Chapter 240
Chapter 240 Birds of A Feather The playboys breathed a sigh of relief. However, the next sentence made their expressions change drastically. “But the convertible ride isn’t free. You can only experience the charm of a convertible when you're stripped bare!”
The playboys stood there, each one unable to utter a word in shock. They had thought she genuinely intended to let them off and arrange transportation to the hospital. Little did they know, she planned to strip them bare, using their own methods against them!
“Ms. Maia, the one who just said he’d strip you naked... i-it's this guy! No, it wasn’t us!” One of the playboys explained tearfully, pleading with Maia, “W-We were only dining with him due to the influence of the Brad family. Ms. Maia, please forgive us, we're just small fry. If you want justice, deal with this guy!”
“Yes, yes, Ms. Maia, spare us!” “Ms. Maia, please have mercy, we won't dare to do it again!”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
The others also began begging for mercy. Maia looked at them pleading, contrasting their current state with their earlier arrogance. These people, who relied on their social status and a bit of money, had bullied countless others in their daily lives.
They were nothing but a bunch of cowards who feared the strong and bullied the weak! Maia continued to smile sweetly, her smile so charming. “Birds of a feather, you’re no better than him!”
Then, she deepened the smile at the corner of her lips. Her eyes sparkled with a captivating light, but the delightful smile on her face sent shivers down people’s spines.
The playboys kept shaking their heads, each wanting to explain but rendered speechless. Soon, Cedric signaled Baz with his eyes, and he immediately ordered the bodyguards to take these playboys away.
All according to Maia’s words, they were stripped naked and thrown onto the convertible.
After they left, the person in charge of the La Rouquette immediately approached Maia, bowing apologetically, “We sincerely apologize. As a century-old prestigious establishment, we regret disappointing our guests. To express our apologies, your expenses today are waived. We are truly sorry.”
“There’s no need to waive the expenses, preventing such incidents from happening again is what matters,” Maia replied. The
e person in charge nodded repeatedly, saying, “Yes, yes, you're right. | will inform the
“Blacklist them directly.”
Suddenly, Cedric’s deep voice resounded, carrying an air of authority that left the person in charge shivering involuntarily. When Cedric spoke, who would dare to utter a dissenting word? “Yes, Mr. Cedric.”
After that, Mala didn’t utter another word, striding towards the private room. The Welbeck family seemed somewhat stunned. Though they had witnessed many storms in the business world, seeing a woman face off against so many men without fear, wielding a bottle to strike, was an unprecedented scene.
Moreover, the woman wielding the bottle was the illustrious president of Starlight
Entertainment, a girl who appeared beautiful and delicate, yet performed an act that was hard to believe. Seeing Maia, Errol quickly gestured, “Sis, are you okay? Did you get hurt?”
Maia shook her head, “I’m fine.”
Errol then gestured again, asking, “What happened? Weren't you going to the restroom? How did you end up in conflict with them?”
At the time, Errol and the others were all inside the private room, and the soundproofing of La Rouquette was quite effective. If not for the “clang” sounds and the screams from the back, they wouldn’t have known what happened.
Subsequently, Mrs. Welbeck spoke up, “Some of them are sons of the ladies | play cards with, pampered sons with good family backgrounds. Their mothers would talk highly about them. Today, they turned out to look like hooligans.”
Maia smiled and didn’t intend to say much, only stating, “Sorry to let you witness such a scene.”
“Well done,” Mr. Welbeck said. “Il wouldn’t have objected if it were Elena in the same position, fighting back against a group of men with wine bottles. It’s legitimate self-defense. After all, women are inherently disadvantaged.”
“Yes, Dad is right. It’s truly shameful for a few big men to bully someone,” Elena immediately gestured, then gave Maia a thumbs-up. “Sis, you’re amazing! Your headshots are so accurate and precise. Can you teach me next time?”
“Sure, you can practice with Errol.” Maia teased, lightening the mood. Elena quickly shook her head, “No, how can | practice with Errol? It would be bad if the bottle
hits him!”
Maia watched Elena’s gestures and burst into laughter. Mrs. Welbeck, seeing Elena so anxious, +15 BONUS injured? He's her little brother! Silly girl!”
Mrs. Welbeck looked at Elena affectionately, her eyes full of maternal warmth. Maia was momentarily stunned, looking at Mrs. Welbeck, feeling a twinge of envy towards Elena. If her mother were still here, her mother would surely stand up for her. She would feel her mother’s love and care every day.
Suddenly, footsteps approached from behind. Maia felt the imposing aura getting closer to her. She wanted to dodge, but it was too late. A man’s hand was placed on her waist.
“It's been a long time, Mr. Cedric,” Mr. Welbeck nodded towards Cedric. Cedric nodded, calmly greeting, ” You seem to be in good spirits today.” Mr. Welbeck laughed, “Yes, my daughter has found someone she likes. | just didn’t expect to run into Cedric today.” Cedric, in line with the information he received, noticed Errol and Elena.
“Cedric, it's really a coincidence for you to come. You appeared just right when my sister encountered danger. Thank you so much,” Errol gestured.
Realizing Cedric couldn’t understand, he immediately took out his phone and typed a message to show him.
