Chapter 17 Who is Tim?
George's appearance left everyone else in the room stunned!
How did such a boss come here? Was it because of Ryder?
Thinking of this, the classmates gritted their teeth, burning with anger. Having just one Josh was already troublesome enough, but they hadn't expected George to be drawn in as well. It was all Ryder's damn fault!
Upon seeing George, Josh hurriedly stepped forward and pleaded, "George, your timing is perfect. This little bastard just smashed a beer bottle on my head. I see that these young people in Houston no longer respect us seniors!"
But little did he know that his words held no significance anymore.
Without any warning, George grabbed a bottle of beer from the table and smashed it on Josh's head.
Josh fell to the ground, holding his head and wailing. "George! Why did you hit me?"
Josh's subordinates looked confused, but they didn't dare to intervene.
George was like a god in the eyes of the Houston gangsters, and no one dared to defy him.
"Shut up!" George growled in a low voice.
Josh endured the pain and didn't dare to make any more noise. His intuition told him that he had gotten himself into big trouble today.
George hurriedly approached Ryder with a respectful expression, saying, "Mr. Clark, I'm here!"
"Good job!" Ryder patted George's shoulder.
In fact, when Josh kicked the door open earlier, Ryder realized that trouble was coming, so he immediately messaged George, asking him to come over.
Perfect timing for George's arrival! He relaxed a bit when he was praised and obediently stood behind Ryder.
This scene surprised the classmates greatly.
George actually hit Josh, and he even referred to Ryder as Mr. Clark. How did they know each other?
This couldn't be true! Unacceptable! There must be something fishy going on.
Chris immediately stepped forward to question. "Ryder, are you pretending again? You must have paid these people to act and took this opportunity to bully us, right?"
Now, all the classmates started to curse at Ryder, especially the male classmates who quickly blamed Ryder for appearing weak earlier.
"It was not that we didn't dare to fight back, but we fell into Ryder's trap! Damn it!"
Several female classmates, especially Charlotte, grew even more disgusted with Ryder.
"Ryder, your behavior is disgustingly pretentious!"
"I will call the police for your actions! Scum!"
Lily clenched her fists in anger and said, "Do any of you have a conscience? If it wasn't for Ryder's friends helping out, all of you would have suffered tonight. No gratitude is fine, but instead, you bite back!"
Harper smirked dismissively. "Always speaking up for Ryder, huh? In my opinion, Ryder didn't even have the money to hire them for acting. You must have sold your body to him, you bitch!"
The classmates burst into laughter. Harper was about to explode in anger!
George's face darkened, and he lowered his voice to ask Ryder, "Mr. Clark, where did these idiots come from? Do you want me to teach them a lesson?"
"There's no shortage of idiots anywhere, and today they are just abundant!" Ryder frowned and instructed George, "It's fine if they insult me, but they can't insult my friends."
George understood and exchanged a glance with his two subordinates.
The two subordinates immediately stepped forward, grabbing Harper and forcefully making her kneel on the ground.
Harper struggled. "What are you going to do? Let go! Let go!"
The two subordinates ignored her, maintaining a respectful attitude.
Lily said to Ryder, "Please handle this!"
Lily was a bit confused and looked at Ryder with doubt.
Ryder smiled faintly. "Since some people have loose tongues and enjoy speaking foul language, let her feel some pressure!"
Lily had been holding her anger for a long time. She rolled up her sleeves and walked towards Harper.
Harper's pupils contracted and she became nervous. "What are you trying to do, you little slut?"
"I'm going to slap you!" Lily didn't waste any time and slapped Harper's face.
A bright red palm print appeared, and her face had immediately swollen.
"How… How dare you hit me? I..."
Lily immediately slapped her again!
Harper tried to struggle and stand up, but she couldn't even manage to do so. She cursed and spewed all kinds of offensive words.
Lily couldn't stand her many flaws. The more she cursed, the harder she slapped!
"I've despised you for a long time. You're so vulgar! What right do you have to mock Ryder?"
"The money I earned all these years is earned with a clear conscience. What qualifications do you have to blabber nonsense?"
A series of slaps and a string of words echoed in the ears of every classmate present.
It felt like it was directed at each and every one of them. They were all intimidated and dared not say a word.
George praised Ryder, "Mr. Clark, your friend is quite formidable!"
Ryder nodded, and a nostalgic expression appeared on his face. The fiery and formidable queen of Houston High School had returned.
Lily continued slapping for a full two minutes.
Harper's face, now swollen from filler injection, had become deformed. Finally, she was scared and dared not harass or curse at people anymore.
She started crying and begged for mercy. Only then did Lily stop.
Harper was casually thrown on the ground by the two henchmen.
The two of them continued asking Lily, "Do you want to teach a lesson to anybody else present here?"
As soon as these words came out, the hearts of other classmates trembled.
Many people had spoken ill of Lily before.
Lily was also a person who despised evil. They didn't want to end up like Harper.
A female classmate spoke up, "We can't let this bitch have her way! She just hired people to scare us, but we have money too. Tim, Chris, both of you, speak up!"
Other classmates urged Tim and Chris to pay and resolve the matter.
In their eyes, George helping Ryder was just a matter of money. As long as they offered more money than Ryder, they believed George would switch sides.
Chris cleared his throat and showed a flattering smile to George. "George, we can also contribute money and discuss it, right?"
George frowned. He thought, "Isn't this idiot trying to deceive me in front of Mr. Clark?"
He quickly glared and shouted impatiently, "Get lost, stop trying to cozy up to me!"
Chris thought George disliked the amount they offered, so he quickly took a few steps forward, lowered his voice, and said with a sly smile.
"Everything can be negotiated, and if money can't solve the problem, a woman's words can also do the trick!" As he spoke, he discreetly pointed behind him at Charlotte. The implication was clear.
"You actually dare to sell even your own woman, you scum!" George kicked Chris to the ground with one blow. It was quite a humiliating fall. Not far away, Tim's eyes flickered with an idea. He thought it was a great opportunity for him to step in and turn the tide.
Summoning his courage, Tim stepped forward and said, "George, let me introduce myself. I am the HR manager at Maple Real Estate. If you help me out tonight, I promise that I can represent and make decisions on behalf of Maple Real Estate in any future cooperation!"
Tim believed George would easily agree. Maple Real Estate had a unique business nature and often faced conflicts with workers and residents in demolition areas. George's many henchmen would come in handy in situations like this!
Before his words could settle, a magnetic female voice sounded at the door of the private room, "Who do you think you are, Tim, representing Maple Real Estate?"
