After the two intros, Xyla began with her performance of the opera song, ‘Carmen’. But as soon as she sang, she saw the list of vicious comments that were attacking the live comment section.
‘I heard that Richard has a venereal disease! Is it true? Maybe Xyla contracted it too. A Miss Misty with a venereal disease—how startling!’
‘Mister Playboy, where can I get on the bus to Richard Harper-Ella Spencer’s stop?’
‘I have a fleet of buses to every station, except for that particular station!’
With a choking voice, Xyla could no longer make any sound. The microphone spread her trembling sobs throughout the hall.
Oh! How humiliating it is for me to still be standing on the stage now! Why is this happening to me?
Richard had also taken a glance at the comments. The rhythm flowing from his fingers stopped abruptly, and he stood up. After grabbing the microphone from Xyla, Richard shouted into the microphone with a croaking voice, “Sophia Edwards, is this what you wanted? What will you gain from ruining me like this? You evil woman, you will not die in peace!”
The situation was out of control. In order to avoid any further discomfort, the vice chancellor immediately informed the police officers to take Richard and Xyla away. Under the watchful eyes of thousands of people, the police officers dashed up on to the stage and brought both of them away.
The audience was in a turmoil. Xyla was looking desperate; even her figure was tremoring.
She was the daughter of the Huffs and was now being taken away by the police during a live broadcast!
On the other side, Richard was still grudging. Even though he was being held down by the police officers, he growled, “Sophia Edwards, you b*itch! Come on out! Why are you always going against me?”
Richard was infuriated. He had suddenly become so powerful that he shoved the two police officers away from him before darting like a mad dog toward Sophia, who was in the audience.
The contestants who had ended their performance had special viewing seats at one side of the stage. When Richard suddenly rushed over, the girls on the side were shocked and scattered away. The moment he came up to Sophia, he gave her two vicious slaps.
Half of her face was swollen, but she did not resist.
Sophia spat out a mouthful of blood and grinned, revealing her bloody teeth. “What are you doing? You have got nothing to lose now, huh? With the slap you just gave me, I can sue you to the gills!”
In response, Richard laughed maniacally. “I won’t let you go easily if you don’t give me a way out today!”
Raising his fist, Richard was about to drop the second punch, but Sophia had been calculating the best time to attack; she wanted to minimize her own injuries but also make sure that she would have a better claim when she filed a lawsuit. What she had not expected was the figure that had appeared behind Richard in a flash. The shadow’s palm dropped and grabbed onto Richard’s wrist, squeezing it aggressively.
“Ahhh!” Richard’s screams extended to the whole hall.
This huge change happened without any warning. No one had imagined that something like this would happen at the Miss Misty Pageant, so everyone was so shocked that they had forgotten how to speak for a while.
The figure had restrained Richard single-handedly. It reached out another hand and caught Richard’s other hand like lightning. With a beautiful over-shoulder throw, Richard was smashed onto the ground with a slam before a nice-looking black leather shoe stretched out and kicked him on his waist. After sliding several meters along the flat surface of the stage, Richard stopped right in front of the police officers.
The police officers held down the dizzy Richard in an instant.
He had made a serious offence by destroying a dress worth 100,000, assaulting police officers, and even hitting others in public!
Raising his head, the flustered Richard looked at the figure and saw the star-studded man in a fitted suit, wearing gold-framed glasses. Due to the fight just now, his suit was slightly messy. Shrugging his suit, the man turned around and walked away, leaving Richard with a striking back view.
Heh, so it’s Taylor, whose reputation has been ruined by me so many times but still manages to have so many fans supporting him!
Clenching his teeth, Richard had once again found the strength to set himself free from the police officers. As he raised his fist, he sprinted toward Michael.
The audience cried out.
