The students around all sneered at Chuck. Some even cursed at him directly. Lara was furious to see them degrade Chuck in such shameless ways.
But at the same time, she felt guilty because she was the one who had forced Chuck to report that he had found a sum of money back then. In addition, she was responsible for saying that Chuck didn't return the money to the owner.
"I'm sorry," Lara whispered to Chuck.
Chuck looked down at her and said nothing. He just sighed quietly. Lara was no longer the shrew she used to be if she would actually apologize to him.
Chuck thought that he had heard wrongly.
"Hey, are you standing up for this loser girl? Are you even worthy to do so?" Glynis came over and was ready to ridicule them further. She didn't know martial arts, but she was sure that Chuck wouldn't dare to be arrogant in front of her because of her stout figure.
Many men were no match for her.
Thus, she regarded Chuck as a 'skinny man'.
As long as she was unhappy, she would definitely slap Chuck.
"What did you say? It's you who are not worthy!" Lara's irritation flared and she rebuked on Chuck's behalf. Chuck coming over to her side at this time caused Lara to feel touched. She even wanted to kiss Chuck right away to thank him.
But she was afraid that Chuck would refuse and she would embarrass herself in front of so many people.
"I'm not worthy? Hahaha!"
Glynis laughed at her. She then said with disgust, "Just now, the seniors mentioned that this loser didn't return the money he had found. Exactly how poor and cheap is he? How shameless is he that he would do such a thing? If a loser like him tried to talk to me, I would feel repulsed!"
"Yes, so would I. What kind of person is he? Why didn't he return the money? It could've been someone's living expenses for a month and they lost it because of him. How shameless. I can't believe there is such a person like you in our school. I'm disappointed," a male student was bitter and hateful as he spoke, and his face was full of disgust when looking at Chuck.
"That's right. If I were him, I would have pulled myself up by my bootstraps. How dare he try to be pretentious and show his face now? How could such a coward exist?"
The other students were full of sarcasm. In their eyes, Chuck was beyond disgusting.
"You are so shameless! There are so many students criticizing you, but you still remain calm. I can only imagine how many nasty things you have done in the past. You are so bold!" Glynis continued to speak as she stared at Chuck unhappily. She had a strong urge to slap Chuck.
She found his face very annoying.
"Chuck didn't find any money. It was a misunderstanding!" Lara said loudly and clarified the situation for Chuck.
"Yes, I can also testify that Chuck didn't do what you said he did," Queenie added. She was also a little angry. These people spoke without understanding the situation, and even Queenie, who used to have self-restraint, wanted to swear at them.
"Oh, so he's innocent now? Isn't it too late?" Glynis sneered, "Do you think we're stupid? Look at him. He's used to being poor. How could he not hide the money in his arms when he found it? Everyone's eyes are sharp. If everyone says he's shameless, then he's shameless! It's useless to defend him!"
The other students who were watching also sneered as they thought, "They are truly shameless. Why are they still trying to argue? No one will believe you!"
The mockery on Aaron's face was even more evident as he wondered, what kind of person was Chuck? Why didn't he return the money? This kind of loser should just rot in h*ll!
"He doesn't need to be defended. He is much richer than all of you. Why does he have to keep the money he found?" Lara seethed and was particularly angry. If it weren't for the fact that Glynis was over-weighed, Lara would have slapped her.
"Haha! What nonsense are you talking about?" The student mocked instantly.
"You said that he didn't find any money, and later you say that he is very rich and wouldn't need to do that. You are lying, aren't you?"
"Are you saying that he's rich? This is the biggest joke I have ever heard in my life. Look at his clothes. What kind of sh*t is he wearing? It has been worn for so many years, right? If it were me, I would have to discard it long ago."
"Me too. Look, did this guy pick his clothes from a dumpster?"
"Haha, I think so!"
Many of these students were unfamiliar with Chuck. Most of them were freshmen. Thus, it was natural that they would side with Aaron, who was also a freshman.
