Chapter 96: Was He Greater than Hunter?
Chapter 96: Was He Greater than Hunter?
One hundred thousand Yuan! For the majority of students, this was an immeasurable amount!
They didn't need to think about whether it was possible for her to produce this one hundred thousand Yuan or whether she had someone very rich backing her up. Since she had declared this, they believed that she could produce this amount of money.
A few students among the crowd were raring to go for it since the money was very tempting.
However, did they really see what happened with their own eyes?
“If it's found that there aren't any of my fingerprints on this girl's body, but someone claims that ‘he has seen me pushing her and provides this observation as evidence, he could very well be charged with slander crime.”
“Emily, are you trying to threaten us now?” Cici grabbed her only opportunity to fight back as she retorted.
Emily just snickered coldly while looking down on her, “I'm not making empty threats. I'm just stating the truth. Can you be sure that I have left my fingerprints on her shirt?"
Who could be sure of that? After all, nobody had actually seen her pushing that girl!
Judging from Emity's arrogant attitude at the moment, if someone had actually seen her pushing that girl, he or she would
definitely stand out and explain. After all, she wasn't wearing gloves or anything of the sort. If she was involved in an altercation, there was no way she wouldn't leave her fingerprints somewhere on her body.
But at the moment, nobody had stood up in response to Emily's challenge.
They were starting to wonder whether it was these three girls who were actually slandering Emily.
“Just now, I think she fell down purposely by herself.” Someone offered softly.
“Cici, why haven't you called the police yet?” Emily took another two steps forward,
Cici was astonished by her action and she unexpectedly flopped to the ground as she whimpered, “Emily.”
“What's going on here? Are you going to say that I have pushed you right now? I don't think your trick is working anymore; I never even touch you for once. This time, I'm sure everybody can be my witness.”
She was right! Emily didn't push her at all, it looked more like Cici had flopped to the ground on her own because she was
intimidated by Emily. Would this make Emily look like a bully?
On the other hand, why was Emily being so assertive and adamant at this moment? Wasn't she that stupid and ugly fool
whom everyone remembered her as?
“why haven't you called the police yet?” Emily stared at Cici who was sitting on the ground. She looked high and mighty right now, as the others were starting to panic.
Cici was still recovering from the shock, and she only returned to normal after a while.
She gnashed her teeth while clambering up from the ground, and then she threw a glare at Emily while bellowing, You have gone too far!”
“I'm just urging you to call the patice, how is that going toc far? I need them to prove my innocence too. Emily was expressionless at this moment. Her eyes were cold and indifferent, and she looked aloof and majestic right now.
“You are slandering me for forcing Amy and claiming that I had brought a dozen brawlers to Amy's ward. The Suntech Hospital is a big hospital, I'm sure there are a lot of surveillance cameras, am I wrong?”
“If such a serious incident had happened, do you think nobody in the hospital would witness it and upload photos on websites?"
“Or could it be that the hospital couldn't do anything to me and they weren't even planning te call the police? Do you think they would be this intimidated?”
“Your... your... your backer's power and influence is too widespread...” Cici was stammering now as she couldn't find anything to refute her.
“Nowadays, we can learn and know about everything on the internet. Even if it is someone influential like Hunter, he can't completely suppress the freedom of speech of the public.”
She felt sorry for bringing up his name again.
In Bentson City, Hunter was a very good reference to make when it came to choosing someone everybody knew of. He was undoubtedly famous in this city.
“Maybe you should tell me, who else is better than him to the point that he can even control public opinions?”
Cici was staring at her while thinking, “Isn't this bitch’s backer Hunter himself?" But since everybody thought that she was under the wing of an old geezer, Cici didn't want to destroy this impression. It was better if everybody thought that she was being provided for by an old geezer. Since she was an ugly girl, Hunter would abandon her sooner or later.
“Why are you still hesitant? You should call the police naw! What are you waiting for?” Emily crossed her arms in front of her chest while chuckling coldly, “Unless you're actually the guilty one here.”
