Chapter: 116

The drunken man staggered closer, resting a hand on her shoulder.

“Why don't you come along with me, huh?"

She shoved his hand away.

Monica jumped in, shouting, “Don't you dare touch her with those disgusting hands!"

The man, wobbling on his feet, nearly toppled over.

Furious, he jabbed a finger toward Monica. "You have got the nerve to shove me, you bitch!"

When he raised his hand to strike Monica, Alicia hurled the object at him.

Chaos erupted instantly.

Physically, they were no match for the man. In the struggle, Alicia was shoved against a table, her arm colliding with a pot of hot soup.

She bit back a cry of pain.

Joshua, who had been standing still, finally moved, ready to step in.

Lilliana grabbed his arm, flashing a smile. "The show's over. Let's leave."

A good number of the onlookers were her fans.

They would undoubtedly defend her if things got messy.

Joshua paused, still staring at Alicia.

Moments later, the restaurant's security showed up alongside the police.

The chaos came to an end.

“Joshua, I said let us go!" Lilliana called out, her voice louder this time.

Joshua finally relaxed as the police restrained the drunken men.

Without another word, he followed Lilliana out.

Just before getting into the car, he cast one last look at the drunks.

Beyond the crowd, a man stood apart.

The tall figure drew his attention.

Caden?

Caden stood just behind the police, exuding an air of authority and dominance that demanded attention.

Joshua looked sullen.

But then he reasoned that, considering Caden's poor relationship with Alicia, he was probably just here for the drama.

Before Joshua could linger on the thought, Lilliana, already in the car, called out, "Joshua, come on, let us go home."

With clenched fists, Joshua slid into the seat beside her.

Lilliana, clearly in high spirits, remarked, "If I were Alicia, I would be humiliated to show my face in public, let alone come here for a meal. She got what she deserved."
