Bobby Sheppard and Saul Lorty got out of the car and walked towards the horse field.
At that moment, Flynn’s phone rang.
It was a call from Molly George.
Flynn stepped aside to answer.
“Bad news! Zion Watson’s servant took Harriet Hamilton away, and they are looking for you everywhere!”
“My senior sister and the others have also been taken to Jade Dragon Mountain! Zion Watson has made it clear that anyone involved in Stellan Wallace’s death will be punished!”
“What should we do?”
“Maybe you should run. They say Jack Jenkins is too powerful, terrifyingly so!”
Flynn’s face darkened. “Has Jack Jenkins arrived? What’s the situation at Jade Dragon Mountain? I hope they haven’t caused any damage!”
He didn’t mind being found, but he couldn’t let Jade Dragon Mountain be harmed.
“Mr. Lorty is here! The president of Pelens University!”
“And Mr. Sheppard is with him. Both of them are influential figures in Pelens!”
“With them around, at most, Lilly will apologize online, and there won’t be any major consequences. She can graduate smoothly and find a job!”
Several girls called out and rushed towards Saul Lorty.
Lilly Bartlet felt a bit frustrated.
She didn’t expect things to turn out like this.
She thought she could easily oppress these two people.
However, she didn’t expect Flynn to have some connections and persistence, so she could only apologize online.
Even so, she was not concerned about being expelled by Pelens University.
At that moment, Reed Duffy became nervous.
To him, Bobby Sheppard was too unapproachable. Reed Duffy felt like a poor commoner from ancient times, facing a nobleman-utterly powerless to resist.
Even if Flynn had some strength, could he really disrespect two big shots?
Expelling Lilly Bartlet would greatly diminish the influence and reputation of Pelens University!
Saul Lorty would definitely protect her!
“Mr. Lorty, it’s troublesome for you to come in person. I apologize for the inconvenience,” James Gray said.
“Oh, Mr. Sheppard is here too.” James Gray shook hands with Bobby Sheppard.
“Hello, Professor Gray,” Bobby Sheppard smiled politely.
It wasn’t necessary for Bobby Sheppard to show such respect to a university professor, but James Gray was a member of the Gray family, Peter Gray’s younger brother. Naturally, he had to give him some face.
“Even if Lilly Bartlet deletes the post and apologizes publicly, will he still refuse to accept the apology?” Saul Lorty’s face turned serious.
James Gray sighed, “Lilly Bartlet deleted the post and apologized to him face-to-face sincerely with tears. She even promised to apologize online.”
“But the other party remained unimpressed, insisting that the school expel Lilly.”
“Even mentioning your name or Mr. Sheppard’s didn’t work. We’re out of options.”
“Oh?” Saul Lorty’s face turned ugly. “He dares not give face to me and Mr. Sheppard?”
He exchanged a glance with Bobby Sheppard, furrowing his brows.
In their eyes, the other party was either ignorant of their social status and power dynamics or was someone with high-ranking connections.
Did Niarak have such a person?
Moreover, wasn’t Reed Duffy just a migrant worker? How could he know such a person?
It seemed that only the first possibility remained.
“Take me to see him!” Mr. Lorty’s face darkened as he followed James Gray.
Bobby Sheppard walked while saying, “Mr. Lorty, it’s not convenient for you to intervene in this matter. Let me handle it.”
“That would be great! I owe you a favor, Mr. Sheppard,” Saul Lorty said with a slight smile.
The group of people walked towards Flynn with stern faces.
“Hmm?”
When they were just a few meters away from Flynn, Bobby Sheppard suddenly froze.
Why did the person on the phone look so familiar from behind?
Too much like Mr. Clark!
Bobby Sheppard quickened his pace.
Lilly Bartlet looked at Flynn coldly and sneered, “Are you calling for help? Who do you think can save you? You’re dead meat!”
Just then, Flynn hung up the phone and turned around.
It was said Jack Jenkins and his group would arrive soon.
Thankfully, Jade Dragon Mountain hadn’t been damaged.
But the foot of Jade Dragon Mountain was already crowded with onlookers.
Almost all the big shots from Shipmeda State’s sixteen cities were there, as well as thousands of martial artists.
Among them were many Grandmasters.
Over ten thousand people in total!
“As long as they haven’t ruined the top of Jade Dragon Mountain.” Flynn felt relieved when he saw Bobby Sheppard walking towards him.
