Chapter 87 Destined to be Disappointed
"There's no need for that."
Floyd refused. "Rebecca's request is for you to post an apology on the forum and pin it for three days. As for when to post it, I'll let you know."
Samuel sneered.
Wait for notification?
Wasn't it just to make everyone who had maliciously speculated about Rebecca or trash-talked her apologize together? That way, she could intimidate everyone and prove her innocence at the same time.
'Too bad, Rebecca, you're bound to be disappointed!' he thought to himself.
Amused inside, Samuel responded with a cocky expression, "Sure..."
Watching Floyd and the police turn and leave, Samuel looked back at Orion, who was glaring at him with frustration. "Dad, say hi to the teacher for me. Once I post that apology, have him block my account."
Once blocked, all posts under "Rose" would be hidden and invisible.
Release it a week later, when everything had settled down.
Perfect!
"You're graduating in a few months. Can't you just stay out of trouble..."
Orion was so angry that the few remaining hairs on his head trembled. "If something really happens, let's see how you're going to submit your resume to the Windsor Group!"
"Yeah, yeah, I know. Nothing's going to happen..."
Samuel walked out with his hands in his pockets, not even looking back. "It's just small stuff, what could happen? Besides, the Windsor Group looks at my computer skills when hiring. Who's going to check my background on some forum? You're overthinking it!"
As his words faded, the office door closed, and nothing more could be heard.
...
When Floyd called, Rebecca was washing vegetables.
Hearing him say that the other party had a good attitude and was willing to apologize publicly, and that the others should be easy to handle too but would just need a bit more time.
Rebecca looked down. "Thank you, Mr. Ryan!"
At noon, she had been so angry that she wanted to tear those people's mouths apart and sue them all until they ended up in jail.
But after calming down, Rebecca knew that the final result would only be an apology from the other party and her letting it go.
Sure enough, that's how it was.
"Rebecca, would it be convenient to tell me the identity of the man in the black coat in the photo?"
Floyd continued, "If you really want the other party to pay a heavy price, it definitely won't work from your end. Whether it's defamation of reputation or slander, if the school wants to minimize the issue, then since this matter only spread within Empire University, it can't be considered serious, and we can only get as far as a public apology. If we could use Mr. Johnson's identity, with the Johnson family's status..."
Before Floyd could finish, Rebecca interrupted, "No need!"
That wasn't Dennis.
And she didn't want to drag Frederick into this matter either.
"Let's just leave it at that..."
Rebecca said softly, "As long as they publicly apologize on the forum, let's just end this matter there."
Not knowing about Rebecca and Dennis's broken engagement, and thinking she just didn't want to involve her fiancé in such matters, Floyd responded understandingly, "Okay."
After hanging up, Rebecca looked up to meet Lucy's indignant face. "Just an apology? That's nothing. What's the point? You can control those despicable people's mouths, but not their hearts. The damage has already been done. What good is an apology?"
"It's okay... as long as I don't care about it."
Rebecca smiled and hugged Lucy, asking with amusement, "Lucy, do you mind if I ask you a question?"
Lucy nodded. "Go ahead."
