Chapter 314: Chapter 314

Anna Thornton had just retreated to the edge of the crowd, gloating, when suddenly someone bumped into her, knocking over the glass of wine in her hand.

It was a small waiter from the bar, bowing his head and repeatedly apologizing to Anna Thornton: "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to!"

Anna Thornton picked up the glass, and the other person happened to look up at her: "It’s you! You’re the guy from the tea shop?"

"Great, I didn’t expect to run into you here! I went to the tea shop later, and they all said you weren’t there. I’ve always wanted to find a chance to return the clothes to you."

"Oh, it’s you!" Anna Thornton remembered.

The young girl bullied by Angela Thornton at the tea shop before.

"You work here?" Anna Thornton asked her.

"Yeah, I go to classes during the day and do part-time at the bar at night. I have more time on weekends, so I do some tutoring."

"That’s quite tough!"

"It’s okay." Faye Duval looked a bit shy in front of Anna Thornton, lowered her head, and smoothed her hair before continuing, "So you’re the Young Master Thornton from earlier? Your clothes must be pretty expensive."

"It’s okay, they’re just costumes anyway."

Faye Duval didn’t understand what Anna Thornton meant. She was about to say she would get the clothes and return them to her, but by the time she came out with them, Anna Thornton had already left. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn NovєlFіre.net

Anna Thornton walked out of the bar with Mary, still feeling satisfied about having ripped off Wyatt Jagger today.

"Anna, you didn’t see it, but Wyatt Jagger’s expression at the end was priceless."

"Serves him right! He’s kept me from spending time with Lola and Pop for nearly a month!" said Anna Thornton, getting angry again at the thought of it.

The wrath of a mom is not to be underestimated.

"I deliberately ordered the bar’s snack platter to rip him off a bit more. Want to share?"

"What do they have?" Anna Thornton leaned in to check Mary’s package, "I just ran into an acquaintance. You should have ordered from her, could’ve given the little sister working part-time a bit of commission."

Faye Duval chased them out of the bar and saw a few thugs with sticks following Anna Thornton and Mary. She screamed, "Young Master Thornton, watch out!"

"Young Master Thornton? Are you talking to me?"

Anna Thornton turned around, and the iron rod in the thug’s hand came straight for her forehead.

However, it didn’t hit Anna Thornton. The iron rod was blocked before it landed.

Mason King and Leo King were under President Sterling’s orders, secretly protecting Anna Thornton all the while.

Anna Thornton wasn’t surprised by their presence; instead, she looked at the weapon-wielding thugs and asked, "Who are you guys?"

"Kid, you’re pretty arrogant! I’ve been in Veridia for so many years and never heard of any Young Master Thornton!"

"So? Do you have a problem with that?" Anna Thornton asked them.

"Exactly! You took all the attention at our turf, and we’ve got a big problem with you!"

"Ha, that’s ridiculous! I’ve been in Veridia for so many years, and I’ve never heard that the beauties entering this part of the club are by your rules. Do you even look at yourselves? What do you have to offer that deserves another look from a beauty? Not good-looking, no skills, and too stingy to spend money?"

Anna Thornton dared to talk , bolstered by the presence of her bodyguards.

A group of thugs, already hot-blooded, got even more riled up by her and immediately jumped up: "Brothers, let’s get him!"

Mason King and Leo King stood in front of Anna Thornton, and the thugs couldn’t get past them.

Anna Thornton munched on a fry, while discussing with Mary, "These two guys have pretty good skills!"

However, she didn’t notice that a previously hidden thug, ready to block her path, came from another direction, bypassing Mason King’s and Leo King’s defense line, and silently circled behind Anna Thornton and Mary.

"Young Master Thornton, watch out!"

Faye Duval rushed over to shield her from the strike aimed at Anna Thornton.

Anna Thornton only felt someone hug her from behind, and then the young girl’s legs went weak as she fell heavily to the ground.

"Damn!" Anna Thornton was shocked and furious, "Mary, take care of her, please."

"I’m going to beat him up!"

Mary suspected that Anna Thornton’s acting skills were so good because another persona inside her was awakened.

Otherwise, why was she still being so manly even after the play was over?

"Hey, you’re also a weak girl! Why are you fighting with thugs?" Mary shouted in her heart.

She worried that Anna Thornton would suffer a loss, but seeing Anna Thornton charge forward, ferociously kicking the thug who sneak-attacked her in the groin, followed by a series of uncoordinated but ferocious punches and kicks.

As she fought, she also lectured the thug: "Hitting women? You think it’s okay to hit women? What do you take yourself for? I’m gonna beat the crap out of you! Beat the crap out of you!"

"Well, looks like she’s really stressed out lately and needs a way to vent." Mary felt relieved as she squatted down to help Faye Duval up.

The scene temporarily fell into chaos. Mason King, after dealing with one thug, surprisingly took out a note from his pocket to jot down: "11 PM, Miss Thornton swore in front of the bar!"

Wyatt Jagger came out from the bar and saw the chaos outside. He was just about to circle around and leave when his agent had already pulled up to pick him up.

In the gap of beating people, Anna Thornton noticed him and shouted to the thugs: "Don’t just target me, didn’t Young Master Jagger also overshadow you tonight?"

Hearing this, the already enraged little thugs, seeing no way to gain an advantage from Anna Thornton and her, really turned their attention and pounced on Wyatt Jagger.

He didn’t know whether or not it was appropriate to swear.

Anna Thornton! Just you wait!

With Wyatt Jagger joining the fight, the scene became even more chaotic.

With the bodyguards President Sterling specifically sent for Anna Thornton, of course, those little thugs couldn’t gain any advantage from her.

Anna Thornton was about to send Faye Duval to the hospital, and Wyatt Jagger, who had gained some scrapes, decided to go along too.

Actually, Young Master Jagger had only been accidentally hit on the foot by a dropped iron rod from one of the fleeing thugs, yet he had exaggerated it by getting an X-ray. Despite the doctor confirming there was no muscle or bone damage, he insisted on staying in the hospital for observation overnight.

Anna Thornton finally understood the rumor circulating online about a certain young idol who got a small prick on the hand during filming, stopped all work immediately, and had a group of assistants and agents rush him to the hospital. The doctor joked that if he’d come any later, the wound would have healed. Turns out it was true indeed.

Compared to him, it was Faye Duval’s injuries that worried Anna Thornton.

This girl got hurt because of her, now lying on a hospital bed, still unconscious.

Anna Thornton didn’t dare to leave and stayed by her side in the ward all night.

Inside, Mason King and Leo King, the two bodyguards, stood outside, constantly guarding.

Anna Thornton came out at night to pour a cup of water and saw the two still standing straight, like two sculptures of guardian deities.

Originally, President Sterling had them protect Anna Thornton, assuming they’d stay hidden.

But since they had already been exposed today, the brothers didn’t feel the need to hide anymore.

To avoid Miss Thornton pulling that salon trick on them again, especially since President Sterling wasn’t in Veridia this time, no one could bail them out in time.
