Leonardo wanted to argue, but Marcus's icy stare made him zip it.
Zack, who had just parked the car, walked over and asked, "Picking on a girl, are you even a man?"
Abigail scanned Leonardo with a disdainful look and said, "You only look like a man on the outside; otherwise, you lack any masculinity."
That was a major burn.
Leonardo was pissed. "Marc, you heard that; they're ganging up against me; you can't keep defending them, can you?"
Marcus retorted, "Why are you, as a man, arguing with a girl?"
Leonardo considered himself a man with a backbone and knew when to back down: "Alright, I'll listen to you; I, as a man, shouldn't be arguing with a little girl."
He didn't forget to throw a contemptuous glance at Abigail after his words.
Abigail asked, "Who are you calling a little girl? You scumbag!" Abigail, furious, tried to hit Leonardo, but luckily Cornelia quickly grabbed her and said, "Abby, cool it."
Leonardo may be bold, but he had never hit a woman, let alone encountered such a hot-tempered one.
When Abigail charged at him, he nervously hid behind Marcus and said, "Marc, control your friend."
Marcus kept his cool: "You brought this upon yourself; deal with it."
Leonardo went silent.
Why should he bear it?
