Zachary was completely speechless by her utter nonchalance.
He couldn’t help but frown as he looked at Hannah and asked, "Don't you care about what others say about you?"
Since he had taken the time to scroll through the comment section, he was so choked with anger that the only thing stopping him from strangling the mastermind was the law.
Hannah was still joking around with her younger brothers as she replied, "I don't care at all about what others say about me behind my back! I've also said my fair share! If they insult me, it's because they're nuts. Why would they bother insulting me if they’ve got something better to do?"
Zachary felt the corner of his mouth twitching as he questioned, "What about when you insult others?"
Hannah responded, "When I insult others, it's still because they're the problem! Why would I insult them instead of others if they weren't the problem?"
Zachary, Drake, and Josh were all left speechless.
There was nothing else to say besides the fact that her mental fortitude was indeed commendable.
Lilly was waiting.
She had given three people a chance. The first one was, of course, the student who tattled.
Another was the person involved in this scandal and the victim in the video.
The truth of the matter was that the real bully had threatened the victim to lend him some money.
Naturally, anyone with eyes could tell that they weren’t going to return the money. Instead, those people would 'borrow' from the victim whenever they felt like it.
In plain words, it was a robbery.
After Hannah found out, she confronted them and gave them a beating. Finally, she grabbed the collar of their leader and made him hand over the money.
That was the complete cause of the incident.
The video started spreading in every class group. So, Lilly had reminded the tattletale that spreading rumors was illegal.
It was more than obvious he didn't take it to heart.
Then, there were the ones who got beaten up. The matter had blown up so much that it seemed they had no intention of explaining their part in it. If she were to hazard a guess, she would say they were probably secretly happy about this.
Finally, there was the victim...
Lilly looked at the video for a long time and let out a long sigh. It seemed that she would have to end things herself. So, she prepared to post the complete video she had in her hand.
It was then that she finally saw the 'turnaround' she had been waiting for. The victim stood up and said that it was someone who had robbed his money. Meanwhile, Hannah was just helping him get it back when she saw the injustice occur.
Lilly finally smiled and said, "Good, you didn't disappoint me."
Lilly inexplicably thought of Michael as she looked at the meek boy speaking with his head down and not daring to look at the camera.
After this boy stood up and spoke, many people quickly commented on his post!
They didn't believe what he said at all. Instead, they all claimed that the rich kid didn’t dare to own up for her mistake and had paid a classmate to make up stories to clear her name!
'Do they think we're blind! The boy who was beaten in the original video was so miserable. I’m certain that this girl’s a bully through and through!'
'What's so great about having some filthy money! Paying a classmate to slander the victim?! Clodston police, you’d better start looking into this and give the victim the justice he deserves!'
