I was absolutely certain I didn't recognize this plump, rather bloated face.
She was a total stranger.
I had no grudges against her, and I had no idea why she had suddenly appeared out of nowhere to splash Citrus Burst Juice all over my face.
"Ma'am, do you have the wrong person?" I asked, staring blankly at the frizzy-haired woman.
But her glare was unflinching; there was zero hesitation in her eyes. If Leon hadn't been blocking her, her stubby finger would have been jabbing straight into my nose.
The commotion drew the attention of everyone in the noodle bar. People turned their heads, watching with a mix of curiosity and gossip-hungry glee. Some muttered in hushed tones, while others pulled out their phones to record.
Leon was taking the brunt of it. The frizzy-haired woman's spit was flying everywhere, some of it landing right on his face. "I could mistake anyone, but I'd never mistake you! You're the bitch who specializes in stealing other people's boyfriends! Did your mother birth you just so you could be a homewrecker and seduce men? One isn't enough for you, you have to string along a whole bunch of them! Do your parents know what a slut you are out here?!"
It was utterly repulsive.
I had no idea why this woman harbored such intense hatred toward me. There's a saying that you never drag someone's mother into an insult, but she had gone straight for my parents, instantly igniting a blaze of fury within me.
"Make yourself clear. Who exactly did I seduce? And what gives you the right to insult my parents?!"
"Verbal assault is a punishable offense! You can be detained and fined for this!" Leon shouted sternly.
"Detained my ass! I'm not just going to curse her out, I'm going to beat the shamelessness out of her!" Instead of backing down, the woman escalated her tirade.

Story is fine but...Oh god! Such a slow and dragging story. She is always fainting or confused. Has no backbone, very irritating story. Better to avoid...