Their gazes met.
“Mr. Clark! It really is you!” Bobby Sheppard shuddered in shock and was momentarily at a loss for words.
“Hmm? Mr. Clark? Mr. Sheppard, could this person be…” Saul Lorty was dumbfounded as well.
Everyone was stunned.
Mr. Clark?
It would be understandable if Jedidiah Howe called him that way.
But even the head of Dragon Creek Society, the richest man in Pelens, called him in a respectful way!
A bad feeling washed over them.
Lilly Bartlet and her group were dumbfounded as they turned their heads to look at Jedidiah Howe, who sighed and shook his head helplessly.
He had advised them before but they didn’t listen. Who could they blame now?
The Gray family?
In front of this person, even the Grays had to lower their heads!
Bobby Sheppard quickly said, “That’s right, Mr. Lorty. This is Mr. Clark I mentioned earlier.”
“Mr. Clark, this is Mr. Lorty. The person who helped you identify the words ‘Dragon Seal’ earlier was none other than him.”
“I didn’t expect… things would turn out like this,” Bobby Sheppard added with embarrassment in his voice. It was already noon. He thought Flynn had gone to Jade Dragon Mountain for the battle. He never expected him to appear here!
“Ah!” Saul Lorty had his mouth wide open and was momentarily speechless. The words he had prepared to scold Flynn got stuck in his throat.
He had already heard about Flynn from Bobby Sheppard.
The Spencer family valued their relationship with him.
The Fletcher family in Eahta held him in high regard.
He caused a commotion at the Gray family banquet and made all the prestigious families in Pelens bow their heads.
And he killed Stellan Wallace not long ago.
This man couldn’t be offended!
He was in big trouble!
Saul Lorty smiled ingratiatingly, “I’ve heard so much about Mr. Clark!”
“I didn’t expect to meet you under these circumstances.”
“I will definitely urge Lilly Bartlet to apologize. As for expelling her… maybe you can give her a chance and…”
Flynn interrupted indifferently, “Lilly Bartlet will be expelled from school. James Gray will lose his position as a mentor!”
What?
James Gray being expelled too?
Another condition added?
This…
Saul Lorty choked and turned to Bobby Sheppard with a pleading look.
“Mr. Lorty, please agree,” Bobby Sheppard sighed without hesitation.
Even if he didn’t agree, someone else would handle this matter.
Saul Lorty twitched his face, looking troubled.
Expelling these two people would cause chaos at Pelens University, inevitably exposing many scandals.
The cost would be too great.
He knew about some issues within the school.
It wasn’t that he neglected his duties; he couldn’t make radical reforms because there were too many factors involved.
Take James Gray as an example. Students had reported multiple times about his inappropriate relationship with Lilly Bartlet.
Yet, he remained untouchable.
Why?
Because James Gray was part of the Gray family-the sixth uncle of the city governor!
“Mr. Lorty…” James Gray was also shocked.
If they expelled both of them together, it would confirm his relationship with Lilly Bartlet.
Would he still have any face left?
Before Saul Lorty could say anything, Flynn added, “Investigate all suspicions against Lilly Bartlet on the internet thoroughly.”
“She must be given justice.”
What justice?
Even fools knew this was sarcasm!
“No! Mr. Lorty, please don’t do this! Please don’t agree to his demands!” Tears streamed down Lilly Bartlet’s face.
“And her classmates incited conflicts and insulted migrant workers.”
“They will receive severe disciplinary action and have it recorded in their academic files!” Flynn continued.
This was madness!
Lilly Bartlet’s classmates went crazy!
They never imagined that just by talking trash, they would face such severe consequences!
With a major disciplinary action recorded in their files-no company would dare hire them in the future!
Saul Lorty sighed and said, “Professor Gray and Lilly Bartlet should go to school tomorrow to complete their withdrawal procedures.”
“The school will form an investigation team and put an official reprimand in Lilly Bartlet’s classmates’ academic files!”
Boom!
Lilly Bartlet felt dizzy.
She was about to graduate!
After studying hard for over ten years and getting into Pelens University-now she wouldn’t even get her diploma!
But that wasn’t even the most important thing. After she posted the video yesterday, there were comments accusing her of faking her research paper having an affair with James Gray, and bullying others during high school…
All of these were facts.
Wasn’t this pushing her to her death?
She was finished!