“Why should I feel guilty...” Cici replied weakly.
“Then go ahead and call the police.” One of the onlookers urged her, “She had brought with her so many brawlers and whipped up such a big incident. She had violated the law.” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“Yes, Cici, go call the police, I don't believe that her old geezer is so great that he can even bend the law!"
“He's right; nowadays the police are targeting private gangs. Call the police so that that old geezer can be sent packing!”
Cici was starting to regret her words now. Her statement that there were more than a dozen brawlers seemed too exaggerated.
After all, if this huge fiasco had really happened, the police would have received wind of this.
“Cici, call the police now, don't be intimidated by her!”
“I agree with her, Cici, we must make sure that justice prevails, don't back off now!"
“She's right, Cici, what are you afraid of? Make the call now.” Emily was smiling gently now to show she wasn't the least bit worry about the prospect of her calling the police.
On the other hand, Cici wouldn't dare to report this to the police. If she had made a report about something that never
happened, she would be charge with slandering and she would never see the end of it!
Her sole task today was to restore Amy's reputation, so she couldn't let this matter spread any further. She just wanted to stir up some gossips on the internet which was a harmless move. If this matter became serious, she was bound to be investigated by the police.
If the truth came to light. Amy would be irretrievably defeated.
“I... Amy is really pitiful now, how can make things worse for her? What if you are going to pressure her again? She will not be able to return to her normal life anymore.”
Cici glanced at her two partners in crime, and both of them stood up. They were about to leave just like this.
“Stop right there!” Emily's ruthless voice sounded behind their backs all of a sudden.
“Do you still want to bully us?”
“No, I just want to inform you, since you've spoiled my phone, please compensate me.” Emily said while pointing at her phone on the ground.
“You're talking nonsense...”
“Just now, you'd slapped my phone onto the ground, and everybody present can be my witness.” Emily didn't pick up her phone yet. Her phone was still on the floor.
“If she doesn't want to compensate me, I will reward any of you who help me to call the police. I will reward you with the police's fine."
Immediately, someone took out his phone and intended to call the police. This was a piece of cake for anyone,
Emily's phone looked like those expensive models! As expected of someone who was being taken care of by a rich guy, her things were not in the same league as a normal student's stuff.
It was Liam who had given her this phone.
She didn't know about the price, but this was something bought for her by Hunter, so the price must not be cheap in any way.
“You... you're too much!” Cici finally recognized the model of her phone on the ground, and her eyes widened with shock!
“You can pay me ten thousand Yuan, and I won't pursue this matter anymore. Or less, I'll see you at the police station.” Emily showed a meek smile.
“Ten thousand Yuan! Why don't you go rob a bank?" Cici was fuming right now as her face reddened.
Someone in the crowd muttered softly, “This phone is a top model from G brand. Its screen alone cost tens of thousands of Yuan"
Cici almost fainted when she heard that! tf the screen cost tens of thousands of Yuan, then the phone itself must have cost more... she wouldn't be able to fish out that amount to compensate her.
Cici walked towards the phone in an attempt to pick it up so she could check the condition of the phone whether it was really spoiled.
Emily suddenly interrupted, “If you touch it once again, that will cost you fifty thousand Yuan”
“Emily!”
“How about it? It's just ten thousand Yuan, are you going to pay me or not? If you're not planning to pay me, I will consult the police's opinion about how much you should be compensating me."
“Emily, you... you...” Cici suddenly broke in tears with a loud wailing sound.
The amount was ten thousand Yuan! Her total pocket money was at most twenty thousand Yuan!
“Sniff, Emily, you've gone too far... She continued crying.
“My phone is spoilt. Who wants to help me to call the police? The compensation money will belong to you”
“Me!”
“Let me do it!”
“Me..”
“Emily!” Cici was so angry she was stamping the ground at the moment. “I'll compensate you!”
