Chapter 354

Chapter 354 Broken Windows Theory The karma spirit finally understood that Lilly was no ordinary child.

The malignant spirits behind her worked for her!

What a nightmare.

He had resisted so fiercely but now cowered in surrender. “I’ll talk.”

The spirits around the child changed their stances.

Lilly retreated to the side and reached for candy in her pocket.

The group of spirits loitered around and waited for him to speak.

The karma spirit quashed the sinking feeling building in him before starting, “My name is Billy Sawyer…

I was born in the year XX…”

He grew up and lived his life in a small county. It wasn’t a large community by any means. It was one where news of someone cheating could spread like wildfire around the neighborhood.

“I was taking a stroll down a street and noticed how a hotel seemed that day. Someone was getting married.”

“I went to take a look. The newlywed’s portrait was out in the open… The bride was gorgeous!”

He began to lose himself in his memories of the girl’s beauty.

“What happened after that?” Lilly asked as she crunched on her candy.

The karma spirit said awkwardly. “The girl was beautiful but the guy was average at best. So, I didn’t think before I said…”

“Huh? Isn’t she that second-rate call girl? She must’ve made enough money and went on to con some gullible man into making an honest woman of her!”

The harem spirit was speechless. “You’re quite the bastard to say that at someone’s wedding!”

The karma spirit pursed his lips. “Are you kidding? Why else would a woman that beautiful marry a short and average man…? The guy didn’t seem rich either. That’s why I made the joke…”

The weakling spirit frowned. He rebuked his fellow spirit with a voice that had the characteristic gentleness of a juvenile. “How could you speculate what others are like based on a portrait? You’re nasty!”

The unlucky ghost snorted. “Did you witness the wom prostituting herself? What gave you the right to -call her one?”

Lilly cut in. “Huh? What’s a prostitute?”

She looked confused, Gilbert was curiously watching Lilly stomp on something while muttering to herself.

He had texted Anthony on the goings-on while Lilly had her exchange with the spirits. The only answer he received in return was. “Don’t disturb her.”

That was what prompted him to stay by the wayside and wait until Lilly brought up the matter of prostitutes.

Who is she talking to? Who’s teaching my niece these things?!

“Ahem! Lilly…” Gilbert felt heartbroken. “Kids shouldn’t ask that.”

“…”

That again.

It was a pity Gilbert couldn’t see the spirits hovering around them.

The harem spirit began to cheerfully explain, “It means..

The weakling spirit and unlucky ghost shut her mouth.

Ms. Ugly was rendered speechless. “Have more tact…”

“Oomf Mmph!” It wasn’t as if the harem spirit was going to tell her outright. All she wanted to do was make vague statements.

Lilly looked at Pablo..

Pablo’s expression was placid. “He’s insulting a girl by claiming she’s dirty.”

“What does ‘dirty’ mean?” She continued to press for answers.

Gilbert felt helpless and exasperated.

The weakling spirit cleared her throat and said gently, An example would be your stepmother. Tearing families apart and feigning innocence while looking for their next target destroy.”

It finally dawned onto Lilly.

How horrible!

She turned to the karma spirit was a renewed vigor to beat him up for saying such a terrible thing.

“What happened after that? Did you get beaten to death?” Lilly asked.

F The karma spirit sighed. “I’d be lucky if it were that simple.”

“I was just joking. I took a few photos and left…”

His joke wasn’t funny at all. Guests who heard him began to spread the baseless claims to one another. It took half an hour for the wedding reception to hear about it.

It was said that the bride and groom received jeers while they were exchanging rings.

“I started to hear rumors that the newlyweds had gotten into a fight the very next day because the wife was a call girl.”

Lilly grew angry. “It was all because of you!”

The harem spirit shot him looks of contempt. “What happened after that?”

The karma spirit said softly. “I wanted to join in on the fun because everyone was talking about it…”

He uploaded the photos he took that day to Myspace. This was during a time when video platforms were not yet popularized. The largest platform then was Myspace.

He shared pictures of the couple and added a tasteless joke to it. “The second-rate call girl got married.

A tragedy… Ah, I often think of the countless late-night talks we’ve had where sparks collide. I feel so, so sad…”

Sexual rumors were the easiest to spread.

It took less than a night for the karma spirit’s account to be spread around.

The girl who had just gotten married somehow became an unknowing scapegoat, resulting in her reputation being dragged through the mud.

The girl, in her fury, went onto Myspace to prove her innocence with her work schedule that contained.

detailed arrangements of her work hours. She also provided documentation that proved that she had been working as an accountant for several years by that point “I was just fooling around. What’s with all the anxiety? It’s just a joke that could be easily clarified,” the karma spirit said.

“I didn’t know who she was but after she made her statement, I tracked down her Myspace account and went through her photo album…”

It turned out that she was even more beautiful without makeup. She had fair skin, red lips, and white teeth. She looked innocent and beautiful.

“I saved her photos and uploaded them…”

“Shut up. We all have a history.”

The group of spirits were disgusted. “…”

This guy is going too far.

He wasn’t bad-mouthing her anymore. He was outright fabricating stories!

“Are you insane?!” The harem spirit asked in anger.

The karma spirit spoke awkwardly, “It was all for fun. What is she so afraid of if she hadn’t done that before?”

Lilly and her entourage of spirits were at a loss for words.

Lilly wasn’t privy to what the adult world was like but even she knew this spirit was a complete bastard.

“And then?” She swallowed her crunched-up candy.

The karma spirit couldn’t keep it up any longer. Even he knew by this point that it had gone far beyond a joke.

“I had a lot of people commenting on the photo.”

“I was lucky to have a taste for myself.”

“She has good skills.”

“She’s not bad. Very professional and dedicated.”

“A little pricey. Eight thousand a night.”

If a window in a building was broken and left unrepaired, the rest of the windows would soon follow.

What malicious person wouldn’t want in on the hilarity of breaking more windows?

The intact window began to shatter piece by piece…

The innocent girl, whose reputation had been tarnished overnight, could no longer clear her name.
