Chapter 58 Hilton's Tenderness Toward Yeager
"Katherine is indeed an all-around straight-A student. She plays the violin better than anyone in the music department!"
"I have to admit, I will never doubt Katherine's abilities again!"
"Me too! Now I finally understand why Katherine is called the all-around straight-A student. No wonder the principal appreciates her so much!"
The outcome was clear. All the students present praised her, applauding without hesitation.
Meanwhile, Yeager and her friends had embarrassed expressions on their faces.
Katherine gently placed the violin down and walked over to them. "Now, it's time for you all to apologize to the principal."
The girl who had started the trouble found it hard to believe. "You... You're not even from the music department. How can you play the violin so well?"
Katherine calmly replied, "I know a little."
The girl, infuriated by her calm tone, gritted her teeth. "Is that what you call 'knowing a little'? You just played..."
"Just played what?" Katherine was curious about what she was going to say.
The girl froze, not wanting to praise Katherine. She felt extremely frustrated!
Seeing their silence, Katherine continued, "I played the violin, and my classmates acknowledged it. Now it's time for you to keep your word and apologize to the principal."
The girls exchanged glances. They hesitated, clearly unwilling to apologize...
"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and apologize to Katherine and the principal!"
"That's right! You started the trouble yourselves. Now that you've lost, you don't want to admit it?"
"Apologize now!"
Amidst the students' accusations, the girls felt ashamed and reluctantly went up on stage...
"We're sorry... We apologize to Katherine and the principal for our irresponsible words. We were talking nonsense, and we were wrong. Please forgive us, everyone..."
There was a buzz of discussion among the students about the girls...
Katherine had achieved her goal and left the place. She rubbed her ears, feeling annoyed by the noise.
She hadn't planned to attend this class reunion in the first place. She was supposed to go to the company to discuss something with her subordinate, Frank.
But Alexander insisted on giving her a ride, making it inconvenient for her to go to the company. That's why she had let Alexander bring her here.
Since she was already here, she could only come in and sit for a while to avoid being discovered by Alexander...
Little did she know that she would be bothered by Yeager at this boring class reunion!
Just as Katherine walked out of the private room, she heard someone calling her from behind.
"Katherine! Stop right there!"
Katherine paused and turned around...
Yeager was coming towards her, holding the violin aggressively. She said, "Katherine, you think you can just leave after damaging my violin? Compensate me for the violin before you go!"
"Damaged? The violin was perfectly fine when I played it just now!" Katherine remained composed and glanced at the violin in Yeager's arms. She couldn't see any damage to it.
Yeager pushed the violin towards her. "Take a good look yourself! You definitely left these scratches on the violin when you played it just now! This violin is an antique and very expensive! Do you know that?"
At this moment, Yeager had dropped her previous hypocritical facade in front of her classmates. She had lost her face, so she took off her disguise and wore a resentful and unhappy expression.
Katherine lowered her head and saw that there were indeed many scratches on the violin. She frowned and asked, "How much do you want me to compensate?"
Yeager pretended again and said, "Considering that we are classmates, I won't ask for much. Just $20,000!"
Katherine laughed, " $20,000? Yeager, do you think I'm a fool?"
Yeager sarcastically said, "Katherine, isn't your family wealthy? Today, your family can donate money to the school, so why can't you afford a violin?"
Katherine narrowed her eyes, "What if I don't compensate?"
"If you don't compensate," Yeager threatened, "I will report you to the police! After all, your fingerprints are on this violin, and everyone saw you playing it just now. You can't escape!"
Katherine shrugged indifferently. Yeager was clearly upset because she hadn't gotten the attention earlier, so now she was picking a fight with her!
Yeager was extremely narrow-minded!
"Fine, go ahead and call the police! Let them come and determine whether this violin is an antique and worth $20,000. Let's see if your behavior constitutes extortion!"
Yeager was taken aback and looked flustered. She didn't expect that Katherine wouldn't be intimidated. She became angry and cursed, "Katherine, you cunning b*tch!"
Katherine smiled, "Am I cunning, or are you unjustly trying to frame me?"
"I don't care! You compensate for my violin! You must compensate me today! If you don't, you won't be able to leave!" Yeager couldn't argue with her, so she started to harass Katherine, blocking her way and not letting her go...
She couldn't make Katherine lose face in public, so now she wanted to make her pay some money. She couldn't let her leave happily!
Yeager was determined to harass Katherine!
Yes, she deliberately damaged Katherine's violin just to cause her trouble!
And although her violin was not an antique, it was indeed very expensive!
In any case, she had to make things difficult for Katherine. She couldn't let her get away with destroying her own good violin for nothing!
So, if Katherine didn't compensate, she would never give up!
Katherine's patience was wearing thin. She couldn't take it anymore and was about to make a move...
"Little girl, why are you so angry?"
Suddenly, a deep voice interrupted their dispute...
Yeager thought it was just a passerby trying to meddle and was about to curse at them. She turned her head and was stunned by the face she saw!
Coming towards them was an extraordinary man. He was tall, handsome, and dressed in a designer suit, resembling a noble playboy.
Seeing the handsome man, Yeager blushed. She immediately lost her previous rudeness. She lowered her head pretentiously, pretending to be the weaker one, and explained, "Sir, I'm sorry for disturbing you... It's because she damaged my antique violin and wants to leave without compensating me. That's why I was so anxious..."
"Is that so? You destroy someone else's property and want to leave without compensation? That's not good!"
Katherine calmly watched as Hilton approached them. She recognized him as Alexander's friend but couldn't understand his motive.
Why was he getting involved?
Hilton walked up to Yeager and gently asked, "Where is it damaged? Let me take a look!"
"Sir, please take a look... It's these scratches on the violin; she left them for me!" Yeager, with a red face, handed her own violin to Hilton while also accusing Katherine.
In her heart, she thought, 'This handsome man must have taken a liking to me; that's why he came to care for me! This proves that I am prettier than Katherine and attract more attention from men!'
Hilton looked at the violin and sighed regretfully, "It's quite severely scratched. Such a pity for a good violin!"
Seeing such a distinguished man echoing her words, Yeager suddenly felt more confident.
After thinking for a moment, she pretended to be pitiful and started to cry, "Sir, please help me! My violin is an antique, but she deliberately damaged it and refused to compensate me..."
