Chapter 491 - Taste Of His Own Medicine
Grace looked at the fierce and hostile lobby manager and pleaded, "Sir, this matter really has nothing to do with my friend. I"ll eat the sc.r.a.ps. Please just let him leave!"
Her beautiful face was still stained with undried tears, and despite wearing a waitress uniform, she was still as beautiful as ever.
Many people in the hall couldn"t help but be amazed by her beauty and take pity on her.
They could also tell that Gisele abhorred Grace because of the latter"s stunning looks and thus decided to humiliate her in public.
But everyone knew that Gisele was from a prestigious and formidable family, so no one was willing to stand up for a waitress at the expense of offending the Taylors.
Many people turned their faces away and stopped looking this way.
Gisele smirked complacently.
She had initially just wanted to deal with Grace, whom she felt was a vixen that went around seducing others. But she didn"t expect this waitress to be friends with Lucas, who had embarra.s.sed her before.
When she first met Lucas at the entrance of Club Splendor on the day of the auction, she had felt that Lucas was quite good-looking, and she had also intended to make him pose as her boyfriend. However, she didn"t expect him to reject her without any hesitation at all. He had even avoided her when she threw herself at him, and there was even a trace of infuriating disgust in his eyes.
Gisele always had a bunch of men vying for her favor and b.u.t.tering her up. Yet Lucas was blind and dared to reject her, which was a huge insult to her!
When she instigated the dimwit Kyle to deal with Lucas, Kyle had failed and even ended up being taught a lesson by Lucas together with his bodyguard.
From that day on, Gisele was really frustrated and also felt a strong urge to humiliate Lucas. Today, the chance to do so fell straight into her lap!
How could she easily let Lucas off?
After seeing Gisele"s expression, Lucas was certain that they definitely wouldn"t be able to settle the matter peacefully today. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the manager, who was putting on airs. "Did you just say that the food on the floor is worth a couple hundred dollars and it"s our blessing that Miss Taylor is willing to reward us?"
The looby manager immediately raised his head and said proudly, "That"s right! Otherwise, you paupers wouldn"t be able to afford the food in the Lion Restaurant at all. I"m warning you, don"t be ignorant. You"d better gobble up all the food on the floor before I let you off!"
Lucas snorted coldly in contempt before raising his legs and walking toward the chubby manager.
Staring at the cold smirk on Lucas"s face, the manager suddenly had an ominous feeling.
"What… what are you trying to do? I told you to eat the food on the floor. Are you deaf?" he hollered again.
Grace also sensed something and looked at Lucas worriedly. "Lucas Gray, you… Please don"t do anything!"
Previously, she had seen with her own eyes that Lucas could knock over more than ten bodyguards mercilessly. If he was now furious at the manager, he would definitely beat the manager up. By then, neither the Lion Restaurant nor Gisele would let Lucas off!
Lucas smiled faintly at her. "Don"t worry. I won"t do anything to him."
He continued walking toward the lobby manager.
As the distance between them got closer and closer, the chubby manager"s heart became more and more nervous. He subconsciously took two steps backward and yelled in a moment of panic, "Stop! You"re not to come closer again! If you come closer, you… you"ll then be deliberately creating trouble, and I"ll get security to beat you up!"
Lucas sneered and suddenly moved before appearing directly in front of the lobby manager.
Under everyone"s horrified eyes, Lucas grabbed the manager"s hair and then dragged him directly to the dining table where Gisele was. Then he kicked the lobby manager in the bend of his knee, causing him to fall onto his knees.
Holding the manager"s hair, Lucas pressed his head onto the food sc.r.a.ps on the floor that had been spat on by Gisele and dirtied by the filthy soles of the manager.
"Didn"t you just say that this meal is worth hundreds of dollars and it"s a blessing to be able to eat it? I"ll now give you this blessing. Polish it off for us!"
The lobby manager"s face was pale, and he was desperately struggling to break free from Lucas"s hand. But Lucas"s hand was like an iron clamp secured tightly around his head, making it impossible for him to get up.
Lucas"s gaze was cold, and his face was expressionless as he was exuding a terrifying aura. Everyone got the chills.
This young man is so domineering!
After seeing his behavior, many people felt a sense of relief and comfort.
Just now, the lobby manager was like a dog barking for Gisele, and his fawning look made others feel like throwing up.
Moreover, the words he said were really inhumane. He had deliberately stepped the food thrown onto the floor and forced them to eat it using the excuse that it was a blessing. It was absolutely disgusting!
Many people had already cursed at the manager furiously, but they didn"t dare to speak out because of Gisele"s ident.i.ty.
Lucas happened to do something they didn"t dare to do, which was simply a tremendous pleasure!
Many people secretly cheered for Lucas because they felt that this was exactly how the vile and mercenary manager should be dealt with!
When Gisele saw the manager being pinned to the ground in front of the food like a dog, anger surged in her heart, and a grimace of fury appeared on her face.
But she soon glanced at the staff at the back of the restaurant with an icy cold gaze. Hah, Lucas Gray, you punk, just continue being smug. In no time, you won"t be able to cry at all!
The manager"s face was being pressed on the pile of dirty food, but he naturally refused to eat it, so he desperately moved his head to the side while spitting out the rice that had touched the corners of his mouth. He roared in rage, "Punk! You… Hurry up and let go of me! Otherwise… I"ll teach you a lesson!" He started retching.
The pile of food on the floor had not only been soiled by Gisele"s saliva but also dirt from the soles of his shoes, as well as the leftover food sc.r.a.ps. It was absolutely revolting, and after some of this food mixture was forced into his mouth, the manager couldn"t help but throw up.
"You"re the one who concocted this upscale dish, and you also said it yourself that it"s a blessing to be able to eat such a meal. So, gobble it all up!" Lucas said coldly.
The manager was practically on the verge of collapsing. He had planned to humiliate Lucas, but it backfired, and he ended up having a taste of his own medicine. It simply felt horrible!
"You… Don"t act like a madman! Cleve! Cleve, help!" The manager suddenly yelled for help.
When Grace heard this name, she shuddered and immediately said to Lucas, "Oh no! Lucas, leave quickly! Now! Leave right now!"
But it was already too late.
As soon as she finished speaking, several burly men with their arms exposed walked out of the staff aisle not far away and surrounded Lucas aggressively.
"Punk, you"re trying to leave after beating someone up? Have you asked for our permission?"
The moment Grace saw these people, her heart sank to rock bottom!
