C97 A Husband and Wife Duo.
“Sir, are you sure? She, she is a disabled person without any popularity. Your company…”
Everyone present was in disbelief, not to mention the woman herself.
"Tsk, this company is so stupid to find such a woman to shoot an advertisement for." A passerby with glasses complained in dissatisfaction.
Lydia was speechless.
The man beside her pursed his lips. "..."
"It's not an idiot, it's a problem with her eyes!" Another girl chimed in, her tone full of disdain.
Reece clenched his fists. "..."
Lydia was stunned. "!!!"
What the hell? All of you are so audacious!
She stole a glance at the man beside her and instantly felt her scalp tingling.
As expected, the man was furious.
Students, you should pray for your own good.
Estella did not notice the man's reaction at all, and she was even more proud of herself because of everyone's support.
"I think so too. Otherwise, who would make such a choice? Unless..." As she said halfway, she glanced at Lydia mockingly and snorted, "He must have some ulterior motive."
The onlookers understood what she meant after thinking about it.
What else could it be? It must be her skin and body!
Instantly, the surrounding people looked at Lydia with even more disgust and contempt.
"What's wrong with this world? Some girls sell their bodies just for money."
"Yeah, maybe the last design competition was also an equal exchange of body and honor!"
"That's reasonable. Otherwise, how could a person who has never been to school win over the top student, Viola?"
"Yeah, yeah."
The surrounding people were discussing animatedly, but their words were getting more and more unpleasant.
Lydia frowned slightly as she saw that the public opinion had been misled by the news.
Before she could do anything, the man beside her suddenly moved.
He raised his hand and slapped her loudly.
Pow!
The deafening sound stunned everyone present, even Lydia was stunned.
At this moment, the man's back was facing her, and he was exceptionally tall and dazzling.
At the same time, the left side of her face was bruised by five bloody red handprints. She groaned in pain, "Uh... What are you doing!!!"
Suddenly getting slapped, Estella glared at the man in anger.
However, when she looked up and saw the cold and bloodthirsty gaze above her head, she instantly felt a chill run down her spine. Her palms were sweating profusely.
How scary!
"Of course it's to beat you up." The man explained matter-of-factly, causing her to clench her fists in anger.
Although the man didn't say anything, she knew that he was trying to help her!
It was just a disabled man. Author was protecting him, and the man was protecting her. What was so good about her?
The more she thought about it, the more upset she became.
Just as she was about to argue with Reece, her arm was grabbed by the nearby Anne.
"Xiao Nan, we're leaving."
"Go? I got a slap for no reason. Why should I leave?"
"I'm doing this for your own good!" Anne glanced at the cold man opposite her and forcefully pulled Estella away.
The Su family was quite famous in Goulcrest. She had always paid attention to the business industry, so she naturally knew who this cold man was.
This man was the legendary man in Goulcrest.
He was the CEO of the Tillman Group, Reece. He was a young man who had conquered the entire Tillman Group with his own strength.
It was said that when the old-timers of the Tillman Group were against him, the family of the family disappeared from Goulcrest the next day!
Since then, the old-timers of the Tillman Group became extremely wary of him. They no longer dared to disobey his orders and decisions.
This kind of ruthless and dark person was definitely not someone they could afford to offend. As a friend, Anne naturally could not bear to see Estella die. That was why she risked being implicated by the Su family to stop her.
However, even though she did not know Reece, she did not understand Anne's painstaking efforts. She stubbornly shook her off and roared with grievance, "He hit me. Why should I leave? I won't leave today!"
"Xiao Nan!"
"If you don't help me, then go to the side!" Estella pushed Anne away and turned her head angrily to look at Lydia. "Heh, Lydia, I really don't know what kind of ability you have to be able to charm so many men. I admire you!"
"However, let me tell you! If he apologizes to me today, then I'll never forgive him!"
Facing the threat of Estella, Lydia shrugged and giggled, "Are you even worthy of an apology?"
This kind of person who could invert black and white was not worthy!
Furthermore, she felt that Reece's slap just now was perfect. It was so good that it made her moan!
If he didn't do anything, she would do it herself!
She was not afraid of the rumors, but she would never allow anyone to touch her like this!
"You..."
Because of the argument, more and more students had gathered here, even attracting the attention of the school's leaders.
"What's going on? Why aren't you guys going to class? What are you doing here?" Director Li scolded the students, and the students immediately made way for him.
The director walked over with his glasses on.
She held her swollen cheeks and walked up to her with tears streaming down her face. "Director, I was just fine. How dare you beat me up? You have to help me!"
"Who, who dares to disregard the rules of the school and bully the students?" The director looked at the blood-red face of Estella with anger.
"It's her! She's the one who called the people to beat me up!"
"What the hell is going on here?" Director Lee snapped, walking towards her. "Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you got first place in the design competition. You can bully your classmates!"
Seeing that the director was so angry, she thought that she had a backer, so she raised her eyebrows at her.
"Director, this..."
"I was the one who hit him," Lydia explained halfway when the man suddenly pulled her back into his embrace and held her tightly.
He couldn't bear to see her being scolded by anyone.
He couldn't even say a word. He was uncomfortable, extremely uncomfortable.
Especially now, the way he looked at Director Lee had changed.
"Reece... Reece?" Director Lee was shocked when he saw Reece.
As the director of the University of Goulcrest, Reece had a deep impression of him.
After all, his work was still hanging in the exhibition hall of the school.
"Long time no see, Director Lee." The man nodded politely, but his expression was not friendly.
His expression was as if he was angry at his wife!
Director Lee could sense the man's coldness, and his tone softened. "Heh, heh... What's going on with Reece? Is there a misunderstanding?"
"There's no misunderstanding. I hit her," Reece explained in a clear voice.
Director Lee's eyes widened in shock. "!!!"
Although Reece was not a person who was easy to get along with, he was definitely not someone who would hit a student for no reason.
Director Lee couldn't help but wonder what had made the man so angry that he would give up his usual gentlemanly elegance and hit a student.
He retracted his shock and asked curiously, "Why... Why did you hit her? Did she make you unhappy because she didn't pay attention to her words?"
"No, but... It's a thousand times worse than making me angry!" The man's eyes narrowed, and the frost in his eyes raged. "She smeared my wife's name!"
Lydia's heart skipped a beat, and she looked up at the man beside her. "..."
At the same time, Director Lee was speechless.
Josie: "..."
Anne: "..."
The onlookers were speechless.
The word "wife" caused her eyes to widen. She looked at Lydia and then at the man. She was so shocked that she stuttered, "You... You are..."
"Husband, the retarded and blind Reece you guys are talking about!" The man reached out and pulled Lydia back into his arms.
Hearing that, the spectators who were complaining earlier couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
