Chapter 99 A Heated Confrontation

Timothy was seen with an unhappy and sour look on his face. At that moment, they were surrounded by the bystanders around them. Due to Timothy’s good looks and outstanding academic performance, he was easily recognized just when the atmosphere was filled with murmurs of gossip.

“Is there something wrong with this old lady? Why is she hitting my baby, Timothy?”

“Why is an old lady like her acting like this? What a feisty old hag!”

Despite the disapproving noises around her, Amber wasn’t bothered by them at all. Instead, she held the baton tightly in her hand and yelled, “Quit hiding, Timothy! You’re a b*stard born to be a liability to the Reinhart Family! You’re a cheapskate, just like your mother and sister! How could you put my son in jail? If I don’t beat the hell out of you, I’ll be sorry to the Reinharts!” After finishing her sentence, the old lady tried charging at Timothy to continue her violent madness.

In that instant, the security guard quickly interfered and stopped Amber, reprimanding her with a loud voice. “What’s wrong with you, old lady?! How could you try to hit our students for no good reason?! Are you out of your mind or what?!” He then snatched his baton from her and put it back into his sheath.

When Amber failed in her attempt to give Timothy a beating, she grew more frustrated and felt ashamed of herself for allowing the bystanders to witness everything. Then, she sat on the ground and started whining like a child. “Where is justice?! Is there really no justice in this world?! How could any son put his father behind bars and show his grandmother disrespect?! Yet all of you ignore his mistakes and point your fingers at me. Alas! After all those years we spent raising him up, this is how this ingrate repays us! He is an animal!” Crying and thumping her chest, the old lady sobbed in tears with sadness written all over her face.

However, Amber’s words successfully created a misunderstanding by swaying everyone else into doubting Timothy’s innocence, causing them to question his character. “Seriously? Is Timothy really that kind of person?”

“No way! Who would do such a thing to his own father?”

When Sophia saw that, she cunningly seized the opportunity and tried to make a mountain out of a molehill. “Ladies and gentlemen, your classmate, Timothy, is a crooked and wicked person despite his innocent appearance. If he could bear to put his father behind bars, what do you think someone of his character could be capable of in the future? So, is this the kind of person your school recruits?” Sophia’s words were like a bucket of filthy water that was splashed on Timothy’s head.

“Enough with your nonsense, Sophia!” Timothy angrily called out to Sophia with a resentful expression on his face.

In the meantime, Henry grew furious as well after hearing Sophia’s words. “Watch your mouth, lady! The Reinharts are the ones without a sense of shame! Many years ago, you both abandoned Tessa and Timothy and left them to their fate, but now that Timothy seems useful to you, you want him back! Besides, you both were in the wrong in the first place for trying to kidnap Timothy the last time, yet here you are, trying to take advantage of him one more time!” Henry’s voice was so loud that everyone could hear him, which quickly tipped the scale back to Timothy’s favor.

“What?! How could they do this to my baby, Timothy?!”

“Oh, poor Timothy! He doesn’t deserve this, does he?”

“Where is their sense of shame? How could Timothy ever have someone so shameless in his family?”

Surprised by Henry’s quick wit, Amber lost her cool and flipped out in front of the outcry. “Shut up, everyone! What do you know? Look at your attitude when you’re talking to your elderly! How did people like you all manage to enter this school? I want to talk to your principal! I want to understand whether this is the best that Southend University can do in producing talents with this ‘quality’!”

As soon as everyone heard Amber, they immediately kept their mouths shut. While the security guard also furrowed his eyebrows, the old lady continued to threaten everyone else.

“I want to see your principal now. I want an answer by today, or I swear I’ll tell the reporters how terrible your university is!”
