Chapter 54
Halfway through, Justin headed to the restroom, and some girls, thinking Agnes was only in the spotlight because of Justin, started mocking her openly.
"She's been trailing Mr. Smith forever and is still just a tag-along. How shameless can she get?"
"Yeah, I heard she confessed to Mr. Neville like ten times at the press conference!"
"Not just that, I heard she likes girls too!"
"Wow, she's so weird."
Agnes wondered why she even bothered coming to the reunion. These people hadn't gotten any smarter with age.
As the gossip got nastier, even the guys who were having fun joined in. Just as Agnes was about to get up and leave, a guy at the next table stood up. "Are you here for the reunion or to gossip? Before you start judging others, maybe you should take a look in the mirror. Shut up, all of you!"
The guy's face turned red, maybe from excitement or nerves.
Agnes was a bit surprised. Besides her close friends, few people ever stood up for her. And this guy wasn't even someone she knew well.
If she remembered right, his name was John.
Even though John's reaction surprised everyone, they didn't take a nobody seriously. Instead, they started to mock him.
"John, you don't like that tomboy, do you?" The girl who called Agnes a "tomboy" clearly implied that even though Agnes was beautiful, her personality was like a boy's, making her unattractive.
Unexpectedly, John didn't deny it but loudly admitted, "So what if I do? I like Agnes, and I don't care about you ungrateful girls!"
"How touching!"
"Scary! What did Agnes give John to make him so excited?"
"John, you better not like her, or she'll probably kick your ass!"
John stayed silent.
Agnes never thought of herself as having a good temper. If it weren't for the crowd and the occasion, she would have lost it long ago.
"Is the food to your taste?" she asked the girls across from her with a smile.
The girls nodded, not understanding, "The food here can be compared to the fifth floor of Alioth at Sunrise International Shopping Mall. Of course, it's delicious."
"Then I won't let you eat it!" Faced with the relentless female classmates, Agnes decided to fight back. She stood up abruptly and slammed the table hard. The crisp sound made the wine glass in front of her fall to the ground.
The entire private room fell silent.
Then, Agnes's actions made the girls scream.
The dining table was fixed and couldn't be moved. She turned around, grabbed her chair, and smashed it against the table. The exquisite dishes and plates shattered instantly.
"Agnes, are you crazy?"
"This is Wonderhaven Private Club. Can you afford to pay for this?"
People backed away, not wanting to get caught in the chaos.
Agnes rolled her eyes, took a step back, and kicked Justin's chair towards the next table.
The girls who had been mocking Agnes immediately fell silent. The boys who were close to Agnes, sensing her next move, hurried to stop her.
Agnes shook them off and coldly announced, "Anyone who stops me today, we're done!" These gossiping women could talk about her behind her back all they wanted, but today, if she didn't put an end to their bad habit of gossiping about her, she wouldn't be Agnes!
"Agnes, these utensils are expensive!" a boy kindly reminded her. Whether Agnes was wealthy was always a mystery to everyone.
If she was poor, she had a BMW to pick her up; if she was rich, her clothes and accessories weren't top brands.
Expensive or not, she didn't care. After all, wasn't Leopold rich? He wanted her to spend money, right? Today, she would spend to her heart's content!
She grabbed a whiskey bottle from the table and threw it in front of the girls. They couldn't dodge in time and fell into a heap.
The waiters, who had been standing by, were witnessing someone daring to cause trouble here for the first time and were stunned, forgetting to call security. Agnes coolly pinned a girl who had slandered her and John against the wall. "If you keep running your mouth, I'll kick your ass!"
The girl was so scared by her fierce demeanor that she could only nod repeatedly.
Justin pushed open the private room door with a drunken classmate, only to see the mess inside. He looked in, confused. What he saw was Agnes grabbing a girl's collar and pinning her against the wall.
"Agnes, Agnes, what's going on?" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at Justin's voice.
They all gathered around, "Mr. Smith, please pull Agnes away. She's gone mad. Look at the mess she's made!" Some timid classmates, fearing the situation would escalate, had already quietly slipped away.
After understanding the situation, Justin gave a surprising response.
He jumped onto a chair, glaring down at the group of girls in the corner, and erupted in anger, "You bitches have too much time on your hands! There's a limit to your nonsense. None of you are leaving today! Agnes, do whatever you want. I'll take responsibility for whatever happens!"
Justin, already tall, seemed even more imposing now on the chair. If the ceiling weren't high enough, he might have hit it.
As the situation seemed to spiral out of control, a waiter finally remembered to call security. Just as she was about to leave, Justin shouted, "No one leaves!"
