Hearing her words, Sienna let out a defiant, cold laugh.
"If you've got guts, just wait right here!"
She turned and stormed off. Emma rolled her eyes nonchalantly and called Carter to head back to the booth.
"Was that Sienna Ryder?" Carter glanced back with concern. "Is she causing trouble for you?"
Emma brushed it off. "She's just an immature kid. What kind of trouble could she possibly cause me?"
"She's barely older than you. You're still a kid yourself."
Carter's tone was incredibly doting and protective. Emma froze for a split second before lowering her head with a soft chuckle.
The two returned to the private booth. However, not long after, the door was violently kicked open.
"Let's see who dares to bully my little sister!"
Twenty to thirty guys instantly flooded into the room. Thankfully, the booth was massive, so it didn't feel overly cramped.
"Cut the music!"
The lighting in the booth was dim. The moment the music stopped, the blinding overhead lights were flipped on.
The man whose tone had been incredibly arrogant just a second ago was completely struck dumb the moment he saw Emma.
"M-M-Ms. Lockwood, you're here too. Haha, what a coincidence."
The man laughed awkwardly, scratching the back of his head.
Sienna was utterly shocked by his sudden 180 in attitude.
"Tim, she's the one bullying me! Why are you being so polite to her?"
Timothy Morton's eyes went wide. Emma smirked. "So Mr. Morton is here to stand up for his 'little sister'?"
Emma deliberately emphasized the word "sister." Looking at Tim, it wasn't hard to figure out the real nature of their relationship.
She had met Tim at a bar overseas. He had tried to hit on her the moment he saw her and nearly tried to drag her to a hotel by force.
But he hadn't succeeded.
Emma had beaten him half to death. Just as he was trying to flee, Travis had shown up and beaten him to a pulp all over again. He had been absolutely brutal.
Tim had been a model citizen around her ever since.
"Nice bar you've got here. Last time I was at one of your spots, I ran into Harvey Kent. This time, you bust into my private booth. Tim, did you forget that my brother came back to the country too?"
Hearing that, Tim's knees practically gave out. Slapping on a sycophantic smile, he shoved Scarlett out of the way and squeezed in next to Emma.
