If Timothy wanted to do something, the deputy mayor didn’t think he could stop him in any way.
He only wished that he could survive.
“You were fine at noon, but shortly after you came back to campus, your arm was disabled. What happened?” Timothy asked with obvious displeasure.
Rylee corrected him in a low voice, “Mr. Wheeler, my arm isn’t disabled yet.”
Timothy gritted his teeth in anger.
He just wished Rylee, the silly girl, to shush.
He turned to cast a helpless glance at Rylee.
The latter flinched and dared not utter a beep again.
Timothy rubbed his eyebrows, in quite an elegant manner to be honest. He asked, “What happened to your arm? If none of them has witnessed what happened... It’s alright. I like to do things fairly. Since this girls’ arm has been injured, I would like every one of you to have a disabled arm, just like her.”
Others inhaled.
They couldn’t believe what they had heard.
How could this gorgeous man speak such ruthless words with a smile?
He asked them all to disable an arm.
Timothy straightened his suit and stood upright. His slender shape looked so amazing. With an aloof look, he said in a heartless tone, “My men would start helping you disable your arms now. They might be a bit rude. Please don’t mind...”
A girl rolled her eyes in fear.
Another student blacked out directly.
“I know! I know what happened!” a boy answered while raising his hand, just like a student in class about to answer a question.
Timothy looked at him expressionlessly and said, “Go ahead.”
“During the rehearsal, the plastic lamp fell on Rylee’s arm. That’s all.”
The boy’s voice kept trembling. Evidently, he was so frightened.
Timothy raised his brows and squinted, “Armand, find me the person who’s in charge of the props.”
“Yes, Boss.”
Armand waved at the bodyguards. More than a dozen muscular men trotted out.
Daphne shivered in Caroline’s arms, her upper and lower teeth clicking.
Seeing that Daphne paled and couldn’t breathe, Caroline whispered, “Daphne, what happened to you? Are you alright? Don’t scare me.”
“I... I... I can’t breathe...” Daphne was like a fish without water.
Brook checked on Daphne anxiously and begged Timothy, “President Wheeler... My daughter isn’t feeling well. Can we leave first? I want to send her to the hospital.”
Timothy had keen eyes. With only a single glimpse of Daphne, he could see the trace of fear and guilt in her eyes.
He sneered. “Not feeling well? Did she do anything wrong, so she is so scared?”
Daphne’s eyes widened in fear.
She trembled as if she had cramps.
Brook begged again, “President Wheeler, please. Daphne seemed to be quite sick now...”
“Isn’t the unlucky girl with the disabled arm your daughter?” Timothy asked straight to the point.
Brook was taken aback. He nodded. “Yes. Rylee is also my daughter. She is.”
“Your daughter’s arm is about to disable, but you don’t care about her at all, do you? Mr. Carroll, you’ll be punished by God if you don't take the responsibility for your family. Understand?”
Brook paled instantly. He looked at Rylee in panic, “Rylee, is your arm all right? I can take you to the hospital for a checkup...”
Rylee stood up instantly, tears welling up in her eyes. “I’m fine. You’d better care about your darling Daphne.”
Not until being reminded by others did Brook think of her, who was also his daughter. Rylee felt so upset about this.
After that, Rylee ignored Timothy and Brook and rushed to the door.
Timothy frowned at her.
The muscular bodyguards immediately made their way for her, letting Rylee pass.
Kenneth tiptoed and whispered in Timothy’s ear, “According to my experience with women, although you wanted to save the girl, she was actually offended by it.”
Timothy frowned at Kenneth.
He cursed and pushed Kenneth away, striding out to catch up with Rylee.
Kenneth snickered. Then he said ironically to others, “What’s wrong with you? I donated to this program. How can the performer be bullied? Do you want to insult me? Boss is anger now, Armand. We must look into this matter today.”
Armand answered, “Yes, Mr. Keith.”
Daphne let out a sad cry and fainted.
Caroline exclaimed. Brook and his family sent Daphne to the hospital in a hurry.
