To his surprise, not only had Yuna escaped his grasp unscathed, it was him at that moment who was bleeding out of his forehead.
His bodyguards were all paralyzed in fear when they saw this, and even Yuna’s guards froze in place.
Yuna herself had gone fully pale.
What a bloody scene this had become. And they were at County Salford too! It was definitely hard to say what would even happen next.
“Don’t let that woman escape! She was the one who had beaten Mr. Linton up!” shouted a bodyguard as he pointed at Maia.
“I… I didn’t beat him up!” replied Maia, her voice quivering slightly.
Maia was stupefied. She had only wanted to dissuade the situation from getting any worse. It was clear, however, that Yoav’s bodyguards all had their eyes set on her now.
Meanwhile, the area’s staff members had finally arrived after hearing complaints about the conflict. Their first action was naturally to break the crowd up.
Simultaneously, a few of the area’s medical staff were also dispatched to treat and bandage Yoav’s wounds.
Even the scenic spot’s managers had stepped forward to deal with the aftermath.
By the end of it, not many people remained in that area. Gerald and the five others, however, naturally had to stay there.
“Mr. Linton, please allow us to send you to this area’s private ward to continue bandaging your wounds,” said one of the medical staff.
“Fine, but these few people here aren’t allowed to leave!” growled Yoav in a wrathful voice as he held on to his lightly bandaged head before being transported away in a stretcher.
“I didn’t even beat him up! Why can’t I leave?” retorted Maia angrily.
‘What an overbearing person that Yoav is!’
Just as Maia was about to turn around to leave, she was immediately stopped.
“Miss, you and the others need to wait here for a little while longer. Please understand that if you simply leave like this, we won’t be able to give a proper explanation to the Lintons. For now, just remain here and we’ll see how things will be revolved once Mr. Linton returns.”
“All of you don’t have to be afraid! After all, you really didn’t do anything! I’ll help you take the blame!” said Yuna, seeing how frightened they were.
The celebrity had noticed that all of them were in their twenties and assumed that most of them had just graduated from university.
Despite knowing that she was dealing with a big shot, Maia had still stepped in to prevent Yuna from getting hurt. How could Yuna simply bear to see her and her group take the blame for her?
It was only natural for her to want to calm them down.
While it was true that Yuna knew that Maia had done nothing wrong, her calm exterior was contrasted by the slowly growing fear in her mind at that moment. She too was honestly slightly afraid as she continued pondering how to deal with the situation.
A short while later, Yuna contacted her company before detailing everything that had happened to them.
“…Ah, I see! Very well!”
After talking for a while, Yuna’s expression turned somber.
“How is it, Yuna?” asked Maia in a slightly worried tone.
