Not only did she have no way of coming up with that kind of money, even if she could, this was outright extortion. \u201c| didn\u2019t mean to hit Rocky! | was trying to stop him from hurting the little kids! | didn\u2019t do it on purpose!\u201d Christopher shouted back, brimming with indignation. He had every reason to be upset. Rocky Leeroy, emboldened by his wealthy and influential family, had connections with local businessmen and school sponsors and did whatever he pleased.<\/p>\n<p>Usually, Christopher could ignore him bullying others, but what made Rocky unbearable was how he preyed on children not even of school age. Christopher had noticed that Rocky was always surrounded by five or six little boys and girls who had to give him \u201ctribute\u201d regularly. No one knew where the kids got the money or snacks, but they had to hand it over every day. If Rocky wasn\u2019t satisfied, he would punish them outside of school. Christopher had endured it several times. Only this time, Rocky hit him after Christopher glanced at him, and even insulted his \u2014- family.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Seeing Rocky strike a little girl enraged Christopher further; in a burst of anger, he had hit her, cutting her lip. Christopher\u2019s blood boiled. His head spun. And when he saw a small brick on the ground, he acted without thinking-swinging from behind and striking Rocky\u2019s head. Afterwards, Christopher regretted losing his temper-and dragging Charlotte into it. His sister had already told him to focus on school and get through this rough period no matter what happened. Hearing this, Charlotte immediately understood the context.<\/p>\n<p>But the context didn\u2019t matter; even the teacher\u2019s eyes were shifting nervously, afraid of the Leeroy family\u2019s wrath Technically, Christopher had acted first-so letting things settle quietly would have been best. But the teacher couldn\u2019t stomach the outrageous demand and whispered, \u201cI understand how you feel, but\u2026 thirty thousand is a bit excessive\u2026\u201d \u201cShut up! You don\u2019t know anything!\u201d The mother glared at the teacher. \u201cYou can\u2019t even control your student. If it weren\u2019t for our generosity, we\u2019d hold you accountable too!<\/p>\n<p>You planning on quitting?\u201d The teacher\u2019s face turned red, and she didn\u2019t dare say another word. \u2014- Ethan had been standing aside, not intending to get involved. He looked down on these lower-level disputes, thinking involvement beneath him. He had planned to step aside and smoke a cigarette. But the mother and father were so loud and obnoxious that it was impossible to ignore them. And, after a moment, he found it almost funny. Suddenly, Charlotte heard Ethan\u2019s voice from behind. \u201cThirty thousand, huh?<\/p>\n<p>| think thirty thousand is just fine.\u201d He lit another cigarette and strolled up leisurely. Charlotte frowned. \u201cEthan, this isn\u2019t your business. If you\u2019re bored, you can leave.\u201d \u201cMister, your words are fair. Thirty thousand is not too much at all! If you\u2019re a friend of Christopher and his sister, do them a favor. Don\u2019t let them suffer for lack of help!\u201d The mother immediately snapped in agreement, her tone vicious. Of course, she also noticed that Ethan was dressed in designer clothes and looked extremely wealthy, so she dared not challenge him further.<\/p>\n<p>Especially when his wrist moved, revealing a watch-was that a Rolex? Easily worth tens of thousands. He had come with Christopher\u2019s sister. Since her family clearly \u2014- couldn\u2019t pay, Rocky\u2019s mother assumed he must have the money to spare.<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 442 Advertisement Read Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 442 \u2013 \u2014- [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[78],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28341","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-billionaires-checkmate-novel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28341","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28341"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28341\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28341"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28341"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28341"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
