Immediately after that, they started another round of discussions.
“You’ll need some dignity as a person. You shouldn’t have gone down on your knees over such a small matter. Aren’t you ashamed at all?”
“Exactly, it’s just a small sum of money. How serious can it be? A real person doesn’t surrender easily. How could she kneel just like that?”
“I think she’s usually a shameless girl. Otherwise, she wouldn’t seem so well-trained at kneeling down.”
A mean-looking woman even shouted loudly, “Don’t be taken in by her as she’s merely trying to earn your pity. Make her pay for it or we can be your witnesses if you call the police!”
As though empowered by the mutterings around her, the woman turned even more smug. “Don’t try this with me! You either pay me or I’ll call the police! It’s useless even if you’re down on your knees!”
Matthew’s face turned stone cold at the scene and was about to walk over when a few other people beat him to it. The one leading them was the manager of the venue, Mr. Wellington.
“What happened?” he asked.
After detailing to him what happened earlier with some exaggeration, the rich woman added, “She doesn’t look like she was invited here. I suggest you check if she has an invitation card!”
With his eyes fixed on Ellie, Mr. Wellington said, “Hi, please show me your invitation card!”
Ellie’s face was flushing red while her hands tugged at the hem of her clothes, speechless.
“I’m asking for your invitation card!” he repeated in a warning tone. “I’m calling the police if you don’t have one. Breaking into here is a crime!”
“N-No!” Ellie exclaimed in shock. “I-I…”
“Don’t waste your time, just call the police!” the woman shouted furiously. “I can tell from her sneaky manner that she must be a thief.”
“Impossible?” Matthew sneered. Suddenly, he grabbed him by his throat and lifted him up, bellowing, “It should be possible now!”
The security officers all dashed over. “Release our manager!”
Without loosening his grip, Matthew swung his fists and kicked out, knocking down all the security officers. Stunned, nobody in the crowd had thought that he would have such amazing skills.
Throwing Mr. Wellington aside, Matthew then placed Ellie behind himself and asked gently, “Are you alright?”
Unable to hold back her tears, she whimpered, “Matthew…”
Matthew gave her a reassuring smile.
Mr. Wellington scrambled up and yelled, “How dare you beat up someone here? Do you know who I am?”
