Chapter 21 Scorned Again

"Mia, what happened?" Noah furrowed his brows and asked, standing up. Miranda covered her exposed skin through the torn clothes and pointed at the middle-aged man entering, shouting, "This asshole molested me!" The man roared, "Damn it, you bitch! Who molested you? Hurry up and give me my..." Before he could finish his sentence, a hot-tempered woman interrupted him.

The young man who excelled at flattery, named Ethan, jumped up and kicked the middle-aged man in the chest, knocking him down to the ground.

"Damn it, who let a dog like you out? How dare you harass our Fangfang? Why don't you go home and harass your mother?"

Several other male classmates also stepped forward and started punching and kicking the man.

Finally, they threw him out of the private room.

Ethan laughed loudly and said, "This kind of scum deserves a harsh lesson. Otherwise, they'll continue to bully women. They have no manners."

"Cong Brother is mighty."

Meanwhile, George shook his head silently. Although the others didn't notice, he realized that the middle-aged man just now wasn't an ordinary person. He was wearing a custom-made Italian suit with a small dark plum blossom on the cuff.

His father used to have a set of such clothes worth three million.

How could someone who wears such clothes be simple?

Furthermore, George sensed from Miranda's expression and tone that she was lying. It couldn't be as simple as harassment. That man, with a mere gesture, would have countless supermodel-level beauties willingly offer themselves. How could he be interested in Miranda, who was just a plain Jane?

George reminded them, having been fooled, "That man just now might have some status. Perhaps you should leave soon."

Unexpectedly, Ethan sneered and said, "Who doesn't have status compared to you? Any position here is higher than yours. You're just a deadweight. If you're scared, just go away. What a joke. You're nothing but a freeloader who comes here to eat and drink without contributing, yet you still have a sense of superiority."

A girl chimed in, "That's right, even if that man has some status, so what? We have Noah here to protect us. This is Fonda Group's place. As long as Noah says the word, who dares to cause trouble? Noah , isn't that right?"

Noah , looking proud, said, "That's correct. I know Manager Kim here, and he should be respectful to me. Everyone, enjoy your meal and don't worry."

George shook his head and said to Vivian, "Let's go!"

However, just as they left their seats, the private room door was kicked open and seven or eight security guards from Culinary Delights Eatery stormed in. Behind them were a few extraordinary-looking men, one of whom was the middle-aged man who had been beaten up earlier.

The head of the security guards held an electric baton and shouted, "Who stole Mr. Chamberlain's diamond ring? Hand it over immediately! Also, who was the one who assaulted Mr. Chamberlain? Step forward and don't make it worse for yourself."

This forceful and abrupt entrance shocked everyone inside the private room.

Ethan, who had been fearless just moments before, was now trembling and couldn't utter a word while looking at the fierce security guard captain.

Miranda, on the other hand, kept her head down and her face turned pale.

"Hurry up!" the captain of the security team shouted again.

Everyone turned their head and looked at Noah .

Noah saw a man behind the security guard, who was Manager Kim from Culinary Delights Eatery. He immediately walked up and said, "Manager Kim, I'm Guo, from the Kinsley Group. Is there any misunderstanding?"

Unexpectedly, Manager Kim, who was usually polite to him, didn't even spare a glance this time.

He just gave Noah a cold stare.

Noah felt a tremor in his heart, sensing that something was wrong.

The middle-aged man who had been beaten stepped forward, pointing at Miranda and said, "It's her, this bitch. She stole my diamond ring and slapped me."

In an instant, two security guards rushed over and grabbed hold of Miranda.

Miranda struggled desperately, but she couldn't break free. She repeatedly pleaded to Noah for help, "Noah , please help me, I didn't steal the ring, save me."

This dinner was organized by Noah , and if he cowardly backed down now, it would tarnish his reputation and Vivian would look down on him.

But just as he was about to say something, Noah paused when Manager Kim's eyes turned icy, interrupting him, "Don't deceive yourself, kid."

Noah 's heart trembled. He understood that Manager Kim was warning him not to mention his father. If he did, he wouldn't be able to leave here unscathed, and it would be his own fault.

Upon realizing this, Noah retracted his previous statement.

The classmates who witnessed this scene dared not utter a word, and the atmosphere became even more eerie, especially for the male student who had just been punched. They were all trembling in fear.

"It was this bastard who hit me the hardest."

The man pointed at Ethan.

Immediately, several security guards grabbed Ethan and held him from behind.

"Where's the ring? Show it to us!" The man stared coldly at Miranda.

"I...I didn't steal it," Miranda said in extreme fear.

Manager Kim spoke up, "Denying it won't help. I advise you to willingly hand it over. Our restaurant's surveillance cameras have recorded everything. You still dare to deny that you did not steal the ring?"

Miranda shook her head, refusing to admit it.

Enraged, the middle-aged man forcefully tore off Miranda's clothes and roughly searched her.

Miranda yelled and screamed, tears streaming down her face, desperately seeking help from Noah .

But Noah remained motionless.

George's expression was indifferent. Miranda had mocked him just now, so he was enjoying the show.

Vivian, with a kind heart, couldn't bear to see her classmate being bullied. She was about to speak up when, at that moment, a ring fell out of Miranda's pants.

It made a 'ding' sound.

Indeed, it was a diamond ring. Judging by its size, it was at least five carats, worth millions.

Vivian was taken aback, her words stuck in her throat.

The other classmates were also dumbfounded.

They never expected Miranda to actually steal someone's diamond ring, and to keep it hidden in such a place.

This woman was truly a troublemaker!

"Slap, slap, slap, slap!"

The man directly started slapping Miranda's face, and ended with a kick. "You didn't steal it? Then what is this? A twenty-million-dollar diamond ring, did you just create one out of thin air? Why don't you give birth to another one for me to see, you are a disgusting liar!"

Miranda cried out, "I found it over there in the bathroom."

George shook his head. A twenty-million-dollar ring. No wonder this woman was willing to take such huge risks, but does she not realize where she is? People are already looking for her, and she refuses to return it. Does she think that she can really get away with it?

Manager Kim slapped Miranda's face, "Take her away, I’ll deal with her later."

Meanwhile, the middle-aged Mr. Chamberlain had already confronted Ethan. He immediately started hitting him hard, and then picked up an electric baton.

Viciously, he struck Ethan's leg.

With a crunching sound, Ethan's shinbone broke.

"Ah!"

Ethan let out a scream that resembled a pig being slaughtered, his face covered in cold sweat.

Vivian couldn't stand it anymore. She exclaimed, "You've gone too far. Miranda may have stolen the ring, but he was deceived by her too. Even if you want to take revenge, is it necessary to break his leg?"

The middle-aged man looked up and saw Vivian, his eyes shining brightly.

"Gone too far? I don't think so at all!" He stared at Vivian. "Just now, someone actually hit me. My original intention was to break the legs of all the men present here. But now, I've changed my mind. Since you have spoken up, fine. All you need to do is accompany me to Hilton, and I'll spare them."

Vivian's face turned pale, her eyes filled with anger.

George didn't want to interfere, but this person was targeting Vivian, so he couldn't stay out of it.

Putting his hands in his pockets, he casually spoke, "Enough! Everyone, in consideration of me, let's just drop this matter today."

What?

Everyone looked at George, and the room fell into silence.

Especially Vivian's classmates, they looked at him as if he was a fool. Damn it, who do you think you are, a nobody without status or position? Jumping out at a time like this, are you seeking death?
