Sign the Papers Mr. Langford novel Chapter 431

But when the fire burns people, putting it out still leaves scars.

Wren returned to the conference room.

"Mrs. Lester agreed to let Mr. Lawson intervene solely for privacy protection. Phoebe, contact Thorne Corp and have them expedite the platform takedowns. Joey, compile a separate list of all the accounts doxing Logan's identity. Don't mix them with the accounts attacking Stellaris."

Joey nodded. "Understood."

Phoebe studied her expression and asked quietly, "What about you?"

"I'm going to see the Ethics Board."

"We just had a meeting with them."

"Online isn't enough." Wren grabbed her coat. "New pilots can be suspended, but we cannot sever support for the current families. I need to negotiate a transition plan."

Phoebe looked at her, her gaze gradually softening.

"I'll go with you."

"No need," Wren said. "You stay here. Stellaris cannot afford to fall into chaos today."

She walked to the door, then paused.

"And one more thing. No one internally is allowed to say 'we've been wronged.'"

They all looked at her.

Wren's voice was very soft. "Logan's family cannot bear to hear those words right now."

Stellaris was the one being falsely accused.

But the one truly injured first was that child.

That afternoon, Wren visited the IRB office.

She waited for an hour and a half before finally seeing Dr. Lewis.

The office was piled high with documents, and Dr. Lewis looked like she hadn't slept either. Bypassing any small talk, she said directly, "Ms. Whitaker, the suspension on new enrollments will not be lifted in the short term."

"I know." Wren placed her proposal on the desk. "I'm not here to ask you to revoke the suspension. I'm here to request authorization to maintain non-data-collecting support for our existing families."

Dr. Lewis opened the proposal.

It was highly detailed.

No new data collection.

No new video recordings.

Maintain essential rehabilitation reminders.

Maintain family consultation and Q&A.
