Ariana held out a hand and asked, “Where's the phone?”
Tom held up a hand to show that he had Selena’s phone. “It’s here. | heard about you offending Ms. Granger,
Ariana. I'll return it to you if you get on your knees and apologize to her.”
“I don’t want the phone anymore, Ari! Let's go!” Selena stepped forward to take Ariana away, but the latter had
no intention of leaving.
She took a step toward Tom, enveloping him in her fragrance. It was alluring and dazed him. That was when
Ariana lifted a leg and kicked him in the groin.
He howled in pain as he fell to the floor and curled up. The phone fell out of his hand.
Ariana swiftly caught it before giving him a cold look. She returned the phone to Selena and turned back to Tom,

Evelyn noticed this and stood up. She said, “We're all here to have fun, Ms. Torrey. Tom was only joking with you.
This is supposed to be my birthday celebration-you don’t need to take things so far.”
“I'm the one taking things too far?” Ariana raised an eyebrow and stepped harder on Tom's palm.
He howled. “I'll kill you, Ariana!”
He felt like she was going to destroy his palm with how hard she was stepping on it, and his face was ashen.
Everyone could tell Ariana was making it clear she wasn’t going to back down despite Evelyn's words. Sure

make things so tense?”
“He’s the one who pissedoff first. I'm just teaching him a simple lesson.” Ariana smiled, but it didn’t reach
her eyes. “If you're upset about this, | can drag him outside before beating him up.”

Everyone's eyes landed on him. He continued coldly, “I'd like to see who else in this room you'd dare to touch.”
Everyone stood up straighter when they saw that Brian was sticking up for them.
