The deputy head pushed the door open and Avery saw a large group of people crowding together. At the center was the waiter from the restaurant. "So that's what's going on." Avery clenched his fist as he fixed his gaze on the waiter. If looks could kill, the waiter would have been dead by now.
"Lottie asked us to cover, which means that she is prepared to move against them." Rick patted Avery's left shoulder. "Calm down, don't be impulsive." "I'm not being impulsive, and I won't hit anyone either. I just think this is interesting." Avery's eyebrows curved and he smiled extremely charmingly, "Rick, your hand is too hot. Move it away." This guy...
Rick touched his forehead. He released his hand and returned to Kendall's side. "No matter what Avery says or does, don't take it to heart, do you understand? Don't talk to him about what happened today either." "Oh, sure..." Kendall nodded in confusion.
"Hey, who are these people? Letsee why there are so many people." Avery walked into the crowd with his hips swaying.
He flounced carelessly to the middle of the fray. Before everyone could stop him, he had already reached the waiter's side.
"Kid, why yare our eyes still red? Oh, you're so pitiful." Avery wiped the corners of his eyes with one hand and pretended to cry.
Kendall felt nauseated and almost couldn't hold back vomiting. She quickly looked away.
Rick put his arm around Kendall's shoulder. He looked discomfited too. "Now do you understand what I mean?" Kendall nodded forcefully.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe definitely understood now. Avery was despicable.
He had no bottom line.
Speople only attacked their enemies, such as Shane and Rick. Others tended to harm themselves at the stime, like suicide bombers. Avery was the second type of person.
Whether they were friend or foe, anyone who saw Avery like this would be scared.
"Who are you?" The waiter's family members looked ready to shove Avery away.
"Why are you pushing me? You're not in the right just because you shout." Avery stepped back, but kept staring at him with his hands on his waist, "What are you doing? Are you going to punchat the police station?" As soon as he said this, the expressions of all the people present becmore unpredictable.
"Don't, don't talk nonsense. Who touched you?" "How can you say that? Why do you reach out your hand if you're not going to do anything? I know, you've been seduced by my beauty and want to sexually harass me. God, aren't you disgusting?" Avery pretended to vomit as he spoke.
"You, you..." The waiter's family member pointed at him, his lips trembling.
Avery cocked his hip and snorted, "What's wrong with me?" By now, Kendall had gotten used to Avery's manner. She leaned over to Rick and said, "Avery is so powerful. Just now, everyone was surrounding him, but now they have all scattered." "Could you do it?" Rick asked.
"I couldn't." "Shane and I can't do it either. The only person who can do it is him." Rick laughed, "That's why he said that it's impossible for you to join our circle. After all, he is the last piece of the jigsaw puzzle. With him, any group will be complete." So that's how it was.
Kendall pursed her lips. "Doesn't he like me?" "He doesn't like women, but he treats Charlotte... He probably treats Charlotte as his good friend," Rick said with a wry smile.
Rick could guess Shane's thinking, but he couldn't begin to guess Avery's thoughts. He was strange and difficult to predict.
Kendall did not speak anymore. She looked at Avery as if she could glean something from him.
After Avery was done, he walked over to Charlotte and sat down beside her. "Lottie, you can say what you want to say now." Charlotte took out a strawberry from her pocket and asked, "Do you want some? Shane bought it. It's very sweet." Avery took a bite and raised his eyebrows. He smiled handsomely and said, "Delicious." "On the way here, we saw a fruit vendor. It just so happened that there was a promotion on strawberries. I checked. One strawberry is less than 1.50 dollars. It's quite a good bargain." "You're right." "Did you take Rick to make a medical report?" Charlotte suddenly changed the topic.
"Yes." Avery brought out a document, and the playful look on his face was replaced by a cruel coldness. "You should think about it carefully. If I bring out this document, you'll have to pay us at least 50,000 dollars." "Isn't this blackmail?" The family members immediately cried out.
"Sorry, this is a medical report. It's a formal report given by the state." The family members immediately burst into an uproar. The waiter didn't expect things to be so serious. He immediately shouted loudly, "Obviously, he bumped intoas I brought the soup. Why should I pay compensation? I was burned too!" When Kendall heard this, she was so angry that she could have exploded. She leaned forward and wanted to join the battlefield.
Rick held her still. "You just need to watch." "He's so annoying. It's obvious that he bumped into you!" Kendall felt wronged and stamped her feet.
Why didn't he let her join in? Before Rick could say anything, Charlotte spoke slowly, "Do you have any evidence to prove that he bumped into you?" "We have evidence that you bumped into him, but let's talk about it first. Once this evidence is brought out, it will be placed on the official record together with the medical report. By then, the courts will determine how much you have to pay in compensation." As she spoke, Charlotte yawned. "The difference between a first-degree burn and second-degree burn is 100,000 dollars. It's the sbetween second and third degrees. Do you want to guess which degree the medical report says?" "You're blackmailing me! You're colluding with the justice system. You rich people only know how to bully ordinary people like us. You're shameless!" The family members of the waiter shouted. When she heard this, Kendall was so angry that she couldn't wait to help Charlotte rebuke them, but Charlotte just looked at her coldly.

It was only when they becmore and more agitated and said more aggressive words that Charlottem raised her slender wrist and revealed the recorder in her hand. "Officer, I want to press charges. They are threatening me. I'm worried that I might meet with an accident. I have evidence too." Evidence.
That word made the police feel helpless, so they could only cover and take her recorder. "Miss Charlotte, are you going to make a report now?" "Yes, I want to file a report and leave this to the law. They are threatening my safety." "Okay, Miss Charlotte."
"How can you just listen to her words and take us to court?" The family was naturally dissatisfied. "We want to file a complaint. We want to report for unfair treatment!"
When she heard this, Charlotte laughed, "Excuse me, ma'am. You're the one who scolded me. It's You'who ve threatened to cto my house and my office. Who are you trying to fool? You said these things yourselves. Do you deny it?" "We said all that out of aggravation. It doesn't count!" "Well, it's fine as long as you admit that you said it." Charlotte looked at the policeman. "Officer, please take down my statement." Kendall swallowed. "Rick..." "What was that?" "Do... do you think she only let... letgo because we, we got along before?" Kendall stammered.
Charlotte was a straight-shooting person.
Based on how swift and decisive Charlotte's actions were, if her daughter were kidnapped, she would definitely not let the people responsible go.
It had barely taken a few sentences for Charlotte to mess with these people.
Yet, Kendall was still standing here, safe and sound...
Kendall swallowed again.
