Desperate counterattack Ch 4

Chapter

Section

I was practically buzzing

Yes

All those jerks who’d been so cocky, so eager 

to hurt me, weren’t getting away with it

But I was a mess, covered in dirt and blood

Dad thought I looked familiar

He started to kneel down to get a closer look

but the bodyguard cut him off

The bodyguard stammered, forcing a smile

Mr. Miller, what brings you here?” 

Dad just scoffed, Do I need to ask your 

permission to do something?” 

He pointed at me, lying on the ground

Who is that? What’s going on here?” 

The bodyguard’s face went tight, looking 

guilty

く 

Mr. Miller, it’s just some nobody student

She’s been giving Ashley trouble, so I was just 

teaching her a lesson.” 

Dad wasn’t buying it

He frowned

The Miller Corporation was huge, involved in 

everything

Dad was always working, always dealing with 

something

He valued efficiency

He hated incompetence

Even when I was in grade school, he thought 

the teachers were too slow and hired

The bodyguard’s stammering, his inability to 

get to the point, was driving Dad nuts

Dad started to push past him, ready to see 

for himself who I was

But Chad stepped forward

Mr. Miller, don’t bother. Why waste your time 

on trash? I swear, the bodyguard’s telling the 

truth

That person’s a lowlife who’s been harassing 

Ashley. You don’t want to get your hands 

dirty.” 

The other students chimed in

Yeah, Mr. Miller, we were just helping 

Ashley!” 

With everyone backing Chad up, Dad 

hesitated

He straightened up, giving up

I panicked, fighting to speak or even make 

eye contact

But the beating had hurt my throat

My mouth was filling with blood

I couldn’t say a word

Dad was about to leave

I clawed at the floor, trying to get his 

attention

Dad

く 

It’s me

Look at me

Help

Then, Dad stopped dead

But he wasn’t looking at me

He’d spotted Michael, who’d been dragged 

into the stairwell

Michael was halfout, unconscious

Dad told his assistant to bring him over and 

frowned

What happened to him?” 

Then he remembered what I’d said about 

ditching Chad for Michael

And the girl who was with him? Where is 

she?” 

Chad bit his lip, avoiding eye contact

Uh, we didn’t see any girl with him.” 

He couldn’t resist asking, Mr. Miller, who is 

that girl? If she’s important, we can help you 

look.” 

Dad didn’t answer

To protect me, my family never revealed my 

identity

It prevented people from trying to use me

And I always went through Dad’s personal 

assistant

Most of the Miller security team barely knew 

what I looked like

Dad told them to take Michael and left

I grabbed a small rock and threw it at Dad’s

feet

It rolled a few times and caught his attention
