Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 46 Knowing You're Afraid of Thunder

A sharp scream cut through the air, shrill and jarring.

Walter quickly pushed Bella away. "Who are you? Looking for trouble?"

Bella stepped back but didn't fight. She played with her wine glass, staring at Andrea. "Andrea, what a coincidence!"

Andrea recognized Bella, her face shifting from anger to disbelief to embarrassment.

Walter glared. "Do you know each other?"

I worried Bella might escalate things, so I tried to pull her away. But she shook me off and eyed Walter. "This guy's way younger than my dad. Andrea, if you like younger men, why go after my dad?" "Is she the bitch always giving you trouble?" Walter asked, holding Andrea close.

Clearly, Walter knew Andrea's situation. She must've complained to him a lot.

Andrea hesitated, pushing Walter, trying to leave quickly.

Bella's wine glass shattered. She grabbed Andrea's clothes, her tone calm but hostile. "Who's the bitch? You seduced a married man and now use my dad's money to keep a gigolo?"

I remembered their last bar fight and didn't want a repeat, so I pulled Bella hard, but she wouldn't budge.

Andrea was terrified, knowing Bella's Taekwondo skills and fearing a beating.

But Walter, hot-tempered and unaware, pointed at Bella. "Bitch, you want a beating?"

Bella pushed me aside and fought Walter. He had brute strength but was no match for her. He was soon beaten black and blue.

Ethan and Oliver stayed out of it, knowing Bella wouldn't lose.

Andrea had to drag Walter away. Luckily, it was a quick fight, and the crowd dispersed.

Bella returned, drinking silently.

I knew she felt bad and didn't know how to comfort her. Seeing her drink so much made me feel bad too, so I tugged her sleeve. "Bell, stop drinking."

Ethan pulled me to sit beside him. "Let her drink."
