It was as if, at any moment, the two of them would pounce on the girls and start groping them! As people were on alert against Arthur and Taylor, they couldn't help but start praising Finley's kindness again. Several girls were already starry-eyed. "Oh my! Finley is so gentle and kind! Even now, he’s still speaking up for these two!" "Finley himself was framed, he must be feeling terrible, and yet he's still thinking about them, asking us not to scold them anymore. Finley is just too kind!" "Isn't he just like a real-life Prince Charming! Oh my! Does Finley have a girlfriend?" "Is it too late for me to go after Finley? He’s so kind and nice, being his girlfriend, I can’t even imagine how happy I would be!" "After receiving such a huge favor from Finley, those two are still just standing there, not even rushing to show their gratitude!" "If it were someone else, they would probably have been expelled by now!" This barrage of comments came like a rehearsed play, leaving Arthur and Taylor no opportunity to interject. Everest and Finley were quite pleased with the current effect and silently watched Arthur and Taylor, waiting for their response. Many in the audience were watching them too! Taylor’s palms were already sweating with nervousness. Getting caught ogling girls was bad enough, but being exposed in front of everyone was worse. All he wanted now was to find a hole to crawl into! Although his peeking was just to see if there was anyone he found attractive, without any impure or messy thoughts, it was still peeking. He regretted deeply at that moment that he should not have dragged Arthur along! Arthur was innocent; he had just been hanging around out of boredom and hadn’t even looked extra! It was he who had dragged Arthur into this! But Arthur had no thoughts of fleeing, he raised an eyebrow and countered. “Are you done talking?” Seeing his attitude, Everest’s anger, which had just subsided, flared up again in an instant. "Arthur! What kind of attitude is that!" Kent and Henry were instantly furious, veins popping."Arthur! You’ve made such a big mistake, Finley kindly pointed it out, and you still refuse to repent!" "You don’t even acknowledge your mistake, and you still have that attitude! Worthless is just worthless! You two are beyond hope!" Even Taylor was shocked by Arthur’s attitude. He quietly tugged at Arthur’s sleeve, signaling him to stop talking. Speaking more now would only be futile. Arthur ignored Taylor's subtle hint, seeing that the crowd was about to rise again to a moral high ground to accuse them. Arthur suddenly raised his hand, his gaze sharp as he swept it across the crowd. Everyone was startled by his sudden piercing look! This unexpected silence, coupled with Arthur’s gesture, suddenly made it seem as if all these people were under Arthur's command, a mere gesture from him, and they would fall silent. Finley nearly bit his silver teeth to pieces at this sight! This waste! How dare he make such a gesture at this time! Arthur still stood straight, seizing the moment of everyone’s astonishment to speak up. “Why do you assume Taylor was ogling you just because his hands are clean?” Arthur glanced at the girls who were eyeing them cautiously and scoffed, "Sure, you're all pretty enough, but you don't hold a candle to the seniors at our school. Feel free to ask anyone about Taylor here—has he ever acted sleazy or rough during his time at school? He's turned down countless beauties; do you really think he'd bother ogling freshmen? Isn’t that a bit conceited of you?” Hearing Arthur’s words, everyone involuntarily gasped! This was not following the script at all! To say such things in front of so many girls, he really dared! Finley’s fists clenched suddenly. He had never expected Arthur to dare say such things! In this world, only villains and women are difficult to maintain, and telling girls they are not good-looking is taboo, especially in front of so many of them! He had offended all these girls at once! Everest's face turned red with anger. He pointed furiously at Taylor’s hand, demanding, “Then what about Taylor’s hands! If you were pulling weeds, why are his hands so clean!”Arthur casually glanced at Taylor’s hand and replied nonchalantly, “We just got here, and he was just being lazy, that’s why he didn’t start weeding right away.” Everest was momentarily stunned by the retort!
