Chapter 214 Melee
Chapter 214 Melee
Warren's POV:
By the time Alina called Coco, it was too late. The post had already gone viral and couldn't be deleted.
Fortunately, Alina didn't seem to have finished watching the surveillance footage, so she didn't know how that story ended.
I immediately confiscated the footage she was holding in her hand and destroyed it. Then, I rushed to the girls' dormitory building as quickly as my legs could take me. I was really worried about what would happen to Sylvia after she saw the post.
To my surprise, when I arrived at her room, a group of she-wolves where bullying her and Flora.
I quickly leapt into action. I grabbed the fiercest bully by the arm and yanked her aside.
I recognized her as Davina from Class D. She used to hang around Cherry a lot, so they were most likely friends. Because she and Cherry had often stirred up trouble for Sylvia together, I vaguely remembered her.
Flora managed to free herself from her captor. Her hair was in a mess, but she kept shouting, "Come on! Didn't you say you wanted to teach me a lesson? I hate you gossipy bitches the most. You always rush towards shit that has nothing to do with you!"
"Why, you—!" Davina pointed at Flora, her face contorted with rage. "Bitch, I'm gonna beat you to death!"
"Who are you calling bitch, bitch?" As she retorted, Flora ran towards Davina and threw a few more punches.
Seeing this chaotic scene unfold before me, I felt both angry yet amused. Before things got out of hand, I grabbed Flora firmly by her sleeve. "Calm down."
Flora was still angry, so despite being held onto by me, she kicked Davina a few more times. "You'd better watch your mouth, bitch!"
Davina's makeup was all messed up, and there were black footprints on her face. Obviously, Flora's kicks were hard. She pointed at Flora and shouted at the other she-wolves, "Kill her!"
"Stop!" I stood between Flora and Davina and shot the latter a serious look. "Have you forgotten the school rules? You'll be expelled from school if you fight in private."
Davina sneered. "This is none of your business, asshole. Who do you think you are?"
"I'm a member of the school's supervisory team, so I'm qualified to report any student who breaks the rules." I looked around coldly. "Try me."
Davina's companions helped her up. She shot Sylvia one last glare and snorted snootily. "You really are a slut. Wherever you go, a man will show up to save you."
"You fucking—!" Gritting her teeth, Flora was about to hit her again but Sylvia stopped her.
She pulled Flora behind her calmly then proceeded to slap Davina on the face. Davina was stunned, her eyes as wide as saucers. She didn't expect that Sylvia would slap her out of the blue.
"Do you have nothing but a vile tongue?" Sylvia's voice was cold and intimidating, like that of Rufus.
Before Davin a could react, Sylvia slapped her across the face again—hard.
"Do you actually think you can bully us just because you outnumber us?" Sylvia's cold eyes swept across all the she-wolves present. "If you really want what happened to Cherry, I can fulfill your
wish."
Davina's eyes were full of hatred. She gritted her teeth and opened her mouth to retort, but the she- wolves beside her pulled her back. They exchanged a few private words before Davina finally gave up.
"Just you wait and see!" Davina shot us one last glare before leaving with her companions in a huff.
Sylvia took Flora's hand and looked her up and down to make sure that she was not hurt. Then she walked up to me and said, "Thanks for the help, Warren. Otherwise, they would've gotten us into more trouble."
"You're welcome. As long as you and Flora are not hurt, I'm relieved."
Subconsciously, I stole a glance at Flora. She was glaring at me with pursed lips. When her eyes met mine, she quickly looked away.
"So what on earth are you hiding from me?" Sylvia asked crossly. "You can't hide it forever. I'll find out sooner or later."
"Well..."
Flora and I spoke at the same time and exchanged glances.
"Someone's dragging your name through the mud on the Internet," Flora said softly, lowering her head guiltily.
I coughed and added, "The day we were trapped in the equipment room, someone had planted a camera in it. Although nothing really happened between you and me, someone still posted suggestive screenshots on the Internet. In fact, our faces couldn't be seen clearly in the pictures, but whoever posted it specially provided your name. Now everyone's talking about you."
Sylvia frowned. "On the school forum?"
I nodded and took out my phone. "I've managed to delete the original post, but whoever posted it originally must've hired other people to spread the post. The post itself was forwarded countless times as soon as it was released. There are so many of them that we couldn't delete them all. In order to delete all the forwarded posts, we would have to close the forum temporarily, but I don't have the authority to do so." Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
I sighed and felt helpless. At Alina's request, I really couldn't tell others that it was Alina who was behind all of this. But we had tried to stop it. Even Alina herself didn't expect that the post would spread so fast. It was almost as though there was someone else who was deliberately adding fuel to the fire.
