Chapter 2

"What are you planning to do?"

Holding a piece of the broken bottle, I calmly watched them.

Declan stood up, acting like he was judging me.

"Finn, you hurt someone. Shouldn't you apologize?"

Others chimed in, "Apologizing is the least you can do."

"Finn, do you, a broke loser, even know how to respect women?"

"You should kneel and apologize to Lydia, lick her shoes clean!"

"Also, compensate for medical expenses! Or else we'll call the cops!"

My face darkened, "Lick shoes? Compensate?"

Lydia looked at me triumphantly, extending her shoe towards me.

"Smart choice! I know you can't afford to pay my medical bills."

"How about this, kneel down and lick my shoes clean."

"Then spend a night with me, and we'll call it even!"

My voice turned cold, "Are you sure?"

Lydia wiggled her foot, her eyes vulgar, "Considering you're handsome, I'm doing you a favor!"

Without hesitation, I drove the piece of the bottle into Lydia's foot!

The sharp glass pierced through her shoe, stabbing her foot, blood flowing.

Lydia let out a shriek!

"Finn, refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit, I'll kill you!"

She grabbed a bowl from the table and hurled it at me.

I dodged deftly, and the bowl struck Declan behind me!

Blood immediately trickled down his forehead.

"Lydia, are you blind?" Declan yelled, furious.

Lydia quickly apologized, "Sorry, Brother Declan."

"I meant to hit Finn, not you."

Declan shouted, "If you can't fight, don't embarrass yourself!"

"So many men here, do you need to step in?"

Lydia nodded obsequiously, "Yes, yes, yes."

Then she looked at me viciously, "Finn hitting me is like hitting everyone's face!"

"Everyone, get him! Beat this broke loser to death!"

Declan waved his hand at the crowd, "Go!"

In an instant, all the male classmates grabbed empty bottles and surged forward.

I pressed the call button for the front desk, issuing a command, "Someone's causing trouble in private room 6, send the bodyguards over!"

Everyone hesitated, stopping and looking at me uncertainly.

Declan sneered, "We're esteemed guests, very familiar with the clubhouse owner!"

"Calling bodyguards is useless. The owner will protect the clients and fire you instead!"

Then he snapped his fingers again, urging everyone.

"What are you afraid of? He's just a powerless young master at the clubhouse!"

"Even if he's beaten to death, no one will care!"

Encouraged by him, everyone became arrogant again.

Their eyes filled with malice, they approached me.

Just then, there was a commotion outside the private room.

I thought the bodyguards had arrived, but to my surprise, it was Adeline who walked in!

She was so beautiful that everyone's eyes were drawn to her, momentarily forgetting what they were doing.

Jealousy flashed in Lydia's eyes, and she began to remind everyone, "Get him! Why are you staring at Adeline?"

"Adeline belongs to Declan alone. Even if you stare, it's pointless!"

Declan looked at Adeline with pride, waving her and her son over to sit next to him.

Then he glanced at me with a smug look.

He told everyone, "Your sister-in-law doesn't like bloody scenes."

"For her sake, we'll postpone this grudge."

Everyone immediately put down their bottles, showering him with praise.

"Sister-in-law has great influence; marrying Declan is her greatest fortune."

"Finn's lucky; thanks to her, he's off the hook for now!"
