Chapter 42: Sworn Enemies
Now that everyone had gathered around, David had no choice but to stand.
“Mr. Liddell, I was hoping that you could help me plead to the Luther family to show some mercy and let my family go, if that’s alright?” Leo said.
“The Luther family is attacking you because you offended Sandy. What does that have to do with me? Besides, are we close? Why should I help you?” David asked in reply.
“...”
Leo had no idea how to respond to David’s questions. Were they close?
He had stolen David’s girlfriend from him, humiliated David, caused David to vomit blood, and even posted the pictures onto the campus network and group chats, making David the butt of the faculty’s jokes.
How could they be close? It would be more accurate to say they were sworn enemies. Sarah gazed at David. He seemed to have turned into an entirely new person ever since they broke up.
In the past, if anyone were to ask who knew David the best, she would definitely be that person. However, she now realized that she did not know David at all. How could a person’s personality have changed so quickly?
Also, David had the means to help Leo’s family? To the point where Leo was willing to kneel and apologize to him? Had he been keeping it a secret all this while? Had he been putting their relationship to the test all this while?
Rumor was that some trust fund babies enjoyed disguising themselves as poor guys when searching for true love. If that was the case! Then, what had she done? Had she given up on an extremely well-off trust fund baby who had been keeping his true identity a secret over several pieces of designer clothing and purses?
Moreover, this super-rich guy had loved, taken care of, accommodated, and forgiven her! In that instant, Sarah felt her mind go blank!
She had lost a forest for a tree. Leo grabbed Sarah, standing beside him, and pulled her back to reality.
“David! I...” Sarah was just about to speak when David interrupted her.
“Sarah, are you trying to help his family plead for mercy as well?” David asked as he stared at Sarah.
“David, I hope that you can help Leo!” Sarah said after mustering up her courage. She had no choice left. David had already left her!
If she did not hold on to this last straw, she would be left with absolutely nothing.
“You hope? On what grounds are you basing your hopes? As my ex-girlfriend? As my high school classmate? Or as Leo’s current girlfriend?” David asked mockingly.
It was then that everyone in the audience understood what was going on. David was the person who had been so angry that he vomited blood after Leo stole his girlfriend from him, and was also the person that Leo had taken pictures of and posted onto the campus network and group chats.
How many days had it been since then? Now, Leo was kneeling before David? Begging him for help? How had the tables turned so quickly? Not even televised dramas would dare do this!
“David Lindell! I’m begging you, alright? For the sake of our past relationship, can you help me just this once?” Sarah suddenly lowered her voice and began pleading.
Now, if she could get David to help resolve the crisis that Leo’s family was facing, she would be able to marry Leo and live a rich and lavish life. That had always been a dream of hers. She had that dream even back when she was with David. However, she had been hesitant to pursue it because of how kindly David treated her. Otherwise, she would have never banished David to the sidelines when Leo professed his feelings for her.
“Sarah Jensen, you have no right to beg me! Everyone else has the right to beg me, but you don’t! I’ve done so much for you over the years, but I’m nothing compared to a few pieces of designer clothing and purses? I’ve been blind for so many years, and I won’t be able to help you! Goodbye!”
David strode off when he finished speaking. However, Leo grabbed hold of his feet.
“Mr. Liddell, it’s my fault. It was all my fault! Please, help me this one time! You’re the only person who can help me now! My family will be done for if you don’t help me,” Leo sobbed as he clung to David’s feet.
David was his last hope now. David was just about to kick Leo aside. Then, another commotion rang out at the entrance. Immediately, another person walked into the hall, with a large group of people following them in.
The person walking at the very front was Howard Jackson, the president of the SRU student council and the most handsome guy in SRU. He was also Luna Shoron’s official boyfriend.
“Wow! President Jackson is here. I bet he’s here to meet President Shoron. They’re the faculty’s golden couple!”
“Come on, come on! Let’s go take a look!”
The crowd surrounding David and the others immediately dispersed and ran over to watch Howard and Luna. David shoved a little harder and managed to push Leo out of the way.
Ignoring Leo and Sarah, David also walked over to the crowd to see how Luna would respond. Everything that had just happened to David and Leo just now had not affected Luna in the slightest.
There were several hundred people in the hall, but only around ten of those people had been watching David and Leo. The majority of them had still been standing around the podium and watching Luna’s live demonstration.
...
On stage. Luna was giving a live demonstration with an old member of the martial arts club. It was what everyone had been waiting for.
Because they could get up close to the campus, however, Howard walked on stage and said to the member, “What did I say? No men are allowed to get close to Luna! Did you think I was joking?”
“S- sorry, President Jackson! I’ll leave right now!” The member said shakingly.
He had been the first to dash forth when Luna said she needed an opponent because he wanted to get up close to this beautiful lady. After all, they would be engaging in actual combat! There would be times when it was inevitable that their bodies would come into contact!
His thoughts were impure as well. In the past, it was always female members who had taken the stage. However, for some reason, he wanted to try and take advantage of this opportunity today.
To be honest, Luna was so beautiful that he was finding it difficult to keep himself under control. Now that Howard was here, he could not help but feel a little guilty. Besides, Howard was also the president of the student council, and rumor was that he came from a very powerful family. It would not be wise for him to offend him.
“Freeze! Who allowed you to leave?” Howard called out to the member who was about to leave.
“P- President Jackson!...”
(Slap!) The member did not manage to finish speaking before Howard interrupted him with a slap across the face.
“Slap!” Another slap came soon after.
“Slap! Slap! Slap!”
Howard slapped him across the face five times! He had initially wanted to continue slapping him, but Luna stopped him.
“Howard Jackson, stop it!” Luna shouted.
“Miss Luna! Mr. Zachary Quinn told me to protect you and stop any men from coming near you, but he dared disobey my orders! He deserves to get beaten up!” Jackson said.
