Chapter 211: The Reaction

Three weeks after the demonstration of the dangers of the alternating current, the news spread like wildfire. Poul and Jonathan were reading the newspaper from their respective locations, each having their own reaction. Poul was visibly pissed and Jonathan was deep in thought.

As Poul slammed down his newspaper, startling Amelia who gave him the newspaper. 

"That fucking Russell, he really has done it!  Spreading lies about alternating current being dangerous even though both systems are dangerous if above 20 milliamps."

"This is the worst timing ever, next to the accident that happened in the factory. I mean seriously."

"You couldn't have worded it better, Poul. We have an upcoming meeting with representatives from Iowa and Texas for a possible acquisition of the alternating current system," Amelia said, her voice low.

"I'm sure Jonathan has received the news and will act accordingly, like confronting Russell."
