Alicia slapped his hand away, her voice icy: "I've already called the police. You should think twice about your next move." The man sneered and said, “The police? My legs are shaking. Weren't you the one who asked for this?" Monica, hearing this, was furious. "Shut your fucking mouth! We were eating and you were the one who started it all. Nobody agreed to anything with you."

She suppressed a cry of pain.
Joshua, who had been standing motionless, finally moved, ready to intervene.
Lilliana grabbed her arm and smiled. "The show is over. Let's go." A good part of the spectators were fans of his.
