[Chapter 113]
What could have possibly happened to Alice?
Gerald was surprised.
However, since Harper was asking him to accompany them to Hayley's dormitory, it would not be good for him to turn down his request.
Moreover, Gerald really wanted to go and find out what exactly happened to Alice.
Although this girl made him feel a little touched before this, her attitude had taken a one hundred and eighty-degree turn after Gerald was slandered by Jacelyn.
After all, she was still a friend!
In fact, Gerald was simply making up all sorts of reasons for himself. Even though he said that he did not care about Alice at all, as a normal man, how could he possibly be indifferent to such a beautiful girl?
At Alice's dormitory.
The six boys, including Gerald and Harper, signed in downstairs before they came in.
After coming in, they saw Alice crying as she sat on the bed. Jacelyn was also crying at this time.
Jacelyn's face was pale, and she seemed to be really frightened.
"Alice, Jacelyn, we came here to see you!" Harper replied.
On the way, after Gerald had asked about the matter, Gerald also found out about the ins and outs of this matter.
It turned out that the identities of the four people who were beaten up at the manor were in fact extraordinary.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that one of the young man's family industries was one of the biggest in the whole of Mayberry City.
Aside from Mayberry International Inc., the young man's family business was the best.
Who was this person?
His name was William Rye, and his father's name was Henry Rye. He was one of the biggest real estate bosses in Mayberry City.
It just so happened that even though he was a rich second-generation, William was usually a very low-key person.
He had gone to the manor to accompany a few friends to have a drink that day.
After drinking on a whim, he had seen Jacelyn and Alice. He especially took notice of Alice, who was exceptionally beautiful.
That was the reason why he teased the two girls under the influence of alcohol.
Unexpectedly, he had gotten beat up twice.
Moreover, he was beaten up until he was bloodied all over.
After returning home, William had called for help.
His whole family was shocked at this sight.
Although the parties did not seek revenge directly, Danny, Chad, Jacelyn, and Alice's family received a warning to varying degrees.
Chad's family ran a family business, and all of their supplies had been cut off immediately.
Alice's family also had their own company, and her family was in a similar situation to that of Chad's.
As for Jacelyn and Danny, their parents were also threatened and given a warning.
It felt as though they would have to pay the price for rubbing this person the wrong way.
In short, Alice and the others were all terrified now.
This was because William had threatened to destroy them completely within a month!
"What should I do now? What should I do now? My dad has already contacted a lot of people, but they could not do anything at all!"
Alice was crying desperately.
Jacelyn's parents were also laid off with immediate effect.
"Alice, can't Danny and Chad help with this matter?"
Harper could only ask them this question. After all, he could not do anything to help as he watched from the sidelines.
"Oh, what could they possibly do? I heard that Chad and Danny even went to the other party's company to look for him. They knelt down and apologized to the other party, but they were subsequently thrown out of the company by the security guards."
"We really got into big trouble this time. I heard that Danny also slapped himself desperately in front of the other party, but it was all useless!"
Another girl in the dormitory was also very worried.
Alice cried even harder.
Jacelyn was also the same. They did not look as arrogant as they did before.
"Why don't we call the police, then?"
Benjamin said as he scratched his head.
Who would not know about the Rye family in Mayberry City? They were really awesome and powerful.
Most people could not afford to offend them.
Alice shook her head as she said, "No, it's no use. Moreover, we were the ones who beat them up in the first place, and they did not fight back at all. Even if we make a police report, we will be the ones getting arrested instead!"
When everyone heard this, they felt that this was indeed the case.
"Don't be so sad anymore. There will always be a solution to the problem!"
Gerald, who had not spoken at all, suddenly spoke up at this time.
He really did not know how else to persuade them.
