Chapter 0201
At the corridor’s end, Amber’s face was a mask of despair.
Gael had her cornered against the wall. She was a mix of tears and screams, fighting back with all she
had. Gael with eyes like fiery coals, kept puckering his lips, nearly planting them on her neck time and
again.
“Amber, just give up, you’re out of strength!”
Amber’s energy was waning, but Gael’s fervor was spiking, diving for her neck once more. His breath
reeked of alcohol as he nearly grazed her pale skin.
However, then, in a heartbeat-
“Get lost!” a deep, icy command cut through the air from behind Gael.
It was Alexander!
Before Gael could even process what was happening, his arms were seized as if in a vice. Pain
erupted as he cried out, “Ah! Let go, it hurts!”
Hurt?
Alexander’s eyes were a stormy sea, his hand a blur.
Smack!
Gael’s face took the full brunt of Alexander’s palm, his body spinning through the air before crashing to

ground, a gush of blood and teeth spilling from his mouth with a guttural grunt.
“Alex!” Amber, coming to her senses, panicked and gestured wildly, “That’s enough, just teach him a
lesson,
don’t hit him again, you might kill him!”
Kill him? He was not even worth that.
Unmoved, Alexander spun and landed another kick.
Thud!
Gael’s body flew like a ragdoll, his back scraping the ground as he crashed into the corridor wall and
bounced
back a few meters. Blood spurted from his mouth as he lay there, shaking uncontrollably and unable to
speak.
“Alex, stop! You can’t hit him again!”
Amber was beside herself with fear, grabbing Alexander’s arm with desperate urgency. “If he dies,
you’re looking at jail time, maybe even the death penalty. This is murder!”
She rushed to Gael’s side, crouched down, and checked his breathing. Her face softened slightly with
relief.
Gael was still alive.
“Bastard… How dare you hit me!”

Gael twitched on the floor for a long time before he could focus his hateful gaze on Alexander and
Amber. “No one’s ever dared to touch me before! You’ll regret this if it’s the last thing I do!”
Amber’s face went white as she instinctively looked at Alexander, her voice shaking. “Alex, we
should…”
She was cut off.
“Gael!”
A group of old classmates burst from a nearby VIP room, finally noticing the chaos. They saw Gael on
the floor and rushed over in a frenzy, faces filled with shock.
The corridor was a horror scene-blood and broken teeth everywhere.
What had just happened?
Gael was a mess!
The shock subsided quickly as the classmates scrambled to lift Gael from the floor.

A nervous classmate fumbled for a tissue to dab at the blood on Gael’s lips, then turned to the others
with a sense of urgency. “Come on, don’t just stand there gawking-call the hospital! And get the police
on the line. quick!”
“No!”
Gael, still strong from his regular gym sessions, had recovered enough to shoot a warning look at
Alexander. We go way back, guys. Don’t drag Amber into this mess. It was Alexander who hit me, not
her!”
There was a moment of awkward silence as the classmates exchanged glances, but ultimately, they
respected Gael’s wishes and put their phones away.
Gael let out a silent sigh of relief.
Thank goodness his classmates were not the type to stir up trouble. If they had called the police, he
would be in a real bind. The hallway cameras would have caught everything, and the police would see
it was he who tried to force himself on someone. Getting punched was the least of his problems.
“Amber!”
A few opportunistic classmates saw their chance to side with Gael and turned on Amber with reproach.
What’s the deal here? Gael’s the one who footed the bill for this reunion. He even covered our karaoke,
and your husband just walloped him! You owe us an explanation!”
