"Mr. Beckett, we have dealt with the three students per your and Madam Alyssa's orders. The family company of one student was on the brink of bankruptcy after getting embroiled in sscandals, including questionable product quality. The police followed the trail of evidence and uncovered criminal evidence against his father, who was arrested this morning.
"Another student was found to hire prostitutes, organize group sex, and have a penchant for BDSM. | made someone else distribute his photos and videos online from an overseas IP. Netizens are now 'enjoying' his works.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI'm afraid his father's political career has met an end because of his scandal," Xavier reported with enthusiasm.
Jasper nodded in satisfaction. "How about the remaining student?" "Well..." After a pause, Xavier lowered his voice, "The third student suffered the worst fate. From what | heard, he had been abducted. He was later found with ten or so slash wounds on his body, but none was fatal. He was castrated by the abductors as well.
"He was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment, but his current condition remains unknown. Anyway, | was told that he was basically crippled even if the hospital managed to save his life." With a frown, Alyssa cast a loaded look at Jasper. Jasper's expression darkened. He questioned, "You didn't do that, did you?" "Of course not! | could barely kill a turkey for Thanksgiving. | could never do something nasty like that." After sthinking, Xavier surmised, "I went investigating at the school and learned that men from the Harper Group went to the academy on the second day of the incident to copy the security footage.
"The security footage was supposed to be confidential, but the chancellor couldn't afford to upset the Harper Group, which had sponsored their newest library. So, the academy turned in the footage without a fuss. | believe that Mr. Landon probably saw something that made him lay a finger on that third student." Alyssa and Jasper finally connected the dots. Indeed, it was Landon's style to make his enemy suffer a worse fate than death.
Since there was time, Alyssa and Jasper decided to visit Lauren and update her about their successful revenge for Joanna.
"Is it true? Have Joanna's bullies been punished?" Sitting between Alyssa and Jasper like an excited young girl, Lauren grabbed their arms. "That's awesome! Evil needs to be punished. Mr. Whitman will be at peace knowing that | kept my word to avenge Joanna." "Lauren, you're just like me. You are a woman of your word. You're a heroine!" Alyssa rubbed her head against Lauren's.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJasper watched them with a gentle smile on his lips. Putting aside Lauren's age and height, she felt more like a daughter to Jasper with her childlike and innocent mindset.
"Alyssa, who took the revenge? Was it Cyrus?" Lauren blinked at Alyssa. The latter exchanged a look with Jasper upon hearing Cyrus' name. How should they answer Lauren? They had been entrusted by Cyrus to take revenge, but ultimately, they—and Landon—were the ones taking action against the three bullies. They wondered if they'd disappoint Lauren by telling her the truth, as she seemed to hold Cyrus in high regard.
Unfortunately, Lauren mistook their hesitation as silent admission.
"Wow! It was Cyrus' work, wasn't it? Cyrus is awesome!" Smiling widely, Lauren started clapping. "I knew Cyrus would keep his promise to me. He's wonderful!" At that moment, she heard heavy footsteps approaching. She looked up and met Landon's eyes. Instead of eagerly throwing herself at him like she used to, she hung her head like a guilty child. She clasped her hands so tightly that they reddened.
She thought, "Landon must have heardtalking about Cyrus. | know he hates Cyrus the most, so he must be angry atnow." A moody look flashed across Landon's eyes, but it vanished in no time. He soon smiled at them. "Jasper, Lyse, you're here."
