883 A Middle Schooler Who Did Not Seem Like a Middle Schooler
The staff members of the TV station building opened their eyes one after the other. Their families immediately went up to them. “Are you feeling unwell?”
They said nothing and just sat there lost in their own thoughts.
One of the staff members, Jone Ashmore, who liked to bully others at work, had been delirious with a fever for the past two days.
His wife, Delilah, asked, “Why don’t you take a few more days off? Let the intern cover you.”
She only said that because that was what Jone often did. He nodded subconsciously. His head was still feeling a little heavy.
When he was about to lie down, he suddenly remembered something. “Have you gone to check up on Budd ? ”
“Budd Wilson?” Delilah was confused. “Didn’t you call him a piece of trash who doesn’t know how to read the room? You also told me to stay away from him.”
Jone felt a little shifty. “I mean such a huge incident has happened to him. You and his wife came from
the same town. It’s only normal that you should visit them.”
“Jone, have you lost your mind?” Delilah was perplexed. “Last time, whenever I went to see them, you would fight with me. Now that you know something has happened to their family, you want to be nice. What did you say in the past?”
Delilah got closer and touched his forehead before saying softly, “Say, do you think his daughter-
“Just go and do as I say!” Jone interrupted Delilah loudly as if the mention of Budd’s daughter was taboo.
Delilah furrowed her brows. “You’re being strange. You were just saying that our daughter should not be like theirs. You even told Kate to stay away from her.”
“Stop talking!” Jone seemed to have been triggered. He quickly went up and placed his hand over Delilah’s mouth. “By the way, where is Kate? I have something to ask her.”
Delilah glared at him. “You have been having a fever for the past few days, scaring the lights out of us. You’re being really weird right now. Kate is doing her homework. You can talk to her later. Have some
water.”
Jone nodded. He added. “Don’t bad mouth Budd and his family again. We’ll visit them after dinner tonight.
Delilah thought that Jone was possessed . The situation in the other staff members‘ families was the
same
That showed how bad Budd had it at work in the past. He was from the military. His legs were not that mobile anymore. The injury he suffered in the past still hurt whenever it started to rain.
He was quite skillful in his work, but he was too direct and did not know how to socialize.

Sometimes , even if his colleagues did not deliberately exclude him from anything, there was naturally a
barrier between them.
Jone was hungry, but when he saw the puddle of water in the toilet, he was terrified. Delilah also noticed
that there seemed to be a snake there. She was calling the apartment’s management.
Kate, who had just finished her homework, came out of her room. Jone immediately got her over. “Kate, let me ask you something. Be honest with me. Budd’s daughter, Dulcie, does her incident have anything to do with you?”
“Dad, why are you bringing her up?” Kate did not dare to look at her parents. She was still a middle schooler, but her actions seemed way too mature for her age.
“Dad, I’ve told you many times. She’s a bitch. She offended people she should not have offended. Why are you still asking about her?”
