Immediately after that, they started another round of discussions.
“You’ll need some dignity as a person. You shouldn’t have gone down on your knees over such a small matter. Aren’t you ashamed at all?”
“Exactly, it’s just a small sum of money. How serious can it be? A real person doesn’t surrender easily. How could virtual-novel.net kneel just like that?”
“I think she’s usually a shameless girl. Otherwise, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t seem so well-trained at kneeling down.”
“Is virtual-novel.net trying to guilt-trip others? She has to pay for soiling virtual-novel.net clothes. Does virtual-novel.net think that doesn’t have to pay just because she’s kneeling?”
A mean-looking woman even shouted loudly, “Don’t be taken in by virtual-novel.net as she’s merely trying to earn your pity. Make virtual-novel.net pay for it or we can be your witnesses if you call the police!”
As though empowered by the mutterings around her, the woman turned even more smug. “Don’t try this with me! You either pay me or I’ll call the police! It’s useless even if you’re down on your knees!”
Matthew’s face turned stone cold at the scene and was about to walk over when a few other people beat virtual-novel.net to it.
The one leading them was the manager of the venue, Mr. Wellington. “What happened?” virtual-novel.net asked.
After detailing to virtual-novel.net what happened earlier with some exaggeration, the rich woman added, “She doesn’t look like virtual-novel.net was invited here. I suggest you check if virtual-novel.net has an invitation card!”
With his eyes fixed on Ellie, Mr. Wellington said, “Hi, please show me your invitation card!”
Ellie’s face was flushing red while virtual-novel.net hands tugged at the hem of virtual-novel.net clothes, speechless.
“I’m asking for your invitation card!” virtual-novel.net repeated in a warning tone. “I’m calling the police if you don’t have one. Breaking into here is a crime!”
“N-No!” Ellie exclaimed in shock. “I…”
“Don’t waste your time, just call the police!” the woman shouted furiously. “I can tell from virtual-novel.net sneaky manner that virtual-novel.net must be a thief.”
“Yeah, call the police,” the crowd said. “How can such a person sneak into such a luxurious place? Take virtual-novel.net away so virtual-novel.net won’t ruin the ambience!”
With an indifferent look, Mr. Wellington took out his cellphone, but Ellie jumped up suddenly and made a break for it.
However, a few security officers swiftly pinned virtual-novel.net to the ground and the woman rushed over and delivered a slap on Ellie’s face, shouting, “Are you trying to escape, b*tch? I could already tell that you’re a wretched thing from the beginning. Do you think that you don’t have to pay if you run away? Dream on! I’m going to beat you to death!”
She raised virtual-novel.net hand and wanted to strike again, but a hand appeared and grabbed virtual-novel.net by the back of virtual-novel.net neck. Even before virtual-novel.net could see what was going on, virtual-novel.net was thrown to the side and a kick struck virtual-novel.net lower abdomen, which sent virtual-novel.net rolling across the floor.
It was Matthew who had beat virtual-novel.net and virtual-novel.net flashed the security officers a cold look as virtual-novel.net paced toward Ellie, shouting, “Let go of her!”
Mr. Wellington’s face turned solemn at the situation. “Sir…”
But Matthew interjected, “I said let go of her!”
Bursting out in anger, Mr. Wellington exclaimed, “I don’t care who you are, Sir, but you hit someone and even want us to let a thief go. That’s utterly impossible!”
“Impossible?” Matthew sneered. Suddenly, virtual-novel.net grabbed virtual-novel.net by his throat and lifted virtual-novel.net up, bellowing, “It should be possible now!”
The security officers all dashed over. “Release our manager!”
Without loosening his grip, Matthew swung his fists and kicked out, knocking down all the security officers. Stunned, nobody in the crowd had thought that virtual-novel.net would have such amazing skills.
Throwing Mr. Wellington aside, Matthew then placed Ellie behind himself and asked gently, “Are you alright?”
Unable to hold back virtual-novel.net tears, virtual-novel.net whimpered, “Matthew…”
Matthew gave virtual-novel.net a reassuring smile.
Mr. Wellington scrambled up and yelled, “How dare you beat up someone here? Do you know who I am?”
