Chapter 366 - Revenge 367: Damned Dimwit (1/2)
”That's for what you've done to my friend and this,” Josh added one more slap to Elizabeth's other cheek. ”Is for my satisfaction.”
Anna and Zen almost laugh when they heard that from Josh. If they let their laugh take over them, the students who are watching them might think that they are bullying Elizabeth.
Elizabeth was in shock, she held both sides of her cheeks and her eyes welled up in tears. She's in so much pain that she could not withstand it. She knew that Josh doesn't care if he hits a girl, but she never thought that he will a girl that hard.
Gathering all her courage, Elizabeth stared at Josh. Since students are starting to gather around them, Elizabeth put on a face that she's being abuse by Josh. ”Y-you do know that you could get in trouble for slapping me for no reason?”
Josh's lips twitched when he heard that from Elizabeth's filthy mouth. ”You think that I will back down just because there is a lot of people watching us?” As soon as he said this, Josh landed another palm to her face. ”I'm not that easy to deal with, you damned dimwit.”
One surprised to another. Everything happened so fast that Elizabeth doesn't even know how to act anymore.
”What's happening over there?”
”Josh actually hit a girl. I thought he would never do such a thing.”
”Don't just assume things. Maybe that girl deserves it. I mean, Josh never hits a girl without any reason.”
Students are starting to whisper around them, and most of them are siding on Josh's side. Irritated by that fact, Elizabeth clenches her fist so tightly that it is starting to drip blood.
'Are they dumb? I'm the one who got hit, and yet, they are siding with Josh?' Elizabeth inwardly asked. She knows the reason why Josh hit her, however, base on facts, Josh hit her and she's the victim. Everyone saw that happened.
While other students are starting to around Anna and the other, the principal who decided to take a walk around the school saw the commotion that is happening. Curious and annoyed by the commotion, she squeezed her way through the center.
She saw Josh standing in front of Elizabeth. She stared at them trying to figure out what happened, as soon as she clearly sees everything, she was shocked to see that dripping blood on Elizabeth's hand and her swollen cheeks.
”What is this all about?!” She angrily asked.
”It is what you see, Mrs. Brown,” Josh spoke nonchalantly. Whether Elizabeth started all this or not, he is still at fault. He's the one who made the first move. No matter how one person looks at it, he made the first move and harmed Elizabeth.
”Someone bring this young lady over here to the nurse's office and get her treated.” The principal ordered, and someone from the crowd volunteered. She then turns her attention to Josh and said, ”Josh Visser, you are coming with to my office.”
Anna and Zen wanted to say something for Josh's defense, but Josh stopped them. ”Don't worry about me. I can handle myself. You two stay here and watch those two deal with Ilana.”
Josh would not want Anna and Zen to get involved any further. It was him who slapped Elizabeth in the face, not them. Anna tried to stop him, but he didn't listen. His emotion overtook him. 'I will face the outcome of my action alone.' Josh inwardly said to himself.
As Anna and Zen watch Josh walks away from them, Anna somehow felt anxiety that something bad will happen to Josh. ”Zen, don't you think that we should help out Josh?”
”No.” Zen firmly said to Anna. ”This is what Josh wants, and we should respect it. Besides, once he decided on one thing, it will be hard to convince him to rethink it.” Since he and Josh grew up together, he knew exactly what's going on in Josh's mind.
”But we were somewhat involved in the matter.”
”Anna, it's his decision to slap Elizabeth's face, not ours. You tried to stop him and he didn't listen. All the blame goes to him.” For the first time, Anna is surprised at how serious Zen is right now. His well understanding of Josh is truly admirable in her opinion.
