Chapter 329


    “Poor Xena. It’s all your fault!”


    “You’ll get your karma, you evil woman!”


    Corinne shook off her shock and took a deep breath. She patiently took out some tissue and wiped off


    the Coke dripping off her face. Then, she looked up at the group of people who had no idea just how


    far away from the truth they were. She kept telling herself to calm down and try not to fight back. She


    was just released from the police station, and she did not want to have to end up going back there


    because of a brawl.


    ‘Xena must be the name of the purple–haired female influencer,‘ thought Vicky. D


    However, the man who threw the cup of Coke at her was still angry at her. “Everyone, follow my lead


    and throw your Coke at this shameless woman. Let’s teach her a lesson to never mess with Xena!”


    “Yeah! Her face makes me want to puke. I might as well not waste the Coke!”


    “I’m not going to drink my Coke, too!”


    “Let’s all throw it at her!”


    Everyone picked up their Coke and raised them high. Seeing this, Corinne immediately tried to hide.


    “Shame on all of you!” shouted a man sharply, and the temperature in the fast–food restaurant


    immediately dropped to zero.


    Everyone turned around and saw a tall, handsome man with a darkened face and extraordinary


    temperament standing near the entrance,


    ‘Oh, my god. He’s drop–dead gorgeous!‘ All the women started to swoon.


    “Shame on all of you for ganging up on a poor, helpless girl, All of you better get out of my way, or I’ll let


    the police deal with you. When that happens, you’ll be leaving this ce with a pair of handcuffs in your


    hand!”


    Jeremy’s imposing manner seemed to intimidate everyone there. He was the type that would look


    majestic even when he was not angry. The way he spoke was like the ancient Greek gods booming


    their authority down from the sky, inducing both awe and fear.

    The hecklers instinctively backed away and opened up a path for him. Jeremy steadily walked over to


    Corinne, and his eyes zed with anger when he saw the Coke dripping off her hair and clothes.


    He had only gone out for a while and did not imagine something like this would happen to her. Once


    again, he failed to protect her. How would he ever forgive himself?


    Jeremy calmly picked up Corinne’s half–full Coke from the table and threw it on the group of people in


    a sweeping motion. The Coke sshed out, hitting everyone right in the face. No one was spared at


    all.


    Then, Jeremy flung the cup away. He turned to Corinne, held her face in both of his hands, and gently


    wiped away the sticky Coke liquid left on her face.


    “You’re safe now. Let’s go home,” he said as he tucked her wet hair behind her ear.


    Corinne nodded silently. She then got up and followed Jeremy out of the messy fast–food restaurant.


    She did not want to waste her breath arguing with the group of people who did not know the truth. After


    all, they were as much of a victim since. they were fooled by the mastermind who edited and uploaded


    the video.


    Everyone watched as Jeremy led Corinne out of the fast–food restaurant. They hated themselves for


    letting her go like that, but at the same time, no one dared to step forward to stop him. It was true they


    were intimidated by Jeremy who appeared out of nowhere, but they could not quite put their finger on


    why they were scared of him. If only they knew who he really was.


    “Ahem! That guy must be the girl’s aplice. Why should we be scared of him?”


    “Yeah! We shouldn’t fear him. We should expose him as well.”


    Someone took the lead and fired everyone up to chase after Jeremy and Corinne so that they could


    take pictures of them.
