"Elena, are you crazy? I'm not going with you!" Michelle said reproachfully, though she was very worried about her.
Elena told her, "You don't need to accompany me."
With that, she left the private room.
The atmosphere inside the room changed; there was no joy left.
Ms. Harper sat down but couldn't eat a single thing knowing her student was outside.
Bianca kept her head down, feeling too ashamed to face anyone, scared to say a word.
Henry had taken the opportunity to slip away.
"Is it just me, or was Elena really badass today?"
"Me too. I usually dislike her, thinking she acts high and mighty and likes to pretend, but in a crisis, she actually stepped up."
"The situation just now scared me to death. I didn't dare speak."
"Those guys looked like bad news. Elena actually had the guts to confront them. Truly badass!"
...
No one was in the mood to eat, and no one was taking photos anymore.
Everyone was whispering about Elena.
Bianca wished she could dig a hole and crawl into it.
Elena went with Lucas Maddox and his men to another private room.
Several bodyguards stood before her.
Lucas Maddox looked at her like he was watching a show.
"You've got guts, better than that coward earlier. I want to ask you, what are you going to negotiate with?"
Elena remained calm. "My fists."
"Hahaha! Are you trying to make me laugh to death so you can inherit my credit card debt? A little girl like you, using fists? How about you just be a good girl and come with me? I might consider letting you off... Argh!"
Before Lucas Maddox could finish, he suddenly took a punch to the chest.
The force of the punch was immense, knocking Lucas Maddox backward.
Lucas Maddox landed on the ground, his chest throbbing with dull pain.
When he reacted, a vicious look appeared on his face.
