Chapter 54 Meeting Again
Chapter 54 Meeting Again
After Mandy apologized, she immediately rushed out of the crowd and left in shame and anger.
The crowd dispersed with the ringing of the bell. Bill walked to Euralia and caressed her head to comfort her.
"I will look into this case thoroughly." The reason why he said so was that he wanted to do something to Mandy.
He couldn't stand it when Mandy set her up again and again.
"Bill, just let it go." Euralia would work off her anger if he did that. At the same time, she didn't have the heart to hurt Mandy. If her brother got involved in this matter, it would not be as simple as quarreling.
"She treated you like this, you shouldn't bear with it." This time, Bill didn't want to follow her will anymore.
"No matter how hard our relationship was, we were friends in the past. And I still want her to be safe and sound."
"Euralia, aren't you afraid that your tolerance would get you hurt in return?" He could not understand her choice.
"Bill, you have been tolerating me for a long time. But I'm even more wayward and said something to hurt you. Why are you still so nice to me?"
He was totally speechless when he heard that.
"Please let go of Mandy!" She begged again.
"This is the last time. If she dares to do it again, I won't spare her." In the end, he respected her decision and left the school for the company.
With a helpless sigh, Euralia turned around and walked to the classroom.
Following behind her closely, Lily didn't dare to come forward. Although she had apologized, Euralia didn't accept it personally.
"Lily, let's go together." Seeing her following, Euralia stopped and asked her to go to the classroom with her.
Lily immediately walked forward and they entered the classroom together. Mandy's seat was empty. The other students didn't look at Euralia strangely anymore. It seemed that they had realized that they misunderstood her.
Today, Euralia regained her quiet study life. Without other people's discussions, she was in a better mood.
The broken friendship reminded her of her friend, Cale Xia. Unfortunately, he was abroad and seldom met her. They had not been in touch for a long time.
Lost in her thought again, she didn't listen to the lesson. In the afternoon, when she tried on the experimental operation according what the lesson taught in the morning, she had failed for several times.
She couldn't finish the experiment herself even after the class was over, so the teacher asked her to stay.
Lily had already passed the experiment, so she offered to stay for help, but she was refused by the teacher.
In the end, Euralia had no choice but to repeat the contents of the experiment in the lab, but she failed again and again, which frustrated her.
Fortunately, she had called Bill and told him that she had an appointment after school, and he didn't have to pick her up. Otherwise, he might have called and put pressure on the teacher to let her go home at this time.
It was not her style to be treated by this kind of special treatment. So she tried not to tell her brother what had happened to her in the school. She just wanted to complete the assignment on her own.
As the sky went dark, Euralia finally completed the experiment.
When she left the school, the taxi outside the school gate had already disappeared. So she had to take the bus alone to her home.
There were not many passengers on the bus. She sat down and unwittingly fell asleep. When she woke up, she found that she had already missed the bus stop.
She got off in a hurry and checked the bus routes at the station. What was worse, the bus had already been off duty at this time.
"Where are you going, miss?" Several men who got out of the car with her earlier stared at her with disdain.
Feeling their unkindness, Euralia didn't speak to them. She headed for another bus stop. Unexpectedly, those men also followed her.
She quickened her pace. There were few cars on the road, nor any pedestrians. She was a little nervous since those men kept following her closely.
In a few seconds, she arrived at another bus stop. But the result was the same. It was already past the time of the last bus, and there was no taxi here.
But she didn't want to stay here any longer, because she had a bad feeling when the eyes of these men were fixed on her.
A man grabbed her shoulder before she could step forward.
"It's getting dark. Do you need us to escort you home?"
At the first sight of them, Euralia felt that they were not good people. Now, he was even going to touch her. By instinct, she shrugged and got rid of his hand.
"No need."
Her voice was cold with disgust.
"You are so ungrateful. Watch your tone." Another man said in an arrogant tone. Apparently, he was not satisfied with Euralia's response.
She snorted and continued walking.
"You want to leave? No way!" The man with an arrogant tone stepped forward and blocked her way.
"Get out of my way. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you." She said with great vigilance.
"What if we don't?" The two men behind rushed forward and surrounded her.
There was cold sweat in her palms. At this moment, she was only a weak girl, so she was no match for all of them. There were no passers-by around. If they came to her, she would be caught.
