“Just now, I asked you to leave, but you didn’t. Now you’re in trouble!” After Lilly Bartlet heard Jedidiah Howe’s words, she burst into laughter.
With Jedidiah Howe’s presence, Flynn can’t get away with hitting her.
Just the act of pulling her off the horse alone would be enough to land Flynn in prison for several years.
“It’s him!” James Gray pointed to Flynn not far away.
“Good! Don’t worry, Mr. Gray. I’ll send someone over to arrest him Then we… Huh? M-Mr. Clark?” Jedidiah Howe instantly froze in place, his mouth twitching.
Huh?
Mr. Clark?
Did they know each other?
Lilly Bartlet blinked more than ten times in a second, frozen in place, too.
Others were stunned as well.
What was going on?
Flynn didn’t even look up and said, “Jedidiah Howe, you want to have me arrested?”
“No, no…” Jedidiah Howe’s mind went blank. Without hesitation, he put on an ingratiating smile.
Several people from the Pelens didn’t know Flynn, but Jedidiah Howe was very familiar to him.
Because of this man, he was beaten by his father, Emanuel Howe, twice, each time worse than before.
Even a city governor wouldn’t dare to offend Flynn!
What happened?
No one knew why Emanuel Howe’s son was so scared when he saw Flynn!
“Jedidiah Howe, what do you mean?” James Gray frowned and asked.
Jedidiah Howe coughed and smiled awkwardly, whispering in James Gray’s ear,
“Mr. Gray, even my dad doesn’t dare to offend Mr. Clark. Let’s forget about today’s matter.”
Lilly Bartlet and others were suddenly dumbfounded, finding it hard to believe their ears.
Even Emanuel Howe dare to offend a friend of a construction worker?
“Mr. Gray, I’ve already apologized to him face-to-face! Do you really want me to apologize to him online?” Lilly Bartlet pouted and coquettishly complained again, obviously unwilling to give in.
“Apologize?” James Gray snorted lightly and squinted at Flynn.
“Jedidiah Howe wants to avoid trouble, I understand.”
“But this matter cannot be just let go!”
Jedidiah Howe was caught in a dilemma. Seeing that James Gray didn’t back down, he pleaded with Flynn in a low voice, “Mr. Clark, how do you want the other party to handle it? I’ll go persuade them.”
He gave gifts to James Gray from time to time so that he could be transferred to work at the Pelens Police Department.
So, today, he invited James Gray to come and play.
If things soured because of today’s incident, his transfer would probably be affected.
It would be best to turn big issues into small ones, and small issues into none.
Flynn said expressionlessly, “Lilly Bartlet posted Reed Duffy’s photo online for defamation. It was extremely malicious, and her false apology was extremely arrogant.”
“She must apologize publicly on the internet, and Pelens University must expel her.”
Expelling her?
When Flynn said this, Lilly Bartlet and others completely lost their composure. They were burning with anger.
Lilly Bartlet snorted with disdain on her face, “If it weren’t for my teacher, I wouldn’t have made that apology just now.”
“You want me to apologize publicly on the internet and have Pelens University expel me? Does Pelens University belong to you?”
“You’re such a despicable man!”
James Gray chuckled, unfazed, and didn’t want to waste his breath arguing with Flynn. He took out his phone and made a call.
“If Emanuel Howe doesn’t dare to offend him, what about the Gray family from Pelens?”
An insignificant person from Niarak like Flynn is not worth him bowing down even if he knew Travis Richardson!
With just this much power, he dared to pressure Pelens University?!
“The Gray family from Pelens?” When the surrounding tourists heard James Gray’s words, surprise appeared on their faces.
No wonder he was so arrogant!
He had connections!
In terms of overall strength, the Gray family was second only to the Watson family! Even ten Orion Kennedys couldn’t match that level of achievement!
“Mr. Gray is amazing! We should have found someone from Pelens to suppress him earlier! Hmph!” Lilly Bartlet became cocky again and gave James Gray an ambiguous look.
The meaning was clear-If he could help her save face today, she would serve him well tonight.
Lilly Bartlet slept with James Gray for a research paper a year ago.
Although he was an old man, Lilly Bartlet received great benefits from him.
Not only did she have smooth sailing academically, but she also became management in a large company under the Gray family.
With a monthly salary of 130 thousand dollars and a successful career right after graduation from university-sleeping with James Gray more than a hundred times was definitely worth it!
However, Jedidiah Howe furrowed his brows tightly and showed some concern.
In his opinion, even if James Gray invited Pelens’ city governor over, he still wouldn’t be able to control Flynn.
“Mr. Gray, I think…”
James Gray hung up the phone with an annoyed expression and interrupted directly, “Jedidiah Howe, isn’t Mr. Clark asking Pelens University to expel Lilly?”
“I’ve already called Mr. Lorty, the president of Pelens University.”
“He is also here in Niarak.”
“Bobby Sheppard from Dragon Creek Society will also come along. They will handle this matter.”
“You don’t need to worry about anything here. Just go.”
In his view, Flynn had a good relationship with Emanuel Howe since Jedidiah Howe wanted to plead for Flynn.
This kid had taken Flynn’s side.
Now that Jedidiah Howe didn’t want to help, James Gray wouldn’t show any good attitude towards him anymore.
This idiot lost an important connection!
He had no backbone at all!
“Mr. Lorty? The president of Pelens University! A position equivalent to that of an official! Mr. Gray even invited him over!”
“Mr. Lorty is coming here for the battle, isn’t he? It’s too coincidental. He will definitely stand up for us!”
“Mr. Lorty knows many big shots! With a little manipulation of connections, we can teach these two arrogant men a lesson!”
Lilly Bartlet and others were rubbing their hands together eagerly, waiting for Mr. Lortyto arrive and settle this matter once and for all.
Mr. Lorty might ask Lilly Bartlet to apologize online but would never dare expel her!
After all, Lilly Bartlet was the president of the student union and had been recognized as an outstanding student. She was also recommended for graduate school.
Firstly, if Pelens University expelled Lilly Bartlet, it would mean that there were problems with the postgraduate application process at Pelens University. If investigated further, it could lead to other problems as well.
Secondly, expelling Lilly Bartlet would imply that there were problems with selecting outstanding students at Pelens University.
Thirdly, if Lilly Bartlet was expelled, there might be others implicated as well. If things got complicated, people involved would get into trouble, causing chaos. The more complex the situation became, the greater the social impact would be.
Even Mr. Lorty, as the principal, might have to resign and take responsibility.
Mr. Lorty must suppress this matter!
Seeing that even the president of Pelens University had gotten involved, Reed Duffy became nervous and stammered, “Mr. Clark, when their president comes over, we should just ask Lilly Bartlet for an apology. It would be too difficult for them to expel her.”
He knew that Flynn knew Orion Kennedy and others but couldn’t figure out Mr. Lorty’s true strength.
He didn’t want Flynn to offend Mr. Lorty by insisting on getting Lilly Bartlet expelled from the school.
If Mr. Lorty had even bigger connections, then Flynn would definitely suffer big losses.
Just then, a black Range Rover slowly drove into Dream Club.
Saul Lorty got out of the car and sighed deeply, “These students need some proper education. How could they post videos online and cause such a big commotion?”
“Lilly Bartlet is the president of the student union. I even presented her with an Outstanding Student certificate not long ago.”
“We definitely can’t expel her. Otherwise, it would be a slap in the face for me and for Pelens University!”
“If I’ll step in, they will surely give me some face…”
