Chapter: 777
"How can I take back a present? Not to mention, it doesn’t cost much." Mike pouted.
"Abigail, this is a sincere gesture from Mike. Just accept it. Since your dad is injured and hospitalized, he could make good use of it." Nina urged her gently
"Alright, thank you." Since they’d put it that way. Abigail had no other reason to refuse.
"That’s more like it." Mike smiled and asked, "Right, Abigail, I heard your father was hospitalized after getting beaten up. Who dared do such a thing?"
"Uh…" Abigail didn’t know what to say. She didn’t wish for her father’s situation to be spread outside.
"There’s no need to be afraid. Just tell me what happened. It doesn’t matter who did it. I’ll make sure he pays!" Mike patted his chest with confidence.
Nina chimed in. "That’s right! With Mike here, no one would bully you. He’ll deal with any problems you have easily."
"Abigail, there’s no need to feel bad. We’re classmates, and we’ll solve every problem together."
The group of youngsters spoke fervently in righteous indignation.
Abigail glanced at Dustin, not sure if she should tell them.
"Abigail, why are you looking at him? He’s not the one who did it, is he?" Nina said suspiciously.
"No, no, no. Of course not." Abigail shook her head immediately.
"Then what happened?" Nina asked again.
Dustin finally spoke.
"I’ve dealt with the matter. All of you don’t need to worry about it."
"Who do you think you are? Do you think we’re not going to worry about it just because you said so?" Mike looked irritated. "Don’t think you can look down on people just because you have some money. Let me tell you, connections are far more important than wealth!"
"That’s right! The most important thing in Millsburg is connections. What can you do with money?" Nina pursed her lips in disdain.
"I said that for your own good. You guys can’t afford to offend the perpetrator."
"What a joke!" Mike scoffed loudly. "Do you know who I am? Do you know who my father is? And you’re saying I can’t afford to offend that person? What a bold statement."
"Hey! I advise you not to underestimate others. You’ll never be able to compare with Mike’s background," Nina said condescendingly.
