"I'm fine, Ms. Bella. You better bounce." Evan knew there was still one in the bunch looking for Ms. Bella's whereabouts, probably up to no good.
Alvis whistled and raised an eyebrow, flirtatiously looking at Arabella, "Hey, are you all by your lonesome?" "Buzz off." Arabella kicked him away without a second thought.
Everyone around was stunned. They didn't expect this girl to be so gutsy, let alone that she could send a guy flying with a kick.

Alma was also taken aback. She didn't expect her cousin would stand up for a waiter.
Were they having an affair? "What's the beef?" Arabella turned her face, asking Evan, the waiter behind her.
Evan, wincing in pain, said, "One of them wanted to know your whereabouts. | didn't tell them, and they started insulting me and even got physical." Arabella looked at Alvis on the ground indifferently, "I don't know you." Why was he looking for her out of the blue? Alma was a bit on edge on the side, fearing Alvis would spill the beans. If Arabella knew it wasn't Alvis looking for her.
Unable to utter a word from the pain, Alvis was helped by a few classmates.
"Who do you think you are? You dare to kick Alvis. Do you want to lose your foot?" "Do you know who Alvis is? You'd be scared shitless if | told you!" "Alvis, are you okay? Hang in there. I'll get your back." They didn't know Arabella's identity, thinking she was just a nobody, and wanted to stand up for Alvis.
The manager rushed over when he heard the ruckus. Then he saw a few young masters walking towards Arabella, and injured Evan standing behind her.
He had a hunch about what was going on, but out of professional duty, he politely asked, "Gentlemen, what seems to be the problem?" "Get lost!" One of the rich kids pushed the manager aside.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIf it weren't for Arabella stepping forward to catch him in time, the manager would have fallen to the ground.
"You seem to have a knack for sticking your nose in other people's business, first the young waiter, now the old manager. Are you two in cahoots? You sure like to meddle." The next second, he got a beatdown from Arabella. It was too brutal to watch. Other classmates couldn't help but close their eyes.
Alvis, sitting on the ground, was scared to back away, "Don't come closer." Arabella's gaze fell on Alvis again, "Insulting the club's staff constitutes defamation." Everyone else was stunned. What? Defamation? Was this for real? "I'm telling you, don't try to scare me." Alvis clearly didn't believe it.
Seeing the girl making sense, some of his classmates couldn't help but pull out their phones to look it up, and found out she was telling the truth! "Alvis, she's right," someone murmured to Alvis, "it's true." He didn't expect to run into someone who knew the law.
Today was just not his day.
Alvis didn't care about losing money, but he was afraid of detention. If word got out, it wouldn't be good for his reputation, and if it caused a stir, it could affect his parents’ official careers.
What if someone looked into his parents? By rights, his family didn't have the clout to let him hang out in such places.
"I'll pay, okay?" Alvis took out his phone from his pocket, apparently trying to make peace, "I'll transfer the money. Is 10 grand okay?"
