
Olivia understood what Simon meant.
However, she also said, "Ruby felt guilty. Even if she had come back to find Mr. McCoy then, living would have been very painful for her, right?"
Simon couldn't argue with that.
Olivia didn't want to judge Ruby as a person anymore.
She was hateful, but at the end of the day, she was also pitiful.
Besides, she had been dead for many years. Whatever grudges the elders had should have dissipated by now.
Right now, she only hoped that Rodolfo would be okay.
However, her hopes didn't help much.
Rodolfo still fell ill from excessive grief.
And he was sick for more than half a month.
During this time, the police issued another announcement that shocked everyone, this one about Lyle.
[Previously, after Lyle slandered Rodolfo, someone secretly submitted some evidence of Lyle's crimes to the police. After the police took it seriously and investigated everything, they are now officially making a public announcement.
Lyle had used his position for personal gain, under the guise of charity, to access various welfare homes and children's homes over many years, committing numerous heinous crimes there.
We cannot disclose too many details, but Lyle's behavior was simply outrageous.
At the same time, while working as a professor abroad, under the pretext of mentoring students, he sexually assaulted multiple female students, using his reputation as leverage. This led to several female students committing suicide, which he falsely claimed was due to excessive stress.
Lyle used clever methods to successfully exonerate himself.
Additionally, Lyle was involved in multiple cases of commercial competition, maliciously stealing formulas from various companies to gain countless benefits for his own company.
Finally, it was confirmed that Lyle had faked his academic credentials, and multiple papers he published abroad were plagiarized, among many other crimes.
Now, all evidence is conclusive, and Lyle has confessed to everything.
Next, the police will handle Lyle's multiple crimes according to law.]
When this announcement came out, the entire internet was in an uproar.
[Oh my god, what did I say back then? I said this old bastard probably did these things himself!]
[What does that mean? And they mentioned orphanages and such. I have a bad feeling - could he have done things to young children...]
[This bastard, how could he bring himself to do it?]
[This is so scary.]
[Now that you mention it, I suddenly remember something. Many days ago in the morning, a reporter posted news about a girl from a welfare home being harmed. At the time, the person who posted the news said it was related to Medica Vitae Sect.
I'm also in journalism, and I noticed the buzz seemed off at the time. Could that have also been groundwork to smear Rodolfo?]
[If that's the case, this person is really terrifying, trying to pin everything he did on Rodolfo?]
[Rodolfo really has the worst luck, running into someone like this!]
[Why doesn't this Lyle just die?]
[This matter absolutely cannot be let go!]
After everyone online was shocked, they were filled with righteous anger and cursed Lyle.
At the same time, they demanded that relevant authorities punish everyone involved.
Right after the police announcement came out, the authorities also officially responded regarding Rodolfo's situation.
[After investigation by relevant authorities, Rodolfo has never committed any of the crimes mentioned in the rumors. Everything was fabricated and framed by people with ulterior motives.
Rodolfo is righteous and has made outstanding contributions to domestic charitable causes for most of his life.
According to statistics, over the years, patients treated for free by Medica Vitae Sect, and orphanages aided without compensation, number in the dozens nationwide. Children with congenital diseases who have been helped number in the thousands.
His acts of helping the poor and needy are countless!
This time, everyone involved in smearing him has been arrested.
This includes Lyle's assistant, the former chairman of the Brown Group - Terrence, and his assistant.
In addition, a media company under the Johnson Group has been ordered to stop operations and undergo rectification for malicious promotion. Regarding the damage to Rodolfo's reputation, Medica Vitae Sect will pursue this to the end!
Rodolfo's medical skills and Medica Vitae Sect are treasures of the people and deserve everyone's respect!
Rumors stop with wise people. We hope everyone can be more peaceful when viewing things in the future!]
After this announcement came out, all negative comments about Rodolfo were completely withdrawn.
Many people online were apologizing to Rodolfo.
[I'm sorry, I'm guilty. I followed the crowd and cursed Rodolfo.]
[Sure enough, some things online can't be trusted. I apologize to Rodolfo for some of my inappropriate comments before.]
[This is the first time I feel stupid. I sincerely apologize to Rodolfo.]
[A bunch of mindless followers don't deserve forgiveness!]
Some who heard that Rodolfo was sick were all praying for his early recovery!
[Mr. Rodolfo is righteous. May Mr. Rodolfo recover soon and live the rest of his life without disaster or illness.]
Many people echoed this sentiment, and the comment section was flooded with it.
Rodolfo was sick for half a month, but under Simon and Olivia's careful care, he did recover.
When he woke up, he had lost a lot of weight.
Olivia spent another half month helping him recuperate.
However, age had caught up with him after all.
Plus, Ruby's situation had a huge impact on him, so his vitality was somewhat affected.
In the afternoon, representatives from Harmony City came to visit Rodolfo, including people from the research institute, Christopher, and Nathan and others from Emerald City.
When they came, they brought generous gifts and supplements.
After some concerned greetings, they brought up the main business.
"Mr. McCoy, we came this time to talk to you about taking up the position in Harmony City."
Rodolfo asked, "Are you replacing me?"
The people from the research institute quickly waved their hands, "No, not at all! You've always been the project leader. The higher-ups have never thought about replacing you!"
Rodolfo understood, "So you want me to take up the position quickly?"
Hearing this, Olivia disagreed.
Although according to the original plan, Rodolfo should have left at the end of last month.
But because of his illness and recuperation, it had been delayed by more than a month.
But he still wasn't fully recovered yet.
She wasn't comfortable letting him go like this.
So Olivia quickly said, "Can we have a bit more time? Mr. McCoy suffered a major blow this time. If he doesn't recover properly, I'm afraid he won't be able to handle such a heavy workload!
That would actually slow down progress!"
Christopher quickly smiled and said, "Dr. Garcia, don't worry. We're not here to rush him. After what Mr. McCoy went through with the news incident, the authorities have no intention of forcing him.
We just want to ask if he needs anything. If so, we'll fully support him and give him plenty of time to recuperate.
Whenever he's better, he can come over then!"
"I see!" Olivia immediately felt relieved.
Rodolfo looked at her like this, smiled and patted her hand, saying, "This girl just loves to worry. Don't take it to heart, everyone. However, my current condition does indeed need more recuperation. Please give me another ten days.
In ten days, I will definitely report to Harmony City."
"That's perfectly fine." Christopher and the research institute leaders nodded repeatedly.
After the matter was settled, they didn't disturb him too much and soon took their leave.
Before leaving, they only said, "Mr. McCoy, then we'll be waiting for you in Harmony City."
Olivia personally saw them out.
When she came back, she asked Rodolfo, "Is ten days enough? In my opinion, you should rest for at least another half month."
Rodolfo shook his head, "The project won't wait. Every day of delay costs more money. This time, the authorities have been accommodating enough. We can't push our luck."
Hearing this, Olivia said nothing more, but felt a bit reluctant in her heart.
Rodolfo looked at her and suddenly smiled, "Mid-month, do you want to go to Harmony City with me?"
Olivia was stunned, "Go to Harmony City? Is there something you need me to do?"
Rodolfo looked at her deeply and said, "Not really. Mainly to see me off, and also, to meet the 'daddy' who's been making you distracted lately and who Bianca keeps thinking about!"
