Stay Around You Now And Forever novel (Hunter Jackson) novel Chapter 95

It was forty minutes past eleven, and Emily rushed out of the school building after packing up her stuff the moment her class ended.

 

When she had just taken a few steps out of the building, something was hurled towards her.

 

Emily was alert enough to dodge that incoming object by darting sideways, but she couldn't keep herself completely unaffected by that thing.

 

It turned out to be water but not some acidic substance which could disfigure someone's face.

 

She glared at three people who were standing on the side, “What do you mean by this?”

 

“I don't mean anything by doing this, it's just that the weather is too hot, and we're spraying water to cool down the air. Who knows that you would be in our way?”

 

The girl who was holding the pail retorted with her own reasoning.

 

“You're the one who doesn't know what's good for yourself; everybody knows that we're spraying water here so they have left this space. You, on the other hand, barge in just like that.”

 

The other two girls behind giggled as they added, “You're right, how can someone be so stupid? You're getting sprayed by water we used to wash our legs, haha...”

 

There was a crowd of onlookers nearby them but nobody was thinking to intervene. They were just interested to see how things would develop, so they could enjoy themselves.

 

Emily clenched her fists while sweeping her icy glare at the three of them. Then, she bit her lips and stomped towards the school gate.

 

But before she could cover any ground, she was stopped by a girl abruptly.

 

“Stop right there, you ugly duckling. Do you think you can just run off like this after bullying someone?”

 

One of the girls next to her immediately stumbled to the ground as she started to moan, “This is so painful! Emily, why did you hit me?”

 

Emily had a new perception on these girls after hearing that. They were so good in acting, why don't they all become actresses? This was a sudden occurrence; she didn't know she could bully someone when she's just passing by here minding her own business.

 

Some of the onlookers immediately understood that these girls were trying to frame Emily! But as the numbers of onlookers increase, many more were unaware of the truth surrounding this commotion.

 

They only saw a girl who was wailing and moaning on the ground, and Emily the ugly girl was being halted by them. It pretty much looked like Emily was trying to run away after hitting someone but she was caught.

 

“What do you want?” Emily stared at these girls in front of her while asking flatly.

 

“You have bullied someone, so you need to apologize!”

 

“Cici, you have to get her to pay for my medical expenses.” The moaning girl scoffed.

 

The girl named Cici immediately agreed, “Right, you need to apologize to me and pay her medical fees!”

 

Emily glanced sideways at the girl on the ground before shifting her gaze on Cici. She laughed coldly, “Did I touch him anywhere? Pay her medical fees? Why don't you become a robber instead?”

 

“Emily, you have hit someone yet you're still being arrogant here!”

 

The girl who was on the ground clutched her stomach and her face was distorted now, “I feel so painful...”

 

The onlookers started to criticize Emily, “She has gone too far.”

 

“Yes, how could she hit someone in the school compound? She's being too arrogant!”

 

“Really? She doesn't look exactly... pleasing to the eyes, but you said that someone is providing for her livelinood?”

 

“Didn't you watch Sally's live stream two days ago? There was a guy who appeared with Emily, but his face was hidden.”

 

“I remember him now after you said that. Gosh, that guy has a nice voice. I have repeated that part over and over again.”

 

“Too bad that guy is an old geezer...”

 

At this moment, the topic surrounding Emily and the old geezer was reignited among the crowd.

 

Cici glared at Emily while shouting, “Don't you think you can always have your way even though you have a rich person backing you up.”

 

“You're right; she has teamed up with that rich guy last time and forced Amy to leave behind such a live stream. She has 

made Amy into a bad person who's despised by others.”

 

Another girl chipped in loudly, “Nobody knew that it was that guy who had forced Amy to start that live stream.”

 

“Of course I know what you're talking about, I was just outside that place last time, but I didn't dare to get in that place 

considering that there's a lot of brawlers standing guard there. They would hit anyone who defies them!”

 

Cici was saying everything with indignation, and her gaze was boring a hole in Emily as if she wanted to tear Emily into pieces.

 

“Does she think she's so great? I can't believe that she would bring so many brawlers and force Amy to record a live stream as well as beating her up. I have seen those things happening with my own eyes!”

 

This ordeal had happened so suddenly so Emily wouldn't have any chance to start a live stream or record their voices. 

 

Therefore, Cici and the other two girls were not afraid of leaving behind any evidence that could be used against them.

 

“Do you dare to repeat what you said just now?" Emily produced her mobile phone while warning her.

 

But immediately, Cici threw a slap in her way and Emily couldn't dodge her. Her phone had dropped to the ground.

 

“She's going to call her old geezer again. She's plotting to hurt someone again!”

 

The onlookers were initially watching how these girls were planning to slander Emily, but after they heard this sentence, they started to feel disgusted by Emily. It seemed like that incident about Amy being forced to live stream was real.

 

Someone had taken some photos and even videos to prove Amy's innocence.

 

They were feeling sorry and indignant for Amy.

 

But, Emily knew the truth very well. Amy was the one who was behind all of these. She was not the smart type usually, but this time she had really come up with a smart plan.

 

The whole incident looked like it was planned by someone formidable. It was none other than Wendy who was backing Amy up.

 

Emily had to admit that Amy was winning this war. Amy could even turn things around in her favor judging by how things were developing.

 

This was a great move by her!

 

“Emily, what more do you want to say about this?” Cici took a step forward.

 

To her surprise, Emily didn't move an inch. She didn't even flinch and back off from her.

 

Cici was a little surprised by her reaction. She thought that since everybody was hating on her now, this ugly girl should have some fear embedded in her heart by now.

 

But the truth was that she had some guts even though she was ugly!

 

Emily continued to stare at her while replying faintly, “You have said everything without giving me a chance to refute, so what do you expect me to say now?”

 

“Does that mean you have admitted that you'd brought a lot of brawlers and forced Amy to live stream so that you could help your friend restore his reputation?”

“I don’t admit that”. Emily suddenly took a step forward while gazing at her sharply , Her icy glare sent a chill running down her spine.

“It's a crime to bring so many brawlers and hit someone in the hospital. We should report this to the police!”

 

“You...”

 

“Bentson City is ruled according to law, so of course such a thing wouldn't be allow to happen. I hope you can call the police now. If you don't want to do it, let me do it”

 

She took another step forward and this time Cici staggered backwards as if she was intimidated by her.

 

“My phone is damaged by you too, what about you call the police now? I can use this chance to let them prove my innocence too since I've never done any of those things.”

 

“Otherwise, if you keep on spouting nonsense like this with your mouth, how many more will jump off buildings because they are framed by you”

 

She continued to press forward, and Cici continued to stagger backwards in response.

 

As everybody saw that Emily was looking relaxed, someone finally whispered, “Actually, she didn't touch those girls at all. 

That girl fell to the ground by herself.”

 

“Yes, I also saw Emily almost get herself splashed with water by them.”

 

Of course, there was a faction in the crowd who were standing by Amy and Cici's side.

 

“Cici, don't be scared of her, just call the police. She hit someone anyway!”

 

“You're right; we can be your witnesses, so you don't have anything to be afraid of.”

 

“Yes, we are all witnesses, what are you scared of?”

 

Emily lifted the corner of her mouth as she scanned the crowd, “Hey, which of you has seen me actually pushing her to the ground just now” She pointed at that girt on the ground who was still clutching her stomach.

 

“if I have really pushed her, there should be my fingerprints on her body. Which of you actually seen me pushing her with your bare eyes? If any of you could prove that I have pushed her, t will reward that person with one hundred thousand Yuan!"
