Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)
Chapter 1537 Consequences

When the full video was released, it naturally caused a stir across the internet.

'Plot twist! Oh my God!'

'I felt sorry for the boy who was severely beaten and even thought that the girl was too violent! Now, I realize she was justified in beating him black and blue!'

'In my opinion, none of them are good. How can a girl who fights be considered good?'

Although the misunderstanding about Hannah robbing others was cleared up, she was still labeled as a delinquent because of her fighting on campus.

"People are like mindless sheep. Before the truth comes out, they make wild guesses based on what they see. After the truth comes out, they think they have understood a new 'truth' and continue to make their assumptions."

Why do people constantly repeat the same mistakes over and over again?

Even though there was a trend to their flawed judgment, humans seemed to forget the consequences and continue making the same mistakes without paying the price.

Lilly saw through this matter completely in an instant.

The cause and effect, including the future when the dust would settle.

The tattletale, who was at home, felt uneasy!

Things had spiraled out of control on the internet. Now that the full video was available, he had received several comments asking him what was going on. Many people were asking him why he took things out of context if he recorded the video.

He could only say righteously, 'I don't know! Someone else sent it to me. How would I know there was a full version?'

Right, he didn't know!

He didn't do it on purpose! It was others who posted the incomplete version, which led him to misunderstand the situation!

After an uneasy weekend, he found that he was safe and sound. He was just fine, and it wasn't as Lilly had said when she claimed he would be arrested.

"Ha... It was just a threat!"

When the truth came out, where was she? Why didn't she get him arrested?

That's right. What evidence do they have that he was the one who posted the video?

On Monday, the tattletale went to school and immediately went to the teacher to clear up the 'misunderstanding,' saying, "Miss, a student sent me that video! I can't believe he would be so awful as to take things out of context. He made me think that Hannah Crawford was bullying others!"

The tattletale felt a little relieved. Nevertheless, he didn't hesitate to shift the blame onto others.

After all, it was others who posted the video. He just saved it while lurking in the group.

The teacher regarded the tattletale in front of her wearily.

"You're dismissed, and don't you badmouth your classmates anymore!" The teacher emphasized, "Especially when it concerns their future! How many times have I told you to focus on your studies? Do you stil want to go to college?! All of you are classmates! Why are you constantly trying to replace faults with others behind their backs!"

The tattletale was unhappy as he felt that the teacher didn't believe him.

Sadly, for him, this was just the beginning. When he returned to the classroom, his classmates looked at him with disdain and revulsion.

"Ugh, the snitch is here! He's always stabbing us behind the back! This time, he got so jealous of Lilly's perfect score that he deliberately went to tattle about her to the teacher!"

"How are we stuck in the same class as him? God, I feel like throwing up!"

Since they were still naive and idealistic teenagers, their worldview was very black-and-white.

Although Hannah was a fierce fighter and seemed like a delinquent, after watching the video, they discovered that Hannah was simply defending her bullied classmates.

So, even if she acted like a delinquent, she was a good person.

There wasn't anything inherently wrong with being a bit of a 'delinquent' if she wasn't involved in anything illegal!

On the contrary, the students tended to replace Hannah cool and down-to-earth after this incident.

Now, she was a role model among the girls as she didn't hesitate to fight like a knight instead of waiting like a damsel in distress.

The tattletale felt his face twisting into a ghastly scowl as he said snidely, "Wow, look at you, simps! She's a delinquent! Besides, this is a school, not a fighting ring! Shouldn't she be reported?! You mindless sheep make me sick. You'll flock to the nearest rich and powerful figure the second they appear! I'm different from you! I like it when you can't stand me but can't do anything about it!"

The tattletale was very smug. There was another reason why he loved his twisted little hobby: It would make his classmates fear him.

He liked this feeling!

He was just enjoying the blissful sense of power when he met Lilly's gaze again!

Lilly's lips curled slightly as though she was saying, 'I've already given you a chance.'

The tattletale suddenly felt uneasy.

He saw Lilly tapping her finger on the table, and suddenly, he felt a chill running down his spine.

The tattletale couldn't help but feel discomfited. Nevertheless, he looked straight into Lilly's eyes, refusing to back down as he thought she was simply bluffing and trying to scare him!

Alas, he heard the teacher say, "Peter Dross! There are people looking for you!"

The tattletale was arrested.

He didn't spend his time studying and had gone out of his way to spread malicious rumors about his classmates. To make matters worse, the video he forwarded out of context has been viewed over 10 million times.

"I-I didn't know anything!" Peter, the notorious snitch, sobbed uncontrollably inside the detainment center, filled with regret. "I didn't know it would end up like this..."

He was overwhelmed with panic.

Are they really arresting me?!

"I-It wasn't me. I... Officer, I want to report! It was another student who first posted the video! I wouldn't have been misled if he posted the full video! He did it on purpose."

Alas, it didn't matter how he tried to defend himself, as there was no way he would get out of this unscathed.

The legal department of the Crawford family wasn't just for show! They had already collected all the evidence and had it all notarized. The tattletale was under 16. Therefore, he couldn't be sent to prison. Nevertheless, he could be shipped off to the next best thing.

He was sent to a juvenile detention center.

Moreover, defamation was a criminal offense. It was enough to leave a criminal record that would follow him until his death. His chances of passing any civil service exams in the future were completely gone. When the tattletale's mother learned of the verdict, she wailed and made a scene at the school gate, shrieking, "God, why have you forsaken me?! My son just reported some bad things to the teacher. Yet, you're trying to ruin him! He just made a small mistake. He didn't even know what the consequences would be... Why can't you be merciful?! You've ruined my son's future! What is he going to do now? How could the people of the Crawford family be so ruthless?!"
