Faye finally spoke up then. "What were you up to today?" "Not much. I've been cultivating in my room all day," said Wilbur, confused. Faye scoffed. "Where were you in the morning?" "The morning?" Wilbur blinked. "I went out for breakfast." "Just breakfast?" Faye demanded coldly. Wilbur shrugged. "Got myself into something stupid. What's up?" "You took upskirt photos of a young lady, didn't you?" Faye demanded, her expression ashen. Wilbur darkened in the face at once. "Are you kidding me? Would I really do something like that? Besides, I've already proven my innocence. I didn't take any photos at all." Elsa could not hold it in any longer, bursting out laughing. "Dude, you've gone viral. Everyone's calling you a pervert online." "What?" Wilbur exclaimed in shock. Faron coughed. "Just go on any social media app and you'll know what happened." Wilbur took out his phone and pulled up a video streaming app, and there it was, right at the top of the home page. "Perve
Wilbur's expression was ashen. "She said no, and her attitude was terrible." "The nerve she has!" Faye scoffed. "Well, we won't play nice either. Report her for slander right now, and have the legal department sue her. Give her a taste of jail and see how she acts then." No one said anything after that, but everyone knew that Faye would not even have to lift a finger. Everyone else present was more than capable enough of getting it done. Flora Duvall would not be able to retaliate in the slightest, and Wilbur would not even have to show up. Yet Wilbur gave it some thought, and said, "That's a little drastic, come on. She is still a kid, let's just give her another chance." Faye looked at Wilbur. "Okay, since you're fine with it. We'll give her one more chance. I'll tell the legal team to send her a letter explaining how serious the matter is. Let's hope she wakes up." Wilbur nodded, and Faye made the calls at once. Wilbur was nothing but annoyed then. He had been made vir
However, someone had spotted Wilbur before they could reach the door. "Hey, isn't he the pervert who took the upskirt photos?" a woman called out loudly, drawing the attention of many others. They turned around and broke out into murmurs when they saw Wilbur. A few men even swore at Wilbur out loud, some of them going as far as to get up to beat Wilbur up until their friends held them back. Wilbur's expression was positively murderous. Faye dragged him out of the door in a hurry, and everyone got into the car to drive back to Sealake Island at top speed. They all returned to Wilbur's room, where Faye comforted him. "It's fine, you already made the decision to give her another chance to clear things up. You'll be alright." Wilbur let out a long breath. "I never knew cyberbullying was this terrible." "I'd say you're doing pretty well, but you're you. Most people would have thrown themselves off the nearest tall building already," said Elsa. Faron frowned as well. "This yo
Wilbur and the others arrived at Westhand College about half an hour later but were stopped by the guards at the gate. Faron interjected, "Let me handle this." He dialed a number, and the call connected quickly enough. "Mister Campbell! How can I help you?" Michael Herman, the school principal, sounded slightly nervous answering the call. "Could you come to campus right now? I'll wait for you at the main entrance." "Of course! Can I please know why, Mister Campbell?" Michael asked cautiously. "You'll find out when you're here." Faron hung up the call. Michael knew Faron, and he held a considerable amount of power. He might only be a principal but was only half a tier lower than Orin in terms of official status. Of course, the actual power gap was another thing altogether. However, Michael's status had allowed him to be in contact with Orin, and subsequently Faron. A little after half an hour later, Michael pulled up in front of the college in a hurry. He exchanged a
No wonder Wilbur had been powerful enough to handle Shelby's incident. It turned out that he was the real owner of Cape International. That alone was a terrifying enough identity. Michael racked his brain and said, "I'll send for Flora Duvall right now, as well as the college secretary Mister Simon Finn so we can all deal with this together. How does that sound?" "Great. We've called the police as well, who I'm sure will be here with Mister Penn's legal representative in no time. Let's have a good talk about this," Faye said. Michael's expression turned solemn at once. Having these four people here was enough pressure as it was. Now that the police and lawyers were involved, it was clear that Flora was going to be severely punished. Judging from the videos she had uploaded, Michael definitely agreed that Flora was in the wrong here. Wilbur had not done anything she had accused him of, and she had sent an ocean of hate his way. A legal warming had been sent over, and tha
Elsa and the others all took on an ugly expression at the sight of Flora's cockiness. Michael was positively furious as well. This girl was really playing with fire here, making up a whole story without any proof. What was wrong with her? Did she know who she was dealing with here? What a lost cause! Michael did not intend to save her in the slightest. He eyed Flora coldly. "So what you're saying is that you have no proof that Mister Penn here actually took photos of you?" "Yes, but only because I caught him in the act," Flora said, sticking her chin out. Michael shook his head, turning to Juno. "Officer Simpson, please decide the nature of the case for us to proceed." The lawyer had already told Juno everything that happened, as well as providing all the relevant proof. It was clear as day that Flora had no proof at all and was falsely accusing a stranger from a place of bad faith. She had spread vile rumors about him online, leading others to attack him viciously.
It was honestly laughable how she had even gotten the thought to begin with. Flora looked like she was ready to explode, her chest heaving as she glowered around her. She could not believe that this was happening to her. She was only protecting her own rights as a woman! What was wrong with that, and why were these people doing this to her? They were all out to get her, they were all out for her demise. Just then, Michael shouted, "Miss Duvall, please control your emotions. Sit down." As a principal, Michael still held a certain amount of power over his students. Even Flora had no choice but to do as told, despite the indignant look on her face. "What positions does Miss Duvall currently hold on campus, Mister Finn?" Michael turned to ask Simon. Simon said at once, "She's a member of the student committee, with a guaranteed admission to grad school." Simon had found out what happened on the way here and immediately had all of Flora's information prepared on his phone.
Flora was utterly dumbfounded. She did not expect things to be so serious and could not believe that they were going to sue her. Michael and the others looked stern, and they did not help her. They felt like Flora deserved it. "How can you treat me like that? This is outrageous!" Flora yelled all of a sudden after recovering from her daze. She felt like she was mistreated. Faye said coldly, "We gave you a chance to delete the video and clear up the misunderstanding. We told you to apologize for Mister Penn's reputation, but you wouldn't listen, and you made it worse. You should bear the consequences then." "You're bullying me! This is bullying! How can you treat me like that?" Flora screamed hysterically. She did not realize her mistake at all. Wilbur stood and shook his head. He said, "You're unredeemable." Then, he walked outside. Faye and the others followed suit. Juno spoke up when they were about to leave, "Miss Duvall, since someone has reported a crime on you
