âWhatâs wrong with what I said? Itâs true that Olivia is a shameless sl*t. Doesnât she feel disgusted being with multiple men?â The moment her words came out, she immediately received a slap, and it was followed by Kateâs cold voice. âHow dare you?!â
The woman held her face and blew a gasket as she rushed toward Kate. However, Nathan stepped forward to grab the womanâs wrist with his left hand before uttering in a cold voice. âWhat are you trying to do? Donât you know you should be embarrassed?â
At the moment, the people dining in the restaurant and the owner all came to calm down the situation. âPlease donât fight here.
Letâs talk through this.â âHeâs right. If itâs nothing serious, letâs just talk this out.â
However, the woman replied, âWhat do you mean âjust talk this outâ? You are not the one in a fight, alright?! We were just having a chat when she came to flip our table like a lunatic and slapped me. Does she think she owns the place?â
Kate gave her a fierce stare. âI gave you a chance, but you didnât f*cking take it! You better wait and see. Iâll show you today what trouble your mouth can get you!â
With that, Kate took out her phone and was about to call the police. Looking at her, the woman was a little scared. She actually took her phone out. Is that even necessary?
The crowd also began to calm Kate down. âForget about it. Itâs nothing serious anyway. I believe that they didnât say that on purpose.â âThatâs right. The police will only come here to mediate the situation. We shouldnât be wasting their time.â
Listening to the person, Kate let out a grunt.. âMediate? Publicly degrading or damaging another personâs character and reputation is called slander, and if the circumstances are serious, it is punishable by up to three years of fixed-term imprisonment, detention, control or deprivation of political rights.â
At that point, the crowd started to urge the other three women to stop. âYou should apologize to her quickly. Letâs not mention whether or not this counts as slander. If your names are recorded by the police, it will only affect your future jobs.â
âThatâs right. You should just apologize. To be. honest, you shouldnât talk bad about someone behind their backs in the first place.â
Listening to them, the women looked at Kateâs determined face and didnât dare to provoke her anymore, so they smiled and said, âPlease donât call the police. Weâll apologize to you, okay?â
The other woman added, âSheâs right. We were just bored, so we decided to talk about some hot topics on the Internet.â Then, Kate casted her gaze at the woman with a sharp tongue.
Although the woman didnât want to get the police involved, she still felt aggrieved after receiving a slap for no reason. âBut she slapped me!â
âLooks like we have to call the police after all. Once they arrive here later on, you can explain to them why I slapped you. Also, are you really going to tell them how you slandered my best friendâs name in public?â
Meanwhile, the other two women whispered to urge the woman with a sharp tongue to stop. âLetâs not cause a fuss here.â âJust apologize to her. Itâs nothing anyway.â
In the end, the woman said unwillingly, âIâm sorry!â Finally, Kate withdrew her gaze and looked at the owner. âIâll pay for the broken utensils.â The owner smiled. âYou are still as brilliant as before.â
She smiled back at him. âDo you still remember me?â
âHow could I not? I still remember that a few years ago, you gave that man a slap when he started to take advantage of you while you were having your meal. He hit you back in the end, but we were there to help you out. Then, it was this fella who carried you back home,â the owner said while pointing at Nathan.
Immediately, Nathan remembered about the past. When I came to pick her up, the man had already left. She said that it was because her boyfriend cheated on her, so she hit her, but then he hit her back.
