The biggest problem with this matter was not that she filmed Reed Duffy, nor was it the illegal and insulting act of making Reed Duffy open the photo album.
It was not even the rude treatment of a humble person who chose to sit on the ground instead of dirtying the waiting seat.
It was her final words. “Be careful and stop taking pictures of others!”
Just imagine, a construction worker who has just finished work, afraid to sit on a seat at the bus stop, squatting awkwardly on the side, only to be falsely accused of taking pictures of a woman. And after Reed Duffy handed over his phone to prove his innocence, she even defamed him and exposed him on the internet. This was such a huge insult to a man.
Reed Duffy looked at the comments under the woman’s post, feeling his anger rising.
There were even many netizens supporting the woman’s actions in defending her legitimate rights.
Some netizens were shocked by Reed Duffy’s unjust treatment and stood up for him, knowing that the woman had wronged him.
But instead of apologizing, the woman responded to their comments with an arrogant attitude, showing no remorse.
“Mom, I can’t take it anymore. I don’t want to live!” Reed Duffy burst into tears and made a move towards the balcony.
He was already emotionally fragile and had mild depression. After being betrayed by his ex-wife, he had endured many people secretly mocking him.
Now he was facing an unfair accusation, breaking up with his new girlfriend, and being fired from his job.
He was on the verge of collapse.
“Be strong!” Flynn acted quickly, grabbing Reed Duffy by the collar and forcefully pushing him onto the couch.
Jessica Carr also began sobbing, “Flynn, what should we do? If this continues, my son’s future will be ruined!”
“Ms. Carr, don’t worry. Let me handle it.” After comforting Reed Duffy, Flynn picked up his phone to check something.
According to her bio profile, the woman claimed to be a graduate student from Pelens University, majoring in journalism.
With such high academic qualifications and a degree in journalism, she should adhere to the principles of respecting facts and prioritizing truth.
How did this woman become a journalism student?
Flynn glanced through the comments and found that some netizens who knew the woman had commented below.
“This woman is called Lilly Bartlet. She has an affair with a journalism professor. Even though she faked her graduation thesis, she got away with it because of her connections. She’s untouchable.”
“I was Lilly Bartlet’s high school classmate. Because I had a different personality and didn’t hang around her like others did, I became her target. Lilly Bartlet and her friends dragged me into the restroom where they physically assaulted and insulted me. It caused me severe depression, but the school just gave her minor punishments. This person is inherently vicious!”
However, these negative comments were dismissed by Lilly Bartlet, who claimed that Reed Duffy had hired a group of trolls to slander her, so no one took them seriously.
Lilly Bartlet was actually the one who hired internet trolls.
She seemed to have an incredible power to control public opinion and portrayed herself as someone who fought for her rights.
“Thank you all for your concern. This disgusting man deserves to die. I won’t be affected by this and will never apologize!”
Flynn saw Lilly Bartlet’s comment and immediately forwarded the link to Nathan Fletcher before calling him.
“Send me this woman’s information,” he said.
Soon enough, detailed information about Lilly Bartlet was sent over-photos, address, and phone number-even details about her ancestors.
This was the capability of the National Security Bureau.
“Boss, according to Lilly Bartlet’s phone location, she is currently at Dream Club in Niarak.”
Flynn put away his phone and turned to Jessica Carr. “Ms. Carr, what kind of justice do you want?”
“I want her to delete the defamatory post about my son and publicly apologize on social media.” Jessica Carr wiped away her tears with a tissue, choked with emotion.
It was so unfair!
This woman was so hateful!
Spreading rumors and causing others to suffer!
“Alright!” Flynn took Reed Duffy with him and left.
He would fulfill Jessica Carr’s request. If the other party refused, then he would do things his own way.
The two quickly arrived at Dream Club.
Flynn looked at a photo and immediately spotted Lilly Bartlet riding a horse.
She seemed in good spirits with a confident smile on her face.
Clearly, she didn’t take Reed Duffy’s online exposure seriously.
Reed Duffy approached her and grabbed onto the reins of her horse. “Apologize!”
“It’s you! The disgusting man dares to approach me?” Lilly Bartlet was enjoying her horse ride when her expression suddenly turned cold.
Reed Duffy angrily retorted, “I already proved my innocence last night. Why did you still expose me online?”
“What innocence did you prove?” Lilly Bartlet sneered while still sitting on her horse. She looked down at Reed Duffy with disdain.
“You originally intended to take pictures secretly but I caught you in advance.”
“If I hadn’t come earlier, you would have pressed that shutter button.”
“A disgusting man like you failed at taking secret pictures but still has the audacity to confront me?”
Reed Duffy felt his head throbbing with anger.
Didn’t that mean she believed that even though he didn’t do it, he had such intentions?
What a baseless accusation!
Did squatting on the ground with his elbows resting on his knees as he played with his phone mean he wanted to take upskirt photos?
According to this woman’s logic, did looking at her once mean he wanted something more?
At that moment, several friends of Lilly Bartlet also rode over on their horses.
They all started berating Reed Duffy one after another.
“A despicable man who takes pictures secretly still dares to show up? You have no shame! Do you want to hit Lilly?”
“Come on! Try hitting me so we can record it on video. I’ll expose you again!”
“What good qualities do you laborers have? You’re dirty all over and have perverted thoughts! It’s disgusting!”
These women were all classmates of Lilly Bartlet who came specifically to watch the battle that took place at Jade Dragon Mountain.
Since they still had time before it started, they decided to have some fun at Dream Club for a while.
“This is just your imagination. I never had any intention of taking pictures of you. Please delete your post! And then apologize!” Reed Duffy wasn’t good at arguing against several women berating him one after another. He could only repeat this sentence over and over again.
Lilly Bartlet coldly sneered, “A pervert would never admit that they are a pervert.”
“Just admit it! You are inherently dirty-minded and desire my body. It would be best if you died tonight!”
“If you want me to delete my post, kneel down and apologize.”
“Don’t even think about hiring internet trolls. You can’t defeat me. I have people behind me!”
“What?! Kneel down?” Reed Duffy felt his heart almost burst from anger as he pointed at Lilly Bartlet furiously. “You… You’ve gone too far! You’re going too far! It’s an outrageous insult!”
Flynn shook his head and patted Reed Duffy on the shoulder as a sign for him not to get angry. Then he looked at Lilly Bartlet indifferently.
“Lilly Bartlet, you refuse to apologize to Reed Duffy, right?”
Lilly Bartlet sneered, “Who are you? Where did you come from?”
“I have the freedom to defend my own rights. I don’t need an actual incident to occur before I can speak up.”
“This is called nipping it in the bud. That disgusting man should die!”
“Fine!” Flynn nodded approvingly as he reached out and grabbed Lilly Bartlet by her ankle, pulling her down from her horse forcibly.
With a loud thud, she fell onto the ground directly on her backside, causing dust clouds to rise along with intense pain in her internal organs. A large bump formed on the back of her head.
She held her head in agony as she screamed in pain.
Flynn had no sympathy for her. Instead, he turned to Reed Duffy, saying, “What did we talk about earlier?”
“She can say such absurd things without any harm done to her rights.”
“Why bother arguing with her then?”
“If she won’t apologize, just give her a beating!”
“After giving her a beating… You can say ‘I think you want to kill me, and to prevent such a thing from happening to me… I decide to strike first.”
“This is called giving someone a taste of their own medicine!”
