Chapter 35 The Weak Bark the Loudest

Kate observed Ruth blocking her path, sneering inwardly.

Although Ruth was eager to kneel and flatter Lana, she had to temporarily align herself with Kate until Lowe Group was acquired.

With a cold gaze, Kate pushed Ruthf orward, causing a collision with two approaching individuals. Meanwhile, Kate nonchalantly grabbed a red wine bottle from the table.

The bottle crashed onto a man’s head with a resounding bang. Glass shattered, and a mixture of red wine and blood trickled down his face, eliciting screams.

No one anticipated the ferocity of Kate, a seemingly pampered young woman, who showed no hesitation in using a wine bottle as a weapon.

As someone grabbed her arm from behind, Kate swiftly retaliated by stomping on their foot with her high heel. The sharp heel caused the person to release her, allowing Kate to strike them with another bottle.

In a matter of moments, Kate incapacitated two individuals with her ruthless actions.

Meanwhile, Ruth engaged in a physical altercation with two other women, adding to the chaos.

Witnessing this, Lana was dumbfounded, staring at Kate in disbelief.

Was this the same Kate known for her arrogance and lack of physical prowess? Had she transformed into a fearless individual after associating with Eric for three years?

She watched as Kate easily took down her adversaries. And then Kate was inching closer to her, a bottle of wine held in her hand. Lana felt fear seizing her heart. “Don’t come near me!”

A scream escaped her lips, and she scrambled backwards, but she tripped on the table behind her, and the alcohol rained on her.

Lana was screeching like a banshee, her expensive gown tainted by crimson, and she looked like a drowning victim.

“Tsk,” Kate uttered disdainfully, looking down at the disheveled Lana. “That all you got? Can’t believe you tried to fight me.”

Kate looked at Lana with disdain. She scoffed, “I thought you had more. Don’t try to threaten me if you don’t have actual pluck.”

She’s mad. Mad! Lana had fear etched on her face. She screeched, ‘Don’t you dare lay a finger on me, Kate!”

Kate sneered, still staring at Lana coldly. “You started it. You wanted your lackeys to tear my face off. You claim I’m nothing but Eric’s plaything. A hollow suit. An empty shell.”

“But more importantly, you called Eric a madman. I don’t mind you calling me names, but doing

that to Eric?”

“It is unforgivable.”

Another bang exploded in the air.

And a scream followed.

In a swift motion, Kate shattered the wine bottle, causing Lana to scream in agony as tears mixed with blood and wine streamed down her face.

Disregarding the chaos around her, Kate maintained her cold and arrogant facade, leaving onlookers in awe of her unexpected ruthlessness.

Kate tossed the shattered bottle aside, staring at the onlookers icily. None dared to step ahead. They did not think Kate would go through with the violence, and she did it cleanly.

It appeared that Kate, once perceived as a delicate flower of the Lowes, had transformed into a formidable force after her association with Eric.

The security guards of the Emperor Hotel arrived at the scene, grappling with the aftermath of the chaotic confrontation.

“What is happening here? Are you aware that the Emperor Hotel does not allow disturbances?”

The captain of the security guards shouted angrily, with the other guards behind him prepared to remove all the troublemakers.

Ruth and the others finally ceased their fighting. The three of them were engaged in a fierce altercation. Ruth had swelling on both sides of her face, with scratches on her neck and arms. The other two women were also in a disheveled state, with scratches on their faces from Ruth, torn clothes, and messy hair.

Upon seeing Ruth’s pitiful condition, Kate almost couldn’t resist laughing, but she managed to maintain a cold and aloof expression.

“What happened?”

The leader of the security team focused his gaze on the only unscathed Kate and inquired in a deep voice, “Why did you engage in a fight inside the Emperor Hotel?”

He was unaware of Kate’s identity, but the powerful aura emanating from her was intimidating; she did not seem like an ordinary person.

Kate’s eyes were indifferent as she casually remarked, “Lana provoked the fight with her offensive language. I simply defended myself.

The leader of the security team furrowed his brow. “Self–defense? Is this level of violence justified as self–defense?”

His tone displayed impatience. The Emperor Hotel strictly prohibited causing disturbances, and

establishment.

Kate’s gaze turned colder. “Should I have just stood there and allowed myself to be beaten. without retaliating?”
