Hendry's Anger

 The entertainment happening here has been witnessed by the waiters and other guests for quite some time now. The waiters were eager to intervene and put an end to the commotion, but they were well aware of the identity of this particular group of people.

 However, they were clueless about the girl they were fighting with, which made them hesitant to step in and break up the fight. Despite the renowned elegance of the Velvet Bistro, their priority remained the satisfaction of their customers.

 But the group of people were taken aback by the girl's way of speaking, and the waiters couldn't help but feel sorry for her. It is clear from her demeanor that she will have a hard time finding peace in this city in the future.

 Lily was fed up with the stares from everyone around them. In a fit of anger, she attempted to slap Zara, but Zara's quick reflexes caused Lily to trip and fall instead.

 Caleb was caught off guard by Lily's unexpected fall, causing him to lose his balance and fall alongside her. The sudden incident left everyone in shock.

 Their friends and a few waiters rushed to their aid, but Zara simply stood there, silently observing the commotion. Seeing the crowded lobby, she felt the urge to distance herself from the scene.

 As she turned around, she came face to face with the waitress who had been standing there quietly. Looking directly at the girl, she politely inquired, "Excuse me, is there a reservation under the name Hendry?"

 The waitress was taken aback by the girl's request, especially given the current circumstances. However, she couldn't help but feel inspired by her determination. Meeting the girl's gaze, she responded, "Just give me a moment, please."

 Zara maintained her stance and nodded in agreement, while Lily, who had stood up, noticed Zara's composed demeanor. This caused Lily's anger to change from red to blue, and she impulsively moved towards Zara with her hand raised to strike.

 However, Zara swiftly intercepted Lily's hand and spoke in a calm tone, questioning her actions. "Are you certain about this? From what I understand, rich individuals always aim to uphold a favorable public image. You seem to deviate from that norm."

 "At least, I'm better than someone who sleeps with others for fame and money." Lily fired back and tried her best to free herself from Zara. "Leave her! Separate them," Caleb ordered the nearby waiters.

 The waiters paused, unsure of what to do since this wasn't their usual jurisdiction and they lacked the power to kick someone out. They could only intervene if the individual didn't have a reservation.

 Caleb grew impatient as he watched them hesitate for what felt like an eternity. "If you don't follow my instructions, I'll ensure you all face the consequences," he yelled at them.

 In an instant, the waiters hurriedly approached Zara, attempting to restrain her and force her out. Just then, the waitress who had gone to confirm the reservation returned and witnessed the chaotic scene of the staff converging on the girl.

 Without wasting a moment, she dashed towards them and exclaimed, "She actually has a reservation here! She's our valued customer."

 "Who cares if she made a reservation? We're VIP card holders, remember? We should be given priority," one of Caleb's group members exclaimed, clearly annoyed.

 "But..." Before she could finish her sentence, a voice interrupted from the elevator side. "What's happening here?" Hendry, who had just finished a long call at work, approached to find a group of people gathered in the middle of the lobby.

 As he approached, he noticed his sister engulfed by a crowd, and a few waiters heading towards her. In response, he hurriedly stepped forward, his voice dripping with frostiness.

 Hendry swiftly moved ahead, positioning himself between Zara and the gathering. "Who do you think you are, barging in here? This is our business, so go and attend to your duties," Caleb snapped at him.

 Hendry chuckled and retorted, "You're exerting your power on someone I invited to dine here. Do you really believe I can't ask questions?"

 Caleb burst into laughter and replied, "Oh, so you're the one taking advantage of her, huh?" Their conversation caught the attention of those nearby, who began whispering amongst themselves.

 When Hendry heard those words, his expression became icy and his demeanor exuded a menacing energy that sent shivers down everyone's spine, including Caleb and his friends.

 Lily gazed at the individual facing the girl, who appeared more attractive than any of the boys she had encountered.

 The man was wearing simple and casual clothes but it only amplified his appeal, showcasing a natural, unpretentious style that made him stand out. It was then that she comprehended why the girl had claimed Caleb was not deserving of her.

 However, despite her efforts, her envy continued to intensify as she observed the numerous attractive men casting glances at the girl.

 Determined to confront the situation, she mustered up her bravery and approached them, uttering, "Do not assume that we are oblivious to her actions. She is merely an individual who exchanges her slumber for financial gain."

 Hendry's anger reached its boiling point, yet he managed to keep it in check for Zara's sake. Zara sensed the shift in Hendry's emotions and sympathized with the others present.

 However, she remained silent, though she leaned in and whispered, "Brother, let's not linger here any longer." Upon hearing his sister's words, he recalled that he had whisked her away without allowing her to have breakfast.

 Before he could speak, Lily interjected, "Your Brother? So he's the one backing you up in this disgraceful endeavor, huh?" "What a fine family you have. It appears that you all are quite desperate for money." Another boy chimed in.

 "Why don't you try something different? Let your sister spend the night with me. And I'll provide you with more money than you could ever imagine." Caleb proposed as if presenting them with a potential solution.

 In a sudden burst of anger, Hendry completely lost his composure and lunged at Caleb, delivering a powerful kick straight to his chest. The impact was so intense that it felt like a sledgehammer, instantly robbing Caleb of his breath in a painful gasp.

 Despite being known as the most composed and reliable member of the family, Hendry found himself unable to contain his rage when he witnessed his sister being mistreated.

 As the force of the kick propelled him backward, Caleb crashed onto the ground with a resounding thud, the sound reverberating throughout the entire lobby.

 His eyes widened in a mixture of disbelief and agony as he desperately clutched his chest, trying to alleviate the excruciating pain.

 The entire lobby was filled with disbelief, leaving the group completely at a loss for words. All eyes were fixed on Hendry, who appeared as though he could unleash hell upon anyone who dared to approach him.

 In response, everyone redirected their attention to the man sprawled on the floor. Lily was taken aback by the abrupt turn of events, prompting her to rush over to Caleb. With the assistance of their friends, they extended a helping hand to lift him back up.

 Lily glared at Hendry, feeling a shiver run down her spine at his menacing expression. Despite her fear, she couldn't help but snap, "Just you wait. You're both in for a rough time in this city."

 As Hendry opened his mouth to respond, the restaurant manager intervened, pleading, "Ma'am, please try to relax. We'll handle this situation."

 Lily was furious and exclaimed, "Why don't you tell us how you want this resolved? Can't you see who he kicked? Do you even realize the consequences you'll have to deal with?"

 She was caught up in her anger, not considering the fact that she was just visiting here and this wasn't her hometown. Her friends, who were locals, quickly changed their expressions and attempted to intervene in fear.
