âForget it. Since she said she didnât do me any wrong, Iâll just assume she didnât,â said Barbara Schuman, pretending to be aggrieved.
âYanqing, how can you do that?â
âThatâs right. How can you let her go so easily?â
âYes, sheâll only be smugger if you let her off so easily!â
The crowd began to complain on Barbara Schumanâs 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. âWhat are you doing? Who gave you the right to force her to kneel?!â
âValda Theller deserves it. Or you can kneel with her!â someone said.
Suddenly, Camille Strickland saw a waiter pass by and shouted, âGet someone from the private room next door. These people are harming me and my friend!â
The waiter froze slightly. He was about to ask, but someone already said, âWeâre just messing around. Our former classmate just canât take a joke!â
âF*ck you!â Camille Strickland cursed.
âOh, Camille, why are you mad? Weâre just asking Valda Theller to have a drink!â they said. Then, the person said to the waiter with a smile, âWeâre having fun at our class reunion. You can go now. What could happen in your restaurant?â
The waiter left suspiciously, and Camille Stricklandâs eyes were instantly filled with disappointment.
Camille Stricklandâs eyes turned red as she saw someone stuff the mouth of the bottle into Valda Thellerâs mouth, forcing her to drink.
âStop. Stop it! Do⦠Do you know who Valdaâs boyfriend is? Itâs Brian. Brian wonât let you off easily if you treat her like this!â
Camille Strickland said.
She had no plans to tell them that Brian was Valdaâs boyfriend at first. After all, Valda did not seem to want to tell the public, but she could only use Brian to stop these peopleâs absurd behavior.
However, to Camille Stricklandâs disappointment, the crowd laughed instead of stopping. âCamille Strickland, you should at least make up a decent lie. How dare you say Valda Thellerâs boyfriend is Brian? How ridiculous.â
âYeah, my husband is Jason if her boyfriend is Brian!â
Instead of smiling, hesitation flickered in Barbara Schumanâs 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.
âBesides that, the actors who participated in the strike were replaced afterward. If itâs someone whoâs capable of doing that⦠Could it really be Brian?â
Barbara Schuman was shocked at the thought of this but immediately denied it.
