Chapter 278
After Zoe got her wounds treated, she left the clinic with Tiffany They walked alongside each other.
As they were walking, the two of them suddenly thought of someone.
“Where is Ged?‘ they wondered..
In the past, whenever Zoe was bullied, even if Tiffany was not around, Ged would protect Zoe.
This little tyrant’s temper was not to be trifled with. With him around, many girls had to think twice before bullying Zoe.
“Could he be in the classroom?” Zoe asked.
“Impossible.”
Tiffany shook her head.
She had been to the classroom earlier, but Ged was not there.
Recalling how the rumors had smeared her reputation recently. Tiffany was afraid that Ged would be targeted as well. She could not help but feel a little worried. She immediately said, “Let’s go ask someone.”
Tiffany called out to
ut to someone on
the field.
The unlucky boy wanted to run, but Tiffany caught up to him and gave him a beating.
Tiffany asked fiercely. “Why the hell are you running?”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“Then what are you chasing after me?” the boy asked.
Tiffany was speechless.
“I saw you chasing me, so obviously, I took off,” the boy added.
Tiffany did not want to waste time here and asked directly, “You’re from the class next door. You should know where Ged was taken to, right?”
“I…I don’t know…” the boy stuttered.
He claimed that he did not know anything, but his darting eyes and avoidance of Tiffany’s gaze suggested that there was definitely something off.
Tiffany’s face darkened. “Speak!”
“H–he’s locked up in the equipment room…” the boy said.
“Which equipment room?” Tiffany asked.
“The basement of Building No. 1…”
When Zoe heard this, she immediately exclaimed, “When’t that place abandoned a long time ago? Did you guys lock Ged up there because you want him to die?”
“It’s not me, it’s not me. I merely happened to see
The boy explained aggrievedly, afraid that he would be beaten up.
‘Let’s go.
Tiffany immediately went to the basement of Building No. 1 with Zoe in tow.
Due to being abandoned for so long, the place was dark and stuffy, with no ventilation. Dust and cobwebs were everywhere, and the pitch–black surroundings only fueled the fear in them.
The closer they got, the colder the expression on Tiffany’s face.
Zoe held up her phone for light, but she still shrank back in feat. The thought of Ged being trapped here for so long made her realize how utterly despondent he must have been.
Zoe thought, “What if no one noticed Ged here? What if everyone forgot about him? What would happen if he was locked up for a few days? The consequences are unimaginable!
Tiffany and Zoe walked in and finally stopped in front of an abandoned equipment room.
They saw that a metal rod was jammed across the door handle and the wall, making it impossible for anyone inside to get
out.
Tiffany removed the metal rod and kicked the door open.
Under the dim light of Zoe’s phone, they saw Ged lying lifelessly on the floor, his pale face and labored breathing making him seem like a fish gasping for air.
“How could this have happened? Tiffany thought.
Zoe was taken aback and quickly shouted, “What’s wrong with you, Ged? Don’t scare us!”
There was no way Ged was faking this.
Tiffany was startled. “Stop asking him questions. He’s claustrophobic. Hurry up and help him out!”
Without another word, Tiffany rushed forward, lifting Ged off the ground and carrying him on her back. With Zoe helping to steady him, they quickly made their way out together.
Light reappeared.
Lying on the spacious ground, Ged’s frightening appearance started to ease.
His strength slowly returned, and he could breathe on his own again.
When he had mostly recovered, Ged suddenly cried out and threw himself into Tiffany’s arms.
“You’re finally here! I knew you’d come to save me!” he said.
Ged was still shaking.
He was trembling all over.
Tiffany’s face darkened. She had never been so angry before.
If they had been half an hour later, Ged might have died from suffocation.
Tiffany wanted to ask those pranksters if it was fun locking up someone with claustrophobia.
She was seething with anger.
Tiffany took a deep breath and asked, “Who locked you up?”
Ged named a few people.
Tiffany stood up without another word and walked toward their lormitory.
It was noon, and these boys were still taking an afternoon nap in their respective dormitories. They were probably sleeping soundly.
When Tiffany stood at the entrance of their dormitory, she could still hear laughter coming from inside.
Tve disliked Ged for a long time. In the past, everyone gave in to him just because his family was rich. Now that his family is in debt, what right does he have to stand up to us?”
“Exactly! It’s about time he got taught a lesson. That way, he wont get too full of himself!”
“Haha, I wonder how that kid is doing now. He sure is stubborn. All I did was say that I wanted a taste of Tiffany and he punched me so hard 1 got a nosebleed! Damn it!”
While the four or five boys were chatting and laughing, the door was kicked open.
Tiffany stood there with a cold smile. I can let you try the taste of my fist.”
Then, she walked in.
Screams and wails sounded continuously.
Tiffany walked out calmly 10 minutes later. The skin on the back of her hand was torn. One could imagine how ruthlessly she had beaten those boys.
A few boys threatened, Tiffany, I won’t let you off!”
These kids all came from affluent families, with strong backgrounds behind them. If they worked together, they could pose a real threat to the Kelley family.
Tiffany sneered.
Let’s see who will prevail, she thought.
At this moment, she received a call from Richard.
Tiffany answered the call, sniffling slightly.
“Hello, Richard.”
Hearing the little girl’s nasal voice, Richard immediately sat up straight and frowned. “What’s wrong? Are you crying?”
“I beat up someone, Tiffany said.
“Did you hurt your hand?” Richard asked.
Tiffany looked at the blood on the back of her hand and replied, “Yes, it’s bleeding?
l be right there,” Richard said.
“Those people even said that they won’t let me off, Tiffany said.
Richard let out a cold laugh, rage churning inside him, a chilling tone lacing his words. “Tll deal with this. Wait for me. I’ll be there in 10 minutes.”
“Okay,” Tiffany said.
“After hanging up. Richard–could not be bothered to rest anymore. He immediately told Tyrone
rushed to Lovell School to prepare the car and
During those 10 minutes on the road, Tyrone had already investigated everything that had happened to Tiffany in school.
If Samantha’s ridicule earlier was just courting death, then the words of the boys after that were simply unforgivable!
Richard thought angrily. The audacity of them! How dare they have such dirty thoughts? They even want to have a taste of Tiffany?
Richard’s face darkened.
As Tyrone nervously finished his report, the same merciless words came from the back seat, each word clear and distinct.
“Make them disappear, and their families… get rid of them all! Richard ordered.
This was the price they had to pay!
Yes, Mr. Hampton!”
Tiffany was done bashing up those boys and was on her way back when she spotted Ged and Zoe standing there like two clueless kids, not daring to move.
Tiffany burst out laughing, her mood gradually improving.
“Let’s go home!” she said.
Tiffany did not mention a word about what she had just gone out to do, even deliberately covering the injury on the back of her hand, her face still wearing a casual smile.
Her smile was as radiant as the morning sun, bright and warm.
Ged and Zoe looked away.
Both of their eyes were red.
Just because Tiffany left some things unsaid did not mean they were unaware of it.
There had always been people mocking them, saying that they were willing to die to protect Tiffany.
However, from the beginning to the end, Tiffany was the one who was protecting them.
