Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Sasha's family was quite well-off in the county town. Her mother owned a beauty salon, and her father ran a supermarket. She was the only child in the family and had been pampered since childhood. Thus, this was the first time she had ever been hit.

Sasha was completely stunned. Then, she covered her burning cheek and pointed at Harper while trembling with anger. “You, you dare to hit me?”

“I'm not just going to hit you, but I'm going to kill you!”

“You, you hit me, I'm going to tell my dad!”

Sasha's parents had some connections in the county town, and her family was rather domineering. However, when they encountered Harper and the others today, Sasha was rather frightened.

Apart from making threats, she didn't dare to do anything else.

Harper was truly livid, her hands were shaking as she deleted the photos.

Upon seeing the fierce demeanor of Harper and everyone else, Sasha didn't dare to ask for the phone anymore. She wanted to run but was immediately blocked by Irving, who was standing next to Rowen.

“Do you think you can bully someone and just run away?”

Although Irving didn't see the photo, he could tell how terrified she was by these two girls just by looking at Celine.

Just now, they saw from a distance that one was tugging at Celine's hair while another was pulling on Celine's shoulder, half dragging, half pulling her across the road.

Harper deleted half of the photos in the album, she was on the verge of breaking down. In the end, she just exited and formatted the entire phone.

There was nothing Sasha could do, and now she was somewhat scared. “What are you doing? Are you planning to hit me in broad daylight?”

Harper hit the format key, fuming with anger, and hurled the phone at Sasha. “And you have the audacity to bully someone in broad daylight?”

Tears of frustration welled up in her eyes as she turned to look at Rowen. “Where are your people? Aren't you usually surrounded by many? Where have they all gone when it matters most?”

For once, Rowen didn't find Harper annoying. Even when he was scolded, he just furrowed his brows, then turned to look at Jayden standing to the side.

“They're almost here.”

It's the weekend, so everyone's out and about, relaxing.

No sooner had the words been spoken, than Jayden's phone began to ring.

In less than half a minute, the person he called for arrived.

There were two boys and two girls. “What's up?”

Jayden looked at Rowen. The four people expressed their surprise upon seeing Rowen. “Wow, what a rarity. It's Rowen!”

Harper knew the four people who arrived too. She looked down at Celine, who was still trembling on her shoulder, and tugged at Rowen. “I'll handle this. You take Cece away first.”

The fact that Harper liked Rowen was not only known by people within Gautier High School but also by those outside of the school.

People were used to seeing Harper speaking softly and gently to Rowen. But this time, her voice was rough and gruff, which surprised everyone around her.

Next, she lowered her head and spoke to Celine in a tone that was incredibly gentle, “Don't be afraid, Cece. No one dares to bully you. Why don't you go home and get some sleep, okay?”

Harper was five or six centimeters taller than Celine, and she was even wearing high heels today. She had to lower her head to speak. Holding a tissue in her hand, she comforted Celine while wiping away her tears.

Celine had calmed down considerably. She tugged at Harper and shook her head. “Harper, will you come back with me?”

Naturally, Harper was not willing to let those two girls off so easily. She coaxed Celine, “I won't hit anyone, really. I'll just teach them a lesson for you. Can you let Rowen accompany you to the bookstore across the street and wait for me there?”

Celine didn't say a word, just glanced at Sasha, her face paling slightly. “They... they...”

She wanted to tell Harper that Sasha had more than just her photos in their hands. But with so many familiar faces around, Celine simply couldn't find the courage to tell her.

In fact, that matter was more like a thorn in her heart, she didn't dare to touch it at all.

Harper tugged at Rowen. “They are girls, so it's not convenient for you guys to do anything to them. Let me handle this.”

Harper was also spoiled growing up. She wouldn't go out of her way to bully others, but if someone bullied her, she wouldn't let them get away with it easily.

She nearly became a victim of a similar threat, and she immediately scratched the faces of those girls on the spot. The school called in her parents, and her mother directly brought two lawyers to sue the school and teachers for condoning campus bullying. After returning home, her mother even praised her for doing the right thing.

Harper was not the type to swallow her anger and endure in silence. Now that she knew Celine had been bullied, not only did she empathize with her, but also felt heartbroken.

As she spoke, she immediately had the two girls and two boys escorted Sasha and Shirley away.

Only Celine and Rowen were left at the entrance of the shopping mall.

After a while, Rowen glanced at Celine. “There's a bathroom inside. Would you like to wash your face?”

Upon hearing his words, Celine raised her hand to wipe her eyes. “Okay.”

She never expected to run into Sasha and her friend, let alone how the two would dare to lay a hand on her.

Celine knew she wasn't really that cowardly, but they had her photos. Therefore, she didn't dare to fight back, fearing that they would post her pictures online if she did.
