The chaos of the scene dragged on for quite a while, with some people stepping in to separate the three involved. Meanwhile, others merely stood by and enjoyed the spectacle.
Noelle simply stood coldly at the doorway, watching the absurdity unfold.
She felt no sympathy for Suzy because if Noelle had not been forewarned, she knew she could have been the one suffering this humiliation. However, what Noelle could not fathom was how far Winter was willing to go to target her.
Noelle's gaze grew increasingly icy as she looked at Winter. She clenched her fists silently, but inwardly, she had already decided Winter's fate.
Winter was completely at a loss. She watched as Suzy curled up on the floor, her entire being in a state of shock.
Though Suzy was now covered with clothes, her face was swollen and disfigured. Her hair was in disarray, and her arms bore visible marks of abuse.
As Winter moved closer, Suzy panicked and pushed her away, shouting, "Don't touch me! Don't touch me!"
"Everyone, get out! Get out now!" Winter was on the verge of breaking down as she yelled at the onlookers.
Xavier frowned. He had not anticipated the situation to escalate to this point. He placed a hand on Winter's shoulder. "You stay with her. I'll handle this."
In the end, Xavier managed to clear the room. Despite his efforts, however, someone had recorded the entire incident, capturing videos and photos of Suzy in her compromising state.
After the crowd dispersed, Winter cautiously approached Suzy again. She reached out, but Suzy slapped her hand away, screaming, "You get out too! Leave me alone, get out!"
"Suzy, it's me! It's just me!" Winter pleaded.
