Chapter 2362

The girl was dressed to the nines in a Chanel-inspired outfit, her neck draped with a ruby necklace that glittered under the café lights. She pouted at her boyfriend, exasperated, "I'm so tired, and there's not even a place to sit!" Her boyfriend, wearing a sleek black leather jacket, tried to soothe her, "Don't worry, babe. I'll spend whatever it takes to get you a seat."

Her eyes wandered around the room until they settled on Estelle and Jonathan's table. Pointing decisively, she said, "That spot's perfect. Right by the window with a view outside."

Jonathan, surprised by the brazen offer, looked up at the man but remained silent.

The man sneered, reaching for Estelle's coffee cup, "Refuse a simple request and you'll face the consequences. You're giving up those seats whether you like it or not." Before he could continue, Jonathan's foot connected solidly with him, sending him sprawling into a nearby table, grimacing in pain and struggling twice to get back on his feet. The room fell silent as everyone's attention turned to the commotion.
