When Fade saw Louise's appearance at that moment, it was apparent that something had happened. Otherwise, a rich girl would not have undergone so much change. Even the pride in her eyes had turned into faint sadness and humility.
When she heard Momo's question, Louise looked a little embarrassed. She glanced at Fade and said, "My father's business failed, and the family is in bad shape. Hence, I found a job here to help relieve the burden on my family."
When Fade and Momo heard this, they could guess how events transpired even without further details.
Back when they had dined together, Louise felt disdain for Fade and Momo while she flattered the rich kid, Wayne Shao. Eventually, she learned about Fade and even offended Monkey King and Tom Wei.
Louise's family ran a supermarket in Bay City. Perhaps it was that incident that affected the family's business in a way that eventually forced them into this state.
When she thought of this, Momo opened her mouth and said a few comforting words.
Louise looked at Momo with a respectful look and nodded.
Fade also said, "Now, you look more beautiful than you did before, and your eyes are also clearer than they were before."
Louise paused for a moment and she seemed to have thought of something. Then, she nodded at Fade and said, "Thank you."
Next, she turned around and returned to the shop that was not far away and continued with her work.
Fade and Momo drank their drinks. When they thought of Louise and how she had changed, they couldn't help sighing with emotion.
Just as they were about to finish their drinks, suddenly, they heard a woman's scream. "Ahhh!"
The scream was followed by the laughter of a few men, as well as a few angry roars.
"What's your problem? You poured the drinks on me!"
"Tell me, what should we do?"
"I don't want to talk anymore. Pay for it!"
The commotion caused the people around to all look over.
The incident had happened at a small drink shop not far away. Louise was on the ground, surrounded by a puddle of spilled drinks. Her clothes were stained and wet, and she looked a little embarrassed.
Before her stood a few young men around 19 years old, all dressed up in fancy clothes. They were shouting at Louise.
When Momo saw what was happening, she couldn't help frowning as she stood up quickly.
At this moment, Fade's eyes suddenly narrowed and his expression became cold. There were several young men standing in front of Louise, dressed in fancy clothes. They were the guys who were partying at the cemetery the day before. Their leader was Liam who was dressed in leather from head to toe.
At this moment, Liam and the others gathered around Louise. They were all arrogant and unfriendly.
Louise collapsed on the ground. With a sorrowful look on her face, she murmured'lt's because you touched me that I dropped the drinks. I..."
Without waiting for her to finish, Liam shouted coldly, "What do you mean that we touched you? Are you trying to blame this on us?"
Next to him, his companions were also shouting at Louise.
"Pay for it now!"
"Where's the boss? Come out. What should we do about this?"
Amidst the shouting, the owner of the drinks shop came out. He was a middle-aged man in his 40s. He clearly knew that the punks were not to be trifled with, so he apologized with a smile, "I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. We will compensate you."
"Willing to compensate?" Liam said. Then, he tugged on his leather coat and said, "See? It's by a famous foreign brand. It's worth only 12,000 yuan, not that expensive. Just pay for it!"
Several other companions also spoke up at this moment.
"My pants aren't expensive either. They cost only 6,000 yuan!"
