Chapter 233 Fierce Woman
The two men started to scuffle, and as they fought, the effects of the drug in their systems resurged. This time, Raymond was the one being overpowered, and the two were drawn into another round. Nora didn't want to watch anymore and signaled for Frederick to leave with her.
Meanwhile, some onlookers had already recorded the scene and were excitedly sharing it with their friends online.
Nora pushed through the crowd, and just as she took a few steps, she saw Quinn with her arms crossed, looking at her with interest. "Nora, what are you doing here? Surely, you're not fooling around behind Ron's back, are you?"
Nora chuckled, glancing at Frederick. "Quinn, this is Thomas's lookout. Who would bring a lookout to a rendezvous?"
Frederick nodded, "Nora's not like that. The two guys inside were plotting against Nora, but she turned the tables on them."
Hearing this, Quinn's pretty eyebrows raised playfully, and she sauntered over to Nora's side. "So that's what happened. You truly are the woman I've had my eye on."
Her gaze was flirtatious, making Nora feel strangely as if she were the object of someone's affection. She couldn't help but shiver internally.
"Nora, have you eaten yet? If not, how about we grab a bite together?" Quinn wrapped her arm around Nora's slim waist, her voice so sweet it could melt. Her voice was so enticing that Nora herself felt weak.
Even if she wanted to refuse, she found herself unable to speak. Nora laughed nervously, feeling Quinn's soft body brush against hers.
At that moment, Quinn was wearing a black chiffon dress that accentuated her shapely figure. Her body was spritzed with a subtly sweet perfume that smelled enchanting.
"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes. Let's go then!" Seeing Nora silent, Quinn laughed joyfully and guided her forward.
Thinking of her own hunger, Nora complied and followed along. They had just reached a private room when a voice called out from a distance, "Quinn!"
Quinn hesitated at the door handle and lifted her gaze toward the newcomer.
Nora also looked over, spotting a middle-aged woman decked out in gold and silver approaching from nearby.
Behind her were three individuals dressed in black.
Quinn recognized the person approaching and released Nora from his embrace, asking in a calm voice, "Ariana, what brings you here?"
Ariana marched up to them and spat out, "Quinn, you little home-wrecker!" Without another word, she raised her hand and slapped Quinn across the face.
After the slap, she stepped back quickly. Her bodyguard, who had been standing behind her, splashed Quinn with a bucket of water that they had prepared earlier.
The scene unfolded so quickly that Nora, whose eyes were wide with shock, she was still processing what just happened.
Frederick, who was nearby, acted fast and pulled her aside to prevent her from getting caught up in the fray.
A foul odor wafted through the air, emanating from the water now soaking Quinn's clothes. Quinn was left in a pitiful state with her long seaweed-like hair sticking to her head and her clothing clinging to her body, revealing the outline of her undergarments.
She slowly looked up and wiped her face. Her expression turned icy as she confronted Ariana. "What is the meaning of this, Ariana?"
Ariana shot back menacingly, "What do I mean? Have you no shame at all, weren’t you trying to seduce my husband? This time, it's just a warning with stale water, but if you try anything again, it'll be sulfuric acid that will be thrown at you next time!"
With that threat, Ariana turned to leave. Nora frowned and was about to go to Quinn's side when Quinn spoke, "Wait a moment."
Ariana stopped and turned to look at Quinn. Taking advantage of the moment, Quinn grabbed a tray of soup from a waiter passing by on his way to a private room and threw it at Ariana. The soup splashed all over her, the scalding liquid turning her exposed skin an angry red.
Ariana screamed, clutching her face, "You wretched woman, you'll pay for this! What are you waiting for? Teach her a lesson!" Her bodyguards then sprang into action, looking intensely threatening as they rushed towards Quinn.
Nora, startled by the turn of events, quickly called to Frederick, "Frederick, help her out!" Frederick followed the order, pulling Quinn back and engaging in a tussle with the bodyguards.
Nora hurried over to Quinn, concern evident in her voice, "Are you all right?"
"I'm in trouble! Nora, step back. I’ll handle this." The usually charming woman had a face as cold as ice now. She strode over to Ariana, grabbed the front of her dress, and started slapping her furiously back and forth.
"Who are you calling a wretch? Who in the hell seduced your husband? Do you think everyone is as idle as you? But with your kind of classlessness, if I were your husband, I'd probably have a mistress too!"
Ariana's continuous screams filled the air as the altercation escalated. After realizing what was happening, she began to frantically scratch Quinn's face and pull her hair.
Quinn was not one to back down easily, and the two of them grappled and tumbled around, snatching at each other's hair.
Nora stood to the side, utterly shocked.
Who would have thought that Quinn, who appeared so delicate, could be so fierce! But Quinn was too slender, and Ariana, using her heavier body, managed to shove her to the ground and climb on top of her, intent on ripping her clothes off while hurling insults at her.
Seeing Quinn at a disadvantage, Nora moved in to help.
But she had only taken a step when someone grabbed her arm. "Nora, don't go."
The voice sounded familiar, and when Nora turned around, she saw a man dressed in a black trench coat and a black face mask looking at her. He pulled down his mask slightly, revealing a sharply handsome face. It was indeed Baldwin.
Recognizing him, Nora said, "Baldwin, let go of me. She's my friend, and I can't let her be bullied."
She tried to move again, but Baldwin held firm. "Stay back, I'll handle this." With long strides, he approached and barked at Ariana, "Stop it, or don't blame me for hitting a woman."
Startled by his command, Ariana paused and looked up at him.
Quinn seized the opportunity to bite down hard on the hand that was grabbing her.
Ariana let go in pain, which allowed Quinn to push her away and reverse the positions, sitting on top of Ariana and slapping her furiously.
Quinn's gaze was fierce, and she hit with such force that Ariana's cries filled the air, her face quickly swelling and turning red.
Baldwin watched the scene, torn with indecision. Eventually, he stepped back, unable to watch any longer, and stood beside Nora. "Nora, your friend is quite a fighter. Do you think I should step in and break it up?" he asked hesitantly.
Nora touched her nose and saw that Frederick had subdued several security guards who were now clutching their stomachs and sprawling on the ground, unable to rise.
"Let her vent a little more," she suggested.
Baldwin nodded and stood silently by her side, continuing to observe.
A middle-aged man hurried over. "Stop fighting, that's enough!"
Quinn, too, was tired from the scuffle and stood up, breathing heavily upon seeing the newcomer.
