Natalie initially thought these few people would be easy to handle.
But she hadn't expected them to create such a mess. Her whole party was ruined.
Furious, she stepped aside to call her dad.
"Hey, Dad! You need to send Jeremy over right away! Someone's wrecking my party! Yeah, hurry!"
As soon as she hung up, a chair flew past her.
Natalie was startled and quickly ducked behind the bar, hiding like a turtle.
Once her people were all beaten down, Natalie heard no more noise outside. She slowly peeked out at the scene.
The place was a wreck, and Violeta and her group were nowhere to be seen.
What's going on?
Did they leave already!?
Natalie stood up from behind the bar, and just then, she heard the sound of cans being opened behind her.
"You're standing up, huh?"
Turning slowly, Natalie saw Violeta and her friends lounging on the barstools behind the bar, casually watching her.
Violeta's clothes were still immaculate despite the fight, as if she hadn't been involved.
With an amused look, Violeta leaned on the counter, popped open a can with one hand, took a sip, and said, "So, got any more people? If not, we're leaving."
Natalie was stunned.
Anger flared up inside her.
This bitch, does she look down on me? She's not even worthy!
Seeing Natalie remain silent, Violeta nodded to the men beside her. "Looks like she's got no one left. Let's go. It's getting late."
Zoren commented, "What a waste of time. So boring."
Natalie had already called for backup. There was no way she was letting them leave so easily now!
Summoning her courage, she shouted, "Stop right there!"
Violeta turned back nonchalantly. "What now?"
Trying to keep calm, Natalie said, "You ruined my party. Do you even know who I am? I won't let you get away with this!"
Jasper laughed like he had just heard the funniest joke. No one had ever tried to intimidate them with their status all his life.
Mimicking her words, he asked, "Do you even know who we are? Forget about this place. How about we talk about ... "
Before he could finish his sentence, outside the party area, the sound of several motorcycles roared to life as a whole biker gang had arrived.
