Chapter 79 Cool Charlotte

Chapter 79 Cool Charlotte

Eloise held Charlotte's arm and asked, "Char, what exactly is amphetamine?"

Charlotte thought for a moment and said, "If you're not familiar with amphetamine, let me give you another example." She stared at Vincent and continued, "Amphetamine is commonly known as smokable cocaine."

The people around sighed, and even Cecilia was surprised, "Do these people take drugs?"

Charlotte explained, "The effects of amphetamine products are almost the same as methamphetamine, so let me give you an example. Amphetamine is a colorless liquid with a spicy taste and a faint odor. It is a central nervous system stimulant and antidepressant. However, due to its addictive nature when injected intravenously, it is classified as a drug."

"All in all, they're taking drugs!" Eloise took a deep breath and said, "Don't take them to the hospital! Call the police right away!"

At this moment, people from Roblia High School rushed forward and pleaded, "Please! Please don't call the police!"

Eloise sneered, "You need to take responsibility for what you have done. You're willing to do anything to win a game, even resort to drugs. If it weren't for Nicholas playing today, we would have lost!"

The person was about to cry and said, "We tried to persuade Vincent, but he didn't listen to us. He insisted... I checked amphetamine myself and knew it was a drug, so I didn't inject too much. Vincent used the most, and we...we didn't expect it to turn out like this..."

Charlotte asked, "Was this the first time you used it?"

The person replied nervously, "We used it several times during training before..."

Charlotte closed her eyes and spoke softly, "You should go to a drug rehabilitation center. Amphetamine is highly addictive, and repeated use may lead to abnormal cravings and an imbalance in the process of excitement and inhibition, causing mental symptoms. It is highly dependent and can easily progress into consuming methamphetamine or other drugs. Therefore, it is necessary to detox. Go as soon as possible, and it may help you have a better future."

The person was shocked and said, "But Vincent said..."

"Did he say that it was just a stimulant?" Charlotte saw him nod blankly and sighed gently, "He didn't deceive you. Amphetamine was initially developed by Edeleanu in Bedlinr, and it was indeed the earliest form of a stimulant."

The person's hands started to tremble, and in a daze, he looked at Vincent, who was still in an excited state, then looked at his own hands. Tears began to fall as he said, "So, is my whole life ruined?"

He was the youngest among the group, and he hadn't spoken much before. Charlotte felt a bit sorry for him. She squatted down, looked into his eyes, and said, "No external force can destroy one's will unless you don't want to persevere."

The young man was stunned for a moment and suddenly burst into tears.

Charlotte also felt a bit uncomfortable. These young men were all adults, and using drugs carried legal consequences. Their future prospects might be completely ruined.

But it was their own choice.

Charlotte reached into her pocket and found a fruit candy that Nicholas had given her. She placed it in the young man's palm and said, "Don't do this anymore in the future."

Without waiting for his reaction, she stood up and said to Nicholas, "Call the police."

The rest members of Roblia High School were stunned by what Charlotte had said earlier. They had just learned that they had taken drugs, and upon hearing about calling the police, they desperately exclaimed, "Don't call the police! Don't call the police!"

There was no longer any trace of their arrogance.

A few girls couldn't bear it and whispered, "How about keeping it secret?"

Charlotte looked at the two girls and realized they were the ones who accused her of seeking attention. She said calmly, "By doing this, you're not helping them but harming them."

The girl with a ponytail was Andrew's fangirl, who already didn't like Charlotte. Upon hearing Charlotte's words, she immediately retorted, "Who do you think you are to say that? If we call the police, they will definitely be expelled from school! Their lives will be ruined!"

Many others joined in as if they had forgotten their previous resentment towards Roblia High School. They all began to show their kindness.

Charlotte said, "If we don't report this to the police and keep it secret..." Whenever Charlotte talked about something she cared about and was good at, she always remained calm. Despite her soft voice, there was a strange power that made people hesitate to argue. She continued, "Do you know why there are so many people in this world who use drugs and why so many people relapse after leaving rehab?"

She said calmly, "Because once addicted to drugs, it's a lifelong struggle to quit. Their current addiction may not be severe, but if the police don't intervene, during the impulsive ages of 17 or 18, there's a ninety-nine percent chance that they won't be able to resist the path of drug addiction.

There are countless examples of families being destroyed because of drug abuse in society. That's what it truly means to ruin lives."

The two girls couldn't say a word and left embarrassedly.

Nicholas smirked, and his serene eyes reflected the beautiful outline of Charlotte's face. Unintentionally, he exuded a touch of tenderness and said, "Anthony, what are you waiting for? Call the police."

Anthony snapped out of his daze, "Ah, okay."

As he spoke, he took out his phone.

Eloise looked at Charlotte admirably and said, "Char! You were awesome just now! I've fallen in love with you!"

The awesome Charlotte asked confusedly and softly, "What does

it means?"

Eloise thought, "No, where is my cool Char?"

Eloise and the other people all changed their impressions of Charlotte. Even Anthony couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

If it weren't for her today, it would be impossible to expose Roblia High School's use of stimulants and they would have lost the basketball game.

The audience began whispering, and posts filled the campus network. The most popular one was called "I think something's wrong with me. I think that illegitimate daughter is super cool!".

Below the post was a series of anonymous comments, all showing their agreement.

The police arrived soon. Vincent had calmed down and didn't need anyone to hold him anymore. He curled up on the ground in pain, groaning.

Charlotte knew that this was the side effect, which included restlessness, insomnia, tremors, nervousness, and irritation. None of them were pleasant. If someone took too much amphetamine, it could lead to a severe toxic neurological disorder, which was similar to paranoid schizophrenia. Judging by Vincent's condition, he may already have the same symptoms.

Charlotte didn't have any sleeping pills on her, so she squatted down next to Vincent and used a silver needle to stimulate a few acupuncture points to help him sleep and alleviate some of his discomfort.

Eloise widened her eyes and said, "Char... Did you kill him?" Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Charlotte said helplessly, "No, I just helped him fall asleep."

Eloise pouted, "He doesn't deserve sympathy. Let him suffer it! After all, these things were all caused by himself."
