Chapter 170 – Three Bastards Finale: Breaking The Big Boy In The Closet (8)
__Phone call__
"About my call, don\'t worry about it, Em. I just don\'t want you to get scolded after a long day," the red rose man chuckled. "You should be thankful that I help you out, right? You should thank me instead for bailing you out, and I\'m not a demanding boyfriend. All I want is to hear you say thank you, and I love you to me."
"You know that I won\'t say the second one, right?" I quickly voiced my stance. I didn\'t want him to think that I was into him. As much as I felt gratitude for his help, telling someone, I love you without actually feeling the real thing was a big no-no for me.
"Hm? Why not? Is it because you don\'t feel the same love as I do right now?" The red rose man asked.
…
I stayed silent because I didn\'t know how to react to that. Of course, I couldn\'t feel anything for him, because I had never met him before! He just suddenly showed up in my life and started doing this and that.
"It\'s fine, my dear. I know that you don\'t remember anything about us in the previous world, and I don\'t blame you for that. Besides, it is also my fault for not coming upfront earlier."
"But I will make sure that we will be together in the end," the red rose man said. "Don\'t you see how I can enter the school and help you in various ways? It\'s my own way to show my love to you, Em. I\'m helping you to ruin those bastards life because they had ruined yours in the previous life."
"And they had ruined the love of my life," the red rose man said. There was a long silence between us after that until he suddenly laughed rambunctiously. "HAHAHAHAH! You will not believe what I did to them after your death. They all suffer a fate worse than death, and some get tortured. Do you know, in our previous life, I castrated Thomas, chop-chop and then let him die of bleeding for the whole day? It\'s so funny to see!"
"I told him to apologize to your grave, but he doesn\'t seem to understand. None of those people understands your pain, my love."
"So I send them to the grave, hoping that you can kill them over and over there, haha… Haha…. AHAHAHAHA!"
Beep.

I hung up the call after listening to his crazy ramble once more. I got used to it, I guess. As creepy as it sounded, the red rose man never actually harmed me. In fact, he helped me in so many ways, I had to admit that I wouldn\'t be able to finish my mission without his help.
But I didn\'t want to ponder too much about that crazy guy. The most important thing right now was to text Elise;
—
Emmy: Don\'t forget to edit the video. Cut it only on the part where Thomas was beating Miss Alba badly. We don\'t want anyone to know about Noah\'s secret.
Elise: Yep, I\'m on it. It\'ll be hard proof against them since Miss Alba might still be unconscious right now.
—
After I texted her, I went to sleep, hoping that I could get what I truly wanted, the sweet, sweet revenge for those bastards who had beaten me to hell and back.
I wanted them to taste their own medicine in jail because if the sexual assault allegation was proven to be true, Thomas would never have a peaceful life in the prison, including Jackson and Jorge as well.
**
The next morning, I woke up at 10.00 A.M. as I expected. Yesterday was exhausting for me, so it was normal to wake up late. Fortunately, Mom never scolded me for waking up late on the weekend. Because she was also free, she would cook for breakfast and sometimes lunch.
It was still horrible food, but hey, mother\'s love beats everything, including a bad cook.
I checked my phone and found out that Elise had been texting me fifteen minutes ago.
—
Elise: I\'m in the police station with seven other people, Em. I\'ve edited the video and showed it to the police. I also told them the reason why we\'re here.
Elise: Since I can\'t really record, I\'ll just call you once Thomas, Jorge, and Jackson have been summoned, okay?
Emmy: You guys haven\'t met those bastards yet?"
Elise: Soon.
—
I waited for about fifteen minutes, and then Elise called me but said nothing as I was listening to the conversation between Elise and everyone there.
__Phone call__ Third person POV__
"So, these are the perpetrators of this case. We caught them yesterday, beating one of his female teachers until her face was bloodied. She is currently in the hospital and still unconscious, and we are waiting for her to recover so she would be able to testify later on," the police officer said on the phone. "But since you come here with seven others to testify against him, then please tell us in detail."
Elise and the seven other victims were placed inside a room with Thomas, Jorge, and Jackson sitting face to face. There were three police officers holding them, so they wouldn\'t just lash out towards Elise and the others.
Jorge and Jackson lowered their heads in shame because they knew what they had done to these people. But Thomas was still sitting straight while glaring at Elise and the rest of them, "You guys want to say something here?" He asked, trying to intimidate Elise and the rest.
The rest got scared instantly, especially the girls, because they had been sexually assaulted and beaten. And it left a big scar in their minds when they saw the face of their perpetrator.
But Elise didn\'t falter at all. She knew this was her only chance to get the revenge she needed. Honestly, she thought she would just give the testimony in court or something.
But maybe the police wanted to get more reaction from Thomas and his gang, so they could be persecuted with a heavier sentence.
"I am here as the representative of my seven friends. We come here today to report about the sexual assault, physical assault, and bullying these three had been doing for years."
"And it\'s not just a \'high school teenager playful kind of bullying. They beat me until my body was numb and then stripped me naked before they groped me everywhere. I kept begging for their mercy, but they kept on doing that and left me in at the side of an empty road alone," Elise reported everything that Thomas, Jorge, and Jackson did to her. "This accident happened on April 13th this year, and I\'ve been traumatized ever since. I can\'t even leave my house without feeling scared, and I\'ve been taking antidepressants for months to battle that dark thought of ending my own life."
"And you, Thomas, Jorge, Jackson, you guys are the ones who made me like this. I will never stop until you get the punishment that you deserve."
Elise stared at Thomas\' eyes without fear. He had wanted to do this for a long time, to tell the police about what happened. But she had no courage, and she thought nobody would believe her anyway.
But Emmy was able to do the impossible, to take down these three bastards at once, in a clean sweep as well. She cautiously gathered all the necessary information and formed a plan that was 99% foolproof, despite her having very limited resources against them.
Emmy became her source of courage. If Emmy could do the impossible, then Elise could do it as well.
This would also be her last stand against Thomas, making sure these bastards knew she wasn\'t just a weak girl they could easily assault.
After Elise, the others started voicing their experience one by one, and the more they spoke, the worse Thomas\' expression got.
He was neither denying nor confirming it, maybe because of a guilty conscience, or maybe he just couldn\'t be bothered after getting caught red-handed last night.
After receiving all the testimony, the police waited for Thomas, Jorge, or Jackson to open their mouths. But there was no voice from them. They were in dead silence.
Elise got impatient and confronted them, "You guys won\'t even apologize? You guys are truly bastards without hearts!"
"Oh, come on, stop your bitchy rambling," Thomas finally opened his mouth. But he sounded as arrogant as ever. Even though his sentence would be really heavy for what they did. "I got caught beating Miss Alba and destroying the school property. I don\'t really care for the rest, you guys can testify in the court later on, but I won\'t give a single crap about it."
"You think you guys will get the last laugh after taking me down? Haha! I already know the risk, and I don\'t care whether I\'ll be in jail or not.. My parents will come soon, so I don\'t have time for you guys."
