Chapter 332 A Mad Dog
Laura hesitated for a moment before saying, "James, you were really impulsive just now. Why did you hit Efrain? Do you know how terrifying the Mae family behind him is?"
"No matter how terrifying the Mae family is, if anyone dares to bully you, I'll make them pay for it!" James turned his head to look at Laura, his tone unusually calm.
Laura was stunned by James' words, her face showing an indescribable sense of being moved.
She never expected James to show such a domineering side for her.
Nancy, Lily, and the others seemed to be used to the usually timid and useless James, so they were somewhat shocked to see him like this.
They now realized that it wasn't that James was a coward, but that sometimes he just didn't care about certain things.
Laura looked at James, feeling very touched but also a bit worried. Various emotions mixed together, and she didn't know how to express her feelings, so she just silently looked at James, enjoying the sense of security he brought her.
At this moment, Audrey hurriedly ran over to Laura, James, and the others, whispering urgently, "Laura, what are you all still standing here for? You need to leave quickly, or you might get into trouble!"
"Why won't we be able to leave?" Laura was puzzled and asked in a confused tone.
"I just heard Efrain making a call to get people over here. You know what kind of person Efrain is; he always seeks revenge for the smallest grievances. Your boyfriend beat him up like this; he definitely won't let it go!" Audrey quickly explained.
"Isn't it just Efrain? What can he do to us?" Nancy replied disdainfully, pouting.
"Nancy, I know you're not afraid of Efrain, but that doesn't mean James isn't. Besides, you guys don't usually stay in Willowbrook, so there's no need to keep entangling with someone like Efrain. You've already gained the upper hand today. If Efrain's people really block you here later, it won't be worth it!" Audrey advised earnestly.
Actually, Audrey was urging Laura and the others to leave not just out of concern for their safety, but also because she didn't want to see the situation escalate. After all, it was her birthday today, and if things got out of hand, she would also be responsible.
Laura hesitated for a moment and then said softly, "I think Audrey is right. Efrain has already apologized to me, so there's no need to keep tangling with him. Let's leave quickly!"
"Alright!" James nodded lightly, also not intending to stay any longer.
"That's great! I'll take you out now!"
Audrey was very happy to see that Laura and James agreed to leave, and she quickly walked towards the restaurant's entrance.
Nancy was a bit unhappy to see James and the others leaving because she felt it was too humiliating to leave like this.
But since Laura and the others had already agreed to leave, she didn't dare to object and could only pout and follow Laura towards the restaurant's entrance.
In no time, they reached the entrance of the restaurant, but before James and the others could leave, Efrain blocked their way.
"Efrain, what do you mean by this?" Audrey, eager to get Laura and the others out, was very unhappy to see Efrain blocking the door.
"You don't know? This guy beat me until I spat blood and made me kneel to apologize to Laura. Now that I've apologized and taken the beating, they think they can just leave?" Efrain shouted loudly, glaring.
"Efrain, I know you're very upset right now, but today is my birthday. If you have any grudges, you can settle them later. Can you let them go today for my sake?" Audrey pleaded, her tone somewhat helpless.
Efrain couldn't help but sneer at this and shouted, "When I was getting beaten, where were you to speak up for me? Now you want me to let them go? I'm telling you, this isn't over today. No one can leave; everyone has to stay here and wait!"
"Efrain, you..." Audrey was at a loss for words, not knowing what to say.
At this moment, James suddenly walked up to Efrain.
Seeing James, Efrain instinctively took two steps back, worried that James might start hitting him again without warning.
"What do you want?" Efrain stammered, taking two steps back.
"Get out of the way!" James said calmly to Efrain.
"I'm standing right here. What can you do to me?" Efrain shouted excitedly, glaring.
"Looks like you haven't had enough of a beating. I advise you to get out of the way quickly, or I won't mind hitting you again. Got it?" James said coldly.
"James, I'm telling you, don't act tough in front of me! My people are on their way, and I won't let you go today. If you have the guts, kill me!"
Efrain was determined to keep James here, so he stood at the restaurant's entrance with a defiant attitude.
If Efrain let James leave today, he wouldn't be able to show his face in Willowbrook anymore. So he had to regain his dignity while the others were still around.
James looked at Efrain and smiled helplessly. He didn't want to continue this confrontation; he had only hit Efrain to make him apologize to Laura.
But now, James had no reason to hit him again, and he knew that even if he did, Efrain might not move. So James felt a bit stuck.
"James, weren't you acting tough just now? Come on, hit me again! If you dare to touch me, I'll make you pay a hundredfold!"
Efrain continued to provoke James when he saw him staying silent.
"Do you think I really don't dare to hit you?" James replied indifferently.
"Then try it!" Efrain stepped forward, looking like a mad dog.
At the same time, a roaring sound came from the street outside The Golden Elm Bistro.
A convoy led by a Lamborghini was heading towards The Golden Elm Bistro.
