“Yanqing, how can you do that?”
“That’s right. How can you let her go so easily?”
“Yes, she’ll only be smugger if you let her off so easily!”
The crowd began to complain on Barbara Schuman’s behalf, which Valda Theller found funny.
However, she was pressed hard on the shoulder. She was being forced to kneel.
Valda Theller struggled to push them away, but there were so many of them that she could not fight them.
With a thump, Valda Theller was forced to kneel.
Camille Strickland panicked at the sound of this. “What are you doing? Who gave you the right to force her to kneel?!”
“Valda Theller deserves it. Or you can kneel with her!” someone said. Suddenly, Camille Strickland saw a waiter pass by and shouted, “Get someone from the private room next door. These people are harming me and my friend!”
The waiter froze slightly. He was about to ask, but someone already said, “We’re just messing around. Our former classmate just can’t take a joke!”
“F*ck you!” Camille Strickland cursed.
“Oh, Camille, why are you mad? We’re just asking Valda Theller to have a drink!” they said. Then, the person said to the waiter with a smile, “We’re having fun at our class reunion. You can go now. What could happen in your restaurant?”
The waiter left suspiciously, and Camille Strickland’s eyes were instantly filled with disappointment.
Camille Strickland’s eyes turned red as she saw someone stuff the mouth of the bottle into Valda Theller’s mouth, forcing her to drink.
“Stop. Stop it! Do… Do you know who Valda’s boyfriend is? It’s Brian. Brian won’t let you off easily if you treat her like this!” Camille Strickland said.
She had no plans to tell them that Brian was Valda’s boyfriend at first. After all, Valda did not seem to want to tell the public, but she could only use Brian to stop these people’s absurd behavior.
However, to Camille Strickland’s disappointment, the crowd laughed instead of stopping. “Camille Strickland, you should at least make up a decent lie. How dare you say Valda Theller’s boyfriend is Brian? How ridiculous.”
“Yeah, my husband is Jason if her boyfriend is Brian!”
Instead of smiling, hesitation flickered in Barbara Schuman’s eyes.
She suddenly recalled the last time Valda Theller was forced to act as a stunt double and almost got into trouble. Someone from Hart Group had saved Valda Theller at the time.
‘Besides that, the actors who participated in the strike were replaced afterward. If it’s someone who’s capable of doing that… Could it really be Brian?’
Barbara Schuman was shocked at the thought of this but immediately denied it.
‘Camille Strickland probably made it up randomly as she’s anxious to save Valda Theller. How could a man like Brian fall in love with such an ordinary woman like Valda Theller?’
Valda Theller was forced to drink more aggressively. She struggled desperately, but every struggle made her suffer more.
The red liquor, which had not yet been swallowed, flowed down the corners of her mouth, neck, and clothes… making her look like a mess.
“Stop. Stop it! Stop it!” Camille Strickland shouted, tears pouring out of her eyes. “Help! Save Valda…
Brian, hurry and save Valda!”
She was answered by jeers from all around.
Camille Strickland was in despair when the laughter subsided suddenly. Then, there were several thumps of heavy objects falling and screams of pain.
With a face full of shock, Camille Strickland watched as Brian finally appeared and kicked away the man who forced Valda to drink.
Then, the two people pressing Valda Theller’s shoulders were quickly kicked to the floor by Brian. Camille Strickland’s almost desperate eyes burst with joy while the others froze.
Valda Theller lay on the floor, coughing. There was a burning sensation in her throat from being forced to drink, and she felt dizzy.
She had no idea what was going on, but she coughed instinctively until her face turned red. It was almost as if she was going to cough everything out of her stomach.
Just then, a hand patted her gently on the back. “Are you okay?”
The familiar sound instantly gave Valda Theller an urge to cry.
She had never cried when she was ridiculed and insulted.
However, her nose felt so sore, and her eyes were burning as if something were pouring out of them.
She slowly turned to look at the person in front of her with a hazy vision. Tears burst out instantly.
“Brian… I feel terrible. I… I wanted to shout to get you to help me, but they kept forcing me to drink. I…
I couldn’t make a sound…”
She sobbed.
He crouched down, raised his hand, and gently wiped her tears. The moment her tears touched his fingers, he felt his fingers were burning like hell.
She cried harder. Her fears seemed to pour out with the tears.
Valda Theller’s hands were suddenly wrapped around Brian’s neck. She buried her face in his chest and cried. She was so drunk that she was like a child.
Her shoulders twitched as she cried.
He seemed to find his heart throbbing too. He felt a rare sadness when he saw her crying like this.
Brian rarely regretted things. If he had come out to look for her earlier, she would not have suffered all these.
“Stop crying. Stop… No one will hurt you when I’m around!” Brian comf Finally, someone came back to their senses and said to Brian, “How arrogant! Who do you think you are? Are you Brian, the crown prince of the entertainment industry? How ridiculous!”
Brian looked at them coldly. “I am Brian. Is it funny?”
The cold gaze and indifferent tone gave the speaker earlier a sense of uneasiness.
‘Is… this man Brian?’
“How… How is that possible? How can you be Brian?”
Just then, a timid voice said, “He… He seems to be Brian. I’ve seen Brian’s photo online. He looks…
just like him.”
There was an eerie silence in the air as soon as he said that.
‘Is he really Brian?’ Barbara Schuman looked at the handsome man protecting Valda Theller in disbelief.
She could tell that the man wore expensive clothes, and he spoke with an air of authority.
‘Is… what Camille Strickland said true? Is Valda Theller’s boyfriend Brian?’ Barbara Schuman’s pupils shrank at the thought of this. ‘Is it possible? The Valda Theller I despise has gotten together with a man in Emerald City who’s impossible to seduce?’
Just then, Brian picked up his phone and spoke to the other end of the line, “Send some people in and get the car ready outside.”
With that said, Brian put away the phone and carefully picked up Valda Theller in his arms. “Alright, stop crying. Lean on me and rest. Just get some sleep,” he said gently. However, his voice turned icy as soon as he looked up. “I’ll spare no one who hurt you.”
Just then, several men in black were already hurrying toward them. As soon as they saw Brian, they respectfully said, “Mr.
Hart…”
“Ask everyone here exactly what they did and said. No one is allowed to leave until we sort it out,” Brian said coldly.
“Yes,” his men answered immediately.
Someone could not help shouting, “Even… Even if you’re Brian, you can’t force us to stay here!”
Brian glanced coldly. “Why don’t you try and see if I can?”
There was hardly any fluctuation in his calm tone, but no one could retort him. He was the crown prince. With his influence, no one could walk out of here even if they wanted to.