"What do you want to do? I'll call the police." She warned them.
"You want to call the police? How can you call the police?" The man retorted complacently.
Euralia immediately reached for her phone, but it was gone.
"Are you looking for your cell phone?" She saw that the phone was already in the man's hand. They had stolen her phone while she was asleep on the bus.
"How dare you steal!" Now, Euralia was more certain that these men were planning on something.
"So what?" The man, with the phone in his hand, kept stepping towards her. She kept stepping back.
"Don't get close to me! Go away!" At that moment, the only thought in her mind was to escape.
While retreating, she also looked for the best time to run away. But at this moment, two other men grabbed her arms and pressed her.
She tried her best to struggle, but the more she tried, the more painful her arms were because of their grip.
"Girl, if you make us happy tonight, we can treat you nicely." The man smashed her phone on the ground and broke it into two parts. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Without her cell phone, there was nothing she could do in this deserted place.
"Fuck off! Don't touch me." She shouted loudly, hoping someone could hear her and help her out.
One of the men's restless hand had touched her shoulder from her arm, which made her flesh creep.
"You have a taste! Look at her figure!" Another man added.
"No! Go away!" Tears of despair welled up in her eyes. Her call for help was useless. There was no pedestrian at all. What should she do?
As a disgusting pair of hands approached her, she used her most powerful skill again and kicked the man hard in his legs.
The sudden attack did work. The man growled in pain, covering his private part with his hands.
Her behavior irritated them, and they immediately pushed her to the ground.
"Bitch, how dare you hit back! We'll let you know the consequence of disobedience tonight." Two men came up at the same time, and one of them held her knees.
"You bastards, get out!" On the verge of despair, Euralia felt extremely disgusted when she saw the man's face.
All of a sudden, from the man's right, a fist hit towards his face. The man was caught off guard and fell to the ground.
"How dare you bully Euralia!" John showed up in front of her in a heroic manner.
"John!" Seeing the glimmer of hope, she wept with joy.
"I will take you back after I get rid of them."
He beat the three rascals up and they ran away as fast as they could. Euralia saw all of that and was finally saved by him.
Since when has John become so powerful? She was puzzled inside.
John came over and helped her up, checking if she was okay.
"John, what are you doing here?" Euralia was more confused than surprised.
"Yeah, I'm just passing by. Maybe it's telepathy. You seem to be thinner than before." He held her into his arms.
Euralia was very happy. The joy of reunion after a long separation made her temporarily forget her doubts. She did not expect that he was still so concerned about her.
"Fortunately, you're here. Otherwise, my reputation will be ruined." She said injuredly, burying her head in his arms.
"Be careful when you walk alone at night. I can't stay with you right now because your brother will definitely figure out a way to separate us."
"Then when will you be with me all the time?" She pushed him away with displeasure.
"Just hold on for a little longer. I will take you away sooner or later." He comforted her.
"You mean to take me away? And leave my house?" Although Euralia was not satisfied with what Bill had done to her, she knew his brother was also nice to her.
She thought John would convince her brother. She didn't expect him to elope with her!
"Well, don't you want to leave and marry me?" She didn't have the heart to refuse or hurt John when she saw his sincere eyes.
"No, it's not like that. We'll talk about it later. My brother might agree to let us get together some day in the future." Without giving him an answer, she could only put it off temporarily.
Bill had raised her for twelve years, and she was not heartless enough to abandon him for love. Besides, her brother has treated her as well as John these years.
"Euralia, you seem to have changed." John's face changed dramatically.
"No. John, don't think too much. When you asked me to marry you, I didn't hesitate." She didn't want to see him sad.
"Well, I will drive you back first. Don't tell your brother that we have met. Otherwise, he will think of ways to separate us again."
Euralia nodded. In fact, she didn't like what he said about Bill. Although her brother was a little radical, he was all for her good.
She didn't want to hurt either of them. What she could do now was to stall for time and play it by ear.
After sending her home, John left in a hurry. Euralia even didn't have a chance to talk to him. She was a little disappointed. On the way, she heard him talking about their marriage.
But he didn't say a word about whether she was frightened just now, nor did he ask about whether the wound on her body hurt.
However, she was very happy to see him again, and the displeasure in her heart was just for a moment.
