Chapter 165 Midnight Justice
He had already ced her phone on the nightstand.
She was still wide awake, unable to sleep at all, so she could only scroll through short videos to pass the time.
She didn’t expect toe across a video of Randall being doused with feces.
The whole thing started when someone posted evidence online of Randall drugging a female celebrity, forcing her to serve others while unconscious, eventually driving her to a mental breakdown and suicide by jumping off a building.
When that celebrity was alive, she had a bad reputation, surrounded by rumors and scandals, and hadn’t had any notable roles.
But after her death, her fans came forward to prove that all those so–called stories about her throwing tantrums or bullying staff were fabricated. She had actually been a kind person.
Once she passed away, several TV dramas she had filmed but were previously shelved began to air one after another and gained massive poprity. She received widespread acim.
It was ironic–when she was alive, everyone insulted her and practically wished her dead. But once she was gone, everyone suddenly started loving her.
She became a crush for countless people.
And the power of a crush is unmatched–especially one on someone no longer alive.
Now that it was confirmed she had taken her own life because of Randall’s monstrous actions, her fans were heartbroken and furious.
Especially since Randall used to have such a polished public image. Now that people knew he was just a beast in human skin, even ordinary onlookers felt deceived and enraged, wishing they could skin him alive.
The same person who posted the initial evidence also uploaded proof of Randall and his scummy friends torturing female college students without connections, leaving them infertile or permanently injured.
After Randall’s hospital visit information was leaked online, enragedizens stormed his hospital room with buckets of filth and dumped it all over him.
Randall’s actions didn’t just vite social norms–they also broke thew.
Afterizens called the police, officers arrived at the hospital quickly.
It was pretty unfortunate for the cops, though. pping handcuffs onto someonepletely covered in filth probably wasn’t a pleasant job.
In the video, Randall’s face was so smeared with muck you couldn’t even recognize him.
Once a tall, confident figure, he now looked hunched over and timid, like a pathetic clown.

Watching him in such a state, Lily felt deeply satisfied.

Althoughizens didn’t know who leaked the evidence that took Randall down, Lily could guess.
It must have been James who had Ashton do it.
James really was an amazing person.
She’d have to be more mindful from now on. She absolutely couldn’t repay kindness with disrespect again -not by touching him, not by making him ufortable in any way.
Most of the videos online showing Randall getting sshed were pretty simr.
But Lily still watched one after another, thoroughly enjoying every second.
She was just about to search for more clips from different angles when her phone chimed.
It was a message from Elias.
Strangely enough, he was apologizing again.
She nced at the time–it was already close to one in the morning.
Ever since they reconnected, Elias always said goodnight before bed.
She figured he was saying sorry now because he’d forgotten to say it tonight.
She wasn’t the type to get mad over something that minor. She quickly replied, “Elias, let’s both agree never to say sorry to each other again. If you apologize to me one more time, I’m seriously going to get mad.”
“Okay.”
His reply came almost instantly.
Picturing Elias acting like a stiff old man, all serious and brooding just because he forgot to say goodnight, Lily couldn’t help butugh.
She rolled around on the bed and burst outughing.
She was just about to tease him a little when the bathroom door opened, and James walked out.
James had changed into a clean tank top and loose lounge pants.
His build was just too good. Wearing that tank top showed off the sculpted muscles in his arms, making his figure look even taller and more powerful.
She had identally touched him earlier, and she knew now that the rest of him was just as… impressive.
The moment that thought popped into her head, Lily was mortified. She immediately lowered her head in
shame.
And as soon as she looked down, she spotted the bite marks and scratch marks she’d left on his skin, and her embarrassment deepened.

The fact that she could smile so easily while talking to someone else, yet acted like she’d seen a ghost whenever she saw him–he couldn’t exin why, but it made his chest feel tight again.
Still, letting her get to him was a mistake.
He wasn’t going to keep making mistakes.
Without looking at her again, he strode off on his long legs, carrying a chill in the air as he entered the study.
Once she heard the door shut and was sure James had gone into the study, Lily slowly lifted her head again, still wearing her guilty little student expression.
She silently swore to herself that if she ever crossed the line with James again, she’d punish herself by gaining ten pounds.
But her brain had a mind of its own. The moment she made that vow, the image of James with his shirt undone, covered in red marks, popped right back into her head.
