Chapter 135 On the House
“I’d rather be arrested myself than let everyone be arrested!”
His statement received cheers from the crowd.
“Sunny is such a loyal friend,”
“He’s the best cla*s monitor ever!”
“He’s far better compared to Cherise…”
Cherise’s expression turned sullen. In the past, she only focused on her studies, so besides. Lucy, she was not close to her other cla*smates. She was shocked and bereft of words to hear such comments from them. It turned out that these cla*smates, who usually appeared decent, had such twisted values!
“Here they are!” Suddenly, the receptionist rushed in with the manager and several guards.
Sunny quickly took a few steps back and held the knife against Cherise’s neck. “Lucy Staber, get her family to send money over right now!”
“Let go of Cherise immediately, Sunny Wood! You still have a chance now. Otherwise, you’ll really go to jail!” Lucy reminded him.
“Sir, please calm down.” The manager, too, attempted to pacify Sunny. At that moment, the venue was in a state of chaos.
A woman in a red dress walked past the corridor outside the room and frowned upon noticing the commotion. “What happened?”
The general manager quickly explained, “A bunch of poor students came to eat but can’t pay the bill. They’re in an argument now.”
The woman found it unbelievable, not expecting students to be this extravagant these days.
Through the door gap, she glanced into the room and noticed the woman held at knifepoint at one glance. She narrowed her almond-shaped eyes. It’s her!
A mocking smirk rested on her l*ps. “We can’t afford to offend this lady. Inform Mr. Lewis not to alarm the police, and the bill is on the house.”
Violet glanced at Cherise again and pondered for a moment. “Provoke the guy holding the knife. Only inform them the bill is on the house after the lady is injured. Handle it well. I don’t want her life to be threatened but to get her injured. Bring that woman to me when

it’s done.” After giving her order, Violet smirked and walked away.
The general manager was left confused. Could this woman be offended or not? What does it mean to keep her safe but get her injured?
Despite being puzzled, the general manager pa*sed Violet’s instruction to Mr. Lewis, the manager in the room. Mr. Lewis and the receptionist were confused, too, but they did as they were told.
Under their provocation, Sunny cut Cherise’s neck with the knife.
“Cherise!” Lucy rushed over in terror. Fortunately, the wound was shallow. Only a thin. layer of skin was cut, causing mild bleeding.
The guards restrained Sunny. The private room was thrown into a state of disarray.
Only then did the general manager walk in with a frown. “Ms. Belcourt offered to have the bill on the house tonight!”
Then, he looked at Cherise, whose neck still had traces of blood. “Ms. Shaw, I’ll help. to treat your wound. Ms. Belcourt would like to meet you, too.”
Lucy wiped the blood from Cherise’s neck with a napkin and arched her brows. “Did you say the bill is on the house?”
“Yes.” The general manager raised his voice. “Ms. Belcourt will wave the bill tonight for Ms. Shaw’s sake. But…”
He darted a glance at Sunny. “This person who attacked Ms. Shaw will be sent to the police directly!”
