Chapter 178
The car did not drive far away from the hospital. These fans must have waited in the hospital for a long time and followed Pearl to teach her a lesson.
Looking at the eggs and tomatoes thrown on top of the glass, Pearl felt a headache. Fans these days were afraid of nothing The scariest part about them was they also had to find methods to vent their frustrations in reality, not just online. They were unafraid of being caught.
They could have waited two more days for things to turn better.
They could not wait to seek justice for Peter.
After all, they were Peter’s fans. Pearl was also the one who had asked for the news to be released. Mason pursed his lips and felt the bump on his head. It was still hurting. “Ms. Woolery, why do I feel like we’ve shot ourselves in the foot?”
Pearl moved her lips. “Shut up!”
She asked the driver again. “Can you navigate out!”
When the fans suddenly rushed out earlier, the driver almost hit someone. He was still in shock. They’re too close. It’s too dangerous to drive in such a situation. It’ll be troublesome if they try to scam us.”“
The driver honked a few times, but the crowd did not disperse. The commotion was still loud. There was no hiding the anger among the fans outside.
There was a white–haired lady in the crowd. She was even older than the driver’s mother. The driver’s mouth twitched. What was going on?
Pearl’s bodyguards were in a car behind. After seeing what happened, they squeezed into the crowd to protect Pearl. They wanted to chase the fans away, but the fans resisted even more. “Get lost, you evil capitalists!”
“So what if you’re rich? Do you think you can manipulate others‘ fate just because you’re rich? What right do you have to change Peter’s role like that?”
A middle–aged lady was scolding and smashing eggs at the same time. Her heart did not ache for the egg wastage at all. Mason could not help but pull down the car window and shout at that lady. “Why don’t you bring the eggs home and make scrambled eggs with green onions for the children at home? Why waste them like this? If you don’t know how to make them. you can consider making fried rice too.”
That lady glared at him and threw another egg over.
“I’m willing to waste them. What business is it of yours?”
The egg almost hit Mason. He quickly rolled up the window.
The driver had never seen such a scene in his life. He said shakily, “Ms. Woolery, why don’t we call the police?”
Mason held the phone and hesitated. “After all, they’re Peter’s fans. Will calling the police have a bad impact on him?”
“Just call the police.”
Before Pearl could speak, Connor spoke first.
His expression was calm, and his voice was unprecedentedly cold. “That’s not how fans support celebrities. Although they’re my brother’s fans, they have no right to hurt you. If my brother finds out, he won’t be happy. He’ll feel guilty and blame himself
Pearl nodded and asked Mason to dial the police.
The fans‘ behavior became more and more intense. More and more people gathered around to take photos. There were even rocks smashed into the glass. If such a situation continued, people would be hurt. Connor pursed his lips and opened the door. He got out of the car.
“Connor
Pearl quickly pulled him back and frowned. “Where are you going?”
“It’s alright.”
Connor turned around and gave her a comforting smile. “No matter what, I’m still Peter’s younger brother. The fans will listen
to me.
After saying that, he broke free from Pearl’s grip and quickly closed the car door.
When Connor alighted from the car, many eggs and tomatoes were aimed at him. Eggs cracked on his head. The yellow liquid flowed down his forehead, cheeks, and neck.
However, he did not frown. He raised his voice and shouted, “Everyone, I’m Peter’s younger brother. Please listen to me,”
Upon hearing that he was Peter’s younger brother, the crowd quietened.
Connor’s clear voice sounded. “I understand everyone’s feelings, but please be rational. Don’t make rash judgments before things are clear, let alone do anything illegal. Otherwise, it will only bring bad influence and pressure on my brother. You have to believe in Ms. Woolery. She won’t leave Peter in the lurch.”
Unexpectedly, the angry fans did not listen to him at all. “Are you Peter’s biological younger brother? Why are you speaking up for the capitalists? How many benefits did that woman give you? Get lost! Peter doesn’t have a younger brother like you. You’re not worth it!”
There was another egg thrown at Connor again.
That’s right. How dare a kid educate us? Don’t think that we won’t dare to hit you just because you’re handsome. Hurry up and get that old woman to come out!”
Another tomato was thrown at Connor. Just as it was about to hit his face, a hand caught it in time.
The tomato went flying back toward the crowd.
“Oh no!”
A scream sounded in the crowd. The woman who threw the tomato covered her face and looked disheveled. A cold voice pierced through the sunlight like a demonic voice. “Am I the old one, or are you the old one?”
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the woman beside Connor in unison. They could not help but widen their eyes.
A woman in a light gray blazer and a pleated skirt was standing in the sunlight. She exuded a refined and professional aura that exemplified feminine elegance. She had an exquisite and pretty face. Every strand of hair shimmered in the sunlight. Her presence was impossible to ignore.
The clamor of angry voices disappeared again.
Everyone whispered, “Is that Peter’s new boss? She’s so young. Why does it feel like she’s not much older than Peter?”
All of them were talking at the same time. Pearl looked at Connor. He was covered in a liquid mixture of eggs and tomatoes. His expression had never been darker.
He had never felt so angry
before.
Pearl took out her phone and scanned the crowd. She recorded everyone’s faces. The fans blocked her. “What are you doing?”
Pearl said calmly, “You guys attacked my people and damaged my car. Why are you asking me what I’m doing? I’m recording the scene as I called the police to make arrests,”
Pearl wondered if any of them had read the law. Causing public disorder and gathering to inflict violence were crimes with hefty penalties. There would be negative impacts on Peter’s future as a celebrity because of these fans.
Pearl spoke, “I seriously suspect that you guys are not real fans and are here to cause Peter distress.”
The fans were dumbfounded. Their faces turned red. After a long time, they said, “You’re the fake one! We’re all his real fans. We’re targeting an incompetent boss like you who only cares about profit!”
The eggs and tomatoes flew towards them again. Mason and the driver got out of the car and blocked them. Pearl stood there. Her expression was cold. Mason opened the car door and pushed Connor in. He urged Pearl, “Ms. Woolery, they’ve lost their minds. Hurry up and get in!”
Pearl turned around and was about to get into the car when a pebble hit her head. Someone shouted, “Go to hell!”
Suddenly, she could feel an additional weight on her back. A broad and warm chest was pressed against her like a mountain. Then, she heard a muffled snort. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
