Humpty answered swiftly, “Aunt Ruby, I’ve heard the reason from that blondie.”
“Zeke told him you had been too harsh on him when he was in school. Because of your scolding, he held a grudge and plotted to ruin your life.”
“Oh, right. Not only that, but he also said that when he finally takes Summer’s virginity and gets bored of playing with her, he’ll let the blondie play with her. Then when the blondie’s bored of her, he’ll force Summer to become a KTV escort. He wants to destroy your family!”
“Blondie, did he say it like that? If you’re honest, I can handle this leniently.”
“I admit that what Mr. Charlie says is true,” the blondie replied.
“Mr. Charlie, have mercy on me. Spare me this time. I really cannot go to jail...”
All of a sudden, the headmistress rushed back into a classroom as if she had just remembered something.
Not long after, she walked out with a drawing in her hand.
The drawing was clumsy and childish. Everyone could tell it was a child’s drawing at first glance.
In the drawing, there were two men and a woman holding a little girl’s hands and smiling.
The headmistress explained, “I asked the children to draw their own families and his daughter Sharon came up with this drawing. His daughter told me she has two fathers and a mother.”
“Hmph, from what I see, Williams is sharing his woman to another man for money or power. A man who has such a messy relationship like this has no qualms about selling Summer to the KTV,” She sneered.
The crowd went nuts when they heard this. Two men and a woman... such explosive news!
Ruby’s teeth were almost crushed by how hard she was gritting them.
“Williams, you ba****d! You’re an animal! Wasn’t I harsh on you at school because I wished for you to have a promising future?” She screamed.
“It seems that I have set expectations that were too high of you. An ex-convict should stay in prison forever. No matter how much education they receive, a leopard cannot change its spots. I don’t care if you take revenge on me, but trying to ruin my daughter’s life... To think that I was going to let my daughter marry you before. I really am blind!” Ruby yelled angrily.
Summer’s face also displayed a look of dismay, and her eyes were slightly red.
Although she trusted Zeke, everything the blondie said was backed-up by proof and facts, making her believe his words to a certain extent.
The surrounding crowd also joined in on the crusade against Zeke.
“This type of person should be lynched to death. He’s not just disrespecting a teacher, but also wants to destroy the teacher’s family.”
“How cruel is this man? We should keep our distance from someone like him. He’s vindictive and might even come after us.”
“Like father like daughter. There’s something wrong with the way he does things. I wouldn’t be surprised if his daughter were to pick up on his habits.”
“My son’s school supplies have been missing for the past couple of days. I seriously suspect that it’s his daughter who has been stealing them.”
Facing the mob’s accusations, Zeke laughed instead of getting angry.
“Anything else, Humpty?”
Humpty was puzzled, “What do you mean anything else?”
Zeke shook his head, visibly disappointed. “Seems like that’s all you can do.”
“It’s my turn now. Come out.”
The crowd was baffled. What the hell is this guy doing?
A buck-toothed man emerged from the crowd in an instant.
This buck-toothed man was precisely the man who was trying to snatch the Whiteridge project away from Sofia - Teeth.
He was the man who had personally confessed to Zeke about how Humpty had colluded with him to frame Ruby.
When Humpty saw Teeth, he froze dead in his tracks.
Damn it! Why is Teeth here?
Don’t tell me he was summoned by Williams.
Did he defect to Zeke’s side?
No no no, it must be a coincidence.
Teeth is a notorious tyrant in the Riverdale District. Why would he submit to a factory worker like Zeke Williams?
Coincidence, it must be 100% a coincidence.
