Flynn pulled Lilly Bartlet off the horse, throwing her heavily to the ground, and then lectured Reed Duffy.
Lilly Bartlet’s classmates were all stunned.
They didn’t expect Flynn to be so violent. He just asked a question, and when he received a negative answer, he immediately took action.
“A grown man hitting a woman, it’s really shameless!”
“Lilly was just defending her rights. Not only did you fail to acknowledge your mistakes and offer a public apology online, but you even had the audacity to come here and cause trouble?”
“Despicable man, you’ve brought this upon yourselves. I recorded everything and will post it online!”
Lilly Bartlet’s classmates were furious and strongly condemned Flynn.
They unanimously decided to post the video online, unleashing the wrath of countless netizens upon Flynn.
They wanted him bombarded with thousands of harassing calls and have internet users show up at his doorstep to cause him trouble.
They aimed to make Flynn’s life a living hell, forcing him to regret his actions today.
“Even if I did secretly film you, does that give you the right to post yesterday’s video online?” Reed Duffy clenched his fists in anger.
It was difficult to reason with these women. They had already concluded that his attempted filming had failed.
“Putting aside the facts, aren’t you at fault? There were seats at the bus stop, but you chose to squat on the ground. What was that if not an attempt to film?” Lilly Bartlet raised her eyebrows and deliberately screamed in pain, attracting the attention of numerous female tourists.
After everyone briefly understood the situation, they joined in the condemnation of Flynn.
In summary, even if Lilly Bartlet killed Reed Duffy’s family, it would still be wrong for Flynn to hit a woman.
“Oh! Lilly, what happened to you?”
At that moment, a middle-aged man rushed over.
He was in his fifties, slightly overweight with a protruding belly. His forehead was wide and shiny, with sparse eyebrows and small deep-set eyes that showed concern and affection for Lilly Bartlet.
He approached Lilly Bartlet, examined her injuries, and asked if she was hurt.
“Mr. Gray, this despicable man hit me. He pulled me off the horse and threw me to the ground. Waaah…” Lilly Bartlet pointed at Flynn lying on the ground, crying out in pain. She glared at him with hatred in her eyes, as if saying, “You’re finished. I will make you pay today.”
The other students explained the situation, each word filled with disgust and resentment towards Flynn.
They wanted nothing more than for Flynn to be torn apart as a form of venting their anger.
As James Gray listened, his face grew darker. He glanced at Flynn and revealed a cunning smirk.
He gently pinched Lilly Bartlet’s waist without leaving any trace and comfortingly said,
“Lilly, even if he did secretly film you, you shouldn’t post it online.”
“Quickly delete it and apologize to those involved. I’ll take you to Jade Dragon Mountain to watch the big battle.”
Lilly Bartlet was still crying when she heard James Gray’s words. She furrowed her brows.
“Mr. Wagne, what do you mean… Do you want me to let this despicable man off after he hit me?”
“Hmph! No! I won’t let it go! I want you to teach him a lesson!”
She pouted and clung to James Gray while playfully twisting her waist. Every now and then, her chest would brush against James Gray’s arm.
“Don’t worry. I will handle it for you.” James Gray smiled faintly, straightened Lilly Bartlet’s body, and gave her a meaningful look.
Lilly Bartlet instantly understood and smiled.
She took out her phone and deleted the post. Then she raised her head proudly and arrogantly said to Reed Duffy, “I’m sorry!”
Having slept with James Gray over a hundred times before, she knew exactly what he was thinking.
She even knew every inch of hair on this old man’s body.
James Gray meant that her act of posting someone’s portrait online to publicly denounce them was indeed inappropriate.
He suggested that the matter should end here and that he would deal with the two men behind the scenes.
Lilly Bartlet believed in James Gray’s capabilities and chose to delete the post.
“Hehe, good girl. Let’s go to Jade Dragon Mountain together.” James Gray stared at Lilly Bartlet’s chest and her beautiful face with his lecherous eyes. In his heart, he silently vowed that tonight he would have a taste of her at the Niarak International Hotel.
