Chapter 1538 Strange
The tattletale's mother cried and made a scene at the school gate. She had been asking around these
days and eventually found out that the two female classmates come from wealthy families.
Why do rich people have to target ordinary folks like them? Can't they be a bit more tolerant?
"He's just a child."
Hannah got out of the car with Lilly and frowned at the sight.
"Why don't we enter the school later?" Hannah pulled Lilly. "Let's go."
She didn't want Lilly to face such a distressing situation.
However, Lilly didn't see the need to avoid it at all. Instead, she walked over and looked down at the
middle-aged woman crying on the ground.
"Your son is just a child. Aren't we children as well?"
Lilly calmly said, "If the complete video of this incident doesn't exist, wouldn't my sister and I be ruined
because of it?"
The woman continued to wail, grabbing Lilly's pants and cursing angrily, "How can you compare the
two? Your family is so rich! You're set for life even if you don't study! Even if you are misunderstood, it
won't affect you much. People will say you're bad kids at most. What does it matter? Why are you so
petty? Can't you just let us go after we apologize?!"
Lilly chuckled. "Is that right, Madam? If apologies were effective, why do we need the police? There are
laws and regulations in this world. If you commit a crime, you will have to bear the consequences! Even
if our family is rich, we are not obligated to tolerate your mistakes! This is not being petty. So, you can
forget trying to guilt trip us into letting you off the hook."
Hannah promptly sauntered over as she stood in front of Lilly and said brashly, "What's wrong? Is
being rich a crime? Should we be considerate of your circumstances and starve ourselves just because
we're rich? Are you saying we should let others bully us and step on us just because we're loaded?
Please! The money was earned by our elders through hard work. Every penny has withstood the test!
They work so hard to earn money for us to live a more comfortable life, not to be bullied by the likes of
you!"
Hannah was really fed up with people telling her to be more patient just because she hailed from an
affluent family. So, she never mentioned that she was part of the Crawford family.
Although others were aware that her family was well off, they simply assumed she was from a middle-
upper-class family.
Nevertheless, back to the matter at hand, it was one thing to guilt trip her but another monster when
this old hag was trying to manipulate Lilly!
Hannah snorted, pulling Lilly, and walked into the school with her head held high.
Sure, she didn't like being in the limelight because of her family's connections. Still, there was nothing
she feared in the world!
Meanwhile, the middle-aged woman continued crying and making a scene. Unfortunately, it was
useless as she was not in the right.
In the end, the school reported her to the police for causing trouble, and she was taken into custody.
Whenever she started to cause trouble, the Crawford family would deliberately send her into the top 10
trending tags.
They were more than willing to give her the exposure she wanted!
Besides, it wasn't as though they couldn't afford it!
Eventually, the netizens started digging into the Dross family as she continued to make a nuisance of
themselves.
That was when things got interesting as they soon exposed the tattletale's father for bribery and
exposed the mother's history of live streaming and selling fake goods.
When the snitch's father returned, he wasted no time slapping her across the face. Sure enough, she
stopped causing a ruckus after being threatened with divorce papers. She dared not cause trouble
again lest it resulted in her sleeping on the streets.
…
The workload in the third year of junior high started to get heavy as they were preparing for high
school. Nonetheless, Lilly had completed half of the curriculum unknowingly as she studied daily.
Every day, someone would write on the blackboard, '100 days until the final exams.'
One day after school, Lilly was hurrying down the stairs when she accidentally bumped into a boy
walking with his head down.
"Oh!" Lilly stopped in her tracks. "It's you."
She looked at the boy in surprise. His face was mottled with bruises. There was no doubt he had been
beaten up by someone!
He was wearing an oversized hoodie despite the hot weather. It definitely didn't help matters that he
also wore a hoodie and a hat, covering his face the best he could. Considering how he was practically
swimming in fabric, he was looking rather frail, too.
When he saw Lilly, he panicked, lowered his head, and pulled the hat down to cover his face.
Just as he was about to leave, he stumbled and fell down the stairs. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
…
The school doctor was about to get off work.
He was just thinking about what to have for dinner when he nearly had a heart attack!
He was so shocked that he rubbed his eyes to chase away the hallucination. Alas, that only served to
remind him that a slender girl was truly carrying a boy on her shoulder. There wasn't a bit of labored
breath as she steadily walked toward the school doctor's office.
The doctor could only gape at them in bewilderment.
Lilly said, "Sir, I found this classmate unconscious on my way home. So, I brought him here."
The school doctor shuffled off his amazement and quickly took the boy from her shoulders.
Fortunately, the boy gradually woke up after a thorough examination.
When he caught sight of Lilly, he immediately turned his face away to cover it!
The school doctor jotted down some notes and said, "Well, kid? Which class are you from? What's your
name?"
Lilly was surprised.
Owen… That sounded familiar.
At this moment, she had a strange feeling.
The gears of destiny were turning. It was as if she had traveled back to the time when she first met
Michael. Reаd at Draмanоvels.com
The school doctor said with a frown, "I think it goes without saying that your health is awful!"
Then, he questioned with a frown that it seemed it could be etched in stone. "Was someone hitting
you?"
The school doctor took his words for granted and naturally found it strange when they didn't line up with
his prognosis.
"No, thank you!" He disappeared in a flash.
Lilly watched his back, utterly immersed in her thoughts as she did.
