Chapter 74 Lucy, You Can Try To Hit Her! Violeta glanced at Casey.

In response, Casey raised her eyebrows as if to say, "What can you do to me?" Her expression seemed to invite a smack, but instead, she said, "Oh, sorry. I didn't notice you coming over just now. Did I bump into you? Are you hurt?" "She is standing here just fine. How could she be hurt... "The people from the dance club in the back row chimed in.

Zoren quickly walked to Violeta's side and asked, "Vio, are you okay? Did you get burned?" Violeta replied, "I'm fine." Zoren criticized Casey. "Are your eyes just for decoration?" Casey dared to do this because Lucy was back now, and with Lucy backing them up, they didn't have to pay any price.

Sure enough, Lucy turned around, glanced at the plate on the ground, and then looked at Violeta.

"It was just a light bump. If she had held it firmly, nothing would have happened. Who do you want to blame?" Zoren turned his head. "What did you say, Lucy?" Lucy crossed her arms and looked resolute as she said, "With so many people in the cafeteria, is it really that rare to accidentally bump into someone while walking? If she had held it firmly, nothing would have happened." Anyone with eyes could see that the people from the dance club were deliberately causing trouble just now. But now Lucy was openly protecting the people from the dance club, which undoubtedly fueled their arrogance. Since Lucy had already made her stance clear, Violeta didn't want to give her a good face anymore.

She saw Violeta turn to the side and pick up the tray from Kaylee's hand, directly covering it on Casey's body. "Ah!" Casey screamed in pain, using her hand to vigorously pat away the soup and leftover food. "Violeta! What are you doing!" Casey glared at Violeta and cursed, "Are you crazy!" Violeta crossed her arms and imitated what Lucy had just said to Casey, "Is it such a rare thing to accidentally bump into someone while walking? Couldn't you just not stand in front of me?" "You!" "What? I haven't even blamed you for bumping into my tray, but speaking of which, what's the big deal about getting a little bit of leftover food on you? Are you made of paper?" Violeta had a way with sarcastic remarks.

She threw their previous conversation back at them.

Casey's hand trembled in anger. "Violeta, are you deliberately picking a fight? Who do you think you are... Before she could finish her sentence, she felt the gazes of several men at the nearby table, and the rest of her words got stuck in her throat.

Casey felt a wave of fear. She had forgotten that Violeta now had these men as her backers. She was just an ordinary person. How could she possibly fight against them? So Casey glanced at Lucy and said with a touch of grievance, "Lucy...

Seeing her club member being bullied, Lucy naturally couldn't tolerate it.

She had a preconceived bias against Violeta, and now that she saw Violeta physically attacking members of the dance club, she immediately concluded that Violeta was a scheming woman who wanted to climb the social ladder! Lucy followed Casey's words and said, "Violeta, you're so arrogant, huh? Who do you think you are? It's not your turn to teach my club member a lesson!" Lucy had never shown a friendly face to Violeta from the beginning.

Violeta was polite to her only because she used to be Jasper's ex.

Since Lucy kept acting like this, Violeta naturally wouldn't give her any face.

"A dog that bullies others is not good. What kind of person can raise such a dog?" Well said! If it weren't for Kaylee's inability to talk to Lucy, she would have screamed to cheer Violeta on.

stood her ground and retaliated against Lucy.

Kaylee silently cheered for Violeta in her heart.

Lucy understood Violeta's sarcasm. Even senior students would be polite to her when she was in school. Now that she had only been away for a year, when did it becacceptable for a freshman to speak so arrogantly in front of her? Lucy immediately raised her hand to slap Violeta in the face.

"You insolent girl!" The nearby onlookers widened their eyes in surprise.

Kaylee and Zoren were both prepared to catch Lucy's hand before it reached Violeta.

Unexpectedly, a low, cold, and clear male voice cfrom the table.

"Lucy, go ahead and hit her. Let's see what happens!" Hayden's voice carried a distinct air of gravity, neither light nor heavy. He remained reclined in his chair, exuding an aura of calm and nobility. His dark eyes were deep and almost black, showing no obvious change in expression, but they gave the impression that his gaze was sharper than before.

Lucy's hand halted, her slender fingers trembling slightly before she put it down.

She turned to Hayden in disbelief and asked, "Hayden, what do you mean?" Everyone present was shocked! With just a few words, Hayden managed to calm down the furious Lucy.

Only a few people among the onlookers knew about Hayden's influential background.

But Zoren and others present were well aware, as were the members of the dance club.
