Chapter 1126
The high school student that Ste had pushed away was shocked when she saw the broken shards of
ss on the ground. ‘It would’ve been me if it weren’t for her,’ she thought.
“Ste!” Marshall’s voice sounded. His face was sullen as he pushed through the sea of people, trying
to get to Ste. He hastily used a handkerchief to cover her wounded head. Seeing that the cloth was
soaked in blood, Marshall stared at the crowd with a cold face and said, “Who did this?”
Those shouting at Ste earlier immediately shut their mouths and looked at each other. No one
admitted to the assault. Then, someone said, “She deserved it for pushing Be and refusing to
apologize.”
Marshall’s cold gaze pierced through them as he said, “Did any of you see her push Be down the
stairs? Or did the police say that she did it?”
The person choked on their own words and retorted, “Why didn’t shee forward and clear things up
if she didn’t do it? Why did she go into hiding? It’s not fair. She should apologize for her wrongdoing.”
“All of you believed what you saw on the inte without solid evidence and convicted her. None of you
held back when you criticized and bullied her, yet now you’re asking why she didn’t juste out and
rify herself? Would you even believe her if she said she didn’t do it?” Marshall said
coldly.
“I bet you’d think that she was lying. You’d attack her no matter what she says and never be satisfied
with her, no matter what she does or doesn’t do. You vent your anger and frustrations in the name of
your so-called justice. But all you’re doing is hurting someone on behalf of your idol.”
Marshall’s words made the public question themselves.Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
After all, most of them were actually trying to seek justice for Be and not hurt Ste. However, a few
people did not fall for Marshall’s approach. ” Who are you to say something like that?” one of them
asked.
Marshall shot the person a cold nce and said, “I’m Marshall Moore, a friend of Ste’s and her
lawyer. I am responsible for protecting her in terms of her reputation and personal safety. The police
are investigating the case, and the court will decide if shemitted the crime. None of you have the
right to convict her.”
After saying that, Marshall paused and nced around. “I think everyone here is aware of how
important an actor’s appearance is in the film industry. I urge whoever threw that ss toe forward
now. Don’t make me contact the authorities and have them look up the CCTV.”
Ste was in excruciating pain at that moment and was feeling a little dizzy. She pulled Marshall down
and whispered, “Let’s forget it.”
“No. I’m not letting this one slide. I feel helpless for not being able to protect you. Put some pressure on
the wound and don’t say another word. I’ll take you to the hospital after
I’m done here,” Marshall held her hand and said softly.
Before Ste could say anything, Marshall looked toward the crowd sternly. “No one wants toe out
and admit it? Fine. We’ll check the surveince. I’m telling you; you can be convicted for at least three
to ten years for intentional harm. Refusing to plead guilty will only add to your sentence.”
Someone in the crowd started to panic after hearing thewyer’s words and started to fess up, “It was
me.”
Everyone turned around and made way for the person, only to see an eleven or twelve-year-old girl
sobbing. A longhaired woman in her early twenties stood next to her and apologized on the girl’s
behalf. “My sister is still young and believes everything she sees on the inte. I’m really sorry. It’s my
fault for not stopping her earlier.”
When the woman said that, she poked the little girl in the arm and continued with a straight face, “What
are you doing? Apologize, quick!”
Ste was stunned. She did not say anything. The little girl sobbed even harder as she uttered the
words, “l-l’m sorry…”
Marshall’s demeanor changed at that moment. “You’re the one who threw the ss?” He walked up to
the little girl and questioned in a warm voice.
The little girl fearfully nodded.
“Do you know her?” Marshall pointed at Ste and asked.
