One of the guys closest to him suddenly made a move, saying, "Who the hell are you? How dare you stick your nose in our business?"
To everyone''s surprise, Arton swiftly caught the punching at him before he twisted and pushed him down the aisle. The guy ended up colliding with Kimberly.
She staggered but steadied herself quickly. Infuriated, she roared, "Why are you afraid of him? Attack him together! That''ll teach him how not to meddle in other people''s business." A few rough-looking guys rushed toward Arton.
The restaurant was in chaos. Diners who were closer scattered hurriedly, forgetting about their meals.
I took advantage of the chaos to pull Eleanor close to me.
It was impossible to leave at this point, and I couldn''t do that anyway.
Eleanor was scared stiff, her face pale. "I''m fine, Chlo. Stay away and don''t get involved."
The men grappled with Arton, but they were no match for him. He had grown up fighting brawls and was fearless.
Soon, the men were all on the ground. Arton stepped on one of them, and he wailed in pain.
Kimberly quickly came to my side. She grabbed me without any warning, and I struggled. "What are you doing? Let me go!"
She reached for a wine bottle from a nearby table, smashed it with a ''crack,'' and pointed the sharp broken edge at my neck. She screamed at Arton, "If you make one more move, I won''t be nice to her!" Eleanor eximed, "Kimberly, don''t do that. Let her go! Take me instead."
"Don''t move. If you do, I''ll show you what it looks like when she''s bled out." Kimberly was acting like a maniac.
"Kimberly..."
Arton looked at me. He probably didn''t think that the petite Kimberly would be so ruthless and dare to use me as a hostage.
He took a step forward, his eyes widening. "If you dare touch her, you won''t live to see another day."
"Hah! I lost the will to live long ago. So what if I''m dead? She sent my whole family to prison. I only exist for revenge. Looks like everyone wants to witness a spectacle today, so bring it on. Haha, what a rare opportunity." Sheughed sinisterly.
I couldn''t see her expression, but I could feel the malice emanating from her.
The broken bottle was pointed
directly at my neck, and I dared not
make any sudden moves. I could glimpse the sharp ss out of the corner of my eye.
Arton was furious and yelled, "Let her go!"
I didn''t think this man would be so concerned about my safety. His eyes burned with anger.
Life was truly unpredictable.
"Let go?"
berly''s wickedughter
resembled that of a witch. "You idiot. Who asked you to meddle?
think I can let go just like that.
Eleanor eximed, "Kimberly... let her go and take me instead! I''ll exchange ces with her."
She tried to rush over, but Kimberly shouted, "Stop right there. Who do you think you are?"
"Eleanor, it''s okay. Don''t move."
"Are you scared, Chloe?" Kimberly asked by my ear, her voice chilling.
"Do you know who she is? She''s As''s wife. If you hurt her, As won''t spare you," Eleanor said to Kimberly as she trembled. The people around us gasped. "As?"
"She''s..."Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.
"She''s not good enough for As." Kimberly became even more agitated when she heard Eleanor''s words.
I knew Kimberly had always been infatuated with As. She acted like a love-struck teenager whenever she saw him. I supposed that her anger toward me wasn''t just because of her family. It was more because of my rtionship with As.
She deeply resented me from the bottom of her heart.
"I''ll kill you today, Chloe! You don''t deserve to be with As. Why did it have to be you?" Kimberly tightened her grip on me.
Just then, there wasmotion at the entrance. Everyone turned to look. I saw As striding onto the scene, exuding an imposing aura. "Let her go!"
