Chapter 321: Chapter 321: Disfigurement
The manager could tell that Zoe was the one being beaten and finally knew how to intervene.
He grabbed Ashley’s sleeve to stop her from hitting Zoe again.
Meanwhile, he kept persuading, "Miss, stop hitting her, if you continue, it might become a fatal accident..."
However, with the manager’s intervention, Zoe finally got a chance to fight back.
She grabbed Ashley’s hair with one hand, and aimed her long fingernails at Ashley’s face with the other.
Didn’t they used to say in school that Ashley’s looks were way ahead of hers, the former school beauty?
Now that she’s disfigured her, let’s see how Ashley stays ahead!
Ashley first saw the malice on Zoe’s face and immediately guessed what Zoe intended to do.
She didn’t care about her appearance, but that didn’t mean she was willing to be disfigured.
Ashley fiercely yanked her hand back from the manager and immediately raised her hand to protect her face.
Everything happened in an instant, so Zoe’s fingers struck with force but instead of scratching Ashley’s face, they scratched her arm.
Four blood marks appeared on her arm instantly.
The scratches were deep, and if they had been on the tender skin of the face, they would likely have left scars.
Ashley was furious inside.
While she had hit hard before, she’d never resorted to such a scarring black hand.
But given the chance, Zoe aimed for disfigurement, simply malicious!
"You’re asking for death!"
Ashley cursed softly, rushed over again, and directly pinned Zoe to the ground and started hitting her.
Yet even so, she didn’t use her nails to scratch Zoe’s face like Zoe did.
Such a disgusting thing, she couldn’t do it.
If she did, she’d be no different than someone as malicious as Zoe.
"Ah—"
Zoe was unprepared, pinned on the ground.
The back of her head hit heavily against the floor, the pain making her see stars.
"Bitch! Let go! My parents won’t let you go!"
Ashley sneered.
"Before they don’t let me go, I won’t let you go first! Can’t you see who’s getting beaten now!"
The manager, seeing that his intervention made things even more chaotic, didn’t dare to act rashly and could only shout, "Someone! Someone come quickly!"
He didn’t want to make a fuss, especially didn’t want Warren Prescott to hear, hoping to downplay the situation.
But now it seemed, if he didn’t call loudly, blood might be shed today.
At this moment, the doors of two private rooms opened simultaneously, and a group of people rushed out.
Ariana was worried since Ashley hadn’t returned for a long time, especially after what happened when Ashley went to the emergency room in the afternoon.
She was about to check outside when she heard the noise and immediately ran out.
Others followed instinctively.
Meanwhile, Warren Prescott’s side had a similar reaction.
Hank, too, rushed out upon hearing the commotion, as his daughter hadn’t returned.
Mrs. Hayes followed closely.
Warren didn’t want to interfere, but thinking Ashley was next door caused an inexplicable tension, and he ran out faster than Hank.
The two groups met at the door, Ariana’s group looked surprised, Warren felt an emptiness inside.
Then, the groups saw their respective people entangled in a fight on the floor, with the manager helplessly trying to mediate.
Seeing Warren, the manager finally found his backbone.
He approached to explain the situation but was pushed aside by Warren before he could speak.
Ashley only heard footsteps but didn’t dare move her eyes or relax for even a second.
Because she knew that revealing any flaw would give Zoe a chance to scratch her face again.
But the next moment, her waist suddenly felt tightened.
She was lifted from behind by a big hand.
The person held her, turned around, and placed her steadily on the ground.
Ashley thought it was the manager again and was about to glare at him.
That’s not how you mediate a fight.
Earlier, his mediation almost got her disfigured by Zoe, and now he held her waist again!
But when Ashley turned to glare, she saw a familiar handsome face.
It was Warren.
At this moment, his face was full of suppressed anger, as if he was on the verge of fury.
Ashley was stunned.
Why was it Warren?
What’s he doing here?
He was still wearing the same clothes from lunch, but his aura was completely different.
The fiery anger seemed enough to turn people to ashes.
Over there, Zoe finally without restraint, opened her mouth to shout, "Ashley! I’ll fight you to the death..."
Her words stopped abruptly when she saw Warren.
Seeing her parents also approaching quickly, her ferocious expression turned into a grievance.
At this moment, seeing the closest and most important persons instinctively made one feel aggrieved.
So she didn’t even need to act, her eyes reddened immediately and tears followed.
"Young Master Prescott... Dad, Mom..."
"Zoe!"
Hank and Mrs. Hayes quickly stepped forward to help Zoe up from the ground.
"Why is your face so swollen... why did you start fighting here?"
Ashley was quickly surrounded by people.
Ariana first noticed the injury on Ashley’s arm.
There were four wounds bleeding.
Ashley’s skin was naturally fair and not prone to tanning, making the blood marks stand out sharply.
"Your hand is bleeding!" Ariana exclaimed, her eyes full of heartache.
Owen’s gaze was nothing short of angry.
"Miss, may I ask what happened? Why are you fighting with our Ashley!"
Our Ashley...
Leo noticed a slight hesitation in Xavier’s eyes.
But besides him, everyone’s focus was on the fight between Ashley and Zoe, not on Owen’s phrasing.
Shane, a lawyer, instinctively said, "Why waste words with her? Call the police!"
Hank sneered.
"Call the police? Sure! We want to call the police too!"
"Exactly!" Mrs. Hayes said, "My daughter’s injuries are much worse than hers!"
Zoe indeed seemed worse off than Ashley.
Ashley, being right-handed, had struck Zoe’s face, making her cheeks visibly asymmetrical.
Zoe nodded vigorously, raised her hand, pointed at Ashley, and said, "She hit me first, Dad, Mom, call the police! Get her arrested! I want her in prison!"
"Call the police... is that so?" Warren suddenly spoke.
He hadn’t spoken earlier, checking if Ashley had any other injuries besides those on her arm.
Now confirmed, aside from the arm injury, only her hair was disheveled. He felt slightly relieved.
Now he could start addressing the issue.
Zoe was delighted when Warren finally looked at her, but her expression became even more pitiful.