As Reed Duffy watched them leave happily without feeling any guilt, anger ignited within him. “Is this how it ends? I want her to apologize online!”
“The netizens should know the truth!”
James Gray had just taken a few steps when his smile froze on his face. He turned around and spoke up, “You actually want Lilly Bartlet to apologize to you online? Do you have any idea how much that would affect her?”
“She’s only twenty-three years old, the prime of her life! She finally got into university, and you want to ruin her?”
His eyes narrowed slightly as he approached Reed Duffy and whispered threateningly,
“Don’t think of me as just a university professor. Heh heh… My status is enough to scare you.”
“Every single one of my students can easily crush you!”
“Do you know Emanuel Howe? His son is my student, and he’ll be here soon to accompany me to Jade Dragon Mountain. Don’t push your luck!”
“Kid, you’d better talk some sense into your friend. After watching the battle at Jade Dragon Mountain, I hope he’ll kneel and apologize to Lilly Bartlet.”
After saying this, he patted Reed Duffy on the shoulder and sneered, preparing to leave.
He had seen the video from yesterday. Reed Duffy was covered in cement, clearly a low-level worker at a construction company.
A migrant worker from Niarak? He could handle it with just a word, without even lifting a finger himself!
“You think a lowlife like you deserves a public apology? You’re not worth it! Trash like you should just drop dead!”
Lilly Bartlet and the others snorted coldly, casting a disdainful glance at Reed Duffy before turning to leave the equestrian club.
But just then, a voice rang out behind them.
“So, you’re saying Reed Duffy doesn’t deserve dignity? That he should just die, and you can slander him however you want?” Flynn said as he narrowed his eyes.
“Huh?” James Gray’s expression darkened even further. He quickly stepped closer to Flynn and said coldly, “Exactly! What dignity does a lowly laborer have?”
“An apology from us is already a mercy!”
“I haven’t even settled the score with you for hitting Lilly Bartlet, and now you’re still causing trouble?”
“Kid, someone of my status can trample on your dignity as I please.”
“Whether you believe it or not, that’s the truth!”
Flynn tilted his head and sneered, “Your status? What status do you have?”
He was amused.
James Gray actually wanted to compare power and status with him.
“I…” James Gray hadn’t expected the other party to still be so stubborn. Just as he was about to lose his temper, his gaze suddenly caught sight of something in the distance. He then smirked.
“Heh, I can have Emanuel Howe’s son arrest you and deal with you. He will make sure you serve ten years in prison!”
“That’s my status!”
After saying this, he called out to someone behind Flynn and took a few steps forward to greet the person, “Jedidiah Howe, your teacher is over here!”
Lilly Bartlet and the others looked in the direction he was calling and couldn’t help but exclaim in excitement, “Jedidiah Howe is here to pick us up!”
“He’s Emanuel Howe’s son. You two losers are finished!”
“Let me tell you, this isn’t over!”
The girls were visibly excited, their sense of superiority on full display.
Jedidiah Howe graduated five years earlier than Lilly Bartlet, but he often visited Pelens University to hang out with James Gray.
They were acquainted.
James Gray and his group came to Niarak this time at Jedidiah Howe’s invitation.
“See? This was the difference in class. Emanuel Howe’s son is my friend. With your kind, you probably don’t even know a single local cop!” James Gray sneered inwardly.
“Mr. Gray, are you enjoying yourself? I’ve made a reservation at a restaurant. After watching the battle at Jade Dragon Mountain, I’ll treat you to dinner!” Jedidiah Howe walked up quickly, smiling warmly.
James Gray waved his hand and laughed, “Jedidiah Howe, you’re too kind. I’ll definitely join you.”
“But as for whether I’m enjoying myself… let’s just say I’m not happy.”
“Huh? What’s wrong? Did someone upset you?” Jedidiah Howe’s face darkened.
James Gray, playing the victim, said,
“Exactly. A punk just hit one of my students and even threatened to hit me!”
“What?! How dare he!” Jedidiah Howe’s expression turned grim.
“Where is this guy right now?”
“I’ll have him arrested!”
