Seeing that she didn't respond,the others got anxious and started pushing her around.The same hands that had pushed and pinched me now landed on Amanda.In their haste,they didn't control their strength,and Amanda was pushed back and forth.
"You've gone too far.I said I wanted to teach the mistress a lesson.You all followed along because you also wanted to get close to Henry.Now you're trying to shirk responsibility?It's too late.If we're going down, we're all going together."Amanda shouted angrily.
"You're blaming us?Is it our fault for helping you?You ungrateful wretch.I didn't get any benefits when you were dating Henry,"one of them shouted.
"Don't try to pin this on us.It's all because you,Amanda,were afraid you couldn't marry into a wealthy family that this happened."
The scene turned into a chaotic display of mutual accusations. My brother and I stood aside and watched as the group of people attacked Amanda.
Seeing the angry crowd,Amanda actually pushed through them and ran towards us."Sister,I know I was wrong.Please forgive me,okay?"
But before she could reach me, my brother blocked her.
"Forgive you?Did you think about this moment when you forced me to kneel with my parents' keepsake?Did you think about whether I would forgive you when you tore my clothes off and paraded me through the streets?"
My brother was stunned for a moment by my words, then he grabbed Amanda by the neck. "You've got some nerve, Amanda," he said. I reminded him that we were in a police station and that the law should punish them. He slowly let go.
Amanda covered her neck,with snot and tears streaming down her face.The others realized that their only hope for forgiveness lay with me.
An middle-aged woman knelt on the ground."Miss Lucy,I was wrong.I was just deceived by Amanda.Please be merciful and spare me."
When the others saw this,they followed suit and knelt down.
"We're all from ordinary families.We couldn't earn 800 million even in our entire lives,let alone 830 million."
"Please,Miss Lucy,have mercy on us."
Only a few young people remained standing,too proud to kneel.But I didn't have a hobby of watching people kneel.
"There are cameras installed in my villa.Your actions were all clearly recorded.Begging is useless.Everyone has to pay for their actions,"I said.
Before leaving, my brother specifically told the police officer handling the case that we wouldn't accept any settlement and demanded severe punishment.
Concerned for my well-being, my brother asked me to live with him. To ease his guilt,I moved in .
Despite not growing up together, we have a very close relationship. He stays by my side at home when not at the company.
I adjusted my mindset,immersing myself in study every day and trying not to think about other things.My brother handles the impact of the live-stream and the slander on the school's online forum.
